The Wine Bar in Canterbury

Fantastic find! Chose this place as it had good reviews!! We had a 3 course meal and great value for money, even the wine is priced fairly. Lovely atmosphere and owners were nice too. Highly recommend this place. Xx

Had a fantastic Meal, food delicious, great atmosphere and the staff are so friendly. It’s one of my favourite restaurants.

Went with my wife for dinner our first time at the wine bar. Lovely welcome from Lisa who went through the menu with us. Tony cooked us wonderful lamb rump which tasted amazing accompanied with the veg and gravy. The squid starter was very tasty too. Had a great chat with Tony after the food. Good family business where customer service is great and also the food five stars 🌟

We were visiting the area for the weekend and whilst chatting to some locals were recommended The wine bar as a good place to visit. We popped in to see if we could reserve a table for the evening and Annabel was very friendly and welcoming, sorting this out for us. We enjoyed a lovely meal and a bottle of wine, the ambience was nice and Lisa was very attentive, all was reasonably priced too. We would definitely recommend this place to others and would return if we visit Herne Bay again.

We went last night and had the sirloin steak and chips. The steak was cooked exactly how we asked and was delicious. The chips were home cooked and definitely the best we’ve had anywhere locally. Friendly owners and a great vibe. Good background music. Looking forward to our next visit (and the chips!).

Had lunch here on a lovely sunny Good Friday and sat outside. The owner served us and said that they really feed their customers. They certainly do. I had an absolutely enormous lamb rump, cooked perfectly with wine sauce. We couldn't fault the meal.

Having ate here twice in the same number of weeks, I found the dishes created a lavish dining experience and well presented in both cases. (The lamb was a definite winner for me.) A big shout out to the smiley waitress Annabelle, who provided an exceptional, attentive and friendly service throughout.

Yet again an outstanding meal 😋. The atmosphere is great and the waitress, Annabel, is fantastic. Very attentive with nothing being too much trouble. I don't understand the previous review as the waitress rectified the problem with the wine and took it off the bill?! We'll definitely be going back. LOVE it 😋🍷🍺👍💖

Lisa and Tony were such amazing hosts, we had an unforgettable evening. The food was excellent ! Freshly prepared and cooked by Tony, the lamb medallions and the belly pork were delicious with lovely fresh veg and dauphinoise potatoes.

We have always been very happy with the Wine Bar, but it let itself down last night. Firstly the food was very average. My chips were quite cold and soggy. Friends were also less than impressed with their food. The desserts were all cakes or a sponge, nothing healthier. The worst thing was we were £40 overcharged for wine we did not have as well as for the food. Saddest of all there was no apology from the owner or any offer of any recompense. We won’t be visiting again.

Absolutely love this place Lisa and Tony are amazing hosts who make you feel so welcome, the food is exceptional, personal favourite is the lamb rump, always cooked to perfection, thank you for another great night

Had a meal in the wine bar last night. Those of us that chose the slow cooked pork belly could not praise it enough. It was absolutely amazing. The meat was so tender that I could have eaten it with a spoon and the crackling was crispy and perfect. The service was excellent. Staff attentive. Highly recommend.

Love this Wine Bar Restaurant in Herne Bay, so worth a visit. You are welcomed with just a warm greeting from Lisa who owns the Wine Bar. She is so professional, friendly, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The ambience is very calm and relaxing, food outstanding, my friend had the lamb and said the best she had ever tasted. I had the King Prawn linguine and just so flavoursome and plentiful; the Chef Tony really produces some lovely dishes. Second time I have been there in a week as had a Christmas dinner last Sunday for a Christmas event and again the food was outstanding and plentiful. The lunch was for 20 people, tables laid out so well, festive decorations on the table and efficient service and excellent menu choices. The food was all cooked to perfection, plenty of it and all came out piping hot. The owners and staff are just so welcoming, offer great service and what an excellent chef. I would highly recommend this Wine Bar for a lovely meal, or even just pop in for drink, its just so homely and welcoming.

Well we decided to have our works Christmas meal here, and what a great decision that was, the food was amazing and a lot of it, and so worth the money we paid for it of their Christmas menu. Really friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and nothing was to much bother. They also have such a great menu choice, for lunch or dinner, we will all be going back to try lunchtime tapas. Thank you so much for a great night. x

We had the most amazing meal here last night. Everything was so well cooked and delicious! We had a very warm welcome and we’re not rushed in any way. Would definitely recommend and will go again (and again!)

Fantastic place to eat and drink, the food is excellent and the atmosphere the same, we've been using the Wine bar for years and is one of Herne Bays little gems. Had our Ruby wedding anniversary here and Tony (Chef) Lisa and Abigale, done a fantastic job.

Going to a concert Saturday evening, popped in on the off chance are we glad we did food fantastic all cooked fresh owners very friendly,definitely going again

This place is a ‘little gem’ Fabulous atmosphere, the food is bloody outstanding!! Great menu, freshly cooked by Tony (owner) His lovely wife Lisa works the bar, fantastic personality and makes a spectacular baby guiness’ 😂 If you are in The Bay ….. it’s a must

Superb meal last Thurs can't wait to go back a second time ....great atmosphere the owners were very welcoming

Lisa and Tony are so welcoming the food and atmosphere are fantastic, would highly recommend.

Fantastic family run restaurant. We had the squid and also the garlic prawns for starters and we both had chicken with mushrooms for mains. All dishes were cooked to order and the flavour and quality was excellent. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and we did not feel hurried at any point. If you are looking for a really wholesome meal in a intimate setting, you will not be disappointed. Superb friendly service and look forward to our next visit. Please call in advance to make sure you get a table.

We’ve been here quite a few times now and it is always a great night out and the food never disappoints. Nothing is too much trouble, Lisa is always happy to accommodate. Tony cooks everything just the way you want it.

Absolutely delicious meal. First Class personal service. Great atmosphere for a Thursday evening!Well worth a visit.

The Wine Bar in Herne Bay never disappoints, the food, the atmosphere and the service is just fantastic! Lisa makes your evening with her great sense of humour. A perfect place to spend an evening with friends🥂🍾👏🏻🤍

Went to The Wine Bar last week with my wife on our anniversary. Found ample choice on the chalk-board menu, and enjoyed two different courses each, all of which were fantastic. The wonderful friendly service which we recieved throughout helped make this a very special night for us.

So friendly, knows menu to explain dishes and great on wines. Food was great and good choice and service good, attentive but not over the top. Thoroughly recommend, thanks for a great time

Very accommodating as we didn't want a 2 course meal at lunchtime

Lovely evening with fresh home cooked food and a good wine list at reasonable prices. Food was excellent value for money. Friendly staff and nice music - what more could you ask for !

Very accommodating in menu choice

What a find. Amazing wine bar. Food was excellent. I had the scampi bites to start followed by the lamb rump. The owners made us feel welcome. Would go back if I am ever in the area again.

Very friendly welcome and great atmosphere. It was Thursday so £19 for two course with a glass of wine. Very enjoyable would thoroughly recommend,

Absolutely lovely The hosts were so welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere cosy. The food was amazing! Especially the pork belly , we will definitely be returning.

Every time we come here the food is superb and the atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. We can't wait to visit again soon 👍💖

8 of us went for the Mortimers staff Christmas meal. Just us oldies as the youngsters did an escape room! Booking, pre-ordering etc was efficient. We received a warm welcome and drinks arrived promptly. Whether it was pate, home made meatballs or soup, roast turkey with all the trimmings, sea bass in lemon and lime butter, chicken wrapped in bacon, or slow cooked pork belly, it was all delicious and served piping hot. Desserts were lovely and so was the wine! A good night was had by all. Thank you Lisa, Tony and co - well done.

Amazing place highly recommend 👊🏾👊🏾

We were in Herne Bay too early for the film we went to see. So what is there to do on an overcast Thursday evening in Herne Bay to fill the time. The answer was...not a lot. Then 'The Wine Bar' came into view. We ventured down into the basement where it is located. The decor reminded me of my student days in the 1970's. Mis-matched chairs and tables closely laid out beneath a low ceiling. It was quite busy for a weekday so looked promising. We were greeted with a cheery welcome and ordered two glasses of Shiraz. The wine was well priced and good quality. Sitting at a table for two I glanced at the food being served. It all looked tasty and made me wish we hadn't already eaten. The wine and conversation flowed so well that we nearly missed the film!

A fantastic venue with a warm welcome and delicious food. Highly recommended.

I booked an evening meal for 2 on Saturday. When I arrived the host was wonderful, she was very welcoming and I felt I knew her for a long time. The food was amazing we enjoyed everything. Also, the portion sizes were very generous. Nowadays...
