We had really good steaks, properly cooked to our taste. Very good value! We also had breakfasts here, the Continental choice had enough variety to be satisfying and the croissants were very good.

Posto pulito, tranquillo ed accogliente, personale disponibile e simpatico. Camere spaziose e silenziose con ampio giardino adiacente e parcheggio. Punto di pregio è comunque il ristorante annesso dove abbiamo pranzato e cenato assaggiando molti piatti del ricco menù. Consiglio a chi vuol soggiornare a Canterbury!

On arrival the staff in the restaurant were polite and friendly. It then went downhill from there We had 4 carvery’s the chef was rude and insulting. The veg was cold we informed the waitress who said she would tell the chef. We then heard him swearing using foul language which children could also hear this is not acceptable when you are out for a nice meal. The dessert wasn’t much better as it must have been sat around before coming out as the ice cream had melted when we told the waitress this she just shrugged and said she couldn’t help the heat no offer of exchanging it

la nourriture est d'un bon rapport qualité prix et le chef très sympa mais le restaurant et surtout les toilettes ont besoin de travaux pour ramener l'ensemble au 21eme siècle . Serveuses peu attentives , il faut beaucoup de patience pour avoir leur attention pour les commandes et a l'encaissement on claque de façon très ostentatoire le panier a pourboires devant votre nez. Le verre de vin est très cher par rapport a la qualité

Nos quedamos en el hotel y decidimos cenar en el asador. Esta resultó ser una excelente elección. La carne estaba bien preparada y muy sabrosa. Las verduras que lo acompañaban eran, claramente, todas frescas, ninguna de las cosas congeladas acuosas que se obtienen en algunos establecimientos. Comenzamos con una deliciosa sopa de tomate y albahaca, ¡te dan ganas de obtener la receta! ! ! Muy recomendable.

He estado aquí muchas veces y ha sido genial, pero hoy no. Tuvimos un asado. La comida y los platos estaban calientes. Sabía bien, pero debería estar caliente. Tarta de manzana como caliente. Mi budín de pan y mantequilla estaba caliente pero sabía raro. Tenía una costra encima que no podía comer. Puede haber sido pan de tigre, no agradable. no creas que volveremos.

Put up my friend here for 2 nights but it was so awful she left after 1.The sheets in her room were covered in some sort of dirt, and had been obviously unclean (we suspected based on the colour that it was mould). Additionally the towels in the bathroom had dirt marks on them. Her being highly germaphobic, made it impossible for her to sleep.Management & front desk seemed completely unfazed by the issue and sarcastically told her that if she wanted to check out and get a refund for her “imaginative problems” there’s nothing they could do. No apology at all and their tone implied they couldn’t care less about the concerns of their guests, and more that they’d lose payment of the room for a night. Even the taxi driver that took us to the next hotel told us that he’d picked up guests from this hotel before that were dissatisfied with the service. Back home, a place like this would’ve have been shut down within a week.

We visited today to be bitterly disappointed, when ordering asked for a lasagne with no salad but chips and the waitress pulled a face,food was awful, was given the wrong steak asked one member of staff to change it for correct steak cooked the way I asked and she was just plain rude, asked another member of staff who changed it and couldnt have been nicer( thankyou lady with the short blonde hair), carvery potatoes were hard undercooked as well as parsnips, a argument was going on in the kitchen very unprofessional.when it came to getting the bill that was a night mare as they had put our drinks on another table no, then I can only presume the manager said were not asking u to pay for something u havent had, not once did I say I wouldnt pay I did say why are our drinks on another table, guess hed had a stressful day if my meals were anything to go by .avoid if possible or pray u get the nice blonde lady.

My family visited today after pre booking. All of us were really really disappointed with the food today. The whole tray of roast potatoes looked underdone but we tried them anyway. Cold hard and horrible. Not like normal, really soggy parsnips and soggy nut roast. Asked the chef of he had more cooked and he said I'm the only person to complain, no theres no more and walked off. £65 on rubbish food and rubbish service from the chef. Normally good so avoid weekends if u want quality

Visité hoy con nuestra familia un total de 9. En primer lugar, lo que puedo describir era un miembro curioso del personal que se beneficiaría de la capacitación en atención al cliente. Luego tuve que preguntarle a otra camarera si podíamos pedir bebidas y comida después de esperar 15 minutos. La comida era mediocre, que fue decepcionante, ya que normalmente mucho mejor. Pudimos postres nuevamente después de preguntar si podíamos pedir. El pastel de merengue de limón no era comestible y fue enviado de vuelta. Era claramente viejo y rancio. El helado de niño con lo que se suponía que era salsa de frambuesa era en realidad una salsa muy barata y de colores muy artificiales que estropeaba totalmente el helado y mi nieto no comió. Mi yerno ordenó un sundee Maltesers que no tenía Maltesers en solo 2 en la parte superior.

Has regulars at the Victoria hotel we went there on Fathers day,we had a booked table but on arrival we were told our table wasn't ready and we would have to wait 20 minutes not a great start,our order was taken starters arrived all good,went up for our carvery which was decent enough but the problems started with the desserts 2 portions of profiteroles were pre ordered but there was only one adults portion left and one child's but when they arrived the child's portion was the same size as the adults the 2 adults agreed to share which contained only 2 profiteroles each but the child's one had 5 profiteroles when this was mentioned to the waitress she said oh it's the chefs fault,when the bill arrived we had been charged for one drink which we didn't even order but the attitude of the manager/owner was disgraceful she just kept arguing with us and not listening to what we were saying eventually she realised her mistake and took the drink off the bill but really we shouldn't have been charged for the profiteroles.

We prebooked a large table for a family get together. And we sadly left very disappointed. We found during our meal with you, a few things we weren’t rather happy with! Myself and my partner chose the carvery, and the beef was considerably dry. My mum ordered a steak, to be cooked to her liking of medium/rare. And sadly it was very undercooked. Once we had finished our main meals. We all had desserts. My mum and I had ice cream, which could of easily passed as cream. It was that melted. My partner asked a member of staff if they had any dairy free/vegan options. We were told that you had sorbet to offer. To then be told you had run out when coming to serve. The only other option given, was a fruit salad. I am very shocked, that you do not cater for dairy free requirements/ needs. Upon speaking to your supervisor. We were told that we should of prebooked. And made to feel like it was our fault.

Cenamos temprano el viernes anterior a nuestra reserva en el Teatro Marlowe en Canterbury. La comida estaba "bien" en promedio, pero el servicio era deficiente, aunque a esa hora del día solo había 6 clientes, el personal no era acogedor y el servicio era muy lento. . . . Teníamos que irnos antes de poder elegir un postre, habría pensado que 1. 5 horas habría sido suficiente tiempo para un plato principal y un postre en un restaurante vacío. Fuimos de nuevo el domingo, optando por el Carvery que los 3 de nosotros disfrutamos, donde no tuvimos ningún problema, también había diferentes empleados de guardia ese día, lo cual era igual de bueno porque estaba muy ocupado. , Fueron muy serviciales, eficientes y un muy buen grupo de chicas. Este debe ser el personal permanente en estos tiempos ocupados. Sin duda recomendaría el carvery fin de semana,

We called in to try the cavery on the recommendation of our friends and we certainly wasn't disappointed. Although we arrived early a very friendly young lady show us through to the lounge until it started serving. Because we are over sixty we were encouraged to take out a loyalty card which proved to be very good value. The overall friendliness of the staff from the lady that greeted us, the chef to waitresses at the table was refreshing. Now for the food it look nice and with plenty of choice and it tasted lovely my wife had the Black forest gateway and said was the best she as ever had , we will certainly be going again and also recommend it my friends.

Breaded mushrooms and prawn cocktail starters which were generous portions. All had carvery for main which was good. White box, chocolate brownie and profiteroles were chosen for deserts being well presented and generous. At a set price of £19.95 it was very good value for money. Service was consistently polite and with a smile and at no time rushed. Been before and will go again especially as my mum likes it.

I took my friend out for lunch and she wanted to go to the carvary. The food was basic and it would be a good idea to have a sign or somebody telling you what is included one lady who was visiting thought she could only have one choice of meat. The waitress we had was very abrupt and on the verge of rudeness. It was very cold in there I ask her about turning the heat up and she said its on and walked away.We tried to turn up the valve but it made no difference we moved seats and again she said the heating is on and there was nothing she could do about it..So we were so cold we both put our coats on to eat our lunch we had a coffee but no sweet because it was too cold I would never go there again in winter.It was sad because it was a treat for my friend. One more thing there are a lot of older people who eat there and I am sure they would like to be warm

We went to the Victoria Carvery today (1st May, 11 of us), it was without a doubt the worst Carvery we have ever been to. What bit of food there was was cold.First the positives: Our hostess was really nice and very apologetic for the state of the food. She was lovely and very pleasant.Also the meat (all three of them) was really nice, tender, and a joy to eat.Now for the Negatives: We had to wait a long time for the food to get to the Hot Plate. The Yorkshire puddings were rock solid and not edible. The Sausages were not cooked properly (they were still cold in the middle). There was a very poor choice of Vegetables and perhaps the BIGGEST shock was the fact that there was no Mash Potato. I have never ever been to a Carvery where there is no Mash. We did ask why and were told that if we wanted Mash then we would have to pay extra for it.We also food the young man at the Carvery very rude and very inexperienced.All 11 of us have said never again will we visit - So today Victoria Hotel Carvery you lost 11 customers.

It was my fiancee birthday so I planned a supprise to have a carvery with friends and family and stay over just the 2 of us.Well the food was delicious as always as been there a few times for carvery and steak.But was very disappointed in the hotel room I paid extra for a 4 poster bed and Jucuzi well the 4 poster bed was a small double and the Jucizi was just a tiny bath that has jucuzi my partner is only 5ft and slim and it was to small for her! Me being 6ft 3 and 20stone had no Hope of getting in alone let alone together like I have planned! The room was also very hot bearing in mind it's only march and was only degrees outside luckily there was air con but it was hard to sleep on such a small bed we kept pushing each other out! Plus it was very noisy due to there being a load of air con units right outside the window.The breakfast was all you can eat at a great price and is freshly cooked to order.The staff at restaurant was very helpful and polite but the guy at the hotel reception was miserable and looked extremely bored not welcoming what so ever.Will I recommend this place? For food yes to stay over no there are much nicer places close by at better rates.

I used to go quite often as it's close to me but it got so busy. I've been a couple of times recently, once in the evening with family and once lunchtime with friends. The food is good and tastes home mode unlike other carveries which use frozen roasties etc. The downside for me is it still looks the same and although I appreciate it has a kind of old fashioned homely style in my opinion I'd like it to have an update.

This was our second visit to the hotels restaurant. Visiting my son in Canterbury we have found that going anywhere near the centre of town just to eat is very problematic. We have tried a number of places and have found that this restaurant offers a nice range of food to suit everyone, has a nice bar area to sit in prior to going in (and afterwards for a coffee and chat as well) and is reasonably priced for the area. We are planning to meet up there again and will continue to do so.

I have been several times and we have just organised a lunch for a large group (40+) at the Victoria Hotel. The service and food were both excellent. Debbie, one of the Restaurant Managers was very organised and helpful. Thank you.

Not worth the detour, see description of the hotel. Food is nothing special although service is OK. Would advise restaurant in center of town instead

On arriving at The Victoria Hotel, we were hungry and had a meat melt sandwich, wow what a sandwich, plenty of it and soooo tasty. We stayed for a couple on nights for a short break. Our room was at the back overlooking the quiet gardens, near the carpark which had CCTV so no worries about our transport, in a good location near to the Cathedral etc.The staff from the Manager through to the waitresses and the housekeeping staff were all so helpful and cheerful. We will love to spend some time there again in the future.

Visited as a late decision glad we did. Carvery was excellent value and our other menu orders including a vegetarian burger were also good. Not easy to find menus and details on the internet which is something that needs to be addressed and would be well worth doing.

Whilst not imaginative or trendy, the food here (including the carvery - an unusual occurrence) was prepared with best ingredients and was totally tasty for the three night in a row that we ate there.At the prevailing prices, it represented top value for money and nothing was too much effort for the pleasnt, smiling staff.

Nous avons commandé deux lasagnes et deux pies. La serveuse nous sert deux lasagnes et nous dit : "En fait il n'y a plus qu'une pie, qui la veut ?" Un peu abasourdis, nous ne répondons rien sur le moment. La serveuse continue à nous demander qui veut la pie avec insistance, sans même nous proposer le menu afin de pouvoir nous décider. L'un de nous propose de prendre aussi une lasagne. La serveuse nous sert la pie, si on peut appeler ça une pie. C'était plus un chapeau de pâte au dessus d'une espèce de soupe crémeuse de dinde et de jambon, de style vol-au-vent revisité. Bien évidemment, notre ami a dû manger sa lasagne seul 15 minutes plus tard. À cela, nous n'avons eu qu'un seul désolé qui ne semblait pas très sincère. Je ne vais même pas en rentrer dans le détails des accompagnements. Ce n'était pas immangeable, mais ce n'était vraiment pas correcte pour le prix que nous avons payé.

Food was loverly, I had the carvery, which gave a choice of three roast meats and plenty of vegetables, although my wife's vegetable lasagna was the hit of the night. Noticed a lot of locals dining here which is always a good sign.Quite reasonably priced

Been many times and the food is always good, especially the carvery. This was a Monday lunch and not many people there but the food was......It is a little quaint/quirky in the seated restaurant area because the ceilings and walls are decorated with vintage farming and agriculture tools and artefacts and for me this always brings back many happy memories of the area when I was growing up in the 1950's.The staff are always friendly and will go out the way to make you feel welcome.Thank you again guys and memo to self: next time, don't forget the "Diamond Club Card" ...........

We like to pop in here for the Carvery when we are shopping in Canterbury. The servings are plentiful and the quality is good.

All you would hope for from a bargain-price carvery- choice of three meats, sausages, stuffing, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings and good variety of vegetables. Lunchtime bill for two, including soft drinks, was a reasonable £20. Friendly staff. Can get irritatingly noisy when families take their children and babies, but that's not the Victoria's fault!

This was our second visit this year and we returned as we thought it was nice enough and good value for money. Our second visit was our last! I have to say that the approach to the restaurant from the car park behind the hotel is so pretty as the gardens are very well tended. We visited on a Sunday lunchtime and as the weather was very warm the restaurant was only about one third full. We chose the carvery but thought we would wait for our drinks to arrive before going to get our food. We only ordered 3 drinks but after waiting about 10 minutes we asked another waiter and after about another 5 mins our drinks eventually arrived! Whilst we were waiting at the carvery we heard shouting from the kitchen and a diatribe of expletives from a female member of the kitchen staff for which the server at the carvery apologised. We both chose gammon and beef and helped ourselves to vegetables. I have to say that the swede was sublime, the best I have had anywhere, so smooth and creamy. The gammon was nice but the beef was incredibly tough. It was a cheaper cut of beef and quite simply was not cooked as it should have been for the cut it was.Having finished our mains we thought we would have dessert and so waited for one of the waiting staff, and waited, and waited.... After waiting 10 minutes we just decided to pay and go so walked to the front till where there were four waitresses all just having a chat!! Not once did they come and ask if everything was okay or if we wanted more drinks they were just too busy having a chat. We usually tip well if the service is good, even at a carvery but the service here was appalling add to that the profane language coming from the kitchen and the mediocre food... We will not be back!!!!

Beautiful and serene hotel and garden. Ample carpark and short drive to city centre. It was perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

A pub with an absolutely lovely atmosphere in the centre of the beautiful Whitstable. The pub is authentic with a cozy feel and has plenty of board games on offer that everyone was getting into, making for a lovely vibe. The staff were friendly and attentive and the drinks on offer were lovely too. Felt like a warm, friendly inn with welcoming lights and friendliness after a busy day. Definitely stop off here if you visit the town.

We held our CCCU 25 year reunion here. Taking the orders the day before was the BEST option, meaning the whole evening was a proper chance to reminisce and enjoy being back in Canterbury. The food, the beers and the hospitality were all second to none, and everyone loved the experience. Thank you for looking after us all so well... We'll book now for our 50th anniversary!

Since Adrian retired and Andy and Clive left, the cafe (and showroom), have gone seriously downhill, £2 for a cup of Nescafe!!! only one or two customers, there is no atmosphere, or banter in the cafe or showroom, it's more or less been turned into a car showroom, i.e. only interested in closing deals, "goodbye, next! I don't think it will be long before it's closed!

Great menu, plenty of choice. Enjoyed three stunning started, so filling that could not manage all of the main course - which was also tasty. Good wine range and everything great value for money. Not too busy so able to catch up with friends. Have always had a positive experience here
