The best restaurants in Marshside Canterbury South East

Do not be put off by the slightly dull exterior of the Royal Oak, inside is superb and at the rear are tables overlooking open countryside. A very friendly welcome from the landlord and the offer of freshly cooked food is all that two weary and hungry walkers could ever hope for. Having chosen the ‘all day breakfast’ we were not disappointed. It was fantastic value for money.

A long time since I visited this pub, once a favourite many years ago. I came for lunch as I had seen the postings on Facebook about a new menu. Came early so not at all busy. Excellent 'pub grub' menu choices, expertly and quickly cooked and served. Very reasonable prices. The usual Shepherd Neame drink choices. Looking forward to visiting when the fire is lit.

3 milk pancakes banana whippy ice cream and toffee sauce. Very yummy worth the price. Very much recommend. You must go there before end of week. Me going again tomorrow.

Madam, madam, madam, it’s delicious! ! ! ! ! My brother and I eat there every week!

Amazing Sunday lunch….. service & food was to perfection, lovely and warm with the open fire, can’t wait to return 💫💫

Wonderful roast lamb dinner with the family. The pub itself has a lovely atmosphere with the open fire roaring away. Friendly attentive staff. Looking forward to returning soon. Highly recommend 👌.

We arrived at the Gate Inn just when they had stopped serving food - oh no! The lovely bar lady asked the kitchen if they could possibly do two more lunches and they agreed. We were so hungry and very happy we could get something before we drove home. The fish pie was home made and the mashed potato was smooooth! But best of all we liked the friendly atmosphere. Thank you for fitting us in for lunch! xx

Had a nice bacon baguette really nice good price but feel ripped of paying £3 for supposed American pancakes turns out they are mini ones with syrup, kind of feel I got ripped of there.
