The best restaurants in St Stephens Canterbury South East

We come here twice a year for special occasions . It's such a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. We are back this weekend with friends that haven't been before.

Visited this restaurant twice during our recent stay nearby and was impressed both times. Food, service, ambience all first rate. A lovely dining experience.

If I could give it a 0 out of 5 I would!!!! The worst curry I genuinely have ever had, I have had ready meals from Sainburys miles better than this watery mess. I can’t believe how expensive it was for the standard of the food and wait time. Please do not waste your time with this restaurant and go to any other restaurant. This is not an exaggeration, I would not even describe what we tried to eat as curry. We ordered 2 chicken tikka masala’s and saag aloo, couldn’t even eat it after 2 mouthfuls, horrendous. STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT 0/5!!!!!!!

The food here is always good and reasonably priced. Expect queues during the weekend (especially when the weather is good) but we were happy to wait for a table.

Two slices of white bread, a tablespoon of prawns, some salad. A take away sandwich. £5.40. Need I say more. Needless to say I won’t be going back.

Wonderful to sit at the bar and watch an excellent young chef who is clearly passionate about his work. I had a simple but delicious egg and bacon sandwich but my wife had a vegetarian breakfast and said it’s some of the best food she has ever tasted. Simple food cooked with flare in front of the customers. Its a small kitchen so not the quickest but there’s plenty to do while waiting.

Lovely setting. Great dog friendly pub. Disappointingly not so friendly to humans. We reserved a table for Sunday lunch, upon arrival we were left standing at the bar with 2 staff doing their best to avoid eye contact… then Sophie walked in and knew exactly what being a good host meant, attentive with a smile, I hope her disposition is catching to the other staff. Food was OK, timing was a bit here and there, had almost finished when the cauliflower cheese arrived, was more like cauliflower poached in milk but nothing compares to Mums 🤷‍♂️ We’d give it a second go but can’t score more than a 3.

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

Nice ambience and friendly staff. Bagels..... But little else on offer. That said my crushed avocado 🥑 and smoked salmon was spot on. It just needs a menu that offers more variety..... Quiches, Homemade Soups would be great additions. Located in The Old Town Hall. Fully Licensed and Coffee/Cake for afters.

A standard Wetherspoons pub, covers all the bases.

The potato and peas curry was smelling and was stale!!!
