The best restaurants in Westgate Canterbury South East

The staff at the Clock Tower Cafe are always incredibly polite and helpful. The food is cooked fresh and always delicious. If you have room for pudding, or fancy an afternoon tea and cake, the selection of cakes is vast and absolutely scrummy. Dishes are available all day, which keeps the kids happy if they fancy pancakes for lunch! Excellent value. Cannot fault in any way.

Amazing food cooked fresh while you wait. We had steamy delicious bao, soft and tasty siomai, and came back straightaway to get takeaway bento for dinner. The cook is charming and friendly, and everything tasted so fresh. We are going to come back to canterbury from London just to have it again!

Went here for a second time now and really love the service and product. You can choose how sweet or cold your drink is going to be and there seems to be limitless options. My only critique would be that the menu is a little confusing- they do offer popping boba in lovely flavours, but it’s not mentioned on the menu. Got myself a loyalty car and found a great way to stay hydrated!

I’m absolutely speechless. I’ve been a chef for 15 years, vegan for 2; and honestly i had all but given up on enjoying junk food, let anyone a burger again. This place is the f**king truth, Ryan was spectacular, walked me through the menu rapidly, assisted me in order taking. I heard Anthony in the back controlling the kitchen with nothing but practised diligence and respect. The kitchen was spotless. All in all a spectacular experience and that’s not even to mention the food. I got the mac daddy burger and katsu fries, both vegan. The burger was cooked perfectly, the lettuce was crisp and the tomato juicy, the mac included in the burger somehow didn’t taste like old feet like every other vegan mac I’ve ever had, it was creamy and the pasta wasn’t overcooked which implies it was made with care and respect, not something many outfits afford their vegan options. The katsu fries were superb, consistent cuts on the spring onions so no choking hazard and the ‘chicken’ was ridiculous, I almost asked are you sure this is vegan but honestly I didn’t bother because you can just tell the professional nature of these lot from the second you walk in. (Plus I watched them treat a dairy “allergy” with the same care that a real allergy requires.) Head and shoulders above any other option in Canterbury, I’ll be back for sure, hopefully not tomorrow but it could happen if I’m not careful.

Food was made amazingly. And the guy was very friendly. Great experience. Food tasted amazing and he made it extra cheesy for me. Would definitely have again.

What a good find! Cafe with a difference! No prices, pay what you think it's worth. Great staff, friendly, courteous, efficient and...... good food.

Came down to Canterbury for my birthday and it was great to finish the day here. Very personal and impressive. The magic and card tricks are above and beyond. Awesome. Nicholas Neemo

This place is a gem! Had a great baguette, packed with fresh ingredients and lovely bread. Friendly, fast service and very well priced. Will be back to try more of the menu!

Increíble trato directamente por el dueño, unas empanadas increíbles y lo mejor, la música y la conversación. No hay que perdérselo.

A very warm and safe place to meet friends, enjoy a meal or to stay all day if you want to.

First time visit, pre-theatre. Definitely the best Turkish food I’ve had in Kent, friendly attentive service. Outstanding!

Family run place at the top end of town (or at least up a hill). We had the minted Barnsley Chop which was beautifully cooked. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Very well-recommended.

Really good food. The meat was perfectly cooked and the people working was attentive and welcoming.

Stopped in for a late dinner when most everything else was closed. I was NOT expecting to have the best food I would eat during my 10-day European vacation! The food was unbelievably delicious! When traveling, I rarely eat at the same place twice. Had travel plans not changed, I would absolutely returned. If I am ever in Canterbury again, eating here will be a top priority!
