The best restaurants in Canterbury South East

Amazing food, loved the scallops and the duck scotch egg. We had the steak and lobster and it was outstanding. Lovely staff very informed and friendly.

Had a decent little 3 course meal here. Nice setting on a lovely day! Food was pretty decent and well prepared. Only downfall was the wait between courses…..especially the last one! 👀 Anyway I’d probably go back and I’d definitely recommend it 🎯

The shop was clean, The food was warm. The service was extraordinary. Atmosphere is great as well. The staff are really friendly, I was served by Kazi and he was really great. He was friendly and helpful. Such a friendly environment. Highly recommended for all.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chapters Pizzeria in Canterbury, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The staff at Chapters Pizzeria were nothing short of incredible. Izzy and Kate, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was memorable. They were so lovely, helpful, and wonderful, making sure that every aspect of our meal was perfect. Their genuine smiles and attentive service and knowledge of the menu added a personal touch that is hard to find. The food was simply fantastic! The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a deliciously crispy crust and a perfect balance of toppings. But what truly stood out was the ice cream that Izzy made. It was absolutely divine, and with some added personal flair. Overall, Chapters Pizzeria offers a fantastic dining experience. The quality of the food, combined with the outstanding service from Izzy and Kate, makes it a must-visit spot in Canterbury. If you're looking for a place with great food, a wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional staff, look no further than Chapters Pizzeria.

Nice place to stop for a refreshment while walking on the Oyster Bay trail

This is our favourite eatery! The food is delicious! Been out to many places and nothing compares or even comes close. Worth a trip! Its a hidden gem.

What a wonderful discovery in Canterbury! This family owned pub, brewery and destillery brews all their own beer and destilles their own spirits. The food is delicious and the impromptu visit to the brewery was a nice treat. The beer lovers especially loved the tasting plank with 5 different beers (and ciders). Nice to bring some gin bottles back home as well. A very nice discovery in Canterbury.

Very helpful staff and fish food excellent

An excellent Costa with easy parking.

Friendly service. I purchased a large order the night before as I required it one hour after opening time the next day. It arrived on time, very hot and everyone said how lovely it all tasted. Thank your Maslabay 🤩 Angie

I was being treated by my daughter on Mother's day. And for some reason the mature barmaid would not serve me. I don't know what I done to deserve this?? Plus kept getting nasty glares from her. What's her problem??

I recently dined at this incredible Indian restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. We sampled a variety of dishes, and each one was exceptional. The garlic naan and tandoori roti were perfectly baked — soft, warm, and flavorful. The naga chicken brought a bold, spicy kick that was perfectly balanced, while the chettinad chicken delivered rich, aromatic Southern flavors. The lamb chops were tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection, and the tandoori chicken had a beautiful smoky char with just the right blend of spices. For the vegetarians at the table, the paneer butter masala was creamy and comforting, and the chole bhature was a delightful combination of crispy, fluffy bread and hearty, spiced chickpeas. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the presentation was equally impressive. It’s clear the chefs take great pride in their work. Paired with the top-notch service, this was one of the best Indian dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic, delicious Indian cuisine!

Not reviewed the food as we didn't even get that far. Sat down at a four person table as my friend and I are fairly big built builders , was immediately asked to not sit there by who I can only assume was the owner?, this was because it is a 'busy period '. His loss as we would have spent at least £25 and not been in long as we were in-between jobs. Will not be going here again in a rush.

I’ve been to a few cat cafes and this one is a cut above the rest! Such a relaxing calm atmosphere for the cats and humans. Lovely food, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. If I lived in herne bay I’d be there every week.

Lovely traditional pub serving a good selection of cask ales. Very friendly staff, especially Helen, who served us up a fantastic Sunday roast. As it's my local now, I can comfortably recommend this particular pub to anyone who happens to be in the area and to try out the food as it's the best I've tried in and around Canterbury. Edit...12/07/22. Closed permanently. Oh shit!
