The best restaurants in Canterbury South East

We had a voucher for carvery at £6. We had never been before. When we arrived we felt a little lost as did not know the procedure. However once we found someone to help we relaxed and went to the bar to order the carvery. We could have ordered at the table, by using a barcode, but as we are in our seventies, and not too computer savvy we went to the bar. The carvery was lovely. Beef was cooked as i like it, although as it was a new joint they brought out, it was a little fatty. The turkey was delicious. We were very happy as there were brussel sprouts and swede mix which we love. We really enjoyed the meal. The only thing we left on our plates was the beef fat. Otherwise we ate everything else on our plate.

Excellent restaurant for reasonable price and various choice. Nice and fresh food. Polite staffs and very good environment. Spicy noodles and mutton curry was my favorite. Most recommended.

I was my boyfriends plus one for his birthday voucher , we was looking forward to our special treat today . As soon as we got there we noticed straight away that a lot of tables had not been cleared .we found a seat and gave our drinks order , we waited 30 mins before the waitress came back over to us to ask if we had ordered , to which we replied were waiting for our drinks still ( we would have left if it wasn’t for they had our voucher and we needed to use it ) The two girls were rude and lazy in my opinion as the coffees were just not being done at all quickly and the other girl kept disappearing out back walking past all the dirty tables without attempting to clear them. One of the girls made an announcement to the whole place saying she was doing her best but they were under staffed but as far as I could see they were not organised or trying to serve people as I felt we were interrupting their chatting, we did not have more than one drink each . I went to the toilet and I don’t know how they can sign off it was clean as there was toilet roll all over the floor and was filthy . A red haired young man came in to start work and he turned it around getting drinks out much quicker and was far more productive. The food was nice and once we received it after 45 mins it was good but will not be buying a voucher for anyone else . Shame

Went for a fish and chips meal. £39 for two cod and chips and two diet cokes. The meal was definitely cooked to order as it took a while to arrive, but that wasn’t an issue as we were not in a hurry and we were enjoying the sea view The meal was very good, the fish and chips came with a very small slice of lemon and tartar sauce. On the table, there was vinegar and tomato sauce, which was not the greatest quality. If you are paying that much for a meal, you expect good quality condiments. Service was friendly and efficient.

My advice to anyone thinking of going to this tearoom is Do Not! I have been going to this restaurant regularly for a long time. The staff were always polite and a credit to their employer. I visited about 3 weeks ago but will definitely not be going back again. The lady who served me was extremely rude. The tables in the Orangery (where everyone likes to sit) were laid out for afternoon tea. This was 10.30 in the morning! The previous staff would put a time on the tables from when these were reserved, meaning that if you left prior to this you were able to sit there. When we arrived there were only 3 tables that you could sit at and needless to say no-one arrived to sit at the reserved ones. I am also aware that it was the same for the afternoon. e.g Tables were still laid out but not occupied! It is such a shame when something goes down hill to this degree as this is a beautiful setting.

Beautiful place and great location however I can’t say the same about the owner! All I could hear was her screaming from the kitchen, feel awful for all the workers. Avoid going!!!

The dishes wasn't big, but we didn’t finish it, u know what I mean

Just dropped in to have a drink - 2 x cokes, milkshake and a thimble full of ice cream came in at over £17. Probably par for the course these days but felt overpriced to be honest. Cokes were just run of the mill mixer stuff (a bit flat), milkshake and ice cream Ok.

Great food can never complain about it

Over cooked arrived and hour late won't be recommending them burnt garlic bread chips tasted like cardboard pizza wasn't edible burger wasn't edible

So far I've tried Classic Chicken Burger and Chocolate Shake. Both were good - although the price was a bit on the higher end.

Breakfast was cold - only the beans were hot. Didn’t have time to ask them to heat it up. Not happy at all

Una buena opción si quieres un buen bocadillo mientras evitas las cadenas en la calle principal. Los sándwiches rellenos calientes son geniales en un día frío.

Great place to eat and can take dog and messy grandchild without feeling uncomfortable. The staff are all lovely, I have often said it's the type of place I would want to work. Thanks

Just short of thirty quid for a burger with fries, flat white and a Fanta. I’m not short of a few quid but c’mon? No wonder it was empty.
