The best restaurants serving British food in Seasalter Canterbury South East

Visited the hotel for a meal, food was excellent, service amazing. The staff were the most politest people we have been served by for a long time.Will definitely be going back

Tables inside and out. Good menu selection. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Water for the dogs was available. Prices are good as is the service.

On Friday 25th.Oct we visited The Sportsman with friends and had a lovely evening, the food was outstanding with great attention to detail. Even the bread selection was good. Every course didn’t disappoint and was superbly tasty. I particularly loved the roast partridge with bread sauce and rose hip syrup. The Lemon Verbena Posset with Madeline’s was lovely but the lemon tea that was served with it was horrible, it tasted like Lemsip but not as good. However, this didn’t matter as everything else was excellent. We will be returning.

We came here for Sunday lunch like we have done in the past to meet family. When booking we were told we had to split our party between two tables and 30 minutes apart (the table where they were going to sit was empty for 30 minutes) . We hadn’t even taken off our coats and were asked if we were ready to order. The staff were polite but felt like they were in a rush and not relaxed. We were still eating our starters when we was asked if we was finished. The food was nice but just felt the service was rushed. We were half way through our Sunday dinner when our other part of family sat down. We would have preferred to sit together and waited longer for our food.

I visit Herne bay about five times a year. I used to go playing the Amusements in neptunes and used to eat lovely fish and chips there. They used to be free because I played the machines. When it closed I tried deans place as the chef worked there after neptunes closed. The fish was still nice.. Fast forward years and the fish portions seemed smaller. The last few times including this one the fish batter is softer. Fish was smaller and not as tasty This time granddaughter saveloy was hard. Not like a saveloy taste imo. My fish was small slimy texture and soft batter insipid flavour and chips looked anaemically white. Nothing special to taste . . My wife's wasn't too bad but at nearly fifteen pounds each i won't ever go again.
