The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Little Stour Canterbury South East

Went to the haywain for lunch with my parents. Lovely country pub, serving lovely hot food served on hot plates. Our new place to go. Looking forward to our next visit.

My husband and I unusually had an afternoon off work and decided to treat ourselves to lunch out. The Grove Ferry inn has had a really bad reputation for food locally for years but I had recently read that they had a new chef so we decided to give it a go today. Wish we hadn’t bothered, I’m sure there was no actual chef involved! Pleasant enough waitress but was taking our drinks order before we had even sat down so had to scan the wine list quickly. There was only one other table with people at lunchtime on a Friday so that should’ve given the game away really. It was a freezing cold day outside and cold in the restaurant with no fire lit. I ordered a burger from a very limited menu and my husband the trio of sausages. It all looked ok when it arrived but it was made of cheap sausages that all tasted the same, not different as specified, and a cheap salty burger with frozen chips. Bog standard gravy from a tub and frozen onion rings, need I go on? Very disappointed and definitely won’t be back or recommending it to any of our friends. Such a shame it’s such a beautiful location, they just need a proper chef and quality ingredients and some heating would be good too!!!
