The Refectory Kitchen is a beloved casual dining spot in Canterbury, known for its comforting homemade food and great coffee. It has been a staple of the city's food scene for years, attracting students looking for a revitalizing breakfast or brunch after a night out. The eatery takes pride in using locally-sourced ingredients and offers an array of dishes including exotic sandwich fillings and house-cured bacon.
Can't fault this delightful restaurant. Ordered drinks and food which was ready pretty quickly despite being busy. Food was great quality with a service to match with happy and conscientious staff. Really enjoyable

Food was good, bacon was a bit salty. Baked beans were good, not too sweet or salty, with lovely tomato sauce. Vibe is the reason we were there. Service was nice, care and made sure you were well served.

It was a good start to the day to have brunch at Refectory Kitchen. I enjoyed my pancakes and hot chocolate, largely because of the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. They greeted me warmly with no wait time despite having a busy morning. Then patiently recommended food choices. Throughout the meal, they checked on me twice to make sure eveything was fine. To the pretty and efficient-working staff, thank you for your hard work!

We went this on Sunday evening. It was a little bit crowded, we have to wait for 20 minutes. But it was worth. I ordered smoked salmon and avocado. There are boiled eggs, salmon, cucumbers and a lot of avocados on a toast. The taste of vinegar was excellent.

Went to The Refectory Kitchen for breakfast — staff were really welcoming and friendly. Got there early so plenty of tables, but it filled up fast! Great menu with lots of choice. I had the English breakfast (delicious) and my wife had the pancakes, which looked and tasted amazing. Very popular spot — we’ll definitely be going back! Parking is about five minutes away next to the train station. It’s in the old part of the city, so wheelchair access is limited with stairs at the entrance, though staff would likely help. There’s also an outdoor seating area for warmer days.

Socialite Rooftop Restaurant & Bar in Canterbury offers a stunning dining experience with panoramic views of the cathedral and medieval rooftops. The venue is divided into three sections, including a relaxed lounge area, a luxurious restaurant side with a chef's table, and a terrace featuring comfortable sofas. Guests can enjoy an excellent selection of drinks and a delicious menu while taking in the breathtaking scenery. The cocktails are particularly noteworthy, and the wine selection is fantastic.
This restaurant tries to be trendy, normally this fails, but in the case of the Socialite, it succeeds. Not only is the place obviously attractive in location and decor, but the food and service is very good. There is something for everyone here, a great view, a DJ and fun surroundings. There is real thought put into the place, including very good acoustics, which mean conversations are easy, without a stuffy atmosphere. It’s not cheap, but I have been several times now and would happily return again.

What a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the views, especially on a lovely sunny afternoon. The seating was very comfortable and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our drinks were served quickly and were both tasty and well presented. Its obviously very popular because it was very busy and not many free seats.

The view is really nice and wherever you sit, you can enjoy the view. Non-alcoholic option is available. The food menu is not very spacious, but mostly with its drinks. It is not a place for children. It's a good option to listen to the head during the day and have fun in the evening

Certainly! Here's a glowing review for your waitress: I had the pleasure of being served by Caitlin absolutely fantastic waitress during my recent visit. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire experience. Her warm personality truly made me feel valued and comfortable. The service was prompt and efficient, and she went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. If I could, I would give her 6 stars — she truly exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend and looking forward to my next visit!

The rooftop dining experience was truly exquisite. The breathtaking view of the cathedral added a magical touch to our evening. The attentive staff catered to our every need, enhancing the overall ambiance. However, the 12% service charge in Canterbury felt a tad excessive. Nonetheless, a five-star experience worth savoring.
Binoy X — Google review
Great location for a drink, we didn’t try the food but awesome views of Canterbury, particularly the cathedral and west gate. Look out for the large building on the horizon to the north this is St Edmunds school. The drinks are very expensive but reflect the uniqueness of the location. Happy hour is 5:00 to 6:00 when a few of the cocktails are half price. Service was excellent.

What a disappointment!Went there for my birthday on Sunday.The venue looked so nice but food let me down so much. How on earth you can serve as a main pack of tenderstorm broccoli with few almonds and bread what never came and charge for it £22!That was the worst meal ever! Actually , hard to even call it a main meal. It's just a overpriced side dish! My daughter had roasted vegetables and her plate was more full then mine. Such a shame! It's a lovely place with great views , and big potential but they don't know how to carter for people.

This was my second time visiting this restaurant, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a nice meal. A special shout-out to Antonio, our server, who provided outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days. Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be back again soon!

I had such a wonderful experience dining at Bills! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. But what really made the evening unforgettable was Romy,our waiter. Romy was incredible— so attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had a great time. They made excellent recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and had this effortless charm that made the whole experience feel special. Honestly, Romy is a gem and a big reason why I’ll definitely be coming back. If you're thinking about visiting, do it — and ask for Romy if you can. You won’t regret it!

Food is very delicious and good price. We are very satisfied!! We ordered set menu. We chose Cauliflower soup, smoked salmon pate, mackerel beetroot. & squash salad, chargrilled chicken. We quite loved them. Coconut milk late and coconut milk flat white were also our favorite! The most stunning thing is the service!! Antonio and Rosie are very friendly and thoughtful!! Their hospitality is very heartwarming:) After eating set menu, we were almost full but we wanted to order pancake, then they offered us smaller options!! That was very helpful. Thank you very much!!! I highly recommend!!

Had a great visit to Bill’s in Canterbury! Antonio was our server and he was really friendly and attentive. Started off with a pot of tea which was lovely, then had the Ultimate Brunch Burger and the Steak, Egg & Chips – both were tasty and well cooked. Also loved that they offer 20% off with UNiDAYS for students. Great food, great service, and good value!

Went here for lunch one Sunday. The server was wonderful, I believe her name was Rasa/Rosa. The shared starter was really nice and set us up for a good meal. Unfortunately, even though the burger was presented well, it was average at best, not very much taste. In theory it sounded great, bacon, fried egg and lots of avocado. It didn't live up to the expectations. The fries were good and the meal wasn't overly expensive in total. I would go back but I would be ordering a different main other than the brunch burger.

So glad we stopped in here for a breakfast treat. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious! Lovely place to stop on a sunny Saturday morning in Canterbury! Coffee was perfect and a good set of seating out front should you just wish to have a drink and watch the world go by. Would recommend.

Very busy and nice atmosphere but very let down by service. Our order wasn’t placed to kitchen but it was only after I checked in with them that they confirmed this. Obviously a new waitress that was learning but it just made me sad that none of the more senior colleagues were checking in with the tables she was waiting to make sure it was okay. I witnessed a few people being offered ‘free drink’ coupons - possibly due to situations like ours, but some more constructive management could lead to better outcomes and experiences for customers, as we don’t feel like returning.

OVERVIEW Canterbury’s 5* gem, offering outstanding high-quality whole foods and impeccable service! PLUS + An extensive menu featuring a wide range of authentic brunch options. +The ‘Waffle Toasty’ was unanimously a 5* standout — inventive, filling and tasty. A distinctive signature dish, highly recommended! + A brunch main course was enough to fulfil and satisfy: consensus of two. + Exceptional service overall, with ‘Willow’ and ‘Victoria’ standing out for their genuine warmth, attentiveness, and readiness to accommodate meal changes. + The upstairs dining area was intimate yet spacious, with a bright ambience — ideal for a breakfast date or lively catch-up. MINUS - The restaurant could provide a QR code self-payment option at each table for quicker, hassle-free service. ORDER HISTORY Breakfast: * Waffle Toastie (AVOCADO/cheddar cheese & egg) * Red onion & Peppers Omelette (with extras) * Toast Dessert: * Blueberry and Lemon Cake Drinks: * Hot & Spicy Cacao * Flat White * Turmeric Latte

A perfect breakfast experience from the very first moment. The place has a cozy and thoughtfully designed atmosphere: beautiful decor, friendly service, and an ambiance that invites you to linger. I ordered coffee, an egg omelet, avocado on toast, and a banana and spinach smoothie and it was spectacular… balanced flavors, impeccable presentation, and generous portions without being excessive. Definitely a place I would return to a thousand times. Ideal for starting the day on the right foot, alone or with others. A 10/10 in every way! ☕🍳🥑

Located in the heart of Canterbury, The Corner House is a 16th-century coaching inn that offers comfortable rooms with Tudor period details.

A very very nice restaurant. Friendly personal, delicious Beef Wellington (so tender and beautifully baked meet), cozy atmosphere. We had a table with the kitchen view, which was entertaining, and we could see the attention the chef put to meals

This award winning restaurant serves the very best Sunday Roast. The quality of the meat offerings and the amazing vegetarian roast were matched by creative and amazingly tasty sides. If you visit The Cathedral on a Sunday, make a reservation for supper, an English ritual. If you take the high speed train with an anytime return from and to London, the cathedral visit capped with a truly amazing dinner makes for a rewarding side trip.

We stayed at the Corner house for our 25th wedding anniversary in the Tourtel room (Rupert the bear) beautiful room and a amazing bathroom, being on the busy road it's noisy at night but ear plugs are supplied. We ate at the corner house Saturday menu and Sunday dinner the food was wonderful, had a few cocktails which were lovely. Has own main door so you can come and go when ever you want. Enjoyed the area museum (which is free) and Cathedral(about £20 each but can use it as many times during the year) We will definitely be back to stay at the Corner House

Room was clean with En-Suite. Brekky was brought up to our room at 08.30 the next morning. Hot croissants, toast & jam, yogurt with fruit & granola. Yum!

Best afternoon tea we had during our honeymoon. After having a few in London, we kind of came to the conclusion that maybe we don't like afternoon tea very much... but glad we tried again at Tiny Tim's! Their scones are amazing. The teas offered here all tasted AMAZING! The best part? It was so much more affordable than any other place we went to for the experience. Seriously, some in London were like 80 pounds per person, but here it was like 25 pounds for a much better tasting one. It was quite busy when we went, so service was a bit spotty, but it was still fun. Worth a visit for sure!

I’ve been wanting to visit since their famous “Pudding Club”. Popped in for lunch and was pleased to see it full and doing well. Ended up with a chicken huffkin each, tea, hot chocolate and a scone to share. Absolutely wonderful. Scones as big as your fist and the perfect balance of flavour. This will be the sort of place to bring an older relative for an upscale afternoon tea they will talk about for years to come. We will be back.

Our server Paul made the experience here what it was 1000%, our booking was for 1:00pm and the birthday girl was about 15-20 minutes late as she had no idea this was taking place as it was a surprise and by the time she had arrived and we had all been acquainted we were told we would have to leave at 2:30 for the next table who had booked, a lot of the senior member’s of staff were continuously hovering over our table and were almost rushing us to leave which we weren’t too pleased with especially since they weren’t that busy. However as 2:30 came along and the time went past nothing else was said or done about us leaving so we let that go, they gave the birthday girl a cocktail with a picture of her on it which certainly made up for that everyone enjoyed our meals and the drinks were lovely and they kept them coming, great atmosphere apart from that small issue.

Lovely atmosphere with innovative menu. My salmon with lentil and broccoli salad could easily have been served in a Routiers in Aix-en-Provence.

We came here for the first time today, and were highly impressed all round. Staff were friendly and welcoming, the interior was clean and bright, with a cute little garden at the back, as well as outside seating at the front. As for the food, it was top class. Our vegan and veggie breakfasts were delicious and healthy, and really well presented. I really cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful place and wish l lived closer so l could visit more often. Highly recommended 👌

We went on 2x separate occasions but can only submit one review - excellent breakfast options, nicely cooked & tasty, decent prices as well. Lunch was a bit disappointing, with the salmon & lentil salad, as given the price was £16, the salmon was dry and no flavour to the meal overall. Could only eat a 1/3 of it, however the club 35 sandwich was superb. Friendly staff and delicious coffee, both hot and cold.

Me and my family had lovely experience here. We stopped in for a drink and some cake - one of our group had a peppermint tea which was made locally and a lovely vegan croissant warmed up, another had a coffee and a gluten free lemon cake and I had a vegan biscoff and ginger milkshake which was divine. It was a lovely atmosphere and the food and drinks were delicious. I'd definitely go again and try some of the cakes! It's always lovely to have more than one dairy or gluten free option.

Excellent lunch! We had the pulled pork wrap and the mozzarella panini, both were very good. The portion sizes are large so you’ll definitely be full. We also had a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows (both of which came with an extra cost but they were less than 1£). We came with our dog and they offered us a free pup cup! The waitress (whose name we didn’t catch) was very sweet! We recommend 100%!

I've been to Cafe No 35 on several occasions and each time has been excellent. Food is exceptional and so much choice, and if you are a Vegan or Veggie, you are in for a treat! Beautiful courtyard garden is a hidden gem in the summer too. They have some great events, and the 'sip and paint' evening was great fun! Oh....and it's dog friendly!

The Pound is a welcoming bar in Canterbury’s historic old gaol and police station. Serving up traditional dishes as well as burgers, the bar is great for a casual drink or meal. The attached escape rooms are an added bonus for those looking to have a little bit of fun before dinner.
Lovely food and setting. Got seated in a cell and really made a great eating environment. Food was amazing - super tasty and full of flavour. Tried a bit from all of the choices and even my picky girls tucked in. Would highly recommend it. Service was exceptional as well - attentive and friendly.

What an interesting venue! We had an excellent time with our own space for our karaoke function so that we could make as much noise as we wanted without disturbing other patrons... and we did! Great food and drinks menu and friendly, welcoming staff. If you could have thrown in some air con, it would have been literally perfect! (I know, listed building; I'm just saying it was hot) Fantastic time had by all! Highly recommend for any adult function or event.

Went out for brunch with some friends and had a good time. Had the truffle honey chicken burger, which was absolutely delicious! Packed with flavor and the portion size was fantastic. Good options for gluten intolerant people too, the bun i had with my burger was gluten free! Had a side of skin on fries too, tasty with the right amount of salt on them. Highly recommend the outside seating- the sun was out so it was a great view to have. Massive shoutout to jake the head chef.

Boom Battle Bar Canterbury, located at the Riverside complex, offers a variety of entertaining activities such as axe throwing, mini-golf, beer or Prosecco pong, and shuffleboard. The venue is situated near the Curzon cinema and several restaurants, making it an ideal spot for a romantic outing. Visitors have praised the friendly staff and upbeat atmosphere. The mini-golf experience is described as unique and competitive, providing great entertainment for groups.
Went for axe throwing and bottomless brunch. Great fun for both activities. Cerys was our host before both and she was outstanding. She made sure we got plenty drinks for the bottomless and have some great tips on what to do for the remainder of the evening. She worked really hard the whole time we were there while others stood around not doing a lot. She’s a credit to the company and what others should aspire to. Food was nice with the bottomless but couldn’t understand why the chips were to share. The portion wasn’t large enough for two people.

We came for a hen party event at boom battle bar and it was absolutely amazing! There were 8 of us celebrating our friends wedding and we were looked after so well, particularly by our Axe throwing instructor Orla!! She was incredible, so friendly, so supportive, so encouraging, taught us so much and was just a vibe. We would recommend anyone going to boom battle bar to ask for Orla. She looked after us so well. We loved her. The place was also amazing, all the staff were really friendly and there was just good vibes all round. The ABBA button in the toilets was an amazing discovery, although slightly disappointed we did not find this in the men's/disabled toilets. Would definitely recommend anyone to have a party here! It was banging. Shout out to Orla for the best time!

Started with the Axe throwing, Bobbi was the instructor. She was fantastic, showed us what to do. Very helpful and really friendly. Great experience throwing the axe's, would definitely do this again and highly recommend this activity. Next up reality darts, was OK, apart from the bass from the DJ, vibrated the board 🤣. Next up crazier golf, different, and fun to do.

We would not go again and was quite disappointed overall. When we arrived, it was super loud with the football being screened for staff to watch. The manager or lead was enjoying himself with friends. The place was nearly empty with only 4 others there and ourself a group of 4, we were outnumbered by staff and their friends. We had planned to play crazy golf and addmittedly that was good fun with a mix of skills required and great for a group of 4. The service was not great with it taking very long to do a simple order of drinks and the food took way too long when there were only 4 of us eating in the whole venue. The disabled toilet and men's toilet had no toilet paper at all and when I asked for some, the bar staff had to interrupt the manager talking with his friends and it was clearly an annoyance for him to have to replenish it. The men's toilets also were not clean. The disable toilet is so darkly lit that it would be dangerous for someone transitioning from a wheelchair to the seat. Additionally the required safety cord has been wrapped around the handle, not reaching the floor or being free hanging. Staff were mostly friendly, especially behind the bar, offering to bring drinks over. Overall, we would not come back again.

Cafe St Pierre, located at 41 St Peter's St in Canterbury, offers a delightful French experience. Run by a Frenchman, this charming cafe exudes an authentic Parisian vibe. Indulge in their delectable baguettes and irresistible cakes while sipping on thick hot chocolates that actually taste like real chocolate. The quaint environment and the option to order in French add to the unique experience.
A Little Taste of France in Canterbury 🇫🇷☕ Café Saint-Pierre is a quaint shop that truly transports you to the streets of France. From the decor to the staff and overall vibe, it felt like a charming French escape. The menu was largely in French—something that might be tricky for some, but we enjoyed the authenticity. We got to pick from a lovely selection of pastries. The ham and cheese croissant was incredibly cheesy with just the right amount of ham—easily one of the better ones I’ve had. 🥐✨ The chocolate croissant was beautifully flaky, buttery, and generously filled. We also tried the German sausage, which was okay—not the highlight, but the sauce was nice. The coffees were good, though I’d recommend adding sugar, as most people seemed to do. A popular choice was the Petit Déjeuner à la Française, a mini breakfast with a piece of bread, a pastry, and coffee for around £7—seemed like a great option for a light start to the day. Overall, a lovely café and a great quick pit stop before exploring the beautiful historic town of Canterbury. Would definitely recommend! 🇫🇷☕

We stumbled upon this lovely café and were so glad we did! They have a beautiful garden area — peaceful, cozy, and perfect for relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We had an iced coffee and a cappuccino — both delicious. The food was amazing as well! We tried their famous honey cake, which reminded us a bit of Napoleon cake, but honestly, it was even better. So rich, light, and flavorful — absolutely loved it. We also had croissants, and they were unlike any we’ve tried before. They were sliced open and stuffed generously — mine was filled with ham and cheese, and my girlfriend had one with mushrooms. Super tasty and really unique! Everything was fresh and full of flavor, but what stood out the most was the warm atmosphere and kind staff. Highly recommended!

The Millers Arms is a charming 19th-century inn located in the heart of Canterbury, offering a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable accommodations. The inn's prime location provides easy access to Canterbury Cathedral, medieval streets, and The Marlowe Theatre. The 12 smartly decorated rooms are named after Chaucer characters and some offer delightful river views.
Great location by the scenic Great Stour, with views of the bridge and a historic mill. Just minutes from key attractions. The double room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom. Discounted parking available through the hotel. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. The only minor issue was that the room got a bit too warm during the heatwave as the window can't be fully opened, but I’d gladly return during cooler weather.

I'd been pestered for weeks by my son to take him here so I took my daughter this morning. I'd had an ECG at the doctor's earlier, so the timing felt apposite. We opted for the Solo Special which was quite excellent. Properly cooked black pudding rather than the cremated blood patty I've been given elsewhere in Canterbury. The eggs, bacon and mushroom were all cooked to perfection. The table was spotless and the staff were courteous and polite. Parking available too! A great experience, as was the ECG test earlier on.

I was really impressed with cafe solo. We went there for breakfast and I really couldn't fault the food - I wanted a good fry up and that's exactly what I got. The milkshake here is also some of the best I've had around Canterbury, actually made using ice cream with a dollop of cream on top. The only reason I haven't put 5 stars for the food is because it didn't wow me like my other 5 star reviews, but it was still very decent. The staff were super friendly but gave us the space we wanted to eat together, the space was clean, and we were even surprised with complimentary Turkish delight. Overall, would recommend. They have a small carpark, but there are supermarkets nearby.

I recently visited Longport cafe and had such a wonderful experience that I felt compelled to share. From the moment I walked in, the warm and cozy atmosphere immediately made me feel at ease. The soft lighting, rustic decor, and gentle background music created the perfect setting for both relaxing and catching up with friends. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. I ordered the avocado poached egg and a cappuccino, both of which exceeded expectations. The toast was perfectly crunchy and butter ,while the coffee had a rich, smooth flavour with the perfect amount of foam. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They checked in without hovering and offered great recommendations with a smile. It’s clear that they take pride in creating a great customer experience. Overall, Longport is a hidden gem that combines excellent food, a charming atmosphere, and top-notch service.

Terrible Customer Service at Wetherspoon in Canterbury I recently visited the Wetherspoon in Canterbury and had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever encountered. I arrived at the bar at 00:55, just before closing time, and ordered a drink. The barmaid was about to prepare my drink when another staff member, who seemed to be in charge of the Bosch, decided to keep her busy with other tasks. He clearly saw that I was waiting, but instead of allowing her to serve me, he deliberately distracted her until the clock struck 01:00. When he finally came over, he told me that the bar was closed and refused to serve me. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. It felt like they went out of their way to avoid serving a customer who was there well before closing time. If they didn’t want to serve drinks after a certain hour, they should have just said so instead of wasting my time. I left feeling extremely frustrated and disappointed. I won’t be returning to this Wetherspoon, and I strongly advise others to avoid it if you expect any kind of decent service.

Really nice Wetherspoons situated on the other side of the river opposite Westgate Tower. I like that it has a nice little area by the window to sit by, as well as lots of tables and booths. We ordered on the app and the drinks came out really quickly, and the food wasn’t far behind, which was bought out by two staff members. I tried the new chargrill half chicken they’ve recently added to the menu and it was really nice! It came with some chips and a little pot of gravy. It was all very flavoursome. I noticed while I was sat eating my dinner that they have a really useful touch screen display situated near the bar where you can pull up any allergy information for anything on the menu. I thought this was really useful for people who don’t want to queue up at the bar to ask if it’s busy. Overall very impressed with my visit here, the staff were really attentive and the food was lovely. Would definitely come back.

Gulbenkian Cafe Bar is a great place to stop for a bite to eat or drink, as it is relaxed but can get quite busy during the day in term time. It's perfect for pre-movie eats or drinks. The cafe has good wheelchair access and clean toilets, and there are plenty of indoor seating options as well as some outside tables.
Delicious food that is good value for money! £4-5 for most brunch meals, which are served fresh and hot! Dinner is a bit more expensive ranging from £4-8. It gets very crowded at 11:30 to 1PM so i’d highly recommend going before or after the lunch crowd, for meals often take more than half and hour to be served. Meals are served fresh starting at 9AM everyday till 2PM.

Ordered a Kentish Mac and cheese and it was awful. The pasta is bland and mushy and has a light layer of cheese on top which tastes like plastic. I recommend getting the ready made ones from coop.

Decent quality breakfast from £4.50, mine was £5.50 with extra egg and sausage. They also do meal deal @ £3.60, a sandwich, a soft drink and a packet of Kent crisps. Staff were friendly and plenty of tables.

I've visited this place multiple times over the years during university, and the service at the front desk has consistently been poor—ranging from unhelpful to outright unfriendly. The food is decent, but nothing special. If you're looking for a better dining experience, I'd recommend eating elsewhere.

A gem of a place - lovely food although a limited menu, but cheap, and quick and ideal for a quick bite before or after a show. It's also a really great place just to hang out and take your time over a coffee.

I stopped by the café for the Comedy & Curry Night. I had a delicious Homemade Vegetable Biryani and Onion Bhajis. The staff were polite and attentive, the waiting time was good (despite it being busy) and the food was delicious. Highly recommend stopping by early if you’re going to see a show as I got really busy as the evening wore on.

Nestled in the heart of Canterbury, The Beano Cafe is a beloved gem that locals rave about for its inviting atmosphere and budget-friendly menu. Open from early morning until late afternoon, this charming spot serves up delightful dishes like their renowned Full English Breakfast at an unbeatable price. Patrons consistently praise the cafe's cozy vibe and friendly staff, making it a perfect place to unwind or enjoy a meal with loved ones.
Good food and prices, conveniently located close to the city centre. I went to The Beano Cafe for a late morning breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, two slices of toast, a portion of chips and a can of fizzy pop. The cost was only £7.00. The chips were particularly nice, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I would recommend this cafe. If you found this review helpful, please click on the heart icon, thanks.

Standard cheap greasy spoon. The bacon was good but the sausage was like a cheap hotdog with no meat just filler.
Peter B — Google review
Canterbury is brimming with history and charm, but sometimes a hungry tourist needs a good breakfast to fuel their adventures. That's where the Beano Cafe swoops in, saving the day with a breakfast spread that's as mighty as Dennis the Menace' scraper bike. My inner child did a little jig when I saw the name, and the menu did not disappoint. I opted for the classic English brekkie, and let me tell you, it was a full-on feast for a champion. The sausage were juicy and plump, they burst with flavour in every bite. The egg was cooked as expected, their golden yolks begging to be mopped up with the accompanying toast. The bacon added a salty touch, while the baked beans offered a welcome touch of sweetness. But the real surprise was the fried bread. Golden and fluffy on the inside, it had a satisfyingly crispy exterior. It was the perfect vessel for scooping up beans, mopping up egg yolk, or simply savoring on its own. The toast, perfectly toasted and generously buttered, provided a more traditional option for those who prefer a less adventurous approach. The Beano Cafe isn't just about the food. The entire experience is a delightful homage to the world of Beano comic books. From the quirky decor to the friendly staff who seem to have stepped straight out of the pages, it injects a playful energy into the breakfast routine. Whether you're a Beano enthusiast or simply looking for a hearty and delicious breakfast in Canterbury, the Beano Cafe is a must-visit. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is fun, and it's the perfect way to start your day with a smile. Just be warned, this breakfast is fit for a hero, so come hungry!

Best place for breakfast, absolutely brilliant every time I visit. The coffee is the best I've tried in canterbury, not sure why it's so good but it is. I've been to most cafes in canterbury now and this is by far the best. The food is always hot and fresh, very little wait time, service is always spot on and one of the best places for prices. Seriously, try this place, at least for a fry-up if nothing else.

McDonald's is a well-known fast-food chain famous for its burgers and fries. Some locations offer large indoor seating areas, but parking may be limited. The air conditioning keeps the place cool, so it's best to enjoy your meal promptly. Customers have reported tasty and hot food, with some instances of needing to request fresh items. The staff is generally described as polite and helpful. In one instance, a store went above and beyond when an order was let down by a delivery service.
I go to this McDonald's a lot to the point where i consider myself a regular. I just love this branch and the drive-through is always a thrill. Food is always so warm and so delicious will always reccomend to anyone in Kent.

I recently visited McDonald's Old Thanet Way and was extremely disappointed to find a hair in my food. When I brought it to the staff's attention, they apologized but seemed more focused on dismissing the issue rather than taking concrete steps to rectify the situation. What's more concerning is that the staff weren't wearing hairnets while preparing food, which raises serious hygiene concerns. I hope the management takes steps to improve food safety and staff practices to prevent such incidents in the future.I spoke to the manager Amber she accepted the mistake but no further action was taken.

This McDonald's has a large indoor seating area compared to others . However, the car parking spaces do not reflect this. Air con works well, so you need to eat your food quickly.

We were in the area and had a bit of time to kill so came here for a cuppa. Cost nearly £5 for two hot drinks. The drinks were self service and there was a note on the table asking customers to clear away their own stuff too. I don't mind mind either of those things but would expect the drinks cost to be cheaper seeing as we're doing it all ourselves. The uht milk for the drinks was pretty disgusting. The windows had been 'cleaned' but with what I can only assume was a cloth that had been dipped in a dirty puddle first. Overall, pretty disappointing

Literally always our first stop in Canterbury and today was no different. The last table occupiers had left their tray of food remnants and rubbish, along with an empty bag from neighbouring Chopstix. We had table service and didn't have to wait too long. Not sure if you can tell from the picture but my coke but it was far from full up. We determined that it was because there was no ice. It was fine though and not worth moaning about. Food was fine

One of the waiters was very professional and high-profile, while the others still seemed to be learning. Unfortunately, the food was a real disappointment. I ordered spaghetti alle vongole, but it was disastrous—sticky and poorly cooked. My husband chose a simple sea urchin and prawn pasta, but it also lacked flavour. For the quality, the prices are far too high, and overall it felt like something in the kitchen really needs to change. If you are staying at the hotel and want to try the restaurant, I would suggest ordering the octopus antipasto or a fish main course, and definitely avoid the pasta. Otherwise, it’s better to eat elsewhere.

Despite minor issues like extra charges for oat milk, many still appreciate the quick service and great coffee offerings.

The cafe was warm and the staff were working quickly to fulfill orders. I often find that tables are not cleared promptly when customers leave however I blame the company and not the staff as IMHO they never have enough. We all know they are not cheap but you pay your money and make your choices but it's good coffee for me. You can make some savings by downloading their app and collecting virtual coffee beans and getting a freebie when you reach ten. Please be aware that certain branches and vending machines do not support the offer. This branch like most has free wi-fi. There is an upstairs seating area but this was closed when I visited as it was within an hour of closing time.

We stopped here to buy our usual favourite coffee...biggest disappointment evet...we bought a flat white and a late. The flat white was frothy as a cappuccino tasted horribly milky despite ordering it with an extra shot. Asked for it to be changed...the same taste. We noticed that they only make an effort for sitting in drinks and the take aways they just damp in the cup. The latte was also horrible the only thing you could taste is milk. As a former barista I DO NOT RECCOMMEND you to drink a coffee from here, go and try somewhere else if you don't want to be disappointed.

Ordered a hamburger which included an extra of bacon. Got home to find it had no bacon, but the ticket printed on the wrapper confirmed Add Bacon. Called to ask for a refund and was told at first they couldn't hear me, despite my line was clear, and there was alot of chatter in their background, and then was told I would need to return to the store to get a refund. How ridiculous. So a customer needs to unwrap every item in store before leaving in case the staff have made an error? There needs to be another point of checking items before the food is handed out to the customer.

Went to the drive thru and it took about 5 minutes of me waiting there until someone finally said “i’ll be with you shortly”. Couple of minutes later i was half way through ordering until the person taking my order just stopped me half way through and said give me one second and didnt come back to finish my order after a few minutes. Then i got asked to park and it took about 15 minutes until my food arrived where they didnt even bother adding any sauce, the chips were cold and stale. Thought this is supposed to be “fast food” and even when they take longer than usual the food is not up to standard i expected it to be fresh hence why it took so long but no. Rubbish

Came here for a morning coffee but was greeted with an amazing selection of baking. I went for the pistachio croissant and ice caramel latte. The pistachio croissant was huge!! Had to share it, although could have had 3 of them because it was so delicious. The pistachio wasn’t over powering and not too sweet, it was in the Goldilocks zone. The actual croissant was soft and flakey. The Caramel ice latte paired well with the croissant. The latte itself wasn’t too sweet either and the flavour of the coffee was not over powered. It was refreshing just what I needed for a warm Saturday morning. They have any thing from cakes to pies. It’s a lovely place well decorated and very friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place!

very beautiful interior. however i should’ve known not to expect good quality food from a place that prioritises its appearance. i ordered an iced chai latte, expecting a chai latte and ice cubes in a cup, not a whole chai frappe. the drink tasted of just milk and cinnamon flavouring - not chai. also, the iced white chocolate mocha tasted just like milk, nothing more nothing less. quite disappointing. the staff also went on about “our frappes are not like other frappes..” then don’t label it a frappe on your menu? label your food as what it is.

UPDATE: 20 JUNE 2025 Just popped into Amalis for a spot of lunch and noticed the ice cream display by the door. Obviously, I had to try one and it was AMAZING! All of the ice creams are homemade in house and are beautifully presented. I tried the strawberry ice cream, made with strawberries (!) and it was one of the best ice creams I've ever had. I would highly recommend stopping off here on a hot day for a tasty cooling treat 😀. Amalis is a lovely café, situated on Upper Bridge Street, opposite Burgate in Canterbury. Stopped for lunch and had an amazing filo chicken pie and coffee. Tasted great and a lovely coffee too. I would highly recommend the short trip out of the city centre to this absolute gem. Check out the cakes 🤩

As a world traveler, I can honestly say Amalis Caffe is a gem. The food was delicious, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the service absolutely outstanding. Every staff member we encountered was kind, attentive, and made us feel right at home. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything right—food, service, and ambiance—but Amalis Caffe delivered on all fronts. We left so happy and are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

We visited Amalis Caffe last weekend and absolutely loved it. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the service made us feel right at home. The staff was attentive and kind, which really made the experience stand out. As someone who has traveled to many places, I can honestly say this café is special. We left so happy and are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

H's Cafe is a spotless and welcoming eatery that offers a great value for delicious meals. It is conveniently located next to Hs Honda dealership, making it an ideal stop for those heading to Dover for the ferry. The cafe serves generous portions of freshly cooked food, perfect for fueling up before a long journey. With ample parking available, it's not just limited to bikers; anyone can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and hearty meals at H's Cafe.
Called there today and had the special with an extra mug of tea. The place is super clean and well maintained and has 5 stars for food hygiene with rating on display. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or go there again my only criticism is you can very easily over shoot the turning in so some kind of sign further back would be a huge advantage so you can be a bit better prepared and start slowing down ready to turn in.

Called in on the way home from Dover and ordered 2 full breakfasts - after waiting 45 minutes for the food my wife overheard a customer getting told that was ordering that it’s about half hour wait for food, after another 15 minutes a chap on another table that had been sitting in the cafe before we ordered managed to get his bacon roll! After sitting waiting for an hour and 20 minutes with no food we’d had enough, got a refund and left. Such a shame as it’s got great potential but not well managed, but in fairness the bike shop was as helpful as a chocolate fire guard too 🫣 Is it a Southern mentality to just leave people waiting forever while trying to avoid eye contact? The 1 star for service isn’t anything to do with the young lady on the till serving people - she was lovely and very polite (I waited to speak to the bloke and he left when a rather grumpy Welsh bloke asked for a refund) And lastly the 1 star for atmosphere - was because of the sad and hungry customers left waiting for food. All in all if intermittent fasting is your thing then visit this cafe 🙈😂

I arrived fairly early and was actually their first customer of the day for a Sunday and a full English breakfast. It was as other people said spotless! For an ageing cafe/Bikers meet. Also the food was very good and a lot of it, I was very pleased and didn't eat again until the evening! Obviously there is plenty of parking and of course it is adjoined to the Hs Honda dealership. However this is a cafe anyone can use and it's convenient if you are Dover bound for the ferry.

M&S Simply Food is a well-organized shop with a diverse selection of products, including an improved range of gluten-free options. The fresh and high-quality fruits and vegetables are always appealing. Additionally, the store features a cozy café with great choices for meeting up with friends. Despite challenging times, the friendly staff members are always ready to assist customers with a smile.
Just had the pleasure of visiting my local am& S store The staff where so very lovely. The manager Jack was welcoming, extremely helpful and a credit to the store. I honestly can’t fault him Thank you for making my shopping experience so wonderful. Wish there where more jacks in this world !!!

Why is the food here so much better than any other supermarket? Is it just higher concentrations of sugar and fat? Do M&S shoppers therefore have a shorter life expectancy? Do the management waft meth fumes through the air conditioning? They waft something and it's so so so good. But despite its next-level produce I'm glad this store isn't round the corner for me -- I might be happier but I'd be even more broke. Highly recommended.

Coffee lovers will appreciate the care taken in crafting each cup; their matcha latte has become a favorite among regulars.
Very delicious coffee and so kind and friendly barista. I took by mistake not my drink and she remade oat milk latte for another guest. And she just worried about my allergy for oat milk. It was really cute. I impressed

Don’t waste your time or money! Used to visit quite often but absolutely awful now ! Really awful food , coffee was ok but toasted sandwiches were foul and not even hot throughout. The decor is so awful, filthy dirty and falling apart! Had to sit on disgusting chairs as the upstairs was closed and we had already purchased food and drinks at that point!!Not the high quality British casual dining cafe they claim to be on their website!! I did put a complaint in to the company but so far absolutely no response!
Sarah J — Google review
Without a doubt my favourite coffee shop in Canterbury. The staff are super friendly and always take the time to have a conversation with me. The coffees are always made with care and I’ve never had any problems with them. (My go-to atm is their matcha - absolutely delicious). Their prices are cheap for an independent business, in comparison to larger companies such as Starbucks or Costa. I look forward to visiting each morning before work to grab one to go, or to spend an hour or two relaxing.

The food was good but very pricey, And the staff were friendly. However the toilets are upstairs and two out if the three toilets were out of order. The only toilet that was working had no toilet paper and was not clean. The disabled toilet was absolutely disgusting and was a health hazard! Unfortunately I did not take my phone to take any photos.

The toilets were far dirtier and smellier than any I’ve encountered on a train. It didn’t seem like cleaning products were used frequently. The hand dryer didn’t work, I had to use the loo roll that was balancing on top of the loo roll holder to dry my hands. The one that everyone else had already handled. The staff didn’t tell me that there is a lift for us disabled people to use. It’s quite obvious that I have mobility issues. Otherwise the service was good and the mango iced tea was lovely. I wouldn’t go back again as dirty smelly toilets make me wonder what the kitchen is like.

Oriole at the Lime Tree Cafe is a hidden gem located near Kent cricket ground. The cafe offers a spacious seating area with views of the cricket green, creating a refreshing and Covid-safe atmosphere. It's an ideal spot for enjoying coffee and light lunches, with a good selection of brunch options, smoothies, and chilled drinks. The cafe also provides limited parking outside and additional space within the cricket grounds.
Excellent restaurant. Outstanding service Friendly and efficient. Wonderful warm tables in sunlight especially with the visit on bright days .Try the. homemade quiche and the soup soup you want to come again even if you do not like cricket.o

Beautiful coffee shop with a cricket ground view. Sun is just facing the cafe. Planty of natural lights and lots of indoor plants inside. They have outdoor sitting and WiFi, too. They have allocated parking for the customers. Accessible toilate with separate baby change room . Also, a book shelf with books and a few toys and crayons for kids.

Absolutely outstanding food, far beyond what I expected, if that’s not too rude to say! Sandwiches were all freshly made and cakes (I had a couple) the same. Service was impeccable too. Can’t recommend strongly enough. Shan’t be taking my own sandwiches to the cricket again! 10/10.

Perfect stop for coffee and a light lunch ☕️🥪 Tucked away in the corner of the Kent cricket ground Oriole Cafe next to the Sainsbury’s express. It’s a lively cafe with a good selection of brunch and light lunch options in addition to coffee, smoothies and chilled drinks. Parking is limited outside the cafe but there is additional space inside the cricket grounds.

Oriole is the kind of find you selfishly feel you don’t want to share while wanting to shout about because they deserve to succeed. I spotted the discrete chalk board beyond Sainsbury’s car park beyond the cricket club doors and ventured forth. Walked in and felt …wow! What a breath of fresh air! Spacious seating looking out on Kent cricket green. Literally a small window cleverly left ajar keeping air circulation feeling fresh and covid safe. Loved my flat white with oat and tuna melt, served with small side salad. And where else gives you a glass of fresh water to wash it all down. If your local, be sure to get your Oriole loyalty card. Oriole is an welcome oasis on a busy day,

We hired the meeting room upstairs at Shot Space; it was small but bright, perfect for a small group. When we arrived the room had been setup ready for us. The refreshments provided were a pot of tea, fresh coffee, juice, sparkling water, crisps, and delicious selection of local cakes. The staff there were really helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

I visit this cafe most days and have , every week since they opened and honestly I have never been to a cafe like it! The atmosphere is so welcoming , Fay & Ellie are phenomenal, the food cooked by Fay is unmatchable, from her Cheese & Bacon Turnovers, to her Breakfasts, various other specials I have tried to now her sensational Roasts you won’t find another Cafe like it around. Ellie’s sweet bakes are also not to be missed, her Brownies, Blondies, various sponges her cinnamon sponge is exceptional. Honestly this place is off the scale incredible!

I have been going to this little sweet cafe nearly on a daily basis since they opened. Fay and Ellie are so welcoming, friendly and amazing cooks and bakers.
