The White Horse Inn

The Square, Chilham, Canterbury

Quirky local pub off a picturesque town square. The place is full of books and odd little decorations, in a good way (it's a great if only a little random book selection). The staff was super friendly and service was quick, given how busy it was. The food was nice too and very filling. Price was reasonable - we paid £35 each for main, dessert and a couple of drinks. There are two friendly pub dogs who roam around. Customers were nice too - one of them even got the whole pub to sing my boyfriend happy birthday.Vegetarian options: There were several vegetarian options for mains.

Perfect place for lunch in Canterbury’s busy spot. The dishes are varied from meat to seafood based. Enjoy everything we ordered - octopus tapas, beef steak, croquettas, shrimp tapas etc. Lovely waiters and atmosphere inside. Was not busy at all, so makes up for a great destination for a quiet lunch in the busy centre.Would visit again next time I’m in Canterbury

Phoebes Canterbury

56, 57 Ivy Ln, Canterbury

As a local, Phoebes is my go-to place when I want to have coffee or lunch out with a friend. Everything is fresh and beautifully presented, and I'm not a cake person but they do look rather appealing! The welcome is always very warm and inclusive too and the service is excellent. I'm autistic and struggle with the noise and activity of the larger chains in town so the smaller, calm space of Phoebes really suits me. Also, I regularly meet with a trans friend at Phoebes because I know that it's a safe and comfortable place for both of us, and she has never felt anything other than valued by the staff. I cannot recommend Phoebes highly enough if you want coffee and cake or a light lunch, and especially if you want it in an olde worlde venue. They offer such great quality and value - and a big smile!

On a jolly to Canterbury, both of us decided we'd like something to eat, and a cheeky midday pint. Definitely chose the right place, fantastic range of food offerings, with a lovely range of ales. We had a mixed platter to share, it beat us. Toilets good. Staff were great, friendly and attentive.

Hello!It was my first visit and I absolutely love it! The atmosphere is so authentic and cosy!I came in because I saw in menu “Kiev chicken”. I’m Ukrainian fans this dish brought to me memories about my home ? Thank you!“Kiev chicken” is an absolute blessing, adore it and will come back to you to have it again! Thanks to the chef, it tastes exactly as in Ukraine ??❤️One note, “Kiev” is a russian spelling of the Ukrainian capital. The correct one is “Kyiv”??It would warm my heart if you might take this into account.Absolutely recommend your place to visit!Serviced by: Hina.

A very quaint little pub very handily located if you are staying in the nearby Travelodge, but well worth seeking out if you are just exploring the many pubs Canterbury has to offer. The management definitely like their twinkly lights on strings as the place is filled with them (prob a bit too many for my liking) but it does add. A certain charm in the dark evenings. Definitely one I would go back to!

Menu was balanced with options for any diet. Perfect for a romantic date or just a nice meal with friends and family.

We had an amazing lunch at this beautiful Michelin starred pub. The food, atmosphere and service were great. We did the al a carte which is 3 courses with snacks and bread for £75. Between the three of us, we got a different starter, main and dessert each to share which was a great decision to try different dishes. My favourites were the lobster (supplement), scallop, hake and venison. Sam looked after us and was super friendly and knowledgeable.

The restaurant offers a great variety of proper Italian dishes as well as a few which are typical for the Tuscan cuisine. Delicious.The meat was so tender that when I cut it, it felt like cutting butter.Everything was super good, well cooked and with high quality ingredients…the cacciucco and the Valpolicella red wine were simply Exceptional!Maybe the place and atmosphere itself could be a little improved to make the place cosierbut apart from that, the quality of the food, the service and the kindness of the staff make the restaurant a guarantee.Highly Recommended if you fancy some genuine and quality Italian dishes!Thanks for making my birthday soooo special

I went with family to this pub and it was my sister who had chosen it, so knew nothing about it beforehand. There looked to be a nice beer garden outside and inside had a nice atmosphere, lovely beams and felt quite cosy. Now I'm not normally a fan of sunday lunch, since its hard to beat your own mothers cooking (I'm sure everyone says that!). So I was very pleased to see different options on the menu that weren't your traditional Sunday choices. Almost everyone in our party had a different choice for starter and main and all the choices were very much enjoyed! The service was great with the server asking what sauces we wanted before our food came out, definately a rare feature these days. Lots of pubs would do well to do the same, as who wants to wait for sauces when then meal has already arrived? Overall everyone enjoyed the meal, the service and good value as well considering the quality of the food. I have to say I thought the honey soy (and was it ginger, I can't remember) ribs were great. It's a shame that we are not local, as otherwise we would all be back here in a heartbeat! Definately recommended if you are in the area!

Even though we now live many miles from this lovely restaurant we still dream of their delicious food regularly! By far the best Mexican restaurant we have tried in the entirety of the UK and we LOVE mexican food! When we found ourselves travelling through the lovely city of Canterbury a few weeks ago, we couldn’t help but stop just to return to Cafe Des Amis. We had the same food we always had when we lived in Canterbury and were once again blown away. The cocktails are always delicious too! 10/10! Definitely visit here if you find yourselves in the area!

The Cook's Tale Restaurant

Went here for the first time for a birthday dinner and loved it. Food was amazing - I'm not vegetarian but couldn't resist the vegetable thali which was great. When the mixed starter arrived, my companion remarked (not critically) that it was less substantial than she expected and our server responded by bringing us 2 or 3 extra little nibbles free of charge while we waited for the mains.Atmosphere was pleasant, enhanced by a brilliantly eclectic pianist who chucked the "lounge standards" songbook out the window and had me playing Guess the Tune all evening.I moved back to Canterbury last year after a long time away and this was by far the best dining experience I've had since my return. I'll definitely be back.
