The best restaurants serving British food in Canterbury South East

Great food and even better service! Went for Sunday roast really great, best roast potatoes - so crisp, and portions very generous. The staff were great - attentive, helpful and so kind.

Stopped for breakfast. Good service food came out hot average price.

The waiter Romy was very pleasant and a great vibe

The Two Sawyers is a great place to meet friends and in the busy run up to Christmas there’s always people who I want to see before family arrangements take over. We booked a table because in December pubs in Canterbury are always busy. My friend was coming after a busy day of meetings so she’d already ordered the sausages and mash before I had arrived. I quickly ordered the chilli con carne while we enjoyed a glass of red wine and both orders arrived together. The food was delicious and generous in size. The service was attentive but not intrusive. If you like a traditional English pub then do explore the back streets of Canterbury, especially Ivy Lane, just 10 minutes away from the Main Street.

My sister treated me to lunch for my birthday today and I couldn’t have had a better experience. She had been there before and knew I’d love it. We got there early so decided to have a drink downstairs and were warmly greeted and served with delicious coffee. Once we went upstairs to eat we were greeted by Leon who proved that good customer service is still alive ! He could not have been more friendly or attentive which made my birthday experience even better! The meal was amazing we both had fish which was piping hot and really delicious. The panko -crusted cod and chips was amazing with a caper butter sauce! We ordered the most delicious desserts,I had the raspberry semi freddo and I was treated to a birthday candle and a glass of bubbly!!! We both had such a wonderful lunch with lots of fun and laughs and I would absolutely recommend it as a great place to visit!

Rarely do I got anywhere where I feel like great food, friendly service and atmosphere combine so perfectly. My friends and I stumbled upon the restaurant just outside of the main city centre. We all had the hot sandwiches which were excellent. Great quality bread, every item in the filling considered and flavoured to perfection and the most deliciously dressed garnish that makes you want a whole other plate of it. Highly recommend. I only wish I lived closer so could visit again!

Took 3 kids here after their football match. Brilliant service, very large portions of delicious food and all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended

Great food for an impromptu breakfast for a family member’s breakfast. There was a constant flow of people so would recommend getting there early. Generous portion sizes and good service.

Under the previous owners from Essex this pub was amazing after the revamp, the food and atmosphere was fantastic and they got better clientele in. I've been back since under new ownership and the place is disgusting and full of drinks and louts that have ruined what was a lovely pub. I wouldn't set foot inside here again as it's full of drug taking lager louts who will ruin the expensive revamped decor. When I visited for a drink there was lads waiting to get in the toilet to have a sniff! Avoid!!

Excellent cafe, good food and good prices.

we'd walked past several times from the car park to the city centre and this time thought we'd try it for lunch. There's a courtyard out back for nice days and we enjoyed simple toasties and coffee. It was quite busy but the service was Ok and friendly enough. Perfectly fine.

We have visited Cafe Solo many times in the past and the food and service has been great. Unfortunately yesterday we found hairs in our food and drinks. We did mention it and received an apology but it obviously really put us off our meals.

I was there for coffee today I recommend delicious coffee and sweetness nice service a lot of space ❤❤☕☕

Great food, lovely atmosphere great home cooked food. Visited with mum for a festive lunch the service was really friendly nothing was too much trouble. Food was really lovely and hot. There wasn’t any rush like some main stream restaurants to get bums on seats. Really reasonably priced. Would happily go again. Caters for couples and larger parties. Very very happy thank you

We were not allowed to go in with our dog and nowhere to sit outside. Not even prepsred to negotiate just said we can have a take out so we walked away.
