Walking right in is the louder pub bar area, to the right is a quieter spacious large industrial room with full wait service from the friendly staff. Great local craft beers! £18 FISH & CHIPS! A beautiful chunk of fresh cod in a thick crispy hot batter made with Canterbury Brewers beer...lovely! And about £2 cheaper than average! The chips were tasty and plentiful, and the homemade mushy peas were creamy. Great homemade tartare sauce!

The service was polite and attentive. The steak and ale pie was delicious (and huge). Would…read morehighly recommend this charming pub.

Visited the Fitzwalter Arms for lunch on Saturday with 3 friends and had a wonderful meal. I'd…read moreeaten here twice before and each time I come back the food is even better than before! All around the table were pleased with their orders but I have to say that I was the winner when it came to ordering. I started with the Italian style antipasti which included an incredibly succulent bresoala cured by the chef himself. The starter was a rich, velvety langoustine bisque that was so sensational I had to let everyone at the table try it once but they weren't allowed a second sip! The main course of salt marsh lamb was succulent and served with perfectly cooked and seasoned vegetables. The quality of the ingredients was so clearly evident as is the chef's care and attention in cooking and plating up well-presented but unfussy and generous portions. We were all incredibly satisfied with the meal and an excellent bottle of wine. The service was friendly and welcoming and the pub itself feels like an undiscovered gem in the sleepy Kent countryside. Highly recommended on all fronts.

The restaurant is a lovely room with a great real open fire and lovely outlook over the churchyard. On our recent lunch here I had Mulligatawny soup to start which was delightfully spiced with fresh coriander, garlic and ginger flavour and not at all heavy, it came served with delicious home made bread. I followed this with cod fillet which came with a fish cake served on a lovely bed of kale and with what they describe as an old fashioned egg sauce, delicious. Unfortunately we didn't have time for pudding but they do delicious desserts, everything home made. Food is locally sourced and free range/organically grown so green,healthy as well as tasty. Great and friendly service. Prices are very reasonable.

In our view the best deal is the fajitas which are great and the ample sides you get with are great. Another highlight on the menu is the massive egg and chips - it definately is what it says it is - shame it's only available in the lunchtime menu Mon-Sat. We have had a couple of mistakes happen with our orders, however the customer service has always been great so we shall continue on returning. Which reminds me, we haven't been in a while and I could really fancy a fajita meal!

We liked this restaurant so much, we went back two days in a row during our short visit to…read moreCanterbury. The first night, I had a vegetable pie and my husband had the meatballs. His was a side dish so he was surprised at the good portion size, which included bread. He liked it very much but, since I kept raving to him about the delicious, piping hot veggie pie, he wanted to go back and try one. The second night he got the chicken and broccoli pie and I had the vegetable soup and a mixed salad. Again, everything was delicious, the hot food was nice and hot and cooked just right. In addition to the food, the restaurant has a lot of character and charm, you're eating in a historic building, and our server - Hina - was amazing. If we were staying longer we'd return again and again!

Inside the 15th or 16th century decor continues with amusing whimsical antiques and artworks. Service is friendly all around. Great savory meat pies, but maybe skip dessert and the beers... £19/$26 Lamb & Rosemary Weaver Pie...succulent tender chunks of Lamb in lovely gravy with vegetables, wrapped in warm a buttery pie crust...lovely! £19/$26 Steak & Kidney Weaver Pie...I took a risk! Tasty meaty juicy hunks of British beef...mixed in with the bitter, strong gamey, and pungent pieces of kidney...a very distinct taste indeed, not for everyone, but I found it good enough...though next time I might try something else. The chips are thick and crispy, brilliant! £8/$11 Apple Blackberry Crumble...disappointing! There didn't seem to be any chunks of fruit, just a mix of syrup and crumbles. It was very liquidity. Custard was nice though. £8/$11 Pint of Guinness...much more expensive than the average pint price.
