They do have adorable signs greeting the dogs and even offering their own dog menu. I do love the fact that they take photos of them and there is hundreds of photos on ceiling of all the dogs that have been inside the bar. A group of us came in for a beer and to just adore the adorable dogs. The staff is so sweet and friendly and I honestly wish I lived locally to come here more often.

LOVELY! BRILLIANT! FRIENDLY!…read more Just one block off the main drag of Canterbury, on a much quieter street, is the semi secret oasis from the hordes or tourist crowds, is The Foundry. 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!

A nice airy space with high and low tables and a long bar. Love the sustainable and local focus. Really pleasant server and barkeep as well. We ordered the bubble and squeak starter which was a new one for us Americans. I had the steak and Foundry Ale pie which was incredible. Exectly how you want this sort of thing - loaded with tender meat and veg and a huge, flaky crust. He had the hunters chicken which I heard no complaints about. We finished with the sticky toffee pudding and it was one of the best things I ate during our travels. Loved the sparkling fruit cider that I ordered: fresh and bright and bubbly. Can't recommend this place enough!

Everyone else I was with really enjoyed their food and the experience. Highly recommend

I came on vacation to visit this very beautiful city during Christmas. So just like this bar and…read moremany others, It was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. Having my whole trip being around all these businesses that takes such pride and making it festive, honestly only makes me wanna come back during December. I am from the United States, so it was definitely getting used to having to always go to the bar which never has stools to order your drink and then close out right away. My girlfriend, I ordered some beers and then of course I had to try their chili which looked absolutely amazing on their menu. There's nothing more enjoyable than having a hot meal during colder weather. I very much enjoyed the flavors and texture of the chili. I believe it was sour cream on the side and the rice, which I was adding in. The portion was the right amount and I was definitely full. This place and name does have a fun ambience. This is very chill area and definitely highly recommend stopping in and grabbing a beer. Don't forget to order that chili because it was delicious.

I was starving after 48 hours of transatlantic travel and sight seeing and that plate of beautiful golden fried haddock spoke to me on a visceral level. The fish was fresh and flakey with just enough batter to let you know it was there. Peas and chips didn't go.to waste either. I paired it with a pint of Camden Hells lager and let's just say I went to bed completely happy. Would highly recommend especially if you're staying at the Cathedral Lodge as I was.

The place was completely laid back, and quiet. With the remote location, every care from the outside world just left us. We were led to this huge table. The seat in the back was all pillows and comfort. The wife went straight to it. There's no sense posting what was on the tasting menu. Both because it's been a while before posting the review, and when you go it will be different. That said, the thing that this restaurant brought that is so rare when the word Michelin is brought up, is that this food is pure. It's the primary ingredient with subtle enhancements. Nothing is covered up. It was a leisurely meal. We got back to central London and just relaxed in the glow.

As promised, we returned to The Sportsman at Seasalter for a proper lunch after being so impressed…read morewith the homemade bread we tasted on our first visit. I think it speaks highly enough for the bread that we made the four hour return trip just to eat it again!! The surroundings still shock me, and you would certainly never pull over if you hadn't heard about this place beforehand. We went for a good walk around the local area to build up an appetite before lunch and the bleakness of the place is quite astounding. That said, it's very peaceful and you do get to see a lot of wildlife throughout the nature reserve. Anyway, back to lunch! When we arrived we perused the menu on the chalkboards and were asked to place our order at the bar. I'm always happy to do this, even in Michelin star establishments, but it did strike me as a little strange that we weren't even shown to our table at this point! The menu specialises in local produce and it's no surprise that it's heavily weighted with fish given the pub's proximity to the sea. I chose the slipsole to start and the lamb for main, and my boyfriend went for the pork terrine followed by the ox cheek. I had a glass of New Zealand Savignon Blanc with my starter and we shared a half bottle of red with our mains. The long awaited bread came to start. Just as good as we remembered and we gobbled it down quickly. We were offered a top up but declined as we didn't want to spoil our appetites for the main event. Starters came - my slipsole was served very simply with just a touch of seaweed butter, but it was cooked to perfection and tasted divine. M's pork terrine came with toast, mustard and gherkins, with some small pieces of pork crackling on the side. A great combination of flavours and textures. My lamb dish came in two parts - loin that was cooked quite rare and had a beautiful fresh flavour, and a slow cooked portion with deeper richer flavours. This was served with potato dauphinoise and a really interesting cabbage leaf that I have never come across before. M's ox cheek was rich and delicious, with wonderfully creamy mash. We shared puddings - a chocolate mouse with salted caramel and milk sorbet, and a gypsy tart - a dish local to this area which is made with evaporated milk and muscavado sugar and cooked on a really low heat. Both were delicious, and provided a huge sugar rush at the end of the meal. We finished with tea, coffee and truffles and left absolutely stuffed, but contented. The staff were equally friendly on this occasion, and we would definitely make the trip again. Next time the tasting menu!
