If you want basic quality at a fair price, stop here. The fish & chips were top-of-the curve; dry and crispy, not greasy. The chicken & chips had roasted chicken with flavor-packed gravy reminiscent of a chicken pot-pie (in a really good way)! Dessert was apple-pie, baked like a strudel. Interesting and odd, but good. Soft drinks, tea, coffee, cider, ale & beer. Nothing crazy. Eat here when you are hungry for real food.

Our tour guide had called in our lunch orders before our arrival. We had a choice of four entrees...fish and chips, roasted chicken and chips, meat pie or a jacketed potato. Dessert included. I had the meat pie. Delicious. My other half and a friend of ours both had the fish and chips, which they both enjoyed. Apple pie with a dash of whipped cream and coffee rounded it out. We each had a beer or wine and the total bill of 51.10 pounds seemed reasonable.

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!

The small was actually enormous. They also have battered sausages, sausages, fish cakes. We were in and out with a pretty large order for 6 people in about 10 minutes. Their fish tastes really fresh, as do the chips, not soggy at all. I'd definitely check this place out next time you're in Canterbury.

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!

You can't miss this old, rickety, disfigured, charming, lovely, centuries old Medieval house...and…read moreit's also a restaurant! 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.

Dropped by for a late lunch around 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant had a couple other…read moretables but was otherwise fairly empty. The cafe is small, seating maybe 20 people, with a warm, cozy feel, especially with their fall decorations lining the main front window. The staff were friendly and polite, bringing out menus and giving us time to peruse. It took a little bit of time to order as it appeared only one person was manning the front of house, and it was between shifts, however when the food came out we weren't disappointed. We ordered a traditional fish and chips £16.75 and an open fish butty £10.25 (part of their 12-4pm lunch specials), and to drink a single Canterbury Gin £5.50 with a Fever Tree tonic as mixer £2.35. Both lunch plates were stellar, I'm not sure I've had a better rendition of fish and chips before! The crispness of the battered exterior was perfection! The tender interior of cod was the epitome of what you want in a delicious f&c. The garlic butter peas and chips were good too. The fish butty was essentially a couple slight smaller pieces of the the same fried fish on a toasted piece of bread with tartare sauce, lettuce, tomato and capers. YUM. The g&t was also delicious, "with notes of juniper, citrus peel, coriander and apple", and crafted locally only 300 meters away in Canterbury. If we weren't traveling I would've loved to try some of the other gins too, all the descriptions sounded intriguing! Note 10% gratuity added to all parties, the menu indicates this is distributed to the service team and chefs.

Amazing place!! Fantastic location, right in the center of Canterbury, around the corner from…read moreCanterbury cathedral. We popped in here in the middle of an intense rainstorm for an impromptu cream tea, and wound up coming back a few hours later for dinner. Everything we had was amazing!! The scones were the best gluten free scones I have ever had, served with clotted cream and jam. The brownie was out of this world, and had dairy free ice cream that was insanely good. The steak and onion bap was incredible. The sticky toffee pudding was good, but personally way too sweet for me. My tea only came half filled, but it was a small oversight for such delicious food. I loved being able to order anything in the restaurant without worrying about cross contamination, since it's all 100% gluten free in the restaurant!! We will definitely be back!!
