Now called Richard Phillips at Chapel Down, this wine bar and restaurant is the serious drinker's…read moreworst nightmare - a great venue, serving delicious wine, that's completely inaccessible by public transport! I've only ever been to the bar, but with its cask lined walls and comfy armchairs it makes for a really cosy place to relax and explore the vineyard's excellent selection of wines. Moreover, if you visit on a sunny day you also have the option of sitting outside on their adjoining terrace, which has stunning views of the Kentish countryside. It may not be the cheapest place for a drink, but I've found Chapel Down's wine to be consistently good and it's definitely well worth a visit. Of course, if you can't find a nice, sober person to drive you there and back and you don't feel like hiking, there is a shop downstairs which sells all of their wines to take away. It also does tastings and sells a range of deli products which are perfect for a snack or a spur-of-the-moment picnic in the countryside.

I had originally bookmarked the Sandwich Bar as a place to try for lunch when visiting Canterbury,…read morebut when we walked into that restaurant, the sitting space inside was just a row of bar stools against the window and a bench outside. Apart from the lack of seats, also realized when we got there that we didn't really feel like a sandwich and since we were hungry, just decided to go next door to the Burger Bros, and am very glad we did so! I really like the vibe of this place, and it's mixed identity. So it's a wine bar called Alberrys and then the back/ kitchen is the Burger Bros restaurant space. They were playing cool laid back 70s tunes and I liked the juxtaposition of music with the Americana style menu. Plus they have free wifi and that is an excellent bonus - just ask the server for the password. I ordered a vegetarian slider and a cider and my other diner got a Cajun burger and a mango/orange fruit juice and we split the fries, which were totally fantastic and not at all greasy and nor did they gave that stale oil taste. My veggie slider arrived on a wooden chopping board (cool way to serve the food) and was overflowing with mushroom and roasted red peppers and Haloumi cheese (you could choose between Haloumi or blue cheese and I went with the servers suggestion). I also liked the crunchiness of the fried onion ring and eggplant so the burger's fillings came together in a beautiful medley of fresh and juicy flavours. If there is one thing I would have preferred for next time is that the burger be cut into two, as this would have made it easier to pick up and eat. Cost for two drinks, two burgers and a shared bucket of fries was £25 (rounded down), so not too bad. Oh the ladies loo was a funny experience as I couldn't find toilet paper until I looked up! The roll is placed super awkwardly and I was stretching my hand to get some paper.

This restaurant is where it was decided that my brother and sister-in-law would have their wedding…read moremeal after they were married on this last weekend on Saturday. Basically split into two section, one half a bar/pub section and the other an area for eating and restaurant. There were around sixty or so people at this wedding meal, and I'm not sure Pissarros had the facilities to accommodate so many people at once. We got to the meal after coming from the church, taking pictures and running through the rain. We sat and waited to be served and talked among ourselves. The head table was served about 30 minutes after getting there, each table not getting their food until 10 - 20 minutes after the people on the last table. So there were two table who still didn't have anything to eat by the time the first three tables had finished! So we mingled and talked among ourselves and bought more drinks. Unfortunately having 60 people in such a small area meant it was extremely humid and getting hot. Although we asked for some fans to be turned on they weren't. Perhaps I'm used to having really good food in London, but the food didn't seem to be as good as it could be. Elle had a steak, chips and a side salad. I had a "big kahuna Cajun burger" with chips and mini ramekin with a grated salad in it. Our friend had the veggie burger, chips which ironically had NO side salad. The Steak was cooked perfectly, but was tough and difficult to get through, it was obviously sitting around a while and wasn't succulent and tasty like you'd want it to be. Chips were fine, and salad was good. We also had a side of olives. My big kahuna Cajun burger wasn't very spicy, I was hoping for more bite and spice to it. Would have been better with a few jalapenos thrown on top or something. The chips were ok, although I had about 5 and I gave my salad to the vegetarian at our table. The Veggie burger was ok, but there was a lot of bread with it and lots of chips too and no salad, which considering she was vegetarian was a little weird. No one had any dessert as we were supposed to go to a reception later at a club and eat cake, and other dessert there. Overall, the staff were pleasant and friendly, the food was pretty good and they tried their best with the problems of having 60 people packed into a small area, wheelchair access and lots of bouncy children who had to sit down for 6 hours and try to behave. The steak was a little on the expensive side, @ £17! The veggie and kahuna burgers were £9 and £9.50 each.

When he left to go to the restroom and come back an employee put his hand on my husband's chest and tried to keep him from walking in the room and back to our table. The bar was not closed and many were still seated so I can't even say he was trying to ask him not to enter because they were closed. Even still, he could have used his words and instead chose to touch him. This really put a damper on the evening. The ambiance is really nice. I love the space. The decor and lighting make for a great evening experience. Outside of The Library, other Lanesborough employees were extremely friendly, with one even happily taking our photo.
