Tried out Ruya Kitchen for the first time and I have to say that it was superb! They have a very comprehensive menu and offer options for vegetarians as well. The staff are really friendly, welcoming, helpful and great to chat with. The food is excellent, nicely presented and portion sizes are really good for the money. Everything was cooked to perfection and I really enjoyed everything, definitely visit again soon...... Perfect! 10 out of 10 👌

Very nice place with kind and helpful ppl working in it. The food and cakes looks very appetising. The cafelatte cake was moist, creamy and soft. I will definitely come back for the chocolate and orange one 😏👌🏼 The coffee has traditional flavours and barista had served it with creamy, steamed milk. Gluten-free and vegan cakes are available also. There is toilet in the premises. Prices looks reasonable considering that operating a shop must be costly nowadays.

Looks clean and tidy. Fresh hot pasty . Turnovers.Homemade. Range of teas. Good coffee. Does not do fried egg but that's due to not having the facilities. Still lots to choose from Quick service . Very polite . Passionate business owners. Not been open very long. One small step down into cafe Some nice space but compact. Couple of the tables would be awkward to sit on because of a pillar and table in walk way . Quite narrow. Wouldnt fit wheelchair through. Could use front of shop has two tables by windows with more room. Toilet available . Small but clean. Nice handwash and kitchen roll for hand washing. One step up to the toilet area. Wouldnt be able to fit a wheelchair. Dogs are welcome. Breakfast looks nice and seen some happy customers Can do cash or card . Gives receipts by email or paper. Sandwich very nice. Well presented. Bacon cooked well. Bread nice and fluffy. . Scrambled egg tasty! Served with salad crispy and nice dressing  also some coleslaw on the side . Reasonable price and Inexpensive compared to most other local cafes Most places your looking at 7.50 a sandwich . Gluten free and vegan options available. Could have a nicer looking menu and a little more appealing advertising out front. Maybe a menu in the window to show what's available and the great prices. Parking isnt available outside but has some off road parking locally and a car park just down the road. Station road. Would definately go back again :)

If you want excellent food, freshly prepared with top end ingredients and cooked to order, then Tony's 'Street Chef' is the place to go. Highly recommend the Hersden Burger, but only if you are hungry.

Great little cafe and/or bar (your choice) right on the river. In summer, watch moorhens building their nests as you sip your flat white and eat your carrot and courgette cake (SO good!). In winter,cosy up with a plate of steaming crumpets and a coffee or, later, red wine and watch the punts still passing, everyone well wrapped up. What a find. Food is fabulous - totally delicious. Staff cool as cucumbers

Never have I been accosted on the street before with such a positive outcome. Luke approached us in the street, but wasn't pushy, and asked if we wanted to try a river tour. We were interested and took him up on his offer and he gave us a voucher. We wandered down to the Mooring Cafe & Bar , got booked on and to our surprise had Luke as a tour guide. He was fantastic, knowledgeable and full of banter. He tried to engage with everyone on the boat, always making sure everyone enjoyed their experience. After the tour was done, we arrived back again at the Mooring bar to sample some of the delicious cocktails that were designed by Rosie (including the best cocktail I've ever had, The Hive mind). Verity served us and was fantastic, despite being new to the team. Overall, a great experience. Even when the kitchen was closed, they sorted us out with some pitta and hummus to keep our hunger at bay. A worthwhile visit.

They are really nice staff, I had the cloudy apple juice was really nice. They gave us 20% off for a small delay and I love it. The options are nice and I would really recommend it to people visiting they also do punning. The fish finger sandwich was delicious! I ate it so quickly because it was so nice

This place is well worth the visit. We had a few drinks in the bar whilst we waited for our punting tour. Sebastian was our tour guide, who was full of knowledge about the city and had some good banter to go with it. I would highly recommend the tour, location and the the service of this hidden gem. It's a great way to see Canterbury from the river.

Only had a coffee while waiting for our punt. Young men working there were super friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the punt ride. Thought it was going to be longer which would have been nice but would still recommend the experience.

Ladies toilet very clean with toilet rolls, hand wash etc. Food & drinks great value for money , you come out feeling full and satisfied. Whole heartedly recommend. Easy to book on the phone, good communication. Thank you Zane and team for a wonderful Service, keep it up 👍 . We’ll be back for some delicious food 😊. I think that’s my favourite restaurant now in Sittingbourne 😉.

The overall experience was good, but there’s definitely room for improvement. It felt like the restaurant was short-staffed, which impacted service quality. Attention to detail could also be better. I wouldn’t recommend the steak - was inconsistent—one side was well done while the other was medium, which was disappointing, but the chicken shish was perfect—juicy, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. With a bit more focus, this place could be excellent.

As an Australian and a lover of coffee you always get nervous getting coffee overseas! Can confirm that this coffee is perfect! Fantastic little cafe with a brilliant owner! Huge selection of amazing home made bread & pastries which the owner makes himself! This place is brilliant, located in the town centre, with indoor and outdoor seating, definitely would recommend if your looking for a place to stop and have a drink!

One of Kent's best bakery/patisseries? You bet! On Tenterden High Street, among a smattering of cake shops and bakeries, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. Every bite here tastes like it was crafted by a pastry wizard and it is. We dove into a selection of their filled baguettes, slathered with salted butter, and let’s just say, our taste buds threw a party. And the almond croissant? Don’t even get me started. Imagine the fluffiest cloud marrying the smoothest almond creme pat – that's what it’s like. The sausage croissant was a savory masterpiece, (a touch overcooked) and the cappuccino was like a warm hug in a cup. Chris and Graham have truly worked their magic, turning this small shop into a sparkling gem. If you’re in the mood to pamper yourself with some top-notch treats, make a beeline for this bakery. Your taste buds will thank you!

Nice restaurant. It is at the same place as Kitch that offer normal brunch. You just need to ask for the Hungarian menu. We ordered one beef stew with nokedli and chicken paprika with rice. Both were delicious. We went there during lunch time. It was quite packed so it took a little long time to get the food. However, the food was lovely so it was worth the wait!

What an amazing gem this place is! Found it based on recommendations and so glad I got to try it on my visit to Canterbury. I got the veggie breakfast which has got to be up there with one of the best I’ve had. Special mention to the falafel balls and hummus. The ingredients were high quality and fresh and a lot of care and attention had gone into the breakfast. The coffee was lovely and it’s a great space with upstairs seating also available and if you’re lucky to get a window seat you can overlook the town.

Wow, what an awesome cafe! I work just round the corner at the university and have been meaning to try this place for a while. I was not disappointed! The decor and vibe of the place is very welcoming, and the service was impeccable. I ordered the set 2, which was great value for about 8 quid considering it includes tea and toast/bread. Every part of the meal was cooked perfectly and the ingredients are good quality. Sausage was nice and herby too which is just how they should be. Will definitely come again more regularly to support such a well-run establishment with superb food and value.
