The ambience of the restaurant is inviting. The staff are professional, polite, and know the menu inside out. They are very welcoming. We love the decor and the food is very good. Parking is about 10 minutes' walk to the restaurant. I'm not sure, though, if there is any other access to the basement toilets. The lift is only accessible from the ground floor. Overall, I'm happy to recommend it.

I'd never known that Cosy Club existed until someone I know had recommended going. A friend and I were visiting Canterbury for a bottomless brunch at another venue and just had to visit to find out how nice it was for ourselves. It was a Sunday early evening, and quiet when we arrived. Our welcome was super friendly, and the service at the bar was good. Cocktails were 2 for £12.95 which is brilliant! We didn't have much time available before our booking elsewhere, although we tried to push back our other booking so we could stay longer, but was unfortunately unsuccessful in getting hold of the other venue, which was a shame. Despite this, we had enjoyed our first drink so much that we decided to go back for another before ending our evening and heading home. The lady at the bar even brought them outside for us! The decor is absolutely stunning, drinks tasted amazing and were served with a smile. We would definitely be back to try more of the cocktail menu!😍

Went here for Christmas Eve dinner and it was amazing! I've wanted to go to this place for a long time and regretted that I didn't do it earlier!! The atmosphere and interior are simply incredible, you can look at the scenery and paintings forever, they are all so beautiful!! The food was delicious, we chose a few starters and also my friends chose two main dishes At our request, all the food was brought to us at the same time, for which I thank you very much🙂 Everything was delicious, especially arancini and shrimp 🤤 All the staff were very friendly and attentive, the service was impeccable The star was Bella, who served our table, she was incredibly pleasant and made our evening special Thank you!

First time here and I can honestly say it won’t be the last, service was very good. They were busy with Christmas parties but they were prompt. Food was good but the cocktails are such good value for money, if you go between a certain time it’s 2 cocktails for £12.95 bargain

The food was exceptional as was the wine selection which included a number of English vineyards. We chose the â la carte menu and were very pleased with the choices. I suppose the only comment we would make is that it's basically a pub albeit an elevated one and the service reflects that. Which doesn't mean that anyone was rude - far from it - but there was a fair bit of shouting and loud talking in/out of the kitchen and up/down the bar. My expectation when paying £75pp is that the staff would perhaps be a little more circumspect but in no way did it detract from the absolutely amazing food.

We have dined here for a special occasion. The fire place was on and it added to overall atmosphere. We went for a longer menu. It was one of the best meals of our lives. Especially the lobster was just amazing. Every little piece was perfectly executed and balanced. Oysters were delicious as well. And the wine selection is very extensive.

I had a wonderful time at the Fordwich Arms. The food was delicious and the staff very kind! I had the Hake, The Quail, the pistachio and raspberry tart. My fiancé got the Pork instead of the Hake.

An incredible experience, all round. The service, food and atmosphere were outstanding. I love the fact that this restaurant doesn't have a 'stuffy' vibe. It's top class but in a relaxed way. Will definitely be going back.

Oriole Cafe

Spitfire Ground St Lawrence, Canterbury CT1 3NY, UK

4.7 (48 reviews)

P: 07519 497966

Oriole is the kind of find you selfishly feel you don’t want to share while wanting to shout about because they deserve to succeed. I spotted the discrete chalk board beyond Sainsbury’s car park beyond the cricket club doors and ventured forth. Walked in and felt …wow! What a breath of fresh air! Spacious seating looking out on Kent cricket green. Literally a small window cleverly left ajar keeping air circulation feeling fresh and covid safe. Loved my flat white with oat and tuna melt, served with small side salad. And where else gives you a glass of fresh water to wash it all down. If your local, be sure to get your Oriole loyalty card. Oriole is an welcome oasis on a busy day,

Perfect stop for coffee and a light lunch ☕️🥪 Tucked away in the corner of the Kent cricket ground Oriole Cafe next to the Sainsbury’s express. It’s a lively cafe with a good selection of brunch and light lunch options in addition to coffee, smoothies and chilled drinks. Parking is limited outside the cafe but there is additional space inside the cricket grounds.

Beautiful coffee shop with a cricket ground view. Sun is just facing the cafe. Planty of natural lights and lots of indoor plants inside. They have outdoor sitting and WiFi, too. They have allocated parking for the customers. Accessible toilate with separate baby change room . Also, a book shelf with books and a few toys and crayons for kids.

The locals must wonder what they did to deserve such a local restaurant. Serves exemplary one star cooking, with creative starters and generous meat sharing mains. Comfortable pub atmosphere.

Staying in a nearby hotel for Christmas but had to come here as have heard so much about it. A few pubs in Bridge and this one seemed certainly very nice but typical of a good country pub. BUT tried only a bar snack and thought YES I get it. I want to come back and have a meal soon.

The food was faultless - the crab starter was beautiful, my partner said the trout starter was the best trout he’d ever had and then the roast beef lunch was sensational. The young lady that served us was also lovely, so friendly and professional - refreshing. Would wholeheartedly recommend and this was my 234th Michelin meal so feel I can say that it was super!

This place is a mixture of Korean and Texan barbecue and the food is awesome. They have blended both styles and created some fantastic food.The chicken wings are as a great the pulled pork. I would recommend trying the platter which gives you a selection of meats. One of the best restaurants I have been to anywhere. It all seems to just work.

It was brilliant here. The staff were very kind and helpful and the atmosphere and design was really nice. The American smash burger was delicious and the fries were also lovely. In addition there was a lot of variety on the menu and it all sounded delicious. Overall I highly recommend coming here and hope to come back.

Went for lunch with friends- ordered basically everything on the menu- highlight were the brisket and the burnt ends, and the burger! Service was flawless- always checking in and being attentive - it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve had such good service! Hats off to (I’m sorry I think their hand was Bryan!) either way- fantastic food! Fantastic service and a great atmosphere. (Please excuse the picture! It all looked to good and we couldn’t wait start!)

OVERVIEW Korea marinades Texas on the grill; worth a try for the BBQ meat lover! ADVICE * The “Smokehouse BBQ Board” for two is really for 3! With a side dish each, it was more than enough to fulfil and satisfy. PLUS + Authentic, unique, and eclectic menu. + The “Smokehouse BBQ Board” was delicious at a 4* level. Each cut of meat had a distinct flavourful seasoning. + The “Korean BBQ Sausage” was the most flavourful and tender sausage I have ever had! + The “Cowgirl Salad” was at a 5* level. A dynamic crunch of fresh and crispy vegetables coated in a soy marinade, perfectly balanced with orange slices. + The “Award Winning Cherry Bbq St Louis Char Siu Ribs” tasted like an award, with its unique sweet and savoury flavour. + The “Spicy Miso Ramen” was just ok as it was bland but plentiful, table of two consensus. + The “Bao Doughnut” was a must try! An eclectic and surprising combination that worked delightfully well. + Formally welcoming and genuinely friendly staff, always smiling! + Modern intimate interior that complemented the type of food served. + Walk-in dinner time availability. MINUS - The meat board could have included side dishes to balance the “meatiness”. - The "Texas Style Smoked Turkey" was dry and underseasoned, table of two consensus. - Overpriced menu, in addition to a 12.5% service charge tops London prices. - They do not accommodate meal alterations. - The restaurant could benefit from a quick, hassle-free table QR code payment method, i.e., the "Sunday" payments app. ORDER HISTORY Mains: * Smokehouse BBQ Board (for two) * Award Winning Cherry Bbq St Louis Char Siu Ribs * Spicy Miso Ramen Sides: * Cowgirl Salad * Rice * Kimchi Dessert: * Bao Doughnut

I recently visited Stag and was absolutely blown away by their breakfast options! Not only did they have an incredible variety of dishes, but they also had an impressive selection of drinks to choose from. The quality of the food was exceptional - everything was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. The atmosphere was also lovely, with friendly staff and a welcoming ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious breakfast in a cozy and inviting setting. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Have been here before and enjoyed it this time, not quite as good The ordering is easy, and drinks are delivered to your table when ready, disappointingly today these we tepid rather than hot. Nice ideas for three different bruschetta, we chose the mushroom one, and it looked great but again on the cool side. Previously excellent experience, so we have blended the rating

Had a lovely morning coffee break here. The cafe was really clean and well presented with friendly staff. There's a great selection of cakes, hot drinks and pasty's. The pasty's and sausage rolls are all made in Cornwall and looked really nice. Cakes were fresh and moist with plenty of flavour

This charming building built in 1500 AD, dinner did not disappoint. We were able to sit on the small terrace over looking the water. The roast beef is sliced thin but the Yorkshire pudding and thrice cooked roast potatoes were delicious.. They were served with the carrots, broccoli and peas cooked perfectly not sitting in soggy gravy. The lamb and rosemary meat pie was a blend of spices, savory with the delicate crust on top. Service was attentive and you did not feel rushed even though they were so busy. Loved watching the punting boats on the river.

We were in Canterbury for a two days, and usually we never go back to the same restaurant twice, but for this restaurant we did. In the afternoon we had 3 sets of appetizers who were delicious and for supper we had a chicken and cranberry pie, a salmon and cod pie and a Chicken & Bacon with white wine sauce, potatoes and mushrooms (Gluten Free). Our servers Izzy, Lizzie and Mo were really helpful and helped me figure out what I could eat, with the dishes that could be made Gluten Free. They were so nice and so helpful. We (all 3) recommend this restaurant. The garden in the back is super nice, near the river, and the inside has a rustic vibe that we all enjoyed!!

Incredibly tasty food! I had the lamb chump and shared a camembert fritter with my partner. The food was amazing. Yes it is a tad pricy, but you definitely get what you pay for! The inside of the place is very quirky with loads of clocks on the walls, so a little cuckoo happens every now and then which is fun :) Staff was good and came around quickly when needed, and the cocktail I had was also very nice

I just want to say thank you! Yesterday my family and I had a lovely time. :) We just popped in for a quick lunch, expecting a basic pud like service, but we were pleasantly surprised at how incredibly good everything was. Kind and welcoming service and delicious food. With my husband we shared a vegetable pie and a Nut roast and bought it was perfect! It's easily the best vegetarian lunch I had this year! My in-laws tried two of the fish dishes and they loved them. Can't recommend it enough! :)

Sat in a for a late lunch, ordered a gluten free pesto chicken sandwich and an iced oat chai latte. My friend got the grilled cheese with a flat white. Felt as though 15 quid was a bit expensive for my order - until the food was served! The sandwiches are massive and both my friend and I kept half for dinner. We both really enjoyed our meals! The staff were warm and welcoming, the cafe was relatively quiet for a Saturday at 12:45pm. There were a variety of cakes available as well, with a fair amount of gluten free and vegan options available. Staff clarified whether my gluten free sandwich order was due to an allergy or a preference. Overall, would recommend, especially for those with a gluten intolerance!

We were desperate for a good coffee and a local suggested this place. Located near the entrance to the cathedral (which was packed with students of all ages on excursions), we nestled into a table and ordered our long awaited our coffee. Looking at the soup a fellow diner was having I was somewhat jealous. Next time! Loved the quirkiness of this place with fun and interesting signage, cute decor and funky ambience. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good location. Lovely staff. We will return.

Great location! Michael and his team are really kind, and provide healthy food and great coffee! I recommend highly to visit! Side note: if you visit: 1 - If you bring your own cup, you can get a 20p discount, or a large drink for the price of a small one 2 - They have a fidelity card with 9 hot beverages bought, the 10th one is for free!
