The Mooring Cafe & Bar

Water Ln, Canterbury CT1 2NQ, UK

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.

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

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.

My Wife and I had been going into Phoebes for quite some time, always enjoying the lovely lunch selection, afternoon tea and amazing cakes on offer. We loved it all so much we asked the wonderful owner (Lesley) if she could make our cakes for our wedding. She was more than happy to accept and provided us with the most wonderful wedding cake and cupcakes, they really stole the show on the big day. Lesley made the whole process really easy on us and was happy to work with whatever we wanted, we even got to do a little cake tasting! We are so grateful for everything Lesley has done for us and our big day, and we will always be happy customers returning back to Phoebes for more sandwiches and afternoon teas!

13/11/21- Another lovely lunch with with my daughter today. We’re always made to feel very welcome and the staff and service is always excellent. Loving the homemade cakes. 13/04/21- Lovely lunch at Phoebes. Good range on menu, large sandwiches/baguette/panini selection. Salads, omelette and jacket potato’s and breakfast menu before 11.30. All reasonably priced. Delicious homemade cakes, perfect with my Americano. Fantastic customer service and the owner was lovely. 14/04/21- My 7 year old daughter was so happy with yesterday’s visit, she insisted we came back again today. The food and service is excellent again and the space is Covid secure with a lovely sun trap court yard. Lots of space and social distance with a warm welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended, well worth a visit.

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 👌

My favourite place to take visiting friends and family in Canterbury. No need to pre-book. The cheese scones are super delicious, I keep going back just for them. I've tried different teas, they never disappoint. Nuts allergy friendly.

Quirky Super place, first time customer and we're be returning next time we are in Canters. Staff were excellent, friendly, professional and the service received was top notch. Teas were really nice, certainly different and there was plenty for two cups. Scones were of a good standard although one totally fell into pieces. Jam and butter were superb. £35 for 2 x teas, 1 x coffee & 3 x scones. Expensive, maybe, but was quality 👍

Lovely place for a classic scone. Their house scone (with blueberry and lime) is delicious (don’t forget the extra clotted cream!). Also nice selection of hot chocolates with fantasy. Beautiful setting.

Was visiting with a friend and hopped in for some afternoon tea, the staff were so helpful with advising us about portion sizes and I can say- they were right! One serving of afternoon tea was more than enough between the two of us. The Raspberry Apple scone was delicious and so large we almost couldn’t finish it, and the finger sandwiches were so fresh with classic fillings! We got the Tiny Tim’s House-blend for our tea and loved it. Overall, Cosy Interiors, great food and excellent service:))

Stumbled upon this place on a visit to Tenterden, the food and drink is excellent and who wouldn't want to be in the cheerful, friendly, busy but not crowded. They were accommodating with slight changes to the adult menu for my slightly fussy teen. Nothing bad to say.

Unsure where to start! Oli was the most engaging, informative chef. The food was simple , but oh so delicious, tiny touches like micro herbs 🌿, dehydrated vegetables 🥒 just lush. I want to head hunt him, but…. That would be unfair to all those loyal Customers . Superb to you all.

An attractive menu of options for lunch. Coffee is good. Nice to see a wee selection of local beers, ciders and wines. The toastie was delicious and the side salad tasty and varied: the peppers are a nice touch. I liked all the plants and the local community notices. Would be better if the customer toilet didn’t open into their prep area but I guess they can’t put it anywhere else, or they would have…. I would go back.

I visited here with my best friend from our school days, we hadn't seen each other for quite a few years and each had driven over an hour to meet up, so it was important we had a nice brunch. I'm so glad we chose Amy's Pantry. The staff were delightful, very friendly and the service was super efficient. We both had the Vegan breakfast, which was served piping hot and we both thoroughly enjoyed. My drink was the most delicious mango and coconut sorbet, so tasty and refreshing. Prices are spot on, as were the portion sizes. The atmosphere is really pleasant with interesting decor, tables are well spaced out so you don't feel cramped. A delightful place which I would highly recommend and as Arnie says, "I'll be back" 😊

We booked a last minute table for a family birthday dinner for our son (who was turning 12), Shona accommodated us no problem! We’ve been wanting to try the Print House for a while and were not disappointed! The place itself is lovely with a really welcoming feel and wonderful ambience (even on a Monday night when most places are pretty dull), the staff were friendly and attentive and they made us feel special and really made the occasion, especially for the kids, despite it being quite a ‘grown up’ place. The food was excellent, with a good selection of wines a menu created from great quality locally sourced produce. Overall, an excellent experience, we’re just sorry we hadn’t been sooner, but will be returning again very soon for sure! Thank you for a great evening.

Today they had a temp chef in (normal chef was on holiday), which meant service times were slow. However, the team did an absolutely incredible job at handling this, with constant communication and the food was still fab (despite a slow service!) on top of this, due to the wait our meal was comped, which was above and beyond what we would have expected and shows how much this place cares about reputation and customer happiness. Overall yes, temp kitchen staff meant slower wait times, but having been before this is notably just a tough day, but the experience was still great and hats off to the FOH team for excellently handling this.

We had a wonderful, early evening tour of the vineyard. Andrew was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the wine-tasting and delicious 3-course meal in The Swan on-site restaurant afterwards. Would thoroughly recommend the Luxury Dining Experience as we also came home with a complimentary bottle of bubbly!

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.

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.
