Friendly atmosphere. Good selection on the menu and well presented. A little dearer than we usually spend, but definitely worth a visit. We will be going back sometime

Heavenly cakes. Happy & friendly staff. Tadpole makes a great meeting place for walks and is dog-friendly. [Update] Croque madame to die for and the most gorgeous lemon drizzle cake.

I have been here many times and always had a good experience. The food is delicious and staff helpful and friendly. The outside seating is on loose stone with some shade and inside are a few large tables for a big group. The venue is varied and GF and vegans are catered for.

Great food here. A Birthday celebration meal and yet again the good was excellent. All chefs specials are recommended. The staff are helpful and friendly and thr service was quick and efficient. Only dropping one star for the cost of the soft drinks 6 cokes came to over £31.00 which I thought was a little steep.

Very tasty meal. Would have liked more fresh herbs but perhaps chose the wrong dish. Reasonably priced. Not a great atmosphere but wasn’t going there for that and didn’t expect there to be so all good. Need better lighting!

Travelling down from Oxfordshire for a family gathering so a curry was perfect. Fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We sat in the small bar area for over 2 hours before moving to out table (our choice) and had a great night. The food is very good, such an extensive menu it's hard to choose when you want to try everything. Will definitely come back.

Lovely food and quality entertainment. Only fly in the ointment was,I booked for 5, when one couldnt come, I was charged full price for their booking. It just makes it difficult, because even if you want to go with others, you will need to make sure they take responsibility for their own booking

The food was great with very generous portions. The staff were lovely. My only slightly negative comment was the overpowering smell of bleach which was a bit off putting. If we were in the area again we would certainly return.

We visited the Fat Ox in Tenterden today, having won a meal for two on a facebook competition.. we would have happily paid for the meal as it was all amazing. We both had the pork belly with crackling, pigs in blankets on the side, one portion was plenty for two to share, and a Biscoff cheesecake for pudding. We both had clean plates and were really impressed. The pub was busy and had a lovely atmosphere.. Landlady Amy and her barmaid Hannah were really friendly and provided fantastic service. Would definitely go back!

This Ancient Boro The best roast and tapas we’ve had for YEARS!! We were lucky enough to be treated to a delicious Sunday lunch by Sarah, the owner of the pub, while we’re taking care of Raffles and Florence for her & Mark. OMG WHAT A TREAT!!! It was really like being in Spain ☀️ Our neighbours at the table next to us were laughing because we just couldn’t stop saying how good it all was 😅 As a bonus, the whole staff was brilliant: attentive, helpful, kind. HIGHLY recommended. If you’re local to Tenderden: book your table now! If you’re coming from further afield: it’s 100% worth the drive!

This is an excellent little pub. The beers are well kept with a good selection that changes regularly and can be sampled as a tray of thirds. The same for ciders although I haven't tried those yet. The staff are very welcoming. As for the tapas...wow! We're gradually working our way through the menu and have not been disappointed once. Excellent real ales and authentic tapas, what more could you want.

Just could not wait to savour their lovely food this this not so insta ready pics 🤣🤣🤣 We LOVE the food at This Ancient Boro and they never disappoint! So far our favourites are the salt & pepper squid, bavette steak in yummy sauce, garlic gambas, garlic mushrooms, pardon peppers, créma catalans, lemon tart, sticky toffee pudding & more. Sarah’s team is super nice with a special thank you to Freya & Rosie last Sunday. Oh, and they’re 100% dog friendly too 😊 Highly & wholeheartedly recommended!!!

Wow! What a little ray of Spanish sunshine in the middle of Kent. The food and service is absolutely perfect, I highly recommend the Gambas pil pil. The biggest and juiciest prawns I’ve ever eaten. All that was missing was the Mediterranean Sea. Thank you Ancient Boro.

Lazix café

Review: This café in Canterbury is clearly a local favorite, and it’s easy to see why! We visited during the early lunch hour, and it was buzzing with people, but there were plenty of tables available, including a cozy outdoor area with a covering. The service was excellent despite the busy atmosphere, and we had the best chai we’ve ever tasted—rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. Although we didn’t get a chance to try the food, the dishes we saw being served looked absolutely delicious. Definitely worth a visit for a great drink and lively ambiance!

Cute little cafe hidden away in the Hubbub of Canterbury. There are always seats available. The coffee is very nice (I have it black, so it matters to me). The service is always friendly. This is our go-to place now.

Lazix has quickly become my favourite place to visit in Canterbury for a cake and a catch up with friends. For five visits I've had quick, friendly service every single time. The menu has a great range of choices, although the chocolate orange cake is so addictively gorgeous that I tend to get that most of the time. It tastes like jaffa cakes turned into a tiered cake and is amazing! The outside seating upstairs on the terrace is also lovely in sunny weather. Highly recommend!

Lazix Café is a hidden gem! I thoroughly enjoyed their Benedict egg ham and delicious bagel, both bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The cafe boasts a great vibe and charming interior decoration, creating a cozy atmosphere perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. Their coffee is also noteworthy—smooth, rich, and expertly brewed, it complements the tasty food offerings wonderfully. The staff at Lazix Café are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or a casual coffee break, Lazix Café delivers on quality and ambiance. For a delightful culinary experience with great food, coffee, and ambiance, Lazix Café is definitely worth a visit. Five stars well-deserved!

Lovely cafe in the heart of Canterbury. The space inside is not a lot but there is a large covered terrace where it’s very pleasant to enjoy a meal or a drink. The food we ordered was nice, but the waiting time was quite long I would say (half an hour for some eggs). Nice cakes and teas too. I would stop again in a less busy day. Dog friendly.

Historic building with a story. Very quaint and welcoming. Service was attentive and friendly. We had a deluxe afternoon tea for 2 which was delicious. A great selection of teas and the sandwiches were very filling. In fact the whole afternoon tea was too filling so we took the cake selection home with us. Definitely would visit again.

Pretty little pub where we ordered a full English bfast and eggs, both of which were tasty. The place was cozy and old-fashioned. One star removed because the small eats ‘available all day’ we were informed brusquely was not available before 11:30! They need to rewrite some of their stuff. Like the description of rich hot chocolate. We got a pale liquid that looked more watery milk than chocolate. When we asked if there could be more chocolate in it they said, nope only one powder sachet per mug, but we could have more milk if we wanted! 😂

We booked the Function Room for a birthday party/surprise reception. Everything was really easy, from chatting with Bev and explaining it was also a surprise, to booking the buffet, having our cake delivered and secretly stored. On the day Hannah and Henry were very helpful. The buffet was delicious, with some dietary requirements easily met with no hassle. We have used the White Lion before, and won't hesitate to do so again. Thanks Team.

A convenient place to stay when visiting Chapel down winery. The rooms were ok, bed was comfortable and clean but the bathroom was quite tired. The breakfast was decent for the price. Service was quite slow when waiting to check out. Overall would recommend it for just a 1 night stay if visiting a local winery.

What a fantastic birthday celebration we had in the function room at the White Lion,Tenterden. The room is lovely and was perfect for our dinner celebration for 28 of us. The service from Hannah,Henry and team was the best, nothing was too much trouble. We opted for a fish n chip supper which was delicious and all 28 dishes came out hot. The room charge is really quite small so well worth considering for any celebration. We all said we would definitely book again.

This is an update: The meal we just had was beautiful, Staff polite courteous and informed . A real pleasure to eat here! Be prepared for large portions , I didn't. The nacho starter was as good as a main meal and really tasty. I had the bourbon ribs and couldn't even start the second one. Staff were quick, pleasant and attentive . The place was really busy and had a quick turnaround of tables. We weren't rushed in any way but do recommend booking especially at weekends. RECOMMEND.

The Hoof & Hook is Situated in the heart of the historic town of Tenterden in the middle of the High Street in the building that was formerly Café Rouge. It has had a complete makeover, not just in its appearance but also the menu. The food is absolutely excellent, very high quality and beautifully presented. I had a "Hoof Classic" burger with fries and it was was delicious, cooked to perfection and the portion size was spot on. Probably one of the best burgers I have had in years, it consisted of two beef patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles, cheese and bacon all served in a really nice bun (sorry I missed the photo). My mother had the King Prawns (pictures attached), she said that they were probably the best King Prawns she had ever had. The service was outstanding and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the Hoof & Hook. 10 out of 10 guys and keep up the excellent work, looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hoof and Hook in Tenterden, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. We started with the Kentish Mini Tacos, and they were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start to the meal. The blend of local ingredients really shone through in every bite. For the main, I ordered the Hoof Burger with fries, and it was perfection on a plate. The burger was juicy, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection, while the fries were crispy and golden, just the way I like them. We also had the Asian Ribs , which were a delightful surprise—tender, packed with a rich, savoury glaze, and bursting with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavours. The combination of incredible food and warm, attentive service made our visit unforgettable. Hoof and Hook is definitely a must-visit if you’re in Tenterden! We will most certainly be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Me and my parents came and had the most wonderful meal. Kate served us who was the shining star from everyone else and gave us so much help with my mums bad hip. I had the tomato salad to start, trout and then lemon merengue. The trout was cooked to perfection and the ricotta on the starter was super creamy. Definitely recommend the fish dishes 🐟 Georgy x

Each dishes are well decorated. Asparagus was fresh and the Lamb Rump was tender. I felt varieties of Chapel Down sparkling wine selections were limited. I would like to try Three Graces etc without ordering a bottle. Rating 4-star for food given that it’s a £45 for three courses.

We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Swan after a wine tasting and tour at Chapel Down. An inviting menu did not disappoint with starters of asparagus, morels and truffled egg yolk, tiger prawn and kimchee toast and tomato with cashew ricotta and raspberry. All beautifully executed and utterly delicious. Mains of ribeye of beef and pork loin with apple butter were equally impressive and accompanied by an exquisite array of fresh vegetables. Yuzu and orange tart followed and it was all washed down with a lovely crisp white by Chapel Down. Service was friendly, skilled and well judged and it all made for a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. I would highly recommend The Swan whether you’re wine tasting beforehand or not!
