One Call Electric installed Sockets in my shed (Man Cave) The work carried out was excellent, the armoured cable from the house to shed was installed along the bottom of the garden fence and barely visible. The sockets in the shed were installed exactly where I asked and the trim round the door was laid brilliantly. Super happy with everything they did. Would totally recommend this company.
Rating: 5 / 5
A job completed absolutely on time and to order, with all points of it very professionally as well as punctually performed. We were struck by the care taken in the scoping out and, thanks to the clear explanations (and documentation) that we received, would have full confidence in the after-sales service which is available if needed. P.S. Six months after those sentences were posted, a second very satisfying recourse to this company enables us to reaffirm every word. The latest job, like the first one, was thoroughly scoped out and very tidily finished. It was an excellent service all the way from initial reconnaissance to installation, with valuable advice at either end of the process about what might best go where.

I had the best breakfast here since the beginning of my stay in the UK. I rate the whole experience very good. The service was nice and helpful. We didn't wait long after placing the order. The dishes were wonderful - fresh, tasty, pleasing to the eye and palate. Compliments to the chef. Delicious coffee. I will definitely come back here, even though the queue in front of the entrance is not getting shorter 😄 It's really worth it!

Incredible food, lovely staff an overall really comfortable dining experience. Highly recommend for a quick breakfast, brunch or lunch. My companions had their meals prior, but the staff were happy to offer just the sides and a drink without any fuss. Perfectly situated along the way to Canterbury cathedral and surrounding areas.
Rating: 5 / 5
My friend and I came to this place for a quick lunch. We both ordered a bacon and chicken toast and it tastes really good - probably some of the best toasts I’ve ever had in the UK. The breads are perfectly toasted and delicious - definitely a hidden gem. The price is quite reasonable too.
Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely adore this place! Me and my partner were so happy we found this during our trip and had become a firm favourite! Will definitely be back next time we’re in the area! Food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is lovely with the roaring fire on a cold November morning. The best eggs we’ve had in the UK, and my other half says the French toast with the honeycomb butter is to die for!

Marc and his team are great. Pleasant and easy to deal with. Got the work done to a really high standard and went the extra mile at every opportunity. Also, very straightforward and reasonable on pricing.
Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely the best electricians I’ve ever worked with. Marc and his team at Munday and Sons are professional, reliable and consistently deliver top-quality work. I've been using their services for over three years and they've never let me down. They’re always on time, offer fair and transparent quotes and go above and beyond to explain every step of the process. Their commitment to quality and clear communication makes them a standout team. Highly recommended for anyone looking for dependable and skilled electricians. If I could give them more than 5* I would!
Rating: 5 / 5
Best value for money of all the quotes I got. Were flexible around my availability. Came in and got the job done quickly and efficiently, were polite and courteous the whole time. Would definitely use again!
Rating: 5 / 5
I contacted Marc, and explained what needed to be done. He gave me a firm price and told me when he was coming to do the work. He arrived on time, looked at the work and explained what he was going to do. Everything was done in a friendly, professional manner, and left clean and tidy, the price for work was excellent too. I would have no hesitation in using this company again, or, recommending them to anyone 5 star service, thanks Marc.
Rating: 5 / 5
Very responsive, courteous business. Each time I have called on them for routine jobs they have attended within a matter of days. Prices are also very fair. Great team of grafters, clearly very skilled. Wouldn't hesitate to call on them for all our electrical needs.

Jackson Electrical did a great job for us again. I have had the pleasure of using their services for over 5 years now and highly recommend them. The arrangements are easy, and the work is excellent every time, can't thank James and the team enough. Best wishes, Nayomi Taylor - Canterbury

Jackson Electrical Services Ltd did a fantastic job of fixing a faulty cable in a difficult to access area of our kitchen, which was causing our circuit to trip. The whole process was so easy, with communication from James brilliant from the outset. He managed to squeeze us in during a very busy week and we couldn’t be more delighted with the thorough service, competitive prices and huge wealth of knowledge. If you’re looking for an honest, local and reputable business, then look no further!

We had a problem with lighting in our downstairs bathroom with the existing fitting tripping the consumer unit. Contacted Jackson Electricals and James was on the case immediately, arriving as he said he would at 9.00am the following morning. I cannot praise his work, attention to detail and prompt response too highly. James is the best electrician I’ve known since buying my first property in 1988. Thanks for a very good job well done at a very reasonable price. Superb service all round. Thanks James

Arby's Café

Rating: 5 (22) Price Level:
Arby's Café is worth a visit. It's run by the same people as Brook Farm Glamping next door, and they are lovely and helpful. The café is right next to Blean Woods so is ideal to visit as part of a dog walk. The brookie is recommended, as is the nutella crepe. A lovely stop off.
Rating: 5 / 5
Arby’s is a really lovely friendly cafe. Great coffee, cakes and yummy bacon baps. My dog loves it as well.
Rating: 5 / 5
A warm, friendly welcome awaits you at Arby’s. A great menu of delicious cakes, bacon rolls, crepes and toasties. Excellent coffee that’s perfect to take on a woodland walk or as a treat at the end! Arby’s is a brilliant family (and dog) friendly cafe that we highly recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
It's a great location, tucked away in the Blean woods, for a bite to eat on your walk or bike ride! We enjoyed the bacon butties, very high quality and reasonably priced 😊

We’re not from the area and wanted somewhere to stop for a quick bite after visiting Blean Nature Reserve. And what a hidden little gem this pub was! The staff were very accommodating and friendly, especially as we hadn’t booked. We ended up all getting a Sunday roast with dessert, and I think it’s the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had! We even had atmospheric piano music playing while we ate. They are super dog friendly, which was a massive bonus for us. The dogs even got their own pigs in blankets. I'm vegetarian and normally hate the veggie roast options, but the vegan wellington was out of this world! I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Come out with The Mini Red Arrows Stunt Team for our monthly meet up and booked the steak night which is the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month and it was amazing. Shared the Tomahawk with one of the team, had the dough balls and 2 desserts and my god it was fantastic. The chimmichurri sauce was to die for, we will be back and with the Seastay team next time 💙
Rating: 5 / 5
Superb restaurant! I really loved it, the food was delicious and the prices really affordable! The quality of service was top-notch, and I'd recommend it to anyone (even with the language barrier, everything went really well). The welcome was really incredible! We'll be back if we get the chance before we leave.

Fantastic meal! One of the best roast dinners I’ve had in years and completely delicious. The staff were so friendly and very accommodating of our muddy dog. The excellent price and live piano was the icing on the cake! Thoroughly recommend.

Firstly, the owners are so lovely! We stopped by for lunch and were so well looked after and kind of felt like we had just popped round to a friend’s house! The food/atmosphere was excellent and versatile - the homemade pizza bread on the sandwich was incredible. You can tell it’s a family run establishment with passion and good quality control for what is on offer. A new local spot for us and highly recommend!

Been a few times and always been really happy with the service, the food and the drinks! I particularly enjoyed the avo-cuddle and the vegan sausage roll. I will certainly be back!

Very friendly spot for a snack before touring Canterbury. To this American tourist it felt very welcoming and part of a local neighborhood instead of a too-busy, in-and-out, grab-and-go place you might find in town. Besides, we discovered Mr. Blobby!
