The Beano Cafe
12 North Ln, Canterbury CT2 7EB, UK | Cafe P: 01227 781528
Rating: 4.5 (312) Price Level:
Canterbury is brimming with history and charm, but sometimes a hungry tourist needs a good breakfast to fuel their adventures. That's where the Beano Cafe swoops in, saving the day with a breakfast spread that's as mighty as Dennis the Menace' scraper bike. My inner child did a little jig when I saw the name, and the menu did not disappoint. I opted for the classic English brekkie, and let me tell you, it was a full-on feast for a champion. The sausage were juicy and plump, they burst with flavour in every bite. The egg was cooked as expected, their golden yolks begging to be mopped up with the accompanying toast. The bacon added a salty touch, while the baked beans offered a welcome touch of sweetness. But the real surprise was the fried bread. Golden and fluffy on the inside, it had a satisfyingly crispy exterior. It was the perfect vessel for scooping up beans, mopping up egg yolk, or simply savoring on its own. The toast, perfectly toasted and generously buttered, provided a more traditional option for those who prefer a less adventurous approach. The Beano Cafe isn't just about the food. The entire experience is a delightful homage to the world of Beano comic books. From the quirky decor to the friendly staff who seem to have stepped straight out of the pages, it injects a playful energy into the breakfast routine. Whether you're a Beano enthusiast or simply looking for a hearty and delicious breakfast in Canterbury, the Beano Cafe is a must-visit. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is fun, and it's the perfect way to start your day with a smile. Just be warned, this breakfast is fit for a hero, so come hungry!

If you are an impecunious tourist with a big appetite and an aversion to being treated as a cash cow by businesses who think of you as nothing else but a cash cow, then this is the place for you. This café hasn't changed much since the 1970's, when Ziggy Stardust and the Beano was competing for the attention of British school boys. The full British breakfast with a mug of tea and toast on the side is garanteed to keep you going till Evensong. Sadly you won't be served by Denis the Menace or Minnie Minx, expect instead to be served by staff who are welcoming, efficient and kind.

Dropped into this little gem because it was so close to our accommodation. Certainly not disappointed in any way. Staff were brilliant, service was quick and the food was really good. Would recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
my go-to for a good cooked breakfast. Never disappoints, always with great service and delicious food. Clean inside too. 5/5 I tried all the cooked breakfasts I could find in Canterbury over the last year or so, to see what’s best. Beano wins :)
Rating: 5 / 5
Good food and prices, conveniently located close to the city centre. I went to The Beano Cafe for a late morning breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, two slices of toast, a portion of chips and a can of fizzy pop. The cost was only £7.00. The chips were particularly nice, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I would recommend this cafe. If you found this review helpful, please click on the heart icon, thanks.

Rating: 4.3 (1678) Price Level:
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!!

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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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! :)

Burgate Coffee House

Rating: 4.2 (277) Price Level:
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.

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!

Nicely situated in the heart of Canterbury. Seating inside and out ( under cover) We had a very pleasant cup of Egyptian mint tea at a very affordable price. And the staff member was extremely efficient and pleasant.

The comedy night at the Stag was a great evening out! Decent drinks and a great bit of entertainment from the stand ups. Definitely recommend a visit for a chilled time and a good laugh.
Rating: 4 / 5
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

Nice location, and there are many options for cocktails 🍹. I loved the Halloween 🎃 decorations. They had 1+1 cocktails offer going on. Loved it. However taste of the food could've been a bit better. Didn't feel fresh.

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!

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.

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!)

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.

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

Great independently run coffee shop in the heart of Canterbury. Everything is home made and delicious. Staff and friendly, helpful and will give advice about visiting the city. They are a card only business but offer both sit down and take away options

Really lovely place! A friend of mine recommended the place to me and I checked it out! Great coffee, I had a white mocha with hazelnut syrup and oat milk (amazingly made, and tasted great), and I had this really tasty granola bowl with yogurt, oats, strawberries, raspberries and some other tasty fruit (10/10 mix, I asked for some cinnamon and maple syrup to add and it was exceptional to me). Really cool vibe to the place, and was really impressed by the miniature train set they have towards the back. Shout out to rachel for her kind service and the male staff with glasses (he actually built the train set himself! Really impressive). I’ll definitely be back, highly recommend!

We arrived at the Olive Grove after a hectic day and rather stressful day. It was a Friday evening, we hadn't booked but fortunately the lady who greeted us made us feel instantly at ease. The decor is superb and the staff were great, the food we ate was delicious. Will definitely visit again next time in town. Thank you very much guys!

Yeah, it's pretty good. Well priced food, good atmosphere and overall a decent place to study or eat. Wish they put the piano out more often though.
Rating: 5 / 5
Good amount of food for only £3 you get a main and a side. Add a salad bowl for an extra quid. The quantity is great, the taste is great too. Food is fresh and hot. There are sachets for S&P if needed, and sauce bottles if you want them. Lots of space in the hall but does get busy during peak times. Chicken is Halal.
Rating: 5 / 5
I've been there yesterday for the very first time. The ambience is amazing - you have a plenty of sitting space. Quality of the food is decent enough. I'd rate 4/5. I've tried their Katsu Chicken with rice and gravy. Note: if you are looking for something spicy you might be disappointed. Overall a great experience I'd say.

I was a little bit hesitant going here as per the Google reviews but I'm pleased we gave it a chance. We chose the three courses and enjoyed some really nice food served by very attentive and friendly staff (Claudio was especially good). I had the asparagus, hake, and banana dishes and found all enjoyable with some nice touches (the hake, for example, was cooked beautifully with accompaniments full of flavour). We did notice that the restaurant was quiet at a peak period and wondered whether the online feedback had played a part in that - a real pity given that the staff clearly cared about the experience and wanted to see people walk away happy. We look forward to visiting again in the future 😊

Rating: 4 / 5
Here for a Sunday brunch with reservation. Though it seems to have occasional walk in seats. Greeted by friendly staff that checked on us several times during our meal. They also reminded us that food are made to order so it takes time, turns out all our dishes arrived within half an hour which I think is reasonable. Ordered anchovy pate as a starter which offered generous portion of pate for a really small but toasted perfectly bread. Smoked mackerel was decent but not excellent. The place is in a small food market which adds to the vibe.
