Me and my friends stopped by this lovely restaurant for lunch and it was absolutely amazing. The guy who served was so polite and the environment was so friendly. Cute interior giving out retro vibes.The food was in hearty portions and the cappuccino was out of my expectation! The froth was perfect and airy with the chocolate powder dusted evenly on top. I highly recommend this place if you want something simple but delicious.

If Google could do more than 5 stars this place would get it. Upon arriving I got welcomed at the front door and seated. I think it’s a family run business because they take pride in everything they do. Food was wonderful Staff polite Cafe very clean There’s only two cafe’s I would take my wife too and this is one of them.

I was really impressed with cafe solo. We went there for breakfast and I really couldn't fault the food - I wanted a good fry up and that's exactly what I got. The milkshake here is also some of the best I've had around Canterbury, actually made using ice cream with a dollop of cream on top. The only reason I haven't put 5 stars for the food is because it didn't wow me like my other 5 star reviews, but it was still very decent. The staff were super friendly but gave us the space we wanted to eat together, the space was clean, and we were even surprised with complimentary Turkish delight. Overall, would recommend. They have a small carpark, but there are supermarkets nearby.

Cannot thank The Latte Lounge enough for the buffet they prepared and laid out for a birthday at my home. It was all just so tasty and delicious - it was all eaten over 3 days by us all!! Highly recommend Sharon and her team who created all these delights for us. Thank you all, see you in 2022

We found this cafe by chance as the cafe we normally stop at on route home was closed. We were greeted on arrival by Jo. I am gluten free and was delighted when Jo told me I could get a gluten free breakfast. My friends had the breakfast bagel while I tucked into sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, mushroom and tomato with gluten free toast and real butter. My friends reported that the bagels were delicious. The cafe was an unexpected gem . It has a lovely atmosphere and Jo the waitress is so friendly. Ceci the owner/chef is also lovely.

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.

Staying in the hotel next door so ate here food was delicious excellent service

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

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!

Just wanted to share my experience of this wonderful venue, I have been coming here for around 14 years, and its always been a favourite of mine, from their delicious sandwiches and cakes to their super coffee and excellent table service, It does get very busy in the summer times, and is popular with dog owners and walkers as well as young mums and their children, often on the way home from school. Yesterday I was in need of a light lunch and so took a friend out for a drive in the country and came here, to avoid the city as on an overcast and pretty windy day, the city is not the best place to be. I chose a 'Very Berry ice-cream Milkshake' and a BLT, I know from having breakfast there in the past their tomatoes are super sweet and really juicy, and their bread is fresh and wholesome too. My friend had a health salad bowl and a glass of tap water. As always the staff were helpful and super friendly chatting to everyone that came in and showing them to a table. I cam in at 12:30 expecting it to be rammed but there were a few tables free and we were quickly seated. £15 for two of us was very reasonable considering we had a salad and a drink. There were a number of happy looking babes in arms and young mum's out with their parents, so it made a convivial atmosphere, and when we left the Sun finally made an appearance. I keep going back as the food is brilliant, the staff and great and the atmosphere is always friendly. See you there soon.

Lovely relaxed cafe with outdoor seating too to enjoy the sunny weather. Menu has lots of choice for all dietary requirements and dogs very welcome. Food and drinks always excellent and very generous portion sizes. The only downside is having to decide which ONE of the fabulous cakes to have! 😄 There are always so many great options to choose from.

Such a lovely place. First time I'd been and definitely want to go again. Lovely set up.

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!

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.

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!

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 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.

Lovely meal this evening at the Hoof and hook! Great service, lovely food! Cocktails were very good! Have to park on the High Street as no parking at the restaurant.. quite pricey, but was a lovely treat!

Rating: 5 / 5

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.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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

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!

Had previously visited Chapel Down for a vineyard tour and wine tasting and had wanted to visit the restaurant for a while. Dinner menu is decent, lots of choices. Pork belly option was very good. Went on a Saturday night and it was fairly busy and good atmosphere.

The food here is absolutely superb! I could not fault one thing on my plate. What could have been an average chicken was elevated above expectations. My husbands lamb was another level of excellence and the chocolate desert took us to heaven. I would like to mention the bar girl who assured us the food was good and was really attentive and super friendly 👌🙌😁

We stayed at The Woolpack for one night - yesterday (Wednesday 13 November). Despite the building work next door (nothing to do with The Woolpack) we found the pub/hotel wonderful. A beautiful historical building with excellent staff. (The pumbing was interesting - it added charm). The room was lovely and the staff superb. The food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast. A special mention for the Manager, Garry (we belive that's the correct spelling) who was a master of all trades and an excellent host. We have reason to visit the area again and will do our best to book The Woolpack again. Thank you the Woolpack.

Well done Gary & team. Lovely quirky old building with modern fixtures & fittings. Fabulous dinner menu, the fish & chips are delicious, a ‘must have’ for every guest. Comfortable room and amenities. We’ll definitely be back.

We had the best Sunday lunch we’ve ever had at the Woolpack . The pub is gorgeous, staff are lovely - funny and professional - my partner had the roast beef and I didn’t get a word out of him for the whole meal as he was enjoying it so much. I don’t eat meat and have suffered at the hands of dubious nut roasts across the entire county of Kent, but not at the Woolpack! Amazing nut roast - crispy and delicious. The vegetables were also stars in their own right - nothing heated up in a microwave etc. . . And the Yorkshire pudding was superb . . Love Love Love this Sunday roast, and would literally crawl on hands and knees from North Kent to go again . . ❤️

We had a really lovely family meal (in. Dog) we accidentally booked for happy hour and enjoyed a few cocktails with our meal. Food was delicious and the service was super friendly! The pub is beautifully decorated too. Only downside was, I could have eaten more! But really recommend.
