For Canterbury I thought it was a welcoming change from typical average food. People really do not mind paying thzt little bit more for food if the service and menu and clientele are all there. I would happily come again, in fact I think my wife is booking for this weekend. Booking online very simple and reliable Enjoy 😁

As you would expect the food and service was very good but the closeness of the tables was akin to a sardine can and the noise was horrific, we couldn’t hear one another across the table. Perhaps a few less tables and more soft furnishing will lessen over crowding and especially the level of noise. We will not return until these basic problems are overcome. It’s a shame.
