Grove Ferry Picnic Site — Attraction in Canterbury

A Family of 5 Adults and 5 Children visited the Grove Ferry Pub Inn for an Easter Hunt for the children. I have to say it was appauling £4.50 each child which lasted about 10 to 15 minutes and the children just had to find matching pictures to get a freezer burnt ice lolly at the end of it. Not even easter related with a small egg just a run around the garden and wrotten ice lolly. I have to say it was a pretty poor show and rip off and poorly organised. We then proceeded to the play area by the picnic area of Grove Ferry which was much more exciting for the children it was a nice play area but a shame to have to visit it you have to pay and display with car so an overall rating of visiting Grove Ferry was not great and we certainly won't be visiting again in the future. The highlight of the visit was a man in a van who kindly stopped on our way out and gave us a large bag of chocolate eggs 🥚 for all the children to share this was such a kind gesture and made the visit worth while and we had 5 happy children....Thank you so much whoever you were you made their Easter 🐣 Monday a very happy one at the end of...

This one star review is not directed at the actual picnic site but more Euro Car Parks. My wife sought refuge here after hitting a pot hole, resulting in a flat.

We were only there for around 40 mins purely for changing a tyre. We later received a parking fine for said event, we appealed and lost. This was still considered "using the facilities". Yes, ok we did but not to Use the facilities, this was for safety. Moral is, BE CAREFUL when entering this car park as it's ANPR. If you break down or need to change a tyre remember to pay or risk your life on the country roads, they...

Very nice place, accessibility caters for most. Can get quite busy tho. River walks are nice and you can book to go on boat up the river. Not too expensive but check first. Road getting to grove ferry very winding and narrow in some places, be careful as moats are on both sides in a lot of places. Great place for day out with the family. There are free public toilets there. Beware that toilets can get a bit smelly later in the day in hot weather! parking is one off payment for all day, cash and card accepted. The pub is lovely and friendly if you fancy a cool refreshing drink after a nice long walk. Balcony overlooks the river so...
