Oriole Cafe — Restaurant in Canterbury

A Perfect Pitstop at The Oriole During a recent visit to the Kent Spitfire cricket ground in Canterbury, we discovered the delightful Oriole restaurant, a true gem within the stunning surroundings. We were greeted with a genuinely warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere by the lovely ladies working there, who made us feel right at home. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch that perfectly hit the spot. Our coffee was lovely, and the cheese and onion toastie was simply delicious, served with a fresh and vibrant side salad. The homemade banana bread and flapjack were also beautiful, making for a perfect sweet treat. Watching the cricket match from this spot was a truly special experience, and The Oriole's hospitality only enhanced it. We will definitely be back to enjoy the food, the atmosphere, and the exceptional service again...

Spacious seating looking out on Kent cricket green. Literally a small window cleverly left ajar keeping air circulation feeling fresh and covid safe. Loved my flat white with oat and tuna melt, served with small side salad. And where else gives you a glass of fresh water to wash it all down. If your local, be sure to get your Oriole loyalty card. Oriole is an welcome oasis...
