Phoebes Canterbury — Restaurant in Canterbury

My mum and I had the most wonderful lunch today at Phoebe’s Sandwich Shop and Café, and we’re still talking about how amazing it was! From the moment we booked, the service was incredible, so much thought went into preparing our table. We even arrived early, but were warmly welcomed and made to feel completely cared for.

We went for the afternoon tea for two, and it was honestly perfect. Unlimited tea, four generously filled chunky sandwich quarters each, a couple of big slices of three different types of homemade cakes each, an utterly moreish sausage roll each, and a scone each with clotted cream and jam. The sandwiches were stuffed to the brim with quality ingredients, the cakes were divine, and everything was clearly made with love and care - the sort of spread you imagine when you picture the perfect homemade afternoon tea.

The owner is such a lovely lady, we had a great chat, and she made us feel right at home. The cafe itself is spotless, welcoming, and a great place to sit and chat for hours over a cuppa. The crockery for the afternoon tea was charming and made the whole experience feel extra special.

Prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. We couldn’t even finish it all, so they happily provided a box for us to take the rest home.

I’ve worked at CCCU for years and walked past Phoebe’s countless times, and I’m so glad we finally came in. We’ll definitely be back very soon, highly...

14/04/21- My 7 year old daughter was so happy with yesterday’s visit, she insisted we came back again today. The food and service is excellent again and the space is Covid secure with a lovely sun trap court yard. Lots of space and social distance with a warm welcoming atmosphere.

Highly recommended, well...

My Wife and I had been going into Phoebes for quite some time, always enjoying the lovely lunch selection, afternoon tea and amazing cakes on offer. We loved it all so much we asked the wonderful owner (Lesley) if she could make our cakes for our wedding. She was more than happy to accept and provided us with the most wonderful wedding cake and cupcakes, they really stole the show on the big day. Lesley made the whole process really easy on us and was happy to work with whatever we wanted, we even got to do a little cake tasting! We are so grateful for everything Lesley has done for us and our big day, and we will always be happy customers returning back to Phoebes for more sandwiches and...
