Canterbury is brimming with history and charm, but sometimes a hungry tourist needs a good breakfast to fuel their adventures. That's where the Beano Cafe swoops in, saving the day with a breakfast spread that's as mighty as Dennis the Menace' scraper bike.
My inner child did a little jig when I saw the name, and the menu did not disappoint. I opted for the classic English brekkie, and let me tell you, it was a full-on feast for a champion.
The sausage were juicy and plump, they burst with flavour in every bite. The egg was cooked as expected, their golden yolks begging to be mopped up with the accompanying toast. The bacon added a salty touch, while the baked beans offered a welcome touch of sweetness.
But the real surprise was the fried bread. Golden and fluffy on the inside, it had a satisfyingly crispy exterior. It was the perfect vessel for scooping up beans, mopping up egg yolk, or simply savoring on its own. The toast, perfectly toasted and generously buttered, provided a more traditional option for those who prefer a less adventurous approach.
The Beano Cafe isn't just about the food. The entire experience is a delightful homage to the world of Beano comic books. From the quirky decor to the friendly staff who seem to have stepped straight out of the pages, it injects a playful energy into the breakfast routine.
Whether you're a Beano enthusiast or simply looking for a hearty and delicious breakfast in Canterbury, the Beano Cafe is a must-visit. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is fun, and it's the perfect way to start your day with a smile. Just be warned, this breakfast is fit for a hero, so...
Read moreI had been coming into Canterbury for years before I moved here, and the Beano cafe has always been a cafe that I’ve been aware of and it is used from time to time.
One great thing about the Beano is it’s consistency, I mean generally I have the same food , I’ve always gone in and had the veggie breakfast (that’s why I go there) and the food is always been really good quality with great quality ingredients with polite staff.
I’m not an easily please person, one thing that has always impress me about the Beano’s food is always presentable with fantastic size portions. There is a wide variety of food on offer and I can’t contest to the other food but I’ve always been very impressed with the food that I have had in there.
Great this place a try I’m pretty sure you...

This café hasn't changed much since the 1970's, when Ziggy Stardust and the Beano was competing for the attention of British school boys.
The full British breakfast with a mug of tea and toast on the side is garanteed to keep you going till Evensong.
Sadly you won't be served by Denis the Menace or Minnie Minx, expect instead to be served by staff who are welcoming,...
