Thomas Becket — Restaurant in Canterbury

Great food, great menu choice, great friendly atomospher cosy I love the little touches little lights on the ceiling the food was delicious my honest review as always, this is most probably the best beef burger (double beef burger) I have ever ate the flavour in it the sauces the roll was so good, not forgetting the chips, the chips had so much flavour, my mum had the chicken burger and I tried a very tiny piece of it yummy again the garlic sauce she had was delicious my partner he had the sausage, mash and peas with Yorkshire pudding and gravy again 10/10 I also tried I small bit of the mash and gravy the mash Mmm lovely nice and buttery no lumps at all creamy 😊 compliments to chef 👏🏻 would of like to of tried the deserts as sounded amazing but was very full up. If I come to Canterbury again which I will, I will make sure to pop in maybe next time I should bring my jack russell I'm sure she would love it too. this is a dog friendly pub and even has a doggy menu fab idea. They have a cute dog his name is rocco if I'm not mistaken he was lovely well behaved and was happy to pose for a photo with us the ladies toilets was spotless and also what I found a wonderful and thoughtful idea was,inside the toilet in a little drawers they do supply some ladies items if in need in a emergency I thought that was a very thoughtful and great idea. Toilets are not upstairs which is good no stairs to climb after a full stomach haha.... There is a smoking area outside nice seating Highly recommend eating here or popping in for a drink as you won't be disappointed great food, great staff/owners great vibe thank you for a great delicious meal and not forgetting your friendly service felt very cosy and relaxed. The photos I had already started to eat and my partner had too so the photos are not great

my only wish is that I wish I lived closer to pop in more but we are at Norfolk quiet a stretch away. Untill the Next time take care and massive...

We booked a table for seven to celebrate a birthday and unfortunately had a very poor experience. One of the reasons we chose the venue was the children's menu, but we were told there was not one, despite it being clearly shown on the website.

We were seated directly in front of a very large TV, which was initially fine until the volume was turned up to the highest setting because the rugby was starting. We understand why a pub would be showing the rugby, but we now could not hear each other at the table and it was scaring the toddler. The bar staff were very helpful at this point and did turn it down. Again, totally understand why they would have the rugby on full volume, but they could have warned us when we booked that we would be seated next to the TV as we would have gone elsewhere.

The starters arrived after almost an hour and they were very good, no complaints. The main meals arrived after another hour and were absolutely awful. Mistakes were made on 4 out of 7 of the dishes, and the chicken had clearly been under a heat lamp for a long time, the sauce had hardened and the meat was incredibly dry.

The poor waitress looked embarrassed when she had to approach the table as she knew we would not be happy. Have given a couple of stars as the bar staff did their best to sort the situation and did provide a refund on 4 of the meals.

To summarize, dreadful food, very...

My husband and I arrived at about 5:30pm and asked if they were serving meals - we were told yes, but there would be about 30 minute wait as a large party had just ordered ….. there was a table of 6 and a table of 4!! We ordered quickly and sat at a table. There was clearly a disagreement going on regarding billing of the nearby table of 4, and the two members of staff were not discrete in their “opinions” of this when discussing this at the bar, within our earshot. We waited for over an hour and in that time, only 1 table’s meals were produced. (The table of 4) We continued waiting - no other customers ordered and in fact, a couple of groups came and went in that time without ordering. After over an hour, we finally mentioned this to one of the staff who just said “yeh, we’re busy, sorry” - literally only 12 people there!! We asked for a refund and this was not challenged in anyway - not even to say “it’s almost done” so clearly our meals had not been started to be prepared. We were quickly given our refund and no apology! Hugely disappointed as we wanted to support local business on our visit to what was a beautiful city. Went a short walk up the street to Prezzo and we were served within 10 minutes of arriving! The best reception was given to the dog that arrived from upstairs and with the number of photos and references to dog visitors and treats, it is clear who...
