The Royal - Canterbury

A huge disappointmen. One can excuse the lack of customer generated atmosphere in the winter but this place had nothing to want me to come back. You cannot run a tab or leave your card behind the bar so it was pay as you go. Lunch was cold, bland and not worth half of what it cost. A typical case of let 's open the doors and see who wants to come in . It won 't be me which is a pity because when I last visited 10 years or so ago it was warm and vibrant.

Visited here for a family lunch, which included a wheelchair user. Booked a day in advance by phone (as the website didn't offer lunchtime bookings) and wanted to make sure we had a table which could accommodate the wheelchair. Pub was clean, no sticky tables/ carpets, waitress was very attentive and treated all around the table as equals. Ordered different things off the menu all of which was lovely and all eaten. Thank you.

An absolutely shocking place, rude staff, cold food, served on unwashed tables. The dirtiest restaurant I’ve ever been in. Walked out in disgust leaving our meals on the table (now I know why they take your money in advance)

A popular pub above the beach, providing great views of the sunset, weather permitting. Beer : Masterbrew on good form. Food : Hake with patatas bravas and ham, egg chips were both very good not overpriced. Service good (both bar and table). No downsides to our visit, so pleased to recommend.

We dropped in for a drink and after seeing the food we decided to stay for lunch. We opted for fish and was not disappointed. Great food, friendly staff and excellent service
