    Great atmosphere. Food better than average however didn't have our favourite chicken wing starter and my wife's burger wasn't overall hot. Great service and overall good value for money. Superb view of Canterbury cathedral as a bonus.

    Our waitress was lovely and delivered outstanding customer service. This is the second time we have done the festive afternoon tea and it’s has been an outstanding experience every time and I would recommend it to anyone. Only quibble is a for couple of the finger sandwiches the bread was hard but everything else was delicious.

    Had a wonderful time at The Ivy Canterbury. We arrived early but were seated immediately. The restaurant was busy but not too noisy and the decor and ambience was excellent. Our waitress Millie, was very friendly and quick to attend to our needs. Food and drinks were bought to us in a timely manner and the food was excellent (the Ivy Snowman quite something although I'd recommend to share). Despite the place being busy and a clear demand for tables, at no point did we feel rushed and after we finished our meal and settled the bill, we moved to the bar to have a few more drinks at our leisure where once again the mixologists were chatty and friendly and able to make a multitude of cocktails of our choosing without having to check how to make them. The food and drink were on the pricier side but you get what you pay for and the bill was not unreasonable for what we received. As a Canterbury resident, I think I have a new favourite restaurant/bar.
