    This place was incredible!! From the wait staff to the food to the cleanliness to the piano player on Sunday night. Great way to spend Easter. The Shepherds pie was so fantastic! Fresh veggies, amazing apple tart. The boys loved the Fish and Chips. Phoebe was suck and attentive server, fun and positive and helped orient us to the town of Canterbury.

    We had a lovely meal and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The squid starter and sour dough was delicious. We were very surprised at the speed of service given how busy it was and our waitress was really professional but had a great sense of humour which made our experience even better.

    We had a wonderful brunch to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Fantastic food, service and a nice open space that allowed us to catch up without having to speak loudly to be heard.

    Staff were amazing, but the tables are very close together disturbing others getting in and out. Burger was a bit on the dry side which was disappointing also.
