"After never visiting Canterbury before we where looking for somewhere to have a late lunch, we came across this place which looked ok, upon entering the back room we were offered to take a seat in the front area and someone will be with us. We asked what food there was and we where sarcastically shown the food on the blackboard, after choosing what we wanted the polite man went off and put the order in. We did feel that because the man had asked a couple of questions to another member of staff that he was spoke down too a bit. Anyway after placing the order and what we wanted the food came out it wasn’t correct but because it seemed like we were going to interrupt the people in the back room we just took what we had. It was nice food though. When we went to pay we hadn’t noticed that there wasn’t a price list so when we asked for the bill we were told that it was donation, what we thought was enough, it wasn’t posted anywhere and it took us by surprise as we where standing at the till, I was going to pay in cash but was told they don’t take cash so I had to give my donation in card by telling the person how much we where donating. After plucking a figure out of air as we wasn’t prepared we paid and left. Upon leaving we felt that the person we paid thought we hadn’t paid enough and wasn’t happy with the amount but after working out what we would have paid properly we worked out that we had paid more than what it might have been if there was a proper price on everything. Overall it has a great ethos and it’s great for giving people the experience that they need to be in a working environment but they need to show the price or tell customers first that it’s donations and card only."

"I did not want to write a Tripadvisor review before firstly emailing the establishment to tell them of my experience at the King and Queen in Hamble, as I wanted to give them the chance to reply etc with what may have gone wrong for us. They did not reply. We had booked for the Sunday roast and pre-ordered beforehand. My husband and I picked the tomahawk steak roast For 2 people to share. The girl placed it down on the table, after us waiting a while for it to be cooked , which was fine. There was 1 roast potato and 4 balls of stuffing (paxo type) . The girl then bought over 2 small cold side plates and I asked her to bring larger plates , she did and they were cold so I asked for them to be warm and she then came back again with warmer larger plates, which was fine. We also had to ask for roast potatoes and they came later in a bowl, not the best. We had also ordered a side of chips , they came around 20 mins later and we refused them as was by then too late. We also had to ask for our gravy to be warmed up as this was tepid. No one came to ask if the meal was ok, but it was not acceptable, far from . There was only around 20% of the meat which was edible if that. We had to spit out most into a napkin as there as too much gristle and too chewy. We were so disappointed as had been told this was a nice place for roasts and namely pre-ordering a 'special meal ' to share between two. Whoever cut the steak must have seen it was poor before it came out. My daughter also remarked later her chicken was cold but did not like to say anything as was so hungry. When the girl came to take the plates (with most of the food left) she did not ask if everything was ok which we were surprised about. We were meeting new family members for the first time and did not feel we wanted to complain but were also shocked at the lack of compassion by the staff for all the 'wrongs ' but namely the tomahawk quality, which we paid I think £68 for! Also noted there was a substantial service charge added to the bill, which we reluctantly paid but did not feel was warranted. Its hard to make a complaint, as we did not want to ruin the day with bad feeling surrounding the meal. No one asked us though how anything was, which you 'd expect when paying a lot of money. I’d have expected to hear back from the pub with an explanation and for them to offer some good will from this but have heard nothing."

"We have visited the Wheel many times before and therefore have a good idea of the experience we can expect. We recently visited with friends to catch-up and arrived circa so not late by evening dinning standards. Wine and beer was swiftly ordered and...served to the table with a smile from the waitress. of the party of went with starters, they we served quickly and very scrummy. Not too long after the mains were bought out, pasta dishes and one fish dish. Pasta dishes were all cooked to perfection however the fish dish was below par. The rissoto it was served on was dry and looked like it had been loitering in the kitchen waiting for the fish to decide to leap out of the pan or due to the size of the piece of fish the chef was having difficulty catching it in the pan. What ever the reason was it was not a pleasant, enjoyable plate of food. Conversation flowed and by now it was close to before we ordered desserts, we all had something different and to be honest the only dish that received praise was the Eatonmess, the other three dishes we not what I would expect, especially considering the price charged the Bakewell tart had obviously been heated so much the base was like concrete and the jam like sticky glue, the sticky toffee pudding certainly need more toffee flavor and the crumble lacked flavour, was very wet and left under the grill too long so was just starting to catch and burn. Not the best experience, the Chef and the management need to get back to ensuring the attention to detail is carried throughout the meal from start to finish, with all elements being served with love and care!"

"Blue Sky Cafe is a fantastic cafe based on Bangor High Street. The cafe is accessed through a signposted alleyway, which is tastefully decocorated in bright graffiti style art. The cafe has two floors with the ground floor also functioning as a taproom during the evenings and serves a variety of interesting drinks. Blue Sky also hosts events in the evening, ranging from live music to poetry nights. I went in for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I had the Buddah Bowl with a side of small Salt and Pepper Chips, both of which were incredibly delicious and generous in portion. The salad was well seasoned and fresh, and the falafel was the best I have ever had at a cafe that serves meat. I had an Iced Coffee with Oat Milk to go with my meal, which was also very good, but they do charge extra for non dairy milks. There are many vegan options on their lunch menu, and their breakfast menu also had cooked vegan options (served until 11:30), but I did not see any vegan cakes in their cakes display. The atmosphere in Blue Sky is great. The staff are welcoming, and Welsh language service is available . The upstairs floor is brightly lit up by a sky light and is full of plants and artworks for sale. The cafe also stocks many products from local vendors and has a section of drinks such as Iced Tea and Pink Lemonade made in-house. I highly recommend Blue Sky Cafe to vegans looking for freshly prepared food in a comfortable and contemporary space. Booking is highly recommended as the cafe is popular among students and locals, and information about events can be found on their social media."

"I understand that this pub was recently purchased by a new owner. that was our first time here for many years. it's probably many years before we go back. Previously, it was a great meal here, but not anymore. Cannot...quite understand the good reviews. Before we came in, we could see from the parking lot what an extremely young chef appeared in the kitchen. now I would not take off the juvenile and would not let this fact be my views scrutinized if that had been half decent, but it was not. what was to follow clearly shows that there is absolutely zero experience in the entire provision of food or services. Normally, a place with a fairly short menu is a note that what they serve, they do well. the greeting when we came in was quite wrong and that made the ton for the evening. the atmosphere in the room was not great and as our first drinks pints) were poured, some spilled over the hand of the merciful and they continued to lick it before they brought to our table one of what seemed like a year old, with all the skill and social gnade of good one year old. we ordered a burger and chips and a fish and chips. they arrived right away. rather than too timely and again from one of the child-employed with no attempt of social interaction and she also had one to spill one of the pints, but nothing to get a cloth to wipe or even apologise the spill from the table. concerning the food itself, the chips were of the reheated frozen lumpy sorts and were as dry and quality sticks. the fish was tasteless, grayish meat and served on the head. the burger was barely cooked and heavy fat-coated. it looked anemic because it was obviously boiled to far too low temperature and had none of the beautiful one decent burger. it was not even decent quality meat. prices are not reflexion of the quality of food or service levels."
