"When we first walked in the staff just didn’t acknowledge us there was no table of 6 available so asked if we could move the table of 2 and table of 4 together as they were next to each other and both free. At first we was told no and then after a bit of explaining we was told we’d have to wait 15 minutes so they could clear the table. There was a tray with a few empty drinks on. 15 mins was up so we all went in and sat down the tray with drinks on was still on the table and the table hadn’t even been wiped. After all getting settled the waitress finally moved the tray and explained they was busy. We ordered drinks and food together. The drinks took 20 minutes to come. I had coke in a bottle and a glass with ice in. My ice was already half melted. Over an hour later our food came out. Burgers were dry. The Mac and cheese was the worst thing I had ever seen. It was like really stodgy porridge and did not taste of cheese at all. Any time we asked the waitress something she just made it seem like we was asking her to go above and beyond for us when really we wasn’t being difficult even in the slightest. At the end we go to pay and they add a 10% service fee without even asking. Why would I want to pay 10% of my nearly £150 bill for a poor and quite disgusting service. The only plus’s side to this place was the decorations, the mayonnaise and the fact they allowed dogs in"

I eat here whenever i go to Canterbury as its all gluten free and i have tried many dishes from the menu and all have been well presented fresh and hot even have a good selection of gluten free beers. Staff and management are all friendly and attentive and ask what allergies you may have before taking your order, for me its celiac and i can eat everything there. View menu

Coeliac heaven! Oscar Bailey’s is completely gluten free. Starters, mains, puddings, we coeliacs can safely choose anything. I had the best fish chips I can remember such light crispy batter, even to the last mouthful; perfectly cooked chips; home made tartare sauce. Delicious. Not just gluten free but tasty, beautifully prepared, carefully presented and all served with a smile.

On Wednesday lunchtime the service was slow and the food poor and inadequate. The salad with feta cheese did not have feta which we were told had run out only after long wait and only when I prompted an alternative were 3 pieces of halloumi provided with a poor salad. My partner had Kentish hash which had nothing to it apart from the optional extra of bacon. Service was added automatically to bill. We needed to go to another cafe for an adequate lunch The staff were a woman and several young girls. All seemed overwhelmed. I was surprised to read good reviews. Our experience was awful.

"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."
