"I visited this evening with my 2 children 8 and 12 and my mum. Normally I wouldn't review, but because had excellent food and service, it would be rude not to express my gratitude for your efforts this evening. I was pleasantly surprised at the turn around of it all, especially with how busy the restaurant was. There were many members of staff on and they were all very attentive. Our food and drinks order was taken promptly. I was expecting to have to wait for our food longer than we did, so we were all pleasantly surprised when our order appeared. The quality of the food far surpasses that of other restaurants I'd consider in the same calibre. I had the calamari to start, followed by the delicious vegan buddha bowl, and a few sneaky spoonfuls of my daughters honeycomb cheese cake, and a litre of bottled water with my meal [Although they were out of the grains the buddha bowl comes with, I was offered a choice of an extra ingredient as a replacement I opted for toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds I was blown away by the variety of food in the dish: rocket, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, beetroot, toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds and humous. My 8 years old had the 3 kids courses and drink, he was very happy and didn't leave a crumb possibly because I forgot to feed him lunch... : dough balls with cucumber and tomatoes, Margarita pizza, rainbow ice lolly, with a carton of oj My 12 year old had dough balls to start and a sloppy guiseppe pizza ?I think this was the name? and the honey comb cheese cake slice, and 2 raspberry lemonades Granny shared my Calamari starter cooked to perfection, and she enjoyed her pasta carbonara. She finished her meal with some little figs, ice cream and a cappuccino. She had a couple of glasses of wine with her meal The atmosphere was lovely, the chairs were cushioned and comfy, and my son and his granny were entertained by watching the boats going past the window. Our waitress was Amy. She was polite, attentive and accommodating."

Great option if you’re the only vegan amongst a group of you and don’t know where to go.

Very disappointed, very average pizza for the price, could have bought better at a super market, and enjoyed it more, an experience, and wouldn't go again View menu

Located in Canterbury Center, has a lot of vegan pizzas as well as sides! Not that expensive for the quality of pizza received! Ask for the vegan menu when dining in! Updated from previous review on 2023-12-28

3 stars because of the price, for a chain its easily 20% more than it should be. The food is good but pricey, considering you have authentic Italian restaurants in the area and pizza places of the same standard but cheaper.

Canterbury is very big on it; the place, the people, and also this place that welcomed us with joy and friendliness. The pizza is good, excellent ice cream, free children's menu. Congratulations to all the staff. Highly recommended! View menu

This is a lovely little restaurant tucked down a lovely side street in Canterbury. They have a separate vegan menu with loads of options. The pizza is really good and the service was excellent. They also have a great loyalty club that gets you free pizzas, sides and more!

Took the family for lunch, it was busy, the service though was good, but the pizza was just plain awful, you’d think a basic pizza with ham would be easy to deal with, it was like eating cold cardboard, no taste, no mozzarella at all, to top it off we had to use blunt cutlery, I mean blunt, no pizza cutter offered, took longer to cut it than eat it, tasted like a supermarket pizza, three drinks, three pizza and a garlic bread over 60 pounds!

"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."
