"If you want something quirky then this is worth a visit, the restaurant is situated in the old parade room of the police station, complete with lockers and old police memorabilia. It was late Saturday afternoon so the place was not busy and there was only one other table taken, due to this there was a lack of atmosphere, however, I suspect at night it may fill up more. The only problem is that you cannot see how full it is in advance, as you are taken upstairs by the waitress. The old cells have been renovated into private booths on the ground floor, so if you are a small party this may suit you.We had the cod cheeks but could not taste any beer in the batter, the peas were nice but not very hot. The cocktails were lovely and service was good.One thing to note It hadn't been open that long but already the tables were beginning to show signs of staining, it may be an idea for tablecloths to be used to cover this up."

We had a fantastic Christmas meal on Saturday 7th December. Food and service was first class and a massive thank you to Dan who accommodated the extra numbers in our group. Highly recommended.

We as a group headed upstairs here after some good mental exercise in the Escape Rooms. The cocktail list (already fabulous) is apparently being further extended. I can recommend the Mai Tai, but others ordered were also very good.Food is good quality, I especially recommend the Pork Sausages Mash in gravy.

Initially found this restaurant on social media, and came to eat for dinner a few weeks ago. A small and intimate dinning environment which suited the experience and service really well. Front of House service and Food service excellent and not a long wait for anything. Food is outstanding (I had the Octopus to start, followed by the trout and laksa for main) Just wish more people knew about this place! definitely returning

I was fortunate enough to try the steak at this restaurant, and I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my companions opted for the sausage and mash, which was nothing to write home about. However, when two of us decided to share the cheeseboard at £12 each, we were sorely disappointed. It was of very poor quality. I would not recommend this restaurant, as it was quite expensive for the subpar quality of food. I will not be returning in the future.

A brand new restaurant and in such wonderful historic surroundings. So much of the character has been retained of the old gaol and police station in this popular bar which now has both restaurant and bar food on offer.The menu has something to suit all tastes and the dishes are excellently prepared from locally sourced produce. Whatever you choose will not disappoint.Book a table soon, because once word gets around, this will be the sought after place to dine in and around Canterbury.

We dined on a Saturday evening, we found the restaurant was fairly quite for a Saturday evening in Canterbury.We all had starters which were all fairly good, I had the Duck mousse with rhubarb which was too sweet for me unfortunately. The mains were all very good but very much on the small side, a few of the party would have ordered sides if we had known they would be that small. The puddings were also all very good, the service was excellent.Would definitely return but would order sides to help bulk up the mains as they were too small for most of the party.

We visited Canterbury last week, just across from our hotel is the Parade Room, where we dined last Wednesday 5th September. Dan and Lauren were on duty.what an absolute treat..dinner in the local cop shop! Brilliant, original menus, local produce, I ordered pork loin with gooseberry jam, my husband cod loin, my dessert a sort of deconstructed rum baba with bbq pineapple..oh my goodness, what a pud.To accompany our meal a proper English, Kent wine, Chapel Down Bacchus reserve white. I can thoroughly recommend this gem of a restaurant, for any occasion. I wish them every future success, they deserve to do well as a small independent.

For my meal, I had the crispy chicken burger on a brioche bun with slaw, lettuce, and fries. The chipotle and lime mayonnaise had a bit of a kick, but they were happy to serve it on the side for me. The burger was delicious and the fries were excellent. I considered trying dessert, but the burger was satisfying enough. The restaurant is located in the former Canterbury jail and Police station, which I found fascinating. I only had time to explore the bathroom, which used to be holding cells, but my friend mentioned there are other rooms and original features to see. I will definitely be back to try more dishes from the menu, as the food was very tasty.

We picked up a leaflet for The Pound Bar And Kitchen and decided to book for dinner. When we arrived we were escorted upstairs to The Parade Room (very interesting history which you can read about on The Pound website). The leaflet didn’t mention The Parade Room at all but then we found out it had only been open for 3 weeks! We had an excellent meal. Our waiter,Shaun, was very knowledgeable about the food,wine and the history of the building. My husband said the food was Michelin star quality. I am sure this will be sought after venue for fine dining very soon. It is also part of the Westgate Towers Museum and Viewpoint and if you heave a meal here you get free entry into the museum. We did...
