The Shakespeare - Menu

Went there with my family at the end of a 6 day trip to England. Honestly the nicest service by far. The food was delicious and the service was fast. Cosy atmosphere and a little backyard dining area to boot.

I went to this restaurant for lunch with my grandchildren. They were very accommodating to picky eaters! They had a good selection of beers and a nice shady courtyard that was a great alternative to indoor seating.

The staff are very friendly and the pub mixes traditional with modern and the menu is varied. The cheeseburgers were huge and tasty but a touch dry. The fish and chips however, were disappointing the breading was soggy and greasy not at all a pleasant dining experience.

everything that has been written previously about the Shakespeare experience I would actually agree with though on the 20th of December I was very shocked to discover that amid a pandemic and in a University city there was no hand soap in the mens loo's! Shocking really and definitely not what I expected from a Shepherd neame pub!

Popped in for lunch on one of the hottest days of the year. Sat in a lovely shady courtyard and enjoyed really tasty food. The menu was varied and my fish and chips (not very adventurous, I know, but I have dietary limitations at the moment) was very good excellent chips,lovely crispy batter and flaky fish, and the peas tasted fresh and not over cooked.

The restaurant has a charming ambience, but unfortunately, the food was subpar. I ordered a veggie burger that seemed to have been frozen and reheated, with a dry bun that lacked any juiciness or flavor. I also received potatoes on the side instead of fries, which were again bland and dry. The sticky toffee pudding was one of the worst I've had in England. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a satisfying meal.

Wanted somewhere to go last minute for a meal out with my partner, not being from Canterbury we weren't sure where to go...Although it's a small pub from the outside and not on the main highstreet it is well worth finding. Spoke to the manager Cristina and she was amazing, really friendly and fitted us in with no problems at all. The pub was busy, the atmosphere was great and the staff really made us feel welcome. Christina came over personally to ensure we were happy with everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would definitely recommend to friends, we will be back.

Booked into this little pub in the centre of Canterbury for lunch after being very happy with a previous visit....yet again it didn't disappoint!! Cheese and bacon burger and an open chicken satay sandwich with a side of chips were ordered and both throughly enjoyed. Portions are very generous, to be honest, we didn't need the extra chips but they were still very very nice. Staff were very friendly and attentive even when the pub became busy over the lunchtime period, the Manager Christina suggested a lovely white wine which was delicious. This little gem is fast becoming my favourite place to visit when in Canterbury.

The ambience and building are quaint and inviting. However, the service left a lot to be desired. The waiter spilt a pint of beer all over my wife, and whilst mistakes happen, my wife's coat still has to be dry cleaned. There was no offer of amends, nor even a free drink for my wife, which is bad form and poor customer service. The food took an age to arrive, and was inadequate in quality and volume for the price. I had the chicken and vegetable skewer, which consisted of 3 or 4 small chunks of chicken, a slice of pepper and a couple of cubes of pineapple. To finish it off, a handful of chips. Not a lot for £12. Ketchup came in small metal containers and I had to repeatedly ask for this. We...
