The smoked haddock chowder was proper homemade, really filling. For the price, the portion was generous. Left the place feeling very satisfied.

The staff were nice especially our waitress how was lovely,really nice food we won&rsquo;t eat anywhere else from now on when we are In Canterbury,looking forward to returning have told my brother in law and his wife about it and they are going next week.

The burger was cooked just right, and I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted. The onion rings were a nice touch too.

Jasmine&rsquo;s service was so friendly, she kept checking on us without being pushy. Really nice for catching up with friends.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s a proper local pub. Staff are friendly, the garden&#39;s a sun trap in the afternoon. Drinks are always well kept. Just a nice, easy spot.

Lovely spot, even if it&#39;s a bit hidden. The space itself is really calming &ndash; high ceilings and those big windows let in so much light. Just a nice place to sit for a while.

Great spot for a quick bite. Got a pizza on a Tuesday night, cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. The refurb looks good, lots of detail. Wheelchair and dog friendly too. Fast service, which is what I needed.

The toffee apple crumble here is fantastic. Warm, with a perfect crumbly topping and just the right amount of sweetness. It&#39;s the kind of dessert you think about later. The portion was generous too, especially for the price. Really enjoyed it.

Came with a few mates for the Sunday roast. The lamb was spot on, really tender. Good size plate for what we paid. Nice spot for a casual catch-up.

Absolutely love this restaurant, really lovely food.  Great atmosphere, great service and great food.  Brilliant place to go for a leisurely lunch/dinner.

Emma was our server, really polite and helpful with the menu. Felt well looked after, which was nice. Service was attentive without being overbearing.

The outdoor seating is lovely on a sunny day, and the decor inside has this quirky, lived-in feel. It&#39;s a proper local pub atmosphere, not too polished.

Brett at the bar was great. He remembered our drink order from last time, which was a nice touch. Really made the evening.

Solid pub food. The pies are the highlight - the Bull pie was packed with flavour, really hit the spot. Fish &amp; chips were good too, classic and tasty. Just what you want from a place like this.

The craft beer selection is solid. Had a great pale ale with my lunch, just a short walk from the station.

Crab and cheese toastie was really good, the cheese was nice and melty. Homemade chips were crispy too. Decent portion for the price.

Steak night was a solid deal. The steak itself was cooked just right, really good. Service was attentive without being overbearing. A nice, straightforward meal.

Been here a few times now. The food&#39;s always solid, and the staff are really friendly. Good spot for a group dinner.

Lovely rustic barn setting, feels both cosy and spacious. The decor is just right, and it&#39;s conveniently located in town. A very comfortable spot to enjoy a meal.

Been coming here for years. The bangers and mash is always spot on, and the mushroom risotto is a solid choice. You definitely won&#39;t leave hungry.

Due to health reasons I am unable to eat a full meal. The waitress by the name of Fran was very helpful and made sure my needs were met

Will really took care of us. Had a few dietary things in our group, and they handled it all so smoothly. No drama, just sorted it. Made the whole thing easy.

Lovely to find a spot with a garden area where we could bring the dog. The staff were really nice about it and even brought a water bowl out for him. Made for a relaxed lunch.

Came here with a few friends last week. The portions are really generous, we ended up sharing a couple of starters and still had leftovers! Good for a casual catch-up.

Food&#39;s always reliable here, and it comes out quick even on a packed Friday night. I really like their fish and chips. The staff are friendly and the place just feels comfortable, which is what I look for.

Been coming here for years. Natalie and Lexy always remember what you like. Grahame&#39;s a proper old-school landlord, always has a good story. It&#39;s the service that keeps me coming back.

Dog-friendly and staff were very accommodating. We were seated in a quieter spot which was appreciated.

The Park Gate Inn is a charming country pub with a warm ambiance. The menu has a great variety, and the food is both tasty and reasonably priced.

Popped in for their German-themed night. The schnitzel was spot on, really authentic. Had a nice local pilsner with it, which cut through the richness perfectly. A solid choice for a casual meal with a good drink.

The Sunday roast was decent, but the wine list felt a bit limited.
