We went on the anniversary of when we first started dating in 1969 and as always everything about the experience at Kathton House was first class. It is not the cheapest place to eat but worth every penny for the overall experience of excellent food, excellent service and wonderful atmosphere

We booked a table here last minute on a weekday for our anniversary. From booking to departure the service was very welcoming. Lovely food and a reasonably priced wine list. It's just a shame that we had no room for desert!

Food and service were excellent as ever, there really is nothing you can fault about this restaurant and we can recommend the cheeses at the end of the meal. For anyone who wants a great dining experience in Canterbury this really is the place to go.

I was so impressed with my visit to this restaurant over the weekend. Having become dairy intolerant a number of months ago I have struggled with food options when eating out and because everything is made that day and fresh to order I was able to have sauces and spread that were dairy free and had a truly amazing meal....

What a fantastic little place. Limited number of diners but beautifully presented high class food. Excellent wine list with reasonable prices. Lunch super value but a leisurely dinner with no hassle to make way for additional sittings is best. All food freshly cooked and presented by very helpful and friendly staff.

I went to Kathton House with my girlfriend last night after reading and hearing lots of glowing reviews and I wasn't disappointed.

We had a lovely evening here and... More

A wonderful meal with excellent service. Home made bread rolls, followed by scallops & as a main course venison. In between courses appetisers & sorbets. I couldn't manage dessert but did manage coffee & petit fours. Truly wonderful. The service was excellent also - attentive but not overly so. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Two courses £35, three course £42... More

All of the reviews have been absolutely correct. I could not fault the food at all. Great food combinations. I could have eaten the whole lot again. This is one restaurant that I would love to come back to.

As we are visiting friends, they insisted we eat here and what a pleasure! Great food and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were attentive and friendly. It is advisable to book and such a positive to have such a great establishment where customer service still exsists.
