The Belfry Deli is great value for money. Their traybakes are huge and one is enough for two people.

The staff were accommodating and were happy to adapt a breakfast dish on the menu to my requirements. The poached eggs were very good.

Good chinese food in a lovely setting by the River Bann. Good for birthdays and special occasions.

Deeson’s is a newly opened restaurant in the heart of Canterbury city centre close to the Cathedral Gates on Sun Street.

Menus are printed on A4 paper (presumably because the menu changes quite regularly with what is available locally)and well set out in plain English.

I ordered a starter of blue cheese and walnut salad. My first complaint was that the salad was under dressed. It consisted a few limp lettuce leaves, fragments of walnut and a small amount of blue cheese. It was quite underwhelming.

A good test of a chef’s capabilities is whether he or she can pull off a delicious vegetarian main course. I am afraid to say that the filled buckwheat pancake I received was dull fayre and more than this, it was burnt.

The others in my party were served bad oysters and the person serving these slimy items persisted in arguing that they were 'Fresh this morning, sir’.

Perhaps if those who served us had been a little bit more humble, I might have been discreet about my bad experience. However, the arrogance and the defensive way criticism was received has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
