Was Rob Morgan at Leonora's Kitchen Bistro a mag?
absolutely wonderful Concept and great coffee Break Place! We ordered some refreshing drinks which were exactly what we need on a hot summer day! Drinks were yummy and the staff so so nice. Plus you can pay forward a meal for someone in need, so if you have a spare few quid you can help others : View all feedback.

I discovered this hidden gem while exploring the charming streets of Canterbury. The staff were fantastic and explained the donation policy and lack of a price list, which was a wonderful concept for a great organization. The staff were very eager and helpful. The food and drinks were excellent. We will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely amazing, with a very good cause as well. The food and coffee are fantastic in a lovely part of the city.

Lily's Social Kitchen is a fantastic restaurant that left me feeling delighted. It's not often you come across initiatives like this that are doing so well, and I highly recommend giving it a try. The restaurant operates on a pay-what-you-can, pay-it-forward philosophy, and the food and drinks are expertly made and served. My father loved his Greek salad, and my special dietary needs (vegan, no saturated fat) were accommodated without any fuss.

Great food great place and staff. They have no charge as work on donations. If you visit there website site you will find the staff are volunteers and get trained up to work else were.

Had a delicious Greek salad here today, with brilliant soundtrack in the background! This cafe is part of a social enterprise which provides training and work experience for disadvantaged and vulnerable people in the community. It is also a donation cafe, so you pay what you feel the food/ drink is worth, and more if you want to support this worthwhile enterprise.
