What Sam L doesn't like about The Drapers Arms:
Really overpriced for what it is. I had a fried chicken bao bun (pictured) which was £8 for a single bun with one small piece of chicken, that was smothered in a sauce that tasted suspiciously similar to sriracha.

I love this place it is great the food is amazing, the staff are great, the food is amazing. It is a card only venue

The Draper's Arms in Canterbury offers a mixed experience. Some customers were unimpressed by long wait times and dirty facilities, while others praised the friendly service and great food. The menu received mixed reviews, with some disappointed by limited choices. The atmosphere was peaceful during a midweek lunch, and the Korean-style dishes received high praise for their flavors and quality. Overall, opinions on The Draper's Arms were divided, with some vowing never to return while others were delighted by the experience. Despite its flaws, the restaurant seems to have potential to satisfy a variety of tastes.
