The Punch Tavern - Canterbury

Quickly seated and Abi took our order-at the bar. Very helpful at the bar with ordering of gluten free food options. Group of 5 of differing age’s. Good choice of fresh vegetables available with the carvery, gammon and beef were my favourite, delicious. Some of family had turkey and gammon which was also very good. Five empty plates later desserts were selected. Gluten free chocolate fudge cake was served warm with fluffy cream . Would definitely have this again sponge really light. Others had the deep cheese cake, sticky toffee pudding and apple pie, everything was delicious.

On the outside it looked very much like your usual chain Resturant, on the inside we were really impressed by the outstanding level of customer service, the quality of the food and the amazing value.

Meat servings on the carvery were generous. The veg was poor, the meat was soggy, and we had over 30 minutes wait for a carvery calzone which had similar issues as the meat and veg on the actual carvery. Love the ice cream bar, despite the odd colour of the ice cream
