What Albywon likes about The West Gate Inn:
Came here this morning and spent a couple of hours waiting out the bleak weather. Nice breakfast muffin £3.71) which included free and unlimited Coffee. Good service as always at a JDW. View all feedback. What PorterPotter doesn't like about The West Gate Inn:
Called in here for a coffee and to rest our feet after walking around Canterbury. It's on a busy spot so you can sit and watch the traffic go by whilst enjoying your drinks. View all feedback.

Nestled in a bustling area of Canterbury, this restaurant offers a mixed experience that leaves diners with varied impressions. Guests appreciate the lively atmosphere and the chance to relax with drinks, but several have reported inconsistent service and cleanliness issues. While some meals, particularly breakfast options, received rave reviews for quality, others were criticized for being cold or poorly presented. Staff attitudes also varied, with some patrons noting friendly service while others encountered unprofessionalism. Overall, this venue shows promise, yet the variability in food quality and service suggests a need for consistent improvement to match expectations.
