          Review summary

          AI-generated from verified diner reviews
          Falstaff in Canterbury offers a charming afternoon tea experience with a "lovely atmosphere" and "super friendly" service. Guests rave about the "best scones ever," although some find the food average. The "nice outside terrace" is perfect for sunny days. Ideal for drinks with friends, but service can be inconsistent.

            Lovely afternoon tea, the waiters were all really friendly and helped us make it a special occasion for our friend’s birthday.

            Went for birthday afternoon tea. Tea arrived quickly but with no sugar. No one around to ask so husband went to the bar. Waiter just standing chatting to another staff member. Asked for sugar, he said he would bring it over. Husband poured his tea. 15 mins later still no sugar. Tea now cold, husband went back to bar waiter still chatting and admitted he had forgotten!! Asked for another pot of tea which arrived quickly but 10 mins later waiter asked us if he had given us the tea as he could not remember won’t be going again ever.

            The staff could not be less attentive. We arrived early for afternoon tea and found the staff so poor that we walked out and went elsewhere. They did not check on us once and when we asked for the table to be cleaned they didn’t even bother. I would avoid.

            Very disappointing. No real welcome on arrivall although booked a table. Not enough bar staff. Service slow. Could not make a Pina Colada as don’t have cream on site. House cocktail menu was limited. Over priced

            Lovely food, really good gluten free afternoon tea option. Drinks options on bottomless brunch were great, loads of choice. Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Only thing I felt was a little much was the service charge, but we did get good service so paid it.

            Went for my husbands birthday for an afternoon tea. Staff were very disorganised and we were truly disappointed with the service and food. Sandwiches which they had ‘put together’because chef had gone home early, the tiniest scones in the world and disappointing tiny dry cake. I was expecting far more and not worth the money.

            The most awful experience!! service was terrible, I will never go back. We booked an afternoon tea as a special treat for our daughters 16th Birthday. We made a reservation for 1pm and arrived 20 minutes early, we booked in at reception and was told to wait in the bar area until the table was ready. We waited an hour, I went and asked when we would be seated, the staff member said they didn't release we was there to eat, even though I asked the same person that booked us in when we arrived!! We then got guided to our table, the waiter said he would return shortly to take our drinks order, we waited another 25 minutes but nobody came back, at this point we decided to leave. I found this unbelievable as there wasn't anybody else in the bar or restaurant, the staff couldn't even say there were busy!! I couldn't bring myself to pay £25 a head for such a bad service.
