    Food was delicious, chose a quiet time of day and food was delivered in good time, but first two courses came at the same time like a meze. If it was evening I would know to ask that they are spaced out a little so hot dishes didn’t go cold. Glad to hear they are adding more dishes to give a greater choice.

    Had an afternoon tea at the Abode, Canterbury. The food was exceptional, there was a good variety of sandwiches, wraps, sausage rolls and quiche. There were the traditional fruit scones with cream and jam and the cakes were delicious. All the food was amazing and plenty of it. There was a good selection of different teas to choose from as well. The service was very good, they did not rush us and were very polite and courteous. It made my friend’s birthday celebration very special and will definitely be going back again. Highly recommend, such good value for money.
