Bill's Canterbury Restaurant

You'll spot the distinctive green frontage before you even turn into Rose Lane – Bill's has made itself properly at home in this corner of Canterbury's dining scene. The interiors are exactly what you'd expect: that carefully curated mix of vintage finds, hanging plants, and mismatched furniture that somehow works brilliantly together. The menu covers serious ground, from decent brunches that'll sort you right out after a heavy night, through to evening plates that feel more grown-up than your typical chain affair. Their breakfast game is particularly strong – proper eggs Benedict and pancakes that don't feel like an afterthought. The cocktails are surprisingly good too, making it a decent shout for early evening drinks before you head elsewhere, or frankly, staying put for the duration.
