The Corner House

You'll find yourself on Dover Street—proper old Canterbury, the kind of cobbled stretch where you can actually imagine the city's medieval past—and The Corner House just fits. It's the sort of place locals return to without needing an occasion, where the kitchen takes British cooking seriously without getting pretentious about it. The room's unpretentious and warm, the kind of neighbourhood spot that works equally well for a weeknight dinner or when you're trying to impress someone who actually knows food. With over 1,100 reviews sitting at 4.7 stars, there's a reason it's become such a fixture around here.
