The Four Fathoms - Kent Pub of the Year in Canterbury

Popped in on the off chance and they managed to seat us straight away.I had the burger and my wife a salad and let’s just say the portions are huge.The food was pretty good and the service was excellent.They have a much nicer dining room I assume they use in the evenings which looked great.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Roast beef cooked to perfection, medium rare and very tender. Beautiful selection of vegetables. Helpful and friendly staff

Great atmosphere, staff very friendly, good music.

Been there for lunch n drinks after long walk. Lovely welcoming staff, nice atmosphere. Don’t much like food. Doesn’t matter if it’s pricey but very small portion. Make u feel it’s starter n main is coming 😅. Even though feel hungry after that 😝. But still 4 stars for serving with smile 😊 a smile can change anything.

Great Sunday roast. Generous serving of corn fed chicken, roast potatoes, stuffing, parsnips, carrots, sweet potato, butternut squash, cabbage and bacon and lashings of gravy. Great waiter service from the newbie, it's clear the owner values her customers and her staff. Lovely little garden out the back. So dog friendly, they even provide free treats. First visit. We will be back. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

Lovely staff, owner was so nice & cheerful, good atmosphere. Very tender steak both rib eye & fillet! Starters v nice. All well presented. Wine choices great & prices competitive. We'll be back!

On arrival to what appears to be just another pub on a corner you are met with a fresh and modern interior. It's no micropub but the bar area is a bit of a squeeze they serve local ales, larger and stouts as you would hope and a large selection of spirits, prices for a drink are as reasonable as any other good pub.I went as part of a party of 6. We were shown through to a restaurant area at the rear that was warm and as welcoming as the main bar area. My 1st and only grumble is that they have bench seats which are far too low for table.The menu & food.The menu is select it had a couple of options per dietary style (vegetarian, fish and meat) I sampled the delights of the confit of duck spring rolls which were packed full of meat and flavour and presented in an appealing way. For mains I had tried jack fruit, not because I was trying to be a trendy vegan but as it sounded amazing, (which it was)a large portion was presented that again was packed full of flavour and something of a rarity extremely filling. Desert selection is again refined to about 8 dishes catering for most tastes, I had some sorbets which were very nice and refreshing.We were lucky as there was entertainment provided by means of a band called 6 shades of grey, very good band which we could hear on the restaurant area without it being intrusive to the conversation.Overall amazing food, friendly staff and atmosphere, limited menu that's worth reading before you go to check you would eat some thing.

wow! maybe the best restaurant I have tried in the UK? (And I have been to many!). Great friendly service, Michelin star (should have at least one!) food, a pub full of details, loved everything! It's a must if you love food!

Can't recommend Four Fathoms enough complete turnaround from how the old pub here used to be. Food is amazing and service is always friendly warm and relaxed home vibe. Have celebrated both mine and my mum's birthday here will no doubt be back again in the future. Must experience if you are in Herne Bay.

Came here specifically to try the food after stumbling across it online and wasn't disappointed. Very friendly welcome and service, and delicious well presented food at good prices. Local beers on offer as well. Plenty of attention to detail in the decor/crockery as well! Would happily visit again.
