Harden's survey result
Summary
This “long-term favourite” in an old railway shed has “certainly put itself on the map” thanks to “solid cooking at reasonable prices using produce from the farmers‘ market with which it shares a home”. It’s a “buzzy” sort of place whose “tasty, wholesome dishes” can be “washed down with some excellent Kentish wine” – all backdropped by candlelight if you visit in the evening as the market winds down.
Summary
“Above the farmers’ market, cheese shop, and wine merchants in a converted goods shed”, a “lovely” destination where “the menu is determined by what local produce is available just a few feet away”; it’s “very romantic in the evening”, when they do formal candlelit dinners.
Summary
“Standards are high” at this “in-house restaurant in Canterbury’s permanent Farmers’ Market”. “Quality ingredients are sourced from the stalls”, and “the dishes have recently been more imaginative” – even if “prices have crept up”.
Summary
“Either a restaurant with its own farmers’ market or a farmers’ market with a restaurant, depending on your priorities” – either way, “fruit and veg come from within a few miles, while meat and fish are of the highest quality”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Lovely spot showcasing local Kentish produce within a short walk of the cathedral. Parsnip soup, pumpkin tart and salad bowl all excellent - as were the Docker beers. "
