About The Refectory Kitchen

A café and bakery in Canterbury with a genuinely useful set-up for eating out with children — high chairs, a kids' menu, and step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which usually means a noisy toddler blends in instead of standing out. There's outdoor seating too, handy when someone needs air or a bit more space, and vegan and gluten-free options cover most dietary needs at the table.
