Junglefresh.'s review of Kentish Canteen

I really enjoyed my first taste of this friendly, light, unpretentious local restaurant. This is not haute cuisine, it is rather “honest cooking” with decent wine available. We asled our waitress about the wine choice to discover that her recommendation was spot-on which is not all that usual. Our waitress was friendly, enthusiastic and clearly loved to work there. The food was good, and matched expectations, though my sliced steak was not particularly memorable. I know my wife enjoyed her fish, but this was more of an overall experience than a foodie paradise. The lady who seemed to own the place took the trouble to come round and ask for views. suggestions and criticism. She engaged with us in a non-defensive and open-minded way, taking in all that we had to say. We wiill be returning soon. This is a valuable and welcome addition to the local dining choice and my wife and I left feeling appreciated as customers and really very happy with our evening and overall experience.
