Was not the best afternoon tea we have had. The sandwiches and scones were good, but cake selection really undervalued it. They were bit dry and boring. Not like the lovely cakes they had on display downstairs. And there was a decided chill and on a wet day it was not very warm! Waitresses were nice and polite though.

Overall it was lovely but it was very cold. It would of been nice to have to log burner lit. Would of been nice to have the music on when we arrived and not towards the end of our Special Tea.

My family had a wonderful time at the Moat Tea Room. We read quite a few reviews of the Canterbury options for afternoon tea and decided on the Moat. We are very pleased that we did; there was a very large range of tea choices, our scones were amazing, and sandwiches were very filling. Definitely recommend!

Amazing, quirk tearoom. We were seated straight away and given a choice of where we would like to sit. Staff are lovely and were extremely attentive during our visit. They offer a wide variety of teas, coffees and yummy cakes on their menu, making it difficult to choose. But we went for an afternoon tea and could not fault the variety of foods. It was delicious.

My friend and I had an amazing time at the Moat Tea Rooms. We awed over the food and raved about the tea. We particularly liked the Rocky Road cake and the scones. Wishing you the best in the future!

Long wait for food and confusion over where we sat as they wanted us to move to another room but made a mistake. They apologised but seemed confused about where their group booking was going. The chef seemed to have a better grasp of things and his customer service was outstanding.
