Our Guestbook
“ This restaurant tries to be trendy, normally this fails, but in the case of the Socialite, it succeeds. Not only is the place obviously attractive in location and decor, but the food and service is very good. There is something for everyone here, a great view, a DJ and fun surroundings. There is real thought put into the place, including very good acoustics, which mean conversations are easy, without a stuffy atmosphere. It’s not cheap, but I have been several times now and would happily return again. ”
“ Socialite and the new Sona restaurant are a hidden gem with stunning views of Canterbury cathedral! The food is delicious and just the right portion size and the staff are all brilliant and super attentive! Fab cocktails too! We had such a lovely lunch on the terrace. I thoroughly recommend! ”
“ The rooftop dining experience was truly exquisite. The breathtaking view of the cathedral added a magical touch to our evening. The attentive staff catered to our every need, enhancing the overall ambiance. However, the 12% service charge in Canterbury felt a tad excessive. Nonetheless, a five-star experience worth savoring. ”
“ The service was great I had a great time with my family, I got the Sunday roast and it was amazing. The manager was super helpful and nice and so were the rest of the staff. A man called Shaun welcomed me and sat me down and service was great I’d definitely recommend. A beautiful view and very comfortable atmosphere. ”
“ The view is really nice and wherever you sit, you can enjoy the view. Non-alcoholic option is available. The food menu is not very spacious, but mostly with its drinks. It is not a place for children. It's a good option to listen to the head during the day and have fun in the evening ”
“ Our waitress Jodie was very helpful and attentive all night and made it a very enjoyable meal. Darryl and Jodie gave us a beautiful table and a surprise for our anniversary. We ordered many cocktails which were delicious and beautifully made by Conor and Lee. Overall 10/10 experience in the restaurant and at the bar. ”
“ What a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the views, especially on a lovely sunny afternoon. The seating was very comfortable and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our drinks were served quickly and were both tasty and well presented. Its obviously very popular because it was very busy and not many free seats. ”
“ New restaurant and food fantastic. The views over Canterbury were stunning. ”
