Reid Marlowe Café

Named for two famous men of Canterbury, one a detective and the other a playwrite, they have become an inspiration to the owner of the café. The café itself is themed around the arts and literature. All of the names of the dishes she serves are related to literature and the arts, and she has chosen quite the decor to make one feel as if they were in a nineteenth century literature novel.

It is located next to the Greyfriar's Lodge and across from The Old Brewery Tavern; there is a nice view of the Great Stour River from the outdoor patio in the rear of the building. It serves breakfast and lunch seven days a week. The main chef, the owner, has taken many courses in various cuisines, and is always adding new things to her daily specials menu. There is always something different and interesting to try at Reid Marlowe's.
