Love a few days in Canterbury, no shortage of places to eat, plus the bonus of a quick train ride to Margate/Broadstairs/Whitstable. Fantastic. Great review as always, not sure how i missed this one!
Jump the hurdle, I did at 55 with great trepidation, it worked out so well once I let go, which took a while to say the least. Believe in the bigger picture and it will come to you . Part time is the biggest blessing and fall back that others don't have so be blessed my friend. Take care be strong and know everyone else is here to support you.
Never been to Canterbury but it looks a lovely City, can't make my mind up about your new show ? I really enjoyed off the Chart, will continue to watch.Sheila& Patrick.
We have just stayed at the abode to celebrate my birthday, they kindly upgraded our standard room to a suite at no extra charge plus a bottle of proseco in the suite , I got the winter wanderlust package with a la carte evening meal and breakfast for less than £200, it was an absolute treat . They even looked after our cases the next day while we explored Canterbury City. Loved it. 🎉
Good Morning Darren. I hope you are alright and feeling more Positive with yourself. A very Lovely and cooked to Perfection the Perfect Gentleman's Full English Breakfast for the Hotel Guest that is you Darren. You should go out and visit somewhere different and Treat yourself to Lovely meal in the Perfect setting. Enjoy yourself and just relax and soak in the Ambience of the Establishment. Glad you Enjoyed yourself Darren. Yes, i am feeling really Good and ready for the New Year in 2024. This will be a Great Year for Everyone. You are doing very Well Darren. Keep on going and believe in Yourself. You can really do this my Friend. ☺☺💯👍👍👍👍
Hi Darren, the breakfast looked amazing, and that poached egg wow 😋 love them. I am with you, don't have an item if you're not keen on it as it just goes to waste. I liked what you said about hurdles are there to jump, so so true Mate. All the best 🍻
I’m late to the party 😂 that looked so nice. £18 is good for the quality I think Darren. And, why not have a treat? -well deserved. Thanks for sharing 😊
Breakfast not the biggest fry but looked epic. Short breaks are brilliant. Because of health challenges I haven’t been able to go on foreign summer hols with my wife, so I booked us three nights in a lovely hotel in Reims. Suite, bathroom, separate shower, monster bed and terrace. Brilliant staff. Visited a superb motor museum and the cathedral. If that was ketchup on his sausages then Darren is straight off to the ducking stool. 😉
Nice looking breakfast that Darren although myself I do love tomatoes either fried or tinned, just a personal touch. Plenty of orangey marmalade too on my toast. Looks a very smart hotel just my kinda place.
Lovely vlog Darren ,as usual you made me hungry but I’m Back on the diet .happy new year to you I think I’ve wished you that last week but no matter ,wishing you health n happiness and all things good ,xxxCollette
Hi S This may or may not work for you . Many years ago I was told by an Italian that if cooking tomato based sauce , add equal quantities of salt and ..SUGAR, it balances out . Works for me , if I forget , which is rarely, I notice a difference , give it a try .
Hi. I am a little confused as I thought you were doing these reviews on your new channel. Nice breakfast though. Was it inclusive of room rate or extra, set price of itemised. Xx
Darren, a bonus break for no real reason, just a break is a soul boosting experience, and if you can afford to do it ,the feelgood factor is money very well spent 😊. Good well presented plate of food.Toast in the basket,not crammed on the side of the plate 😊( sound of you buttering the toast,the scrape.One of the first signs of being grown up,and buttering it at the table😊)Sugar tongs,bygone days.£18 a steal😊Would have liked the cost of B&B for one night,but that's what the Internet is for.Forward into 2024 Brighter.Better .Allan&Family
I’ll have your black pudding thanks lol! It looked lovely Darren. All the very best this year and mind if you’re ever in Glasgow give me a shout. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
you do manage to find the nice hotels!! that all looked good, i cant be bothered with mushrooms, but i will give that a 9, i think you should review hotels more and the quirky b and b's out there
We stayed there last year and had a feed in the Po'boys place on the high street - pretty good - you should give it a go. Also in Broadtairs - we stayed at the Botany Bay Hotel - good brekkie there 🤤
I have stayed at the Abode Hotel in Canterbury and I completely 100 percent with you on the breakfast Darren.... its off the charts... and the hotel itself is absolutely stunning.
thank you ever so much - You really spent so much dosh on the Brekkies. This is my pathetic text but I really do miss my mate of Irish heritage (fck the spellings) who died with bowel cancer 15 years ago
Looks suspiciously like a bought in catering poached egg. That said I'd smash the whole lot. The only problem with posh hotels is they are quite restrained on portion sizes - one of everything just doesn't cut it.
Lovely Darren, this breakfast is just what you wanted. Clean plate no fuss. Keep filming, love your laid back no nonsense style.
The classiest videos on UA-cam from the classiest man in the world.
Too kind

Nice One Pal .

Mushrooms are a must with a breakfast 👌
Lovely place to eat and the breakfast looked lovely i hope all things that are good happen for you this year Darren love to you and family xx

Hurdles only become obstacles if you choose not to jump them. Wishing you all the best for this year

Great breakfast DJ. Any reason you didn't post on your food channel?.

You never disappoint with your breakfasts Darren

A really nice breakfast Darren looked like quality food ❤
Wish you all the best on the job front in 2024 👍
Hi S
This may or may not work for you . Many years ago I was told by an Italian that if cooking tomato based sauce , add equal quantities of salt and ..SUGAR, it balances out . Works for me , if I forget , which is rarely, I notice a difference , give it a try .
Breakfast did look good especially the egg
Wish you all the best going forward Darren xx👍👍
Thanks so much Anne
As im coeliac its good to hear the waiter ask fo you have any dietary questions.
Indeed
Very good so much better than a Buffet breakfast you get in the chain hotels
Hi. I am a little confused as I thought you were doing these reviews on your new channel. Nice breakfast though. Was it inclusive of room rate or extra, set price of itemised. Xx
My other channel will be food ONLY 🙏🏼👍🏼

I couldn't agree more Allan
Always had you as a black pudding lad. Good vid and a good looking plate.
Looks OK , I expected a bit more to be honest big man. Next time try The Refectory in Canterbury. Breakfast is superb.
Brilliant breakfast. Made me hungry. I also dont like black pudding
😊😊😊😊WOW lovely breakfast DJ😊😊😊
Recommended stay for you is botany Bay hotel broadstairs you would love that 😊
Ive stayed there
Lovely you should done video there come on!!😄
I’ll have your black pudding thanks lol! It looked lovely Darren. All the very best this year and mind if you’re ever in Glasgow give me a shout. 🥰☀️🥰xxx
You are welcome June - i will
Looked banging Darren 👌
you do manage to find the nice hotels!! that all looked good, i cant be bothered with mushrooms, but i will give that a 9, i think you should review hotels more and the quirky b and b's out there
I have just booked here on your recommendation because my daughter has a Kent University visit this week xx
Hope you enjoy it! I love Canterbury
@@DarrenJohn yes it was nice to have a recommendation. We loved Canterbury, I had never been. Xx
@@lisalewis8989 Beautiful, i go as often as i can
The Abode sounds like bome from home! 😊❤ the hurdles Darren😢, I've had rather too many of them at the start of 2024, car problems, 🥵
We stayed there last year and had a feed in the Po'boys place on the high street - pretty good - you should give it a go. Also in Broadtairs - we stayed at the Botany Bay Hotel - good brekkie there 🤤
Love the breakfast! 😍 What’s your t-shirt logo, I like it! 😍
The Water Rats - video coming soon on my other channel
Beautiful
I’d need at least 2 of those to start my day. 😂
I have stayed at the Abode Hotel in Canterbury and I completely 100 percent with you on the breakfast Darren.... its off the charts... and the hotel itself is absolutely stunning.
Smoked back bacon always🥓😊
DJ, sorry to be pedantic here, Canterbury is the only city in Kent. Rochester lost it city status back in 1998 when it forgot to renew the paperwork.
Hi DJ looked a nice brekky but we need you back on the Lanndan full English we need more bubble 😂
That looks fab - hope you ok ? I’m going through a hard time at min 🙏
You must be psychic, you said that the breakfast looked fab over three minutes before they showed it!!
Hope all works out :) what's up?
@@rogerauclair1670and your problem is what? Get a life
@@rogerauclair1670 and?????
thank you ever so much - You really spent so much dosh on the Brekkies. This is my pathetic text but I really do miss my mate of Irish heritage (fck the spellings) who died with bowel cancer 15 years ago
Lovely looking breakfast apart from the mushroom for me. Would have had the tomato instead, but each the our own
Very civilised indeed.
Can't fault your appetite Darren eating the toast and marmalade after full English I'd be stuffed
The breakfast looked ok.
Just a minor point, should this breakfast review have been on your new food channel ?
My other channel will be food only - however, the Darren John channel will always be a mixture of food, travel, motorbikes, London history and me.
"HOW MUCH" !!!!!!!!!!
Lot of comments gone missing 😮
Missing? I dont delete messages - unless they are abusive
@@DarrenJohn well they certainly wasn't abusive and it was rather a large thread that was going on...Ah well...shame that...🙄
Rochester is no longer classed as a city Darren. Lost its status in 1998.
I'll have to go back .. dont think said Rochester .. mind I might have mid heard
Looked delicious but seemed a bit sparse - I know I’m greedy - I like quality and quantity lol.
Darren what no bubble
Hallelujah…. Decent sausages!!! I’m with you on the Orange with bits in…🤮Sadly,Rochester is no longer a City!!
I like Dover and Deal Sandwich…
Looks suspiciously like a bought in catering poached egg. That said I'd smash the whole lot. The only problem with posh hotels is they are quite restrained on portion sizes - one of everything just doesn't cut it.
not huge like others but looks nice....
No I saw it before I commented
