Highly disappointed at my experience here. The food was ok, but the service was incredibly slow. Once seated it took quite a few mins to get our drinks ordered. Once we got our drinks it again took a while to get our food order placed. Then after what felt like forever our food finally came. The waitress at no point during the meal came back to top off our water. When we were finished our meal the waitress offered takeout boxes and then disappeared for 15 mins, and came back without the to go boxes. We originally had planned on ordering dessert as we were celebrating a birthday but the waitress didn’t ask if we wanted anything else and we didn’t feel like waiting another 30-45 for a brownie. She seemed to be the only server but the restaurant did not seem overly busy. There was a table who came in 45 mins after us and left a good 30 mins before us. Very long drawn out experience.

I had fish and chip and the fish batter was hard, the fries was already cold when it came out. I'll try somewhere else next time. But their appetizers was good, and appetizers portion was huge, 2 people couldn't finish it.

Lunch at Kettle Drums was such a delightful experience, especially since we went during quieter hours.?The ambiance, with its warm and spacious interior, was just lovely, and the staff was incredibly friendly, checking on us occasionally. I adored the attention to detail, like using graters as part of the ceiling decor – those little touches make a place unique!? Now, onto the food! While the menu didn't offer a wide variety, there were more items like steak after 3 pm. We indulged in some Sweet Potato Fries and Shrimp. The fries were presented beautifully – crunchy, flavorful, and a generous portion for one person. They were worth every penny! As for the shrimp, it didn't quite hit the mark in terms of both price and size, but it was still decent.? For drinks, I opted for the Raspberry concoction, which was pretty good; I'd order it again. My friend tried the Lavender, and although I didn't taste it myself, it looked and sounded delightful.A big shoutout to my friend Greatness for sharing your food and letting me snap some pictures! It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. ?

Didn't enjoy it as much as we usualy do. The service was not great, at 4:30 they were out of mashed potato and the salmon was a bit over cooked and I think the changed the sauce. We will go again it could have just been an off night.
My husband booked well ahead of time for an office luncheon post Christmas for 8 people. Took a lot of preparation and organizing to get everyone together for this date. Many had to reorganize their work schedule to attend. We picked up a message from someone from this restaurant at 6pm the evening before our 12pm reservation which was made a couple of weeks ago. The message said that they would not be open and that they were canceling our reservation! Left us a couple of hours to find an alternative restaurant that could accommodate 8 people last second. Restaurants are generally not open in the morning. Had to scramble last second to find a restaurant anywhere in Peterborough that would accommodate us. Not easy with a large group. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate. We will never book again. Not reliable.

Sarah was my server and was a hilarious and fantastic personality. Despite being alone on the floor she managed to give attention to other tables, provide excellent service and keep up a great conversation. Also the wings are amazing.

Very nice dining experience. Nice ambient lighting that is warm yet bright enough for conversation. I loved the unique cheese grater lighting, 3 sided fire place and warm colour palette.The food was delicious with many options. We started with a bowl of the Soup of the Day and a basket of Sweet potato kettle chips. The chips were surprisingly light and crunchy served with a perfectly seasoned garlic and dill sauce for dippingFor lunch I ordered the grilled cheese with a roasted beet salad as my side. The 5 year old cheddar, brie, shaved apple slices and red onion jam made a fantastic blend of sweet and salty. The roasted beet salad served with arugula, goat cheese and candied pecans popped the flavours of the grilled cheese for a perfect combo.My spouse had the prime rib sandwich with garden salad loaded with fresh veggies. The sandwich was stacked with prime rib to a daunting height. Enough to fill up the hungriest of customers.Over all I would definitely recommend and we will visit again to try some of the dinner entrées.Thank you Jessica for the great service and shout out to the kitchen for the delicious meal.We will be back.

Apptisers were good. Fresh calamari and ceaser salad. Fries were hard and gross. Server was not personal. Made us feel she didn't want to be there. In stead of an after dinner mint. We were given a Costco chocolate.
The food was very greasy and the wings, were overcooked that the chicken was rubbery. To top it off the pizza had a hair in it.
