About us

Our fantastic 700 year old pub is a welcome watering and food stop for locals and visitors alike.

Local ales, continental lagers, world wines.

We now serve food 7 days a week 12 noon until 9pm

A lovely wood burner with sofas all around, heavily beamed ceilings and original brickwork all together makes a comfortable and homely feel to this great old building.

A large free car park for our customers, only 2 minute walk to the East Station and only 5 minutes from the center of Canterbury.

We are dog friendly and have five beautiful new rooms for visitors.

All in all it's what a traditional pub should be.

Our sister rooms are available on www.themaidenschambers.co.uk.

Cool pub. Great bar staff. Nice little outside space. Recommend the open mic every Thursday. Some bands at weekends too. I've heard good things about the food, but never tried.

Lovely evening spent with friends in this popular pub. Everyone was very friendly - the added bonus tonight was the fantastic entertainment because every Thursday is 'Open Mic Night' so we enjoyed good music.

I've stayed here three times while working in Canterbury. My room is always clean. I like the pub , the atmosphere is very relaxed and the food is very good. Free parking, even have an EV charge point ! Breakfast is from the food truck in the car park, no problem in the summer though. The city centre is less than 10 minutes' walk. Review based on the price, I prefer this pub to budget Travelodges and Premier Inns. unless you want to spend over £100 per night, you will not be disappointed here.
