Great pub, unfussy, with nice detailing, plenty of comfy seating to enjoy your beer in.
Stopped by for lunch after a recommendation from staff at Canterbury Cathedral (a must see when in (Canterbury!!) The Barman was very welcoming and there were multiple menus at the tables. Order from the bar, carry your drinks back to the table and enjoy the atmosphere as you wait for your food. Which arrived very quickly. Had the southern fried chicken strips, side of chips and tomato basil soup. Great for a cold January day! It was delicious!! Chicken was juicy and the batter was tasty without being too thick or heavy. This pub is very dog friendly and has a menu for doggie treats too. If you bring your dog get their picture taken for the walls and beams. One of the top pubs we have been to on this 2 month adventure!
One of the better pubs in Canterbury. Very dog friendly, they even have a dog menu. Awesome staff and always had a fantastic range of beer on tap. Beautiful setting. A proper English pub with a lovely fire. One of my favourites. I just wish I had more time to visit more often.
Superb food, outstanding hospitality. Owner with a great humour. I've tried sunday roast for the first time, I absolutely loved it! Remember, ask it only on Sundays :)
Great food, great menu choice, great friendly atomospher cosy I love the little touches little lights on the ceiling the food was delicious my honest review as always, this is most probably the best beef burger (double beef burger) I have ever ate the flavour in it the sauces the roll was so good, not forgetting the chips, the chips had so much flavour, my mum had the chicken burger and I tried a very tiny piece of it yummy again the garlic sauce she had was delicious my partner he had the sausage, mash and peas with Yorkshire pudding and gravy again 10/10 I also tried I small bit of the mash and gravy the mash Mmm lovely nice and buttery no lumps at all creamy 😊 compliments to chef 👏🏻 would of like to of tried the deserts as sounded amazing but was very full up. If I come to Canterbury again which I will, I will make sure to pop in maybe next time I should bring my jack russell I'm sure she would love it too. this is a dog friendly pub and even has a doggy menu fab idea. They have a cute dog his name is rocco if I'm not mistaken he was lovely well behaved and was happy to pose for a photo with us the ladies toilets was spotless and also what I found a wonderful and thoughtful idea was,inside the toilet in a little drawers they do supply some ladies items if in need in a emergency I thought that was a very thoughtful and great idea. Toilets are not upstairs which is good no stairs to climb after a full stomach haha.... There is a smoking area outside nice seating Highly recommend eating here or popping in for a drink as you won't be disappointed great food, great staff/owners great vibe thank you for a great delicious meal and not forgetting your friendly service felt very cosy and relaxed. The photos I had already started to eat and my partner had too so the photos are not great my only wish is that I wish I lived closer to pop in more but we are at Norfolk quiet a stretch away. Untill the Next time take care and massive thanks again
