3 Best Pubs in Canterbury, UK

What an absolute gem do I need to say anything more than it’s the oldest pub in town! Whether you come for an easy drink in the garden or for Sunday roast or dinner, it is always great. Food is delicious, has great variety, and service is on point, super friendly and helpful staff. I recommend checking out the daily specials too! Will keep returning here as it’s a favourite spot in Canterbury! The indoor interior is the best, authentic and wholesome experience.

We fallen in love with this place and indeed we spent here all the dinners of our stay in Canterbury. The place is "old", warm and cozy. Like opening the door on the past, but a pleasant past. It is never too crowded, and privacy is maintained between adjacent tables. The food is very good, with also vg options. The staff is really nice and makes you feel welcome since the moment you set foot inside the door.

Fantastic meal in a super cosy and atmospheric pub. I had an absolutely beautiful pie here for dinner - the staff were so attentive, friendly, welcoming and polite - would definitely come back here again, and recommend it to all.

Booked lunch here after my graduation with my family and had a great experience. Service took a little while admittedly, but when it did the staff were very friendly and considerate, and the food was ace. Menu is varied and plenty of choices regardless of diet. We had the fish and chips and the plant-based chicken burger - both delicious and well portioned. The fish is some of the best I’ve had! We appreciated that the waiter also asked if the plant based burger was for a vegan or vegetarian, which really impressed us. Definitely coming again.

We LOVED the toffee pudding! The cider was also very delicious and paired well with the dessert. We got there just as the sun was coming out so we got a chance to enjoy the sunshine in the garden. Definitely come here for the dessert.

Great environment and lovely seating space. The outdoor area is super amazing and comfortable- spacious too. I had bread and olives for a start which was really tasty. The mix of olives and sweet peppers was lovely. Then had the gammon steak with potatoes, peas and two eggs. The flavors really complimented each other and it was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.
