Bars in Canterbury

“Welcoming & super friendly staff, clean and cosy establishment, the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend. 5 stars !”

“This is one amazing Oldie but Goldie pub filled up with interesting photos on over the walls and antiquity surroundings complete with outdoor seating and a smoking area.
The food of which I had was the best steak & kidney pudding in my life and my misses had a huge pork succulent chop, both served with creamy mash and fresh veg, both were very plentiful and really delicious, hence the empty plates
The service was fantastic including the young girl (well younger then me) was rushed off her feet, made you feel very welcomed and gave you and a busy restaurant 100%.
This place was alight with happiness and that wasn't only due to a brilliant service, great food and good music but people were talking to each other and hardly to none mobile phones, people were polite with no weatherspoon type reckless regulars trying to get a cheap beer if you get my point and my favourite was this cozy corner with a log burner with two sofas that surrounded it to relax with a coffee to finish your meal. The toilets were lovely and clean and didn't smell at all which is just as important as the meal itself, the price was definitely worth it for what I paid which included two puddings and a couple of drinks.
All in all I give this restaurant 10/10, worth the 45 min drive to get there were guaranteed return visit very soon.

Parking: All within a 10 min walk to the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: There were no children there when we went but I did notice smaller meals designed for small children if they went along with their parents on the menu.”

“Good selection of cask and keg beer. The pub has a great, cozy vibes inside and a lovely courtyard out the back”

“Amazing place with very friendly staff. Miss Abbey, the FOH was super kind and Chef Sam has prepared a delicious vegan dinner including CRISPY CAJUN TOFU BURGER and THE MUSHROOMS PIE WITH MASH, PEAS, AND GRAVY. We can't wait to come back to Canterbury!”

“We had a great 21st birthday party in the white hart for our daughter the landlord and staff were very helpful. The buffet was good and the service for drinks was quick.”

“Our niece took us here and we were greatly surprised. It was a nice pub with a waiter-owner-magician who was really welcoming and played a few card tricks while we were having a bevvie. Highly recommended”

“We enjoyed an excellent Friday lunch, brilliant food, best haddock in beer batter I have ever eaten (and it is my favourite fish dish). Wife had wonderful fish pie. Service excellent, attentive without being obtrusive and happy to accommodate a request. So good we booked for next week same time,same place!!
PS Husband forgot to mention the wonderful REAL CHIPS! not frozen tasteless potato starch. Go to the Haywain just for those!”

“Fantastic find in Canterbury and nice to see something a little different. Wonderful menu with a great authentic Spanish food. The service is wonderful with a particular shout out to Sasha - super knowledgeable, get sense of humour and a warm welcome. Looking forward to returning!”

“We moved to Broadoak Canterbury 3 years ago and finally found our local. A real pub for the locals. Really great and friendly owners and staff. Clean and tidy pub, just how they should be. Great tidy and spacious beer garden with regular Barbecues. Plenty of parking in the tidy carpark as well.We had a meal in restaurant this evening. Excellent quantity and quality home cooked meals. Love this local. 10 out of 10.”

“A late call this Saturday afternoon to book for a table of 6 was catered for without an issue. Our first time here and what a wonderful pub in a very pretty and period setting. The staff were polite and friendly and the food was excellent. Highly recommend!”
