Incredible old pub, oldest in Canterbury. Good food and drinks with indoor and outdoor dining options. Service could not have been

Good pub with a good garden and nice atmosphere. Food could do with some work and the burger in particular was really poor. The burger patty was bad quality and the lettuce and onion poorly prepared (it was like they had been cut with a dinner knife). Rest of the food seemed okay and the menu is pretty reasonably priced.

On the ONE spring day we've had so far we were lucky enough to be in the garden at The Parrot pub. Ace food. Don't go there please because it's for us to enjoy and us only. Far too exclusive and lovely for the likes of you. The Magnolia was out to perfection as well.A wonder in hiding. Let's keep schtum.

Great Sunday lunch & red wine !! Plus crumble & custard!

I absolutely loved Parrot. The atmosphere was homey and welcoming; you really felt like you could spend your weekend nights here. The Tudor style architecture made me feel like I wandered into a tavern in a fantasy setting like DnD or LOTR. The servers and bartenders were all nice and accommodating, especially Francis, and the food was phenomenal. I know the food is already going to be good when the menu is enticing enough that I want to order both a starter and a dessert. I had two different red wines, which were also top notch. I will definitely come here again on my next trip to Canterbury.Vegetarian options: They had a couple of options, which you can see on the menu picture above, but not a lot. If you're pescatarian, there is more to choose from.Dietary restrictions: There is an option of gluten free.

Amazing place. Feels old, classic, but fantastic ?

Great food and friendly service. Well presented gastro pub in the heart of Canterbury.

Good service and good food- a really nice meal before the cinema. Even better that they don’t automatically add a service charge- which I was happy to add due to the good service. I will definitely be back.

This place was amazing. The guy managing it was so good to us. So glad we came out
We had a lovely Saturday lunch. It wasn’t too busy x but had a good atmosphere - wide choice including plenty of vegan dishes and specials. Brilliant value on the kids meals. All of our dishes were good, with a couple excellent (rarebit) and some slightly less (the polenta special) but overall a good findVegetarian options: Lots of choice for vegan dishes tooKid-friendliness: Menu is great value and my son (7) loved the activity sheet

Very tasty and generous Sunday roast in a fabulous venue. Excellent Panko prawn starter too! Prices reasonable, ask to sit upstairs for a more roomy experience with vaulted Tudor ceilings.

Well what a hidden (and it is quite hidden)gem this is. Very old, wonderful architecture, lovely staff, real Ales, nice wines, a real fire, heaps of atmosphere. We didn’t eat as we’d had a fabulous breakfast at The Falstaff Hotel, but the food looked excellent…. Then we went up the stairs. WoW! A medieval dining Hall. next time we will be dining?. This must be on your itinerary.

If you find yourself in Canterbury and are looking for a warm and welcoming traditional English pub with thoughtful food, even for vegans, definitely visit it. Tip! It would be good to make a reservation. Reasonable prices and don't forget to taste the local beer!

Service was fantastic. The building was amazing in its history and layout. Lunch was a peaceful and enjoyable experience. A Canterbury highlight.
