Student pub. One real cider & London Pride. Small inside, two seating areas, so quite cosy
|
not too bad. Definately a student pub made famous for their own cocktail called a pig fucker.
|
Pleasant little backstreet pub serving decent beer. Bit spit and sawdust, very friendly. Better still, the posh Abode hotel has complained to the council about the noise in a bid to either close it or curtail its hours of opening. Tough. Recommended. Visit it if only to annoy the w*nky hotel.

Small side street pub featuring 3 cask ales. The pint of locally brewed Wantsum Dynamo(�2.90) was very good. Exceptionally cheap grub menu incl double egg & chips for �2.20, but yeah due to the size of the place it did smell like a greasy spoon cafe...still a well deserved 7/10 i reckon
|
Pretty basic pub.
When I was there it was very quiet, and smelled strongly of deep fat fryers. Had one drink and left....my cloths smelled of fat for an hour after I left.

A cosy little pub. The majority of the customers seem to be students. I use this pub most times I visit Canterbury. Until quite recently it was the only place I knew which still served pints of Flowers.
A small bar with a bohemian atmosphere.

Went in there yesterday afternoon and agree with TherockFFC also didnt like having to have a plastic glass because i wanted to sit outside.
|
This place is alright, nothing too spectacular. I liked the tables outside but my beer wasn't great. Bit smelly on the inside, but I think it's cause they were cooking something earlier on. Felt like a fine local, had some charm to it. Friendly enough staff person.

Have to echo what people have previously said - this is a pub with no pretensions. Always good beer and usually only one friendly barperson, fairly priced and clean. It's small and simple and as such you can't really fault it. The tables outside offer a ridiculously good area for drinking and talking with friends, I can't explain it, it's just works better than you can imagine.
Star of the show, however - Biddendens! I had a couple of pints after giving blood, a fantasically cheap night!
|
Quiet and peaceful on a busy Saturday afternoon. Nice friendly little pub with a couple of real ales and Biddenden cider. Nice one.
|
A cosy little pub tucked up a narrow street. It was quiet when I visited mid afternoon.
Service was good and friendly. There are three ales on offer - "Old Speckled Hen" ( still at 5.3 % - get it before Greene King really ruin it! ), but way overpriced at �2.90. The other two ales were "Bass" and Flowers' "I.P.A."
For afficionados of Pfizer's produce, there was Staropramen and Stella Bock.
It'll be some considerable time before they prise any of the folding stuff from my grasp - 4/10.

Nice inside with quite a cozy feel to it. There was also quite a good selection of drinks (as far as I can remember). However it is VERY studenty.

Yeah, nice cosy pub and certainly cheap if you get there 5-8: �2 for any pint, including staropramen! Also a good jukebox. Second best in Canterbury, after the hobgoblin.

Have to agree with other comments - great 'cosy' pub with no pretensions, one of the best in canterbury - this is one of the pubs that keeps me coming back to Canterbury years after I was a student in the city.

The perfect drinking hole - tucked away in an alley, cheap and always packed full of people. Nearly always spills out onto the street, and contains The Best Jukebox In Canterbury tucked away in the corner.

nice, friendly local tucked away in the narrow streets, popular with students as well.
