We decided to try out this pub for Sunday lunch after reading positive reviews on Trip Advisor. Unfortunately, our experience was a letdown. We waited for 50 minutes for our meals, which felt like a long time. They had run out of beef, so my two daughters and I settled for chicken, while my husband opted for the duo of pork and chicken. The chicken was dry, the roast potatoes were soggy, and the peas were still frozen. The Yorkshire puddings were tiny and comical in size. We had to remind the staff about our cauliflower cheese, which arrived after we had almost finished our meal. While the staff were friendly and helpful, we believe the chef may need to be replaced. Overall, we will not be r...
This restaurant is extremely welcoming to all types of guests, including families and dog owners. The menu offers a great selection of food and drinks, and the staff are attentive and friendly. The venue is well-maintained, with a charming outdoor area equipped with air conditioning for the summer and heat lamps for the winter. The walls are decorated with Polaroids of all the dogs that have visited over the years, adding to the cozy atmosphere. The restrooms are exceptionally clean, with feminine hygiene products provided in the women's facilities. The level of customer care and thoughtfulness from the staff is evident throughout. I would definitely return to this restaurant and highly reco...
Having been to Canterbury so many times I have no idea why I hadn’t been to this pub before! What a lovely pub. The food was really good and vegan/vegetarian choices. I had the southern fried chicken burger with skin on fries. My friend had halloumi with skin on fries. We both had the special desserts chocolate delice with caramel sauce. Reasonably priced too. Great atmosphere with the rugby on tv. Staff very friendly and attentive. The pub is also dog friendly : Will definitely return when going to see a show at Marlowe
A huge thank you to Robert and Liam for making us feel so welcome. We loved our visit so much we returned for a second meal on another day. This is true English hospitality and we cannot recommend the Thomas Beckett more highly, especially if you like to talk tennis (Chef LIam will love the chat). What a great pub, exactly what you’re looking for. Just super and the meals are EXCELLENT!

This charming pub is the best we discovered in the center of Canterbury. James, who was tending the bar, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He maintained the place in such an organized manner - we hope he is truly appreciated for his hard work!
Friendly welcoming pub great selection of beer and tasty reasonably priced menu. We had lunch which was tasty and reasonably priced. Would thoroughly recommend and will certainly be visiting again ourselves in the near future
Great atmosphere on a Saturday night for a few drinks, with a live musician. Staff were lovely and the photo wall of dogs is a must-see! Great selection of board games too.
What a lovely place to spend a few hours or more. The place has such a relaxing atmosphere. The landlord is great and has wealth of knowledge. I will be returning
