Lovely traditional pub (the oldest one in the city to be more accurate). Feels very homely and I always feel very safe there. The owner goes out of his way to be friendly and lots of things happening, from the free to enter weekly pub quiz, (currently on Wednesdays) to darts, open mic and board game nights. Often quiet as it gets overlooked due to being slightly out of the centre, but worth the 5 min walk. Excellent food and all at reasonable prices.
Amazing pub, with a very welcoming atmosphere.
Having visited several times, I have been able to sample a selection of the food from the kitchen and am always impressed with the quality and value for money.
Mark the landlord is friendly and welcoming. If you get a chance do pop into the kings head for a drink, chat and some good food, you won't be disappointed.
Lovely traditional pub serving a good selection of cask ales. Very friendly staff, especially Helen, who served us up a fantastic Sunday roast. As it's my local now, I can comfortably recommend this particular pub to anyone who happens to be in the area and to try out the food as it's the best I've tried in and around Canterbury. Edit...12/07/22. Closed briefly for circumstances beyond their control.
I've been to this pub more than any others in Canterbury because the staff are amazing! The owner makes you feel right at home and they have a stunning backyard/patio area. My favorite place to get a drink with friends.
Great, welcoming environment and the food is amazing. There's a great range of things you could have so you wouldn't find yourself short of choice. The bar staff and chef are very friendly and if you have any problems they are very quick to assist. AMAZING!
10/10 customer service and food. But talking about the food the curries there are amazing. They taste good, they look good, they are great and I would recommend anyone to stop by and try some!
If you meet the chef he is always happy and makes quick friends with customers and generally he is a very nice person!
Food and drink here is top tier, would go again!
We called at the last minute and Mark was able to get us a room. He was very flexible and very helpful. Same goes for the cook Nathan, just ask and he will be happy to oblige. We ended up having a great time, meeting new people, discovering local culture and games. We will definitely go back.
We stayed for 1 night. Great night. Friendly staff. Clean warm room. Slightly tired but nice. Excellent breakfast even the veggie order. Will see you all soon xx
Country pub in town with a great range of beer. Lovely staff make you feel really welcomed. Good decor and well-run pub.
Great atmosphere and selection of drinks. Local pub with real locals in there. Highlight is the bar billiards table which is great fun and you don't see many of them any more.
