Traditional pub. Lovely Sunday roast, eaten in the, very pleasant, beer garden. As one of our group described it - lunch was just like her Nanna used to make. Beautifully cooked. Excellent all round.

Whenever I visit Canterbury the Eight Bells is a must. Its one of that dying breed: a real pub, with real staff like Landlady Kim and real customers. It gets busy on the weekends, so for a quieter visit weekdays are best. On Sunday, it's roasts are legendary. I strongly recommend what is the best pub in the city.

Decent pub. They offer limited food and drink, as is to be expected from a small pub in Canterbury, but the vibe is very nice. Homey, proper pub atmosphere. However, it is too pricey for a Canterbury pub- running at London prices. £4.20 for a pint of Guinness! Still, good pub. I would go again.
