The Thomas Beckett - Pubs In Canterbury

A city centre pub close to the High Street and the Marlowe Theatre (the Marlowe was still under reconstruction at the time of writing). Thomas Beckett strives to retain the air of a 'traditional' Canterbury pub with hops hanging from the ceiling, bare walls and stripped floors. The main bar is set at the front with a small restaurant area with about 25 covers to the rear. The atmosphere is generally pleasant, the clientel is a mixtures of; locals, students and tourists. Can get crowded at weekends.You'll typically get quick friendly service.

The pub normally keeps three or four 'ales' and whenever sampled have been good. The food served can be described as 'pub grub', very much in keeping with the traditional theme of the establishment. Pies, roasts, fish and chips all under £10 at the time of writing. I've eaten there several times and the quality can fluctuate, but always average or better compared to similarly priced food in Canterbury.

No big screen TV and few distractions from good conversation and a nice pint. Worth a visit if you're in Canterbury, tourist seem to like the vibe of the place and there are worse places to go for a quiet drink with friends.
