The Eight Bells in Canterbury

Unchanged since our student days forty five years ago. Friendly locals pub. Good beer.

Great, As pub's used to be

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.

Fantastic local, great service and a good local fun group. Ale is always clean, garden looks great and has a very inclusive crowd. 100% recommend this place

A real old style no nonsense pub. Not many left, got to love it.

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.

Good honest pub with excellent beer, a small grumpy dog and a medium sized cat. Genuinely recommend on all levels whether you be tourist or neighbour, you'll feel at home in the 8 bells.

Just had one of the best Roast dinners I have ever had, great home cooking, friendly atmosphere, and welcoming staff. If you're in Canterbury you should definitely visit the Eight Bells.

The most excellent and important pub in Canterbury. Original and needs to remain so, All real pub goers should support this small community asset.

Lovely traditional pub. The beer was good, the staff and locals were friendly. Will definitely be returning on our next trip to Canterbury.
