Great little spot for a drink and a bite. The bar food was spot on - the burger was juicy, perfect with a local IPA. Staff were friendly and helpful. The place has a nice, cozy feel to it, feels like a proper old pub. A solid choice.

Great pint in the garden. Holly was a top host. Quick, easy spot for a drink.

Cosy spot with the open fire going - perfect for a cold evening. Staff were really friendly, and they let us bring our dog in too. Just the kind of place you want to settle into for a few hours.

Jamie&#39;s D&amp;D nights are a solid idea. It definitely brings in a different crowd. He&#39;s always on the floor, checking on tables and helping out. The vibe is fun, though it can get a bit loud when the dice start rolling!

Lovely spot for afternoon tea. The art on the walls is a nice touch, and the tea selection is decent.

Came back for dinner after a quick pint. The food was spot on and the Guinness was exceptional. Good value for the quality.

Kaci was brilliant. As someone dining alone, she chatted with me like a real person, not just a customer. Her service was spot-on, attentive without being overbearing. Really made the evening.

A proper British pub. The real ales are well-kept, which I appreciate. I was really pleased to see a few lighter, lower-ABV options on the board &ndash; it&rsquo;s nice to have a choice that fits with a mindful approach. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, just what you&rsquo;d hope for.

The courtyard is always so peaceful. Been coming for years and it&#39;s consistently a nice spot to sit with the dog.

A really nice spot for a drink. The decor inside is lovely, all warm wood and soft lighting. Felt very relaxed just sitting there. Staff were friendly, too.

The Sunday roast is a decent size with a nice mix of veg. The apple and cherry crumble was a good finish, though the custard was a bit thin.

The portions are generous, so sharing a few dishes is a good idea. The bill came out very reasonable.

Solid Sunday roast spot. Got the beef, huge portion and really tender. It&rsquo;s a bit of a wait when it&rsquo;s busy, but the vibe&rsquo;s nice.

We try to visit the Foundry every time that we visit friends in Canterbury (about twice a year). Every visit the food, beer,  &amp; service has been excellent. Highly recommended!

The walk from Tunbridge Wells Common is nice. But the real draw is the food. Had the Sunday roast beef, cooked just right, not dry at all. The gravy was rich and the Yorkshire pudding was spot on. That&#39;s what brings me back.

Been going here for years. Their double cheeseburger is the real deal - juicy patty, proper toasted bun, the works. Always hits the spot. The local crowd keeps it friendly.

I was really pleased to find a proper vegan roast here, it&#39;s not always easy. The staff were very accommodating about my request. A nice, relaxed spot where they welcome dogs too, which is a bonus.

The free pool on Thursdays is a nice touch for a casual evening.

Molly provided excellent service during our meal, making sure we were well taken care of. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented, enhancing our overall experience.

Looks a bit rough from the outside, but it&#39;s a proper old pub inside. They&#39;ve got a good few beers on, even some of their own. Decent spot for a quiet pint.

The team here are just lovely. So warm and genuine, it really does feel like you&#39;re popping into a friend&#39;s place. Noticed a few fun little details in the decor too, which was a nice touch.

Lovely spot tucked away in Canterbury. The seats were really comfortable, which made it a relaxing place to settle in for a bit. Just what you need for a quiet drink.

Kristina and the team are so lovely, really made our girls&#39; night feel special. We tried the new sausage roll and beef croquette - both were spot on. Perfect for catching up with friends, the service was just right.

The Wednesday quiz night is a nice midweek treat. The entry fee is fair, and it&#39;s a relaxed atmosphere. I did find the drinks a bit on the pricy side for what you get, but it was a pleasant evening overall.

Lovely traditional pub in the Old Town, perfect spot after a stroll by the harbour. The atmosphere is so warm and cosy. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made for a very relaxed visit. My only small note is that the bench seating was a bit hard after a while.

Been coming here for years. The prices are still fair, portions are generous. Hard to find that combo in a place with this much history.

That steak was something else. Cooked exactly how I asked, and the flavour was incredible. Honestly one of the best I&#39;ve had since moving here. The rest of the meal was solid, but that steak is the reason I&#39;ll be back.

The owner was so kind and checked on us often. There was some work being done in the kitchen, but they let us know what was happening. The wait was fine. My food was good, just could have been a little warmer when it arrived.

Had my friend&#39;s party in the private room. It was so nice to chat properly even with the main bar being packed for the rugby.
