What Broccoli Heaven likes about The Phoenix Canterbury:
We came to Canterbury for a week from Nottingham and the Phoenix was 50 yards from the house. What a fantastic old school boozer with a brilliant real ale selection and four different lagers. Bob is a true gentleman and his wife is just as welcoming. Loads of characters in there and made us feel super welcome. This place really made the holiday and is a true British pub that sadly are becoming few and far between. View all feedback. What Mike W doesn't like about The Phoenix Canterbury:
27-7-18 Walked in around 2 hours before the T20 cricket started up the road Kent vs Sussex. Plastic glasses provided as ‘dishwasher broken’ no mention of this issue in advance of pouring the drinks. Asked about ordering food ‘Don’t do food’ Total disaster of an excuse for a pub. Moving on to a new pub shortly. One with beer glasses, food and staff that have a grey cell or two hopefully mixed with some social skills.

read moreThe Phoenix in Canterbury is a cozy pub away from the city center that offers a locals atmosphere and fun live music on weekends. The new and updated venue serves great cask ales, including Gadd's #11 in cans. With a warm welcome, delicious food, and friendly staff, it's a popular destination for those who enjoy real ales and hearty meals. Although there have been some issues with floaters in the beer, overall, The Phoenix is a charming and welcoming spot for a relaxing afternoon or a night out with friends.
