i’m writing about my experience from september last year as i feel people need to know this could be their experience before going. me and my boyfriend had booked for a roast for 1pm and when we arrived it was quite quiet so we took our time with ordering. food took an hour and a half to show and was all frozen store bought ingredients (unfortunately didn’t get photos of this). we then reached out to the management to let them know about our experience and was offered a free meal as a second chance to show what they were really like so we took the offer. on this occasion my boyfriend had got the battered halloumi and fries and i got the lamb cutlets. another 50 minutes later and this is what we were given !!! to say the least we were shocked and haven’t returned since.

When we checked into our hotel in Canterbury (House of Agnes), we decided to walk into Canterbury to visit a delightful 18th century pub that we visited in 2021. It wasn’t as delightful as we remembered because the gray-headed bartender with an earring lectured us (two women) on the need to call for a reservation as opposed to reserving online with such a short window. It was 4:00 p.m. The restaurant was empty except for 12ish soccer fans drinking beer near the bar area. To be far, the waiter warmed up a bit, but when we left, the restaurant was still empty. Why lecture American tourists dumping their dollars in your restaurant, especially when it was empty? Just a thought.

Had a bit of a disappointing Sunday Roast. The local beer from Kent was nice and the environment is nice but the Sunday roast was very very bland, undercooked chicken, quite a small chicken and the gravy was very bland and flavourless. Was a bit disappointed because everytime I had Sunday roast they were amazing but this one was my first bland one. Would recommend this pub for everything else but maybe skip their Sunday roast.

Came here for a beer and a sandwich, having been told by a member of staff outside that they did sandwiches and noticing some on the menu. However, the member of staff inside was very offhand and said "this is not really a sandwich place", I showed him that they were on the menu and he said that there was a very limited selection and suggested we go to a sandwich place up the road. So, of course, we left, found another pub and had an excellent sandwich and beer there. I have never been treated in such an unfriendly and offhand manner and would never go there again. Not as if it was a cordon bleu restaurant!

The best roast dinners in Canterbury! I’ve tried them all and their roasts are the best. A little more costly than some but the difference in quality and taste is worth the extra splurge. It can be hard to get a table though, sometimes they let you book and sometimes they don’t. A couple times I’ve been told quite abruptly by staff that it’s walk-ins only and then gotten there not long after calling and been refused a table. It’s a shame because the atmosphere is so great otherwise. Definitely recommend if you can get a table.

Had a quick drink here back in November as we were visiting the local theatre. It had a nice atmosphere and we promised ourselves we would come back again for a meal. Went yesterday for a bite to eat and couple drinks before the theatre. It was early so fairly quiet. We were shown to our seats and the member of staff explained to order at the bar. We had a really lovely meal. It was just simple and very tasty. Drinks are good too. Really lovely atmosphere and nice staff. We will be back! Thank you

My husband and I arrived at about 5:30pm and asked if they were serving meals - we were told yes, but there would be about 30 minute wait as a large party had just ordered ….. there was a table of 6 and a table of 4!! We ordered quickly and sat at a table. There was clearly a disagreement going on regarding billing of the nearby table of 4, and the two members of staff were not discrete in their “opinions” of this when discussing this at the bar, within our earshot. We waited for over an hour and in that time, only 1 table’s meals were produced. (The table of 4) We continued waiting - no other customers ordered and in fact, a couple of groups came and went in that time without ordering. After over an hour, we finally mentioned this to one of the staff who just said “yeh, we’re busy, sorry” - literally only 12 people there!! We asked for a refund and this was not challenged in anyway - not even to say “it’s almost done” so clearly our meals had not been started to be prepared. We were quickly given our refund and no apology! Hugely disappointed as we wanted to support local business on our visit to what was a beautiful city. Went a short walk up the street to Prezzo and we were served within 10 minutes of arriving! The best reception was given to the dog that arrived from upstairs and with the number of photos and references to dog visitors and treats, it is clear who takes priority.

AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!! menu states 2 courses from the set menu for 17.50 but said we couldn't do main and desert although that isn't stated on the menu. The person at the bar and chef said it would be fine but the managers wife said it wasn't even tho it had been agreed upon earlier. When it was sorted after abit of back and fourth after many customers have left because they heard the problem with the menu. We ordered the food and it took 55 minutes for the main and over 40 minutes for the desert. For context, there was only 1 other table of 4 who ordered food in the pub. Food was okay but not worth the hassle and stress of trying to order and the wait for it to arrive. The ice cream was the size of my little finger ( no exaggeration ) . Just go to pizza express next door, cheaper , better , friendlier and they have a menu which makes sense.

I would like to express my extreme dissatisfaction with our experience at the Thomas Beckett Pub in Canterbury. Our visit on 13th April left us not only disappointed but physically unwell. Firstly, within hours of dining at your establishment, four of us experienced severe vomiting and diarrhoea. It is deeply concerning that such an outcome occurred, indicating a potential lapse in food safety and hygiene standards. Moreover, the limited vegetarian options available were shocking. Our vegetarian companion was left with little choice, chips and onion rings. Despite opting for what was available, they still suffered from gastrointestinal distress. Additionally, the pricing was exorbitant for what was offered. One drink and one main course per person amounted to an unjustifiable expense, especially considering the lack of variety and quality. The attitude of the staff only compounded our dissatisfaction. One male staff member's response to our request for additional ketchup was both dismissive and unprofessional. Instead of accommodating our simple request, he proceeded to lecture us on condiment wastage, which was wholly inappropriate given the circumstances. Overall, our experience at the Thomas Beckett Pub was abysmal and has left a lasting negative impression. I urge you to address these issues promptly to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

The pub classic fish and chips was decent but disappointed to be told that we were too late to order dessert after our main meal… surely it couldn’t be too hard for the bar staff to offer some simple prepared dessert options as it wasn’t even 9pm….

We used to use this pub all the time up until about 8 or so years ago, and we really enjoyed being back just for a drink on route to a concert. We had a nice time (ignoring the group of very drunk men at 7pm that is who thankfully were not sold any more alcohol and subsequently left) it might even become our regular again.

The only person in the pub at 1pm walked in waited for a response as I was shocked the only one there waited for few seconds from bar person who was Nicely dressed in a tie and waistcoat then got a response. Went to bar saw a menu for £10 first choice of drink wasn’t available as punch prints menus for all pubs. Well done Wetherspoon got menu for each pub. Ordered the sausage and mash with peas and onions rings with Amstel only £10. When the food came out it was hot even the dish/ bowl was hot clean knife and fork with a napkin. Very clean all throughout even the toilets. The only negative point is Mother’s Day display was on bar in corner and the quiz date was out of date. Visit was Tuesday 12th march 2024. Nice background music nice volume level and choice of music.

It looks like we're not the only ones who've run into issues with the bald, grumpy bartender! Having visited a couple of years ago for a friends birthday, the guy in question seemed absolutely fine and friendly. However, friends of ours had been telling us since that he'd become obnoxious to deal with. We'd always remained sceptical, until... I visited a couple of weeks ago with a friend. The bartender / manager seemed furious the whole time, it felt like having people asking if the pub was open for lunch at 12 was a bad thing. When we did decide upon a table ( in a near empty pub ) we were promptly told that we would need to move if a bigger table came in. Then we were told the food we'd ordered would take extra long to cook, like it had been our fault! It was hugely embarrassing and to say I felt I'd let my friend down recommending the Beckett was an understatement. When we told other friends they instantly said 'bald guy and waistcoat?' They also related how they'd had issues and wouldn't return. What's awful is seeing multiple issues on trip advisor referencing the same guy, yet the owners haven't done anything about replacing him. He clearly can't make his mind up about what mood he's in - so why should anyone be waisting their time? With the cost of living crisis so high, it's a real treat to go out now so you would have thought pubs would've been extra conscious of being friendly at least. Let alone the fact the pub is surrounded by a range of really great other places. After our visit we went to one down the road which was great, friendly staff and great service. Should've eaten there. Such a shame, the Beckett used to be great, but like many others - we'd never return.

The Bartender made my experience uncomfortable. They don’t accept Amex (fair enough) but when I tried to pay with it - he said ‘we’re not paying for your flights’, which I felt made this personal. Terrible service. Standard pub. Nothing special apart from the pics of all the dogs on the walls. I wouldn’t recommend, far better pubs in Canterbury.

Stopped by for lunch after a recommendation from staff at Canterbury Cathedral (a must see when in (Canterbury!!) The Barman was very welcoming and there were multiple menus at the tables. Order from the bar, carry your drinks back to the table and enjoy the atmosphere as you wait for your food. Which arrived very quickly. Had the southern fried chicken strips, side of chips and tomato basil soup. Great for a cold January day! It was delicious!! Chicken was juicy and the batter was tasty without being too thick or heavy. This pub is very dog friendly and has a menu for doggie treats too. If you bring your dog get their picture taken for the walls and beams. One of the top pubs we have been to on this 2 month adventure!

The food and atmosphere is wonderful. We have completed our PhDs at Kent and returned to Canterbury after 13 years. We loved this place then too. Unfortunately the owner did not have any eye contact with us at all! When we knocked exactly at 12, he was grumpy to open the door. And I was there for sunday roast but I know that the meat might sometimes be too rare for my liking but when we asked about it, his reply was rude and condescending saying if he sold the meat I liked they wouldn't have been a good pub. I understand the point but together with no eye contact it came across pretty rude. After us, someone wanted to order J20 and he said he wouldn't sell it as it has 8 sugar cubes in it. As I said, all valid points but people are there not to be lectured but to have a good sunday lunch with family. I was so upset by this that it made me use tripadvisor commentary after so many years. On the plus side, they have an incredibly sweet dog and everything else was great!

The pub is traditional/old fashioned, the dining area intimate/cramped, the atmosphere was noisy, not helped by three barking dogs! We waited a long time for our meals, but to be fair they were busy and I was told that everyone had ordered at the same time. The meal was fine when it did arrive.

We were due to visit the Christmas market and wanted to find a dog friendly pub that served a Sunday roast. We chose the Three Tons not just for its good reviews, but also because their roasts were advertised for £9. We didn't have very high expectations, but how wrong we were! We opted for turkey (there was also beef) and when it was brought out the portions were plentiful, great roast potatoes (I'm very fussy about these!), a good selection of vegetables and it was all really tasty! We were a group of 5 and all our meals and drinks came to less than £60 - amazing value. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and I'd like to make a special mention of the young lady behind the bar who was working very hard but still gave us a very high level of service. They even cooked our (very fussy) dog a portion of chicken! Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Beautiful pub on the beach. We tried to go a few years ago and it was HEAVING so never got in. So glad we tried again today. They were so kind as to squeeze in our group of 10 with no hesitation, the food was perfect and servers lovely. No table service but it is a pub I suppose so we didn’t mind! Had the seafood platter special. Crab was sublime. And even better a view of the sea out the window. Love it here.
