DINING AT OUR PUB

Traditional English Fayre, all British sourced, cooked to order & homemade, served from our regularly changing main menu, lunch menu & bar menu. We have fantastic sausages, free range chicken, simple fresh seafood - all sourced from producers who take pride in their products and an ethical stance in their production with an emphasis on seasonal produce.

Old favourites on any pub menu include Steak & Young’s Ale Pie and Catch of the Day in beer batter, but for those of you looking for something a little different we’ve got fresh and interesting salads, fresh fish and a full BBQ menu too.

In our Tapestry Dining Room you can experience something completely different, with our Grill Stone Steaks - served on volcanic rock so the steak cooks in front of you at the table.

If you still have room, you won’t be able to resist our homemade desserts, or perhaps a local cheese board.

Parrot pub CanterburyHidden away down a picturesque cobbled street in Canterbury, The Parrot is a beautiful Grade ll star-listed building dating back to the 14th Century. Steeped in history this pub was originally known as St Radigunds Hall and was built on Roman foundations in 1370 just inside the Roman City Wall.  At some point St Radigunds Hall became Simple Simons.  It was bought in 2008 by Young & Co.'s Brewery plc of Wandsworth - their first pub in this area of Kent.  Following a sympathetic refurbishment the Parrot is now a stunning drinking and dining venue in the heart of Canterbury.  Young’s renamed the pub the Parrot after hearing local rumours that it went by this name in previous centuries!  Externally The Parrot looks every inch the traditional beamed pub - this is reflected inside too with a traditional colourful look featuring three open fires and a tasteful Tapestry Dining Room.  The first floor restaurant shows the brilliant (and lasting) craftsmanship of the medieval period, with its oak knees, futtocks and three crown posts.  Today this building continues to stand strong and remains a fine example of a Wealden Hall House, and one of Canterbury’s most interesting pubs.  There is much to see and do in Canterbury with many historical structures in the city from various periods of history such as the Roman city wall, St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle.  The Parrot has a very safe and calm environment - always great.  This great pub has a stunning décor and, outside, a walled garden and BBQ.  Offering fine dining, cask beers and exclusive wines - what more do you need from a pub? The Parrot is just waiting to be discovered!
