Bishops Finger

16th century pub in the heart of Canterbury

Now under new management, and we can't wait to welcome you!

With its charming olde-worlde exterior, the 16th Century Bishops Finger stands out as one of Canterbury’s most distinctive historical pubs. A must-visit Kent pub, and just stroll away from the historic cathedral and the city’s major attractions, makes it the perfect sanctuary for a refreshing pint - for locals and visitors alike.

Hidden behind our beautiful 16th century façade is our secret! At the rear of the pub you will discover one of the largest beer gardens in Canterbury, a tranquil space in the heart of the city.

Watch the game inside before enjoying a beer and a mouth-watering meal in our pub garden - perfect on a summer’s day.

You’ll find a great choice of traditional cask ales here (including Shepherd Neame’s ‘Bishops Finger’, naturally), alongside an exciting range of beers and wines from independent producers around the world.

There’s great fresh food too, with dishes ranging from tasty bar snacks to brilliant burgers. So if you’re looking for a family-friendly pub in Canterbury with food, football, and fabulous beer, let Bishops Finger point the way.
