| Was recently back in the city and had to give The Parrot a once-over since my (fond) memories of cutting through the smoke/fug when it was Simple Simon's. The (very) new landlords are making a good start although sanding and varnishing various bits of garden furniture in the courtyard whilst folk were drinking and eating was a bit odd! After a nice drink in the courtyard, came back in the evening and tried - OK demolished - the Wagyu burger: very nice indeed (if it is genuine Kobe beef then all the more amazing for the price)! I fondly remember Indian summer afternoons in the courtyard many moons ago and think the current staff are doing a good job to keep this place near the top of any discerning ale-tipplers 'must visit' list in Canterbury. OK it might be Sheps, but when served well I'd happily chose 'Finger' any day. DocD - 28 Mar 2012 14:48 |
| Shame they got rid of Bert the parrot though. Doubt I will go in again, used to go in every Friday. bozjones - 18 Mar 2012 10:36 |
| I was surprisingly pleased on my recent visit to the Parrot. I still hark back to the days of Simple Simons however there appears to have been another change of landlord and there was a decent selection of ales available. I'm not a fan of Shepherd Neame regular brews but the seasonal beers are better. The Amber Ale and Early Bird were both decent pints and I noticed Incubus and Exmoor Ale were also available. The staff were chatty and knowledgeable and were happy to provide tasters. The building itself remains a classic. I was glad to hear that live music may return to the pub! outtamehead - 18 Mar 2012 10:28 |
| This pub was one of the stops on my son's Stag Night (yes, he is a student). It is an olde type pub, very old. There was a nice selection of mainly Shepherd Neame beers on. A lot of people were eating. We sat in the garden, playing Connect 4. Unfortunately, I was driving so could not sample many of the ales. I made my excuses and left just as they were dressing my son up as a woman. HornchurchJohn - 6 Jun 2011 11:47 |
| Popped in on New Years eve for a couple of hours on an impulse - what a gem of a pub this is - never knew it existed, will definately be back on a normal night. No need for a big build up or what would sound like an advert, just visit it & see if I'm wrong. mysteriousJ - 2 Jan 2011 14:28 |
