Nice atmosphere, good beer and tasty food!
If you are big eater the portions may be a bit small. Luckily for me they couldn't make a kids portion of fish and chips, so I had my daughter's leftovers 😅

It’s an ok pub , quite noisy when there is a match on.
Food was fair. Fish and chips were ok but the pie was as if it was reheated as if it was forgotten from lunchtime.
Sausages were a bit weird regarding taste.
Also , not very kids friendly pub

Great English pub with friendly staff, nice food and live music nights. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. Highly recommended.

Called around 6 and was told the kitchen closes at 20:45, ordered at 20:30 and was told the chefs were leaving and the kitchen was closed and absolutely finished. Management told me I should have made a reservation. Classic miserable venue who’s only skill is pulling pints.

Really enjoyed it in here on Friday and Saturday. Food was tasty and well priced. The Guinness was good and has a banging selection of snacks. Loads of screen for the football and boxing. And the manager was really sound, seemed like he really cared, very friendly! Gets busy, and can see why.

Canterbury is the kind of place that’s primed for a pub crawl. And yet, locals and visitors alike tend to find a favourite and stick to it – like the Bishops Finger. The Bishops Finger is head and shoulders above the competition, one of the area’s most in-favour drinking holes thanks to a huge range of craft ales and great accompanying grub. In summer, the doors are flung open and punters spill on to the street.
Staff are enthusiastic and eager to ensure if you have a great time.
It’s small enough and busy enough to encourage table reservations.

Came across this place as the Sat Nav took us to the Station Road West car park and this is the first place we passed. Greeted by friendly staff & given the option to eat in the rear garden. (Nicely shaded with Skysports on tv). Ordered our drinks then staff took our order. As shown in pics, we ordered 1/4 kilo of wings (comes in 1/4, 1/2 or 1 kilo) which tasted Southern fried, Vegan burger with Smug Veg loaded fries (soya burger with carrot & cougette, fries had smashed avocado, sliced chillies & a sweet sauce) & Streaking Pig buger (cheese, salt beef, bacon) with Messy Cow fries (Chilli, jalepenos & cheese). The Messy Cow fries do have a nice heat to them. The burgers were nice & juicy & the wings cooked perfectly. The wait for the food was around 10 mins (all other customers looked to be drinking only in the heat). No vegan option for dessert so only 2 of us has some, ice cream trio & a nice sticky toffee with custard. Would recommend if visiting Canterbury
