Top 8 pubs that’ll keep you warm this spring
Brits have been celebrating pubs and bars reopening since April 12th, but there seems to be one thing getting us down and sending us home early… the great British weather. However, these Canterbury pubs have come prepared to keep us warm while enjoying their beer gardens.
The Parrot
This 14th century pub is one of the oldest buildings in Canterbury, and reportedly one of the oldest pubs. It boasts a gorgeous sun trapping garden along with heaters for when the sun is social distancing a bit too much.
The pub is exclusively taking walk in’s until the indoor area of the pub reopens, which is great news for us who love a spontaneous trip out.
Type of pub: Fine Dining
The Dolphin
The Dolphin is a self proclaimed traditional English pub, with one of the biggest beer gardens within the city walls.
The pub recently increased their seating from 54 to 280 after its huge £62,000 renovation, which thankfully for it’s customers, included a huge tent to provide shelter from spring showers as well as electric heaters.

Two Sawyers
This backstreet traditonal pub is a hidden gem. Situated on Ivy Lane the pub has a small (but mighty) beer garden, and a hefty gin menu!
The small capacity allows customers to have more intimate time without the noise that comes from crowds…
