Situated at the farther end of Canterbury on Wincheap, the pub unfortunately closed at the end of 2006 and is now operating as a Cafe called Solo.

Above pictures taken from Google maps September 2009.

According to research while open the pub had a beer garden which doubled as a car park and the housed had a parrot in the bar.

I was not really intending to do a comprehensive research into the pubs of Canterbury, it's far too large a job for me at present, but I will be adding information to these pages as well as photos, when I find or acquire them.
