Canterbury's first micropub-style ale house, opened March 2016 in a lovely 15th century half-timbered building, part of the historic Hospital of St John. The Thomas Tallis Alehouse serves an ever changing range of Kent beers from the cask, and a wide range of national and international beers in key cask, bottles and cans. The pub offers over 30 beers at any one time, of which two or three are from the cask. 5 or 6 locally produced ciders are served. There are 2 rooms at the front separated by a low doorway with a log burning stove. There is a rear snug with chairs and sofa. Generally a seat/table service applies here. The cask ales and ciders are served under gravity dispense from a temperature controlled cellar room at the back. Outside seating available. 60p discount on pints of cask ales for card-carrying CAMRA members.
