The Area:
The Canterbury Tales stands in Canterbury city centre directly facing the busy Marlowe Theatre and just off the historic high street. More than 7,400 adults live within a ten-minute walk, and the area sees heavy daily footfall from tourists, students and theatre audiences. With 73% of residents in the higher-affluence bands and no nearer pub competitor to the theatre, the site is ideally placed to become the go-to traditional pub for pre- and post-show drinks as well as everyday city trade.
The Offer:
Under the pub will serve core and premium Heineken beers and ciders, rotating cask, quality wines, spirits, low/-no options and bean-to-cup coffee. The site is wet-led (no food offer), with scope for a simple bar snacks option.
