Experience The Tyler's Kiln Canterbury
The Tyler’s Kiln Public House in Canterbury is about as charming a British country pub as you could wish to find. It’s got everything a pub needs: quality, homemade and traditional pub fare, a real sense of community, open fires and, of course, a well-stocked bar. Whether you’re just popping in for a coffee and a slice of homemade shortbread or a full three-course dinner from the a la carte menu that changes with the seasons, The Tyler’s Kiln Public House will leave an enormous smile on your face.
It has recently become infamous as 'Britain's Most Haunted Pub' and has appeared on several television series. Furthermore, it has won accolades including Pub of the Year 2016 by the Kent Food & Drink Awards, Best Pub or Casual Dining Venue 2017 by the Lux Food & Drink Awards, Best Home-Style Cuisine Restaurant 2018 by the Restaurant & Bar Awards, and Pub of the Year 2019 by CAMRA.
The bar area is dominated by a huge brick kiln roaring open fireplace that can seat up to 16 people on either side. There is a state of the art all-weather beer garden featuring protection from rain or shine at the touch of a button as well as overhead and under bench heating. Across the bridge you shall find the chef's herb house and a well stocked pond below a dripping copper tree water feature. Upstairs you will find a larger restaurant area, a private dining room, a cosy snug and even a museum area showcasing medieval tiles and pottery from Tyler Hill.
Advanced reservations are always a good idea if you want to be sure of a table as this place is a real gem in Canterbury. You’ll find it on Hackington Road, Tyler Hill.

Canterbury 17-08-09 (Part 2)
On the day I visited Canterbury it was very hot. The hotest day of my two weeks off.
I managed to walk around the majority of the town and was impressed at how clean it was, though the main shopping centre must have been opened fairly recently. The older section was a bit strange in that Debanams had been buying up other independant shops when they collapse and adding it on, so the shop looked a bit hotch-potch, though I did buy a nice bag there for myself for work.
The biggest dissapointment for me was the Cathederal. I only wanted to have a quick look at it, but it cost £7.50 just to go in. What a rip off. Having said that there was a large queue of foreign visitors waiting to go in.
It was the same in the vistor information centre with staff advising foreigners which bus t catch to visit Herne Bay and other towns.
At the end of a tyring day I headed for the bus station and picked up a few leaflets and maps. I took a few pictures and there were two other people doing he same (Ignoring me - as usual).
There seems to be a park and ride bus permanantly parked up at either end so we got on.
As we were tired and our hands full off bags we stayed downstairs for the journey back.
On returning to the site you put your £2.50 in the machine with your ticket and it stamps it. On driving out you feed your ticket in the machine and this opens the barrier with a cheesy American have a nice day or something.
Good site though. I will use it again if I go there as it is easier and cheaper than the town center.
Where to next I woner? We shall see.

Colin Renfrew - Excavating at Canterbury: learning basic skills (3/79)
To listen to more of Colin Renfrew’s stories, go to the playlist:
Baron Renfrew of Kaimsthorn is one of the most eminent archaeologists in the world today. His prolific work includes innovations in the radiocarbon revolution, the prehistory of languages, archaeogenetics, and the prevention of looting of archaeological sites.[Listener: Paul Bahn]
TRANSCRIPT: I think it is very fascinating, the sensation that you're digging and so you're revealing information all the time and although I didn't know very much about what I was finding, one - if one's working on the sites a while, one knows one's looking for post holes or something, and of course on a Roman site then one's finding stuff all the time, it's not like some prehistoric sites where you find one flint a day or something, you're digging up pottery all the time, nice Samian ware and so on, and the occasional coin which is naturally a highlight if you're digging, and so I enjoyed that very much and certainly the sensation that you're trowelling and you're being asked by the supervisor to try and follow this layer and then you find there is a floor and you can, if you do it the right way, you can uncover the whole floor rather successfully, the actual materiality, the quality of the soil, I think, is, is something one gets to have a feel of. I don't think at that time I learned to be a very wonderful excavator but there is, in many ways in archaeology, I think the physicality of the subject is attractive, that you do things and you're digging and then you're - sometimes you're using a pickaxe and shovelling it away and so you're actually actively involved and so I enjoyed it very much but I don't think I was, particularly, I wasn't given any huge responsibility. I wasn't drawing many sections at that time or, I suppose I was keeping a notebook but I think there was another site supervisor but I was still quite young, sort of 13 or 14, 15. It wasn't until rather later that while I was up at Cambridge, I went down to Wroxeter, to the field school there, and that was much more systematic where one was keeping notebooks and writing them up in the evening and drawing sections, that's when I learned to draw section properly and so on. And I think it is helpful to have those basics because it's nice to know how the recording system works, but certainly being in the excavation trench seemed very natural after- I was at Canterbury for several years in succession, a couple of weeks at Easter and usually a couple of weeks in the summer. I think Sheppard Frere put up with me very well. I'm not sure I was a great deal of use but they were all very nice, and certainly one does do things. I remember finding individual grains of corn and thinking that's rather interesting, is that interesting? No, that's of no interest, throw it away at once, and in later years, of course, opinions change on these matters but it was - it was a very good experience.
