The Parrot, Canterbury

A food oriented pub in a well preserved, ancient building with tasteful modern music going on in the background. I walked in and asked for a half of Master Brew, which was willingly served, then noticed that all the tables, including an upturned barrel, were set up for dining. Well, it's Valentines, isn't it. I soon spotted a small table just around the corner with no accoutrements and took my beer there (no beer mats). In fact there are five hand pumps but only two Sheps beers on, Whitstable Bay being the one I swerved; Bishops Finger was turned round.
