Strongers . left this review about Two Sawyers
The narrow Two Sawyers has a front bare boarded bar where banquettes sit under the windows either side of the central entrance and an exposed brick fireplace with burner sits on the left-hand wall. A thin strip of wood between supporting posts up the centre of the pub create beer shelves that separate the seating to the left from the serving counter that runs up the right-hand wall. Flagstone is found at the rear where there’s more seating and a rear exit that gives access to a thin decked beer garden with seating that leads to a raised paved ‘snug’ at the rear.
Premium keg was available alongside St Austell’s Liquid Sunshine, Timothy Taylor’s Blonde and Hawkshead’s Mosaic. I realised in here that there is a huge fluctuation in prices with the 3.9% St Austell coming in at £3.10 for a half. I thought it was ok in here, but I can’t see a return visit when the beer is over 50% dearer than the superior New Inn around the corner.

An old town pub in the student quarter outside the ringroad, which appears to have undergone a transformation since previous reviews. It feels small inside, yet in a cosy way rather than being cramped. The walls, floor and ceiling have remained as before, though the yappy dog has gone and there was no issue taking our dogs in. The young staff were engaging, friendly and professional, though they were a bit over-worked by some of the entitled idiots who don’t know how to behave in a pub. Food was standard pub grub, but it was well cooked and served with a smile. Three ales on: ‘fraid Not from Exeter, plus ABA and Mild Mannered from Laine. All were in very good condition. An enjoyable visit which I’d be happy to repeat.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Two Sawyers
Side-street pub just east of the city centre that has somehow previously escaped my attention on many previous visits to Canterbury. Anyway, the interior proved to be a bit larger than I was expected because it extends back some way from the narrow frontage and features various small seating / dining areas (although the bar area itself is a bit cramped). Weetwood Old Dog (£4.40) and Wainwright were being dispensed from two of the three handpumps, with Sharps Atlantic coming next by the look of things.
