The Thomas Tallis Ale House

Call Directions Website

The Thomas Tallis is an ale house selling up to 30 beers in cask, key keg, bottle and can with wines, ciders and prosecco also available.
(328)

The Thomas Tallis Alehouse serves a wide range of beers from the cask, from key keg and in bottles and cans. We offer over 30 beers at any one time. The beer selection will constantly change as we seek new and exciting brews from around the world so don't get too attached to a particular beer! Alongside the beers we have a selection of great wines including from the fabulous Barnsole Vineyard at Staple, near Ash. We also stock prosecco. Ciders also feature and will be showcasing the excellent cider makers of Kent and further afield. As with the beers the cider selection will change so you can sample the wide range that exists. We do not serve meals but we do sell Kent crisps and peanuts and will add Ashmore cheese and pork pies to the food offer in the near future. You will be assured a warm welcome in The Thomas Tallis but we ask that you do not use your phone to make or receive phone calls. We have no objection to texting, searching the internet or taking photos but a noisy phone will cost you a £1 fine which will be donated to the Pilgrims Hospice. We look forward to your visit and hope you enjoy your experience.

Our October charity quiz is happening tomorrow evening, and this month we’ll be raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support 💚

📅 Wednesday 28th October
⏰ 7–7:30pm start
💷 £2 per person – cash only
👥 Maximum teams of 4

As always, your quiz entry goes towards the charity.

Good b**r, questionable knowledge and money raised for a very worthy cause. We’ll see you tomorrow! 🍻💚

Cold, windy and generally a bit grim out there today… luckily, we know a cosy little spot🔥🍺

The fire’s lit, the pub’s warm and we’re open from 2pm–11pm!

And because it’s Friday, our fresh delivery of pork pies & Scotch eggs from Aylesham Family Butchers has landed too 🤌

We’ve also got cheese & crackers, crisps, nuts and, of course, the famous pork scratchings if you fancy something to nibble on.

A warm seat, a good pint and a proper pub snack. Friday doesn’t need to be much more complicated than that!🍻

See you from 2pm… first one in gets dibs on the cosiest spot 👀🔥

One of our favourite little moments of the year ❤️🔥

The wood burner is officially lit again.

For the next few months it’ll warm cold hands, dry damp coats, have chairs shuffled suspiciously closer to it and probably convince more than a few of you to stay for one more.

It’s been part of countless conversations, catch-ups and quiet pints over the years, and now it’s ready for another winter of them.

Fire’s on. Come and get warm. 🍺

We’ve decided Tasting Tuesday is officially a thing🍺

Why should Thursday get all the glory with “Thirsty Thursday” anyway?

If you’ve been eyeing up a few different b**rs on the board and can’t quite commit to a full pint, our flights of thirds are the answer. Pick a few, line them up and conduct some very important taste testing of your own.

You might find a new favourite. You might confirm that your usual is your usual for a reason. Or you might just enjoy three different b**rs instead of one.

All perfectly valid outcomes, if you ask us.

So, Tasting Tuesday it is. Who’s joining us? Open at 5🍻

🚨THE WAIT IS OVER🚨

After all that very important “research”, GADDS’ Green Hop Ale is NOW POURING at the Tallis 🌿🍺

Made with freshly picked Kentish hops, green hop b**r is about as seasonal as it gets – there’s only a short window each year to enjoy it at its freshest, so if you’ve been waiting for it, now’s your chance.

Dave’s already done the quality control. It passed.

Not a Green Hop fan? No problem. As you can see, the rest of the board isn’t looking too shabby either. We’ve got plenty of cask and keg to work your way through – and that’s before you get started on the c***r, w**e, cans and gin.

It is Friday after all. Seems rude not to. Open now🍻

Right then, who’s feeling clever? 🧠🍺

Our September charity quiz is this Wednesday 23rd September, and this month we’ll be raising money for Cancer Research UK 💜

As always, every penny of your entry money goes to the charity, so round up your cleverest mates (or the ones who are particularly good at confidently guessing), grab a drink and settle in for an evening of questionable general knowledge and friendly competition.

📅 Wednesday 23rd September
🕖 7–7:30pm start
💷 £2 per person – cash only
👥 Maximum teams of 4

Come and put those useless bits of knowledge rattling around your head to good use – all for a very worthwhile cause.

See you Wednesday! 🍻

Important research is underway… 🍺

Dave has been out investigating this year’s Gadds’ Green Hop Ale, purely for professional purposes, obviously.

Brewed with freshly picked Kentish hops, green hop b**r is about as seasonal as b**r gets – there’s only a small window each year to brew it, drink it and enjoy it at its freshest.

Judging by the amount of “research” taking place straight from the cask, we’d say the 2026 batch is looking rather promising.

Keep an eye on the b**r board – Green Hop season is upon us. 🌿🍺

Tough job, Dave. Glad you’re willing to make the sacrifice.

Sunday Scaries? Have you tried a pint?🍺

Monday can wait. There’s still a perfectly good chunk of the weekend left to enjoy.

Although we’re closed tomorrow, so admittedly we’re feeling pretty smug about the whole Monday thing.

Sorry.

Anyway, pint? 🍻

If you’re looking for a proper pub this weekend, you know where we are🍺

Good cask ale, proper c***r, plenty of interesting b**rs on the board, pork pies, scotch eggs, cheese and a seat somewhere inside a rather old building in Canterbury.

No need for an occasion. Bring a mate, pick something you haven’t tried before, find a table and stay for as long as you fancy.

And with the weather starting to turn and the evenings getting that little bit cooler, the snug is beginning to look like a very good place to be again.

The log burner’s still enjoying its summer holiday for now, but we suspect it’ll be back at work before too long.

It’s Friday. The b**r’s on. Come and get comfortable🍻 Open at 2!

A very special Saturday at the Tallis 🤍

Today we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating Scarlett & Rico’s wedding with them, as they began married life surrounded by their family and friends.

There were plenty of drinks raised, lots of laughter and a whole lot of love packed into our little alehouse – and we couldn’t have asked for a lovelier reason to close the doors for a few hours.

To Scarlett & Rico, thank you for choosing the Tallis to be a small part of such a huge day. We hope today was the perfect start to the ride of your lives together.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! 🥂❤️
