Atmospheric multi-roomed city centre pub opposite the main entrance to the cathedral. There is a small outside drinking area with great views of the Christ Church gateway. The pub is popular for food and is dog-friendly. There has been a public house on this site for over 500 years; a coaching inn called the Black Boy, stood here from the 1600s until 1908. A butter market used to be held in the square outside. Flint pieces in the cellars indicate it may stand on Roman remains and it is said to be connected by tunnels to Canterbury Cathedral.
