Fantastic Refurbishment Planned
The Cross Keys will benefit from a full internal redecoration. We’ll be installing a new raised trading area to create more usable trading space throughout, adding bespoke fixed seating, reviving the bar counter with new back fittings and adding new lighting throughout whilst renovating the existing timber flooring.
Externally, we’ll be redecorating and adding new signage and lights to the front of the building to drive curb appeal to passing trade. The rear beer garden will see a huge improvement with the addition of new planters, pergolas, decking and festoon lighting. The Cross Keys will be the go to premium local in the area, an inviting and comfortable place for a drink with friends and a fun night out.
Busy Location – Great Demographics
The Cross Keys is located just outside of the old city walls in Canterbury. Canterbury is well known for its vibrant culture with a bustling tourism trade and student population. There are great demographics around the pub, with over 6,800 adults within a 10 minute walk – expanding to 21,000 in a 20 minute walk.
