Welcome to The Granville!

Just 10 minutes from Canterbury’s centre—yet a world away from the concrete and commotion—our beloved country pub has been at the leafy heart of Lower Hardres for over a century. It’s the perfect place to celebrate your wedding reception, surrounded by rustic charm and stunning countryside views.

With plenty of indoor and outdoor space, you and your guests can truly relax—whether it’s cosying up by the log fire in winter or sipping cocktails beneath our majestic tree in summer. From laid-back, country-style gatherings to elegant sit-down dinners, we’ll tailor every detail to bring your vision to life.

Our dedicated Front of House Manager, Tim, will guide you every step of the way, working closely with our Head Chef, Carl, to craft a wedding day that’s unique to you. We love helping couples bring their vision to life—from the atmosphere to the menu—ensuring every detail feels personal and special. Plus, we’ve partnered with some fantastic local suppliers, from DJs to florists, and are happy to share our top recommendations to make your day unforgettable.

Our Head Chef, Carl, has thoughtfully put together a selection of menus – each designed to complement different occasions, celebrations and times of day.

Our food is always homemade, using locally sourced ingredients for great quality and flavour – we’re so lucky to be near hundreds of incredible Kentish suppliers. Whether you’re picturing a casual buffet-style meal or a more traditional sit-down celebration, we’ve got a wide range of menu options for you to choose from - get in touch to see our menus!
