About us

Heart Of The Country

Full of character, The Granville is divided into a comfortable sofa area, restaurant & bar area serving traditional Kentish cask ale, distinctive international lagers and a good selection of Kentish wine by the glass.

The History of The Granville

The Beginning

First registered 1881, The Granville has been a well-known & much loved part of Lower Hardes for over a century.

Becoming part of the Shepherd Name family in 1960, The Granville largely retains many of its original features & charm with a modern country flair.

Surrounded by rolling fields & countryside, it's ideally located only a 10 minute drive from Canterbury City Centre.
