The Canterbury UAD states that The Steam Packet, according to police reports, was quite a rough and disorderly inn during the 19th century and cases were reported in the local press of drunken behaviour.
In 1856 a police inspector reported that a drunken and disorderly company was on the premises at 2am on the Sabbath. The licensee in 1837 was Charles Allen; in 1846 William Bigg and in 1848 William Pitt. The Steam packet closed as an inn in 1914. It is now a guest house.
