Garden was busy by 1pm so we sat inside which also became fully occupied by late afternoon. Potential customers queuing outside only to be told the pub was at full capacity in these Covid times. Amazingly the one member of staff on manages to greet and take details at the door, serve, do table service inside and out, clean and change casks all on her own and the service is excellent, other establishments take note!
Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | | Nice soft floral notes with hint of citrus |
Kent - Beyond the Pale | 5.40 | | Delicious dry strong pale of the finest order 👍 |
Burning Sky - Arise | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
Northdown - Papworth Victory Best Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Wonderful Sunday afternoon session in sunny Faversham. For me this Micropub is without a doubt one of the best there is, superb beer selection served in tip top condition.
Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | Just has to be a 5*! A fine example of a perfect pint, incredible condition, immaculately polished pint with a tight brilliant white head with incredible lacing with a wonderful tingly sensation on the tongue and an almost cream like mouthfeel....
Exceptional 👍 |
Goacher's - Crown Imperial Stout | 4.50 | | Truly a wonderful beer and for me the best cask stout there is. |
Hopdaemon - Green Daemon | 5.00 | | After the Burning Sky Plateau this was like a massive smack in the face! Intense strong flavour. |
Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Friar's Ale | 4.30 | | Lovely no nonsense bitter |
Marble - Pint (was 3.9%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

Before my visit to this great Micro I had the pleasure of walking and shopping in the town, can I just say that Faversham should be extremely proud of itself as the Market town this Christmas was stunning, shops buzzing, great market stalls, brass band playing in the square, you simply could not of wished for anything more, the town was as traditional as you can get and truly felt like Christmas's of old. Inside the pub was no different, as ready flow of customers before a brief quiet period then before you knew it the pub was heaving, great atmosphere!
