First time visit for me. Dark and somewhat cold - there was a big air con unit on the ceiling that seemed to be keeping the temperature down. Nicely laid out place, with large fridges of lambics and the like, if you're into that kind of thing.

Early afternoon. Faversham Hop Festival underway. The tables have been taken out of the main bar for the festival leaving plenty of standing room. Very busy.

Pub 2 - early afternoon. Very pleasant, a few others in. Soft music. The back bar was empty but looks to be a well decorated additional space.

Lunchtime visit around 1. My first visit since the rebranding. Definitely a keg-led house now with 13 craft beers on the board ranging from £5 to £6.50 a pint. These can be purchased as 1/2 or 2/3 pint as well. Two cask ales, slightly cheaper. The front bar seems larger than I remembered and with only four others in it felt rather lacking in ambience. Other cask was a 5.0% stout from Sometimes Brewery called Moot.

Wylam - Fleek4.20ExcellentSuperb pale ale at £4.60.

Looks to be closed and undergoing a renaming and refurbishment. Sign now says “The Creeker’s Tap” - as in Faversham Creek presumably.

The pub is found in Faversham, Kent, ME13 8PE.

A two roomed pub, in the style of a micropub, created from a glazing shop conversion in Preston Street which opened on 1st December 2016. Real ales, ciders and keg beers are sold from the bar counter in the bare boarded front room through a line of wall taps. More comfortably appointed rear room up three steps. Inevitably majors on selling products from the owning Whitstable Brewery. Closed autumn 2020 for refurbishment and re-naming. Reopened August 2021 with a re-launch and initial expectations are of it being expensive and possibly keg beer oriented and initially reported as selling no cask beer now. 2 handpumps were eventually brought into use in late 2022 to rectify this.

We have visited this pub 22 times, seen 59 different beers and tried 20 of them.
