Great to once again frequent this great micro, professionally run and organised in the current climate, which didn’t ruin the great atmosphere you always get in here.

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%)3.40ExceptionalJust 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 Stout4.50ExcellentTruly a wonderful beer and for me the best cask stout there is.
Hopdaemon - Green Daemon5.00ExcellentAfter 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 Ale4.30ExcellentLovely no nonsense bitter

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!

Opening time but somebody beat me to being the first customer. The place filled up very quickly with a good atmosphere. I cancelled my visit to the next pub and stayed here.

Knew this Micropub was going to be busy by the amount of condensation on the windows and upon entering my thoughts were right. A very busy session in this wonderful “proper” Micropub.
