Very busy for late afternoon visit but managed to slot into this tiny bar, being a typical micro, with another and a dog in my party. My first visit and prompt, friendly service.

Evening, full as I passed earlier but thinning out by 7pm. Landlord regaled us with some old music celeb stories - seems that the Small Faces, Average White Band and Boomtown Rats all have local connections.

Earlyish evening. Walked here from the station and past 5 other pubs in the street, including the Faversham โ€˜spoons. It was noticeable that Furlongs was by far the most inviting and probably the busiest.

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

Faversham's first Micropub, at the Market Place end of Preston Street, which opened on 18th December 2014 having previously been open for a short while as a pop-up during the town's Hop Festival in the autumn. Shop conversion from a wet fish shop. Small oblong room, sparsely decorated, with large central skylight. High wall mounted benches provide the seating at high tables. Small bar counter in the far left hand corner is equipped with 6 wall mounted handpumps and 1 on the counter top for the real ale and cider dispense. Unisex toilet at the back. Lost the apostrophe in its name with recent new signage!

We have visited this pub 73 times, seen 195 different beers and tried 101 of them.
