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 is reported as selling no cask beer now.
We have visited this pub 18 times, seen 52 different beers and tried 16 of them.
