The Best Restaurants in Faversham, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Absolutely amazing food.

Found this treasure after a long day travelling. From our phone call asking about availability to arriving and eating, the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was imaginative and well presented and we appreciated being allowed to park our camper in the rear carpark so we could relax without worrying about driving afterwards.

Not been here in a few years - understand there had been a few changes. Food is still good - venison roast with textures of onion and interesting scallop starter both memorable. Service friendly but quite leisurely in pace. Lovely spot and a nice log fire. Not as busy as we’d have expected it to be on a Saturday lunchtime. Worth a visit!

Visited today for lunch. What a lovely welcoming pub. The menu was perfectly small with a handful of specials. No pre cooked food here all fresh and tasty. Service excellent not intrusive just the perfect amount of required attention. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

I've been coming to this Italian restaurant in Faversham for years, both for quick meals and special occasions. Every time, I've had a great experience. Italian food is my favorite, and the new additions to the menu are absolutely delicious. The staff is always friendly, and the manager, Roxana, is incredibly helpful and caring. She went above and beyond during my last birthday dinner, making the evening extra special. Highly recommend this place.

We had a joyful time with the family at Ask Italian in Faversham. Roxana welcomed us with a warm smile and a lovely, charismatic attitude. The kids adore her, she pays attention to details, helped us relax by keeping the children entertained with little activities such as drownings and distracting them with playful interaction until we got the food served. Thank you Roxana for the great service. We truly enjoyed the experience and look forward to seeing you again soon! :)

First time visiting an Ask Italian, we went to the Faversham restaurant. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by our server, Yasmin, who asked us how many people, indoor or outdoor seating and if we had any dietary restrictions. Quick, efficient and polite service. Once we were seated in the walled garden (beautiful by the way) were given the menus and a sample of their in-house made lemon and raspberry -ade which was very nice. After approximately 5 minutes Yasmin asked if we’re ready to order, she took our order and came back after another 3 minutes with our drinks. We ordered starters and mains, the time between receiving our drinks to the starters arrival was perfect. Food quality, portion size and taste were nothing short of amazing. There was a longer wait between the starter and main, as expected, which gave ample time to talk to the better half! The mains again were brilliant, we chose from the summer specials menu, quality and portions were again perfect. Our server, Yasmin, was polite, cheerful and attentive, can’t ask better and to be honest can’t remember a time when I’ve had better service, she made the (rare) trip out that much more special. Overall, the quality, speed and atmosphere of this restaurant was amazing. I will not hesitate to return.

We came as a large group and attention to detail as well as managing our group were superb. Both Roxana and Claudia were fantastic. Thank you ladies and all the fantastic kitchen staff who manage to prepare our food quick and delicious. All the staff was very helpful and friendly.

The first time coming here, I will come back, staff are so friendly and the food is worth its weight in gold

WOW, I can confidently say that was the best breakfast I have ever had. I paid £13.50 and i would personally say it was worth more. The customer service was outstanding from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. Thank you Emma and Charlie for the most perfect welcome x

Brilliant atmosphere, decor was amazing. people who own/work were so welcoming and friendly and helpful, food was incredible very yummy! definitely worth the money, quality of the food is what your paying for. we will definitely be back! thank you emma and charlie for this morning

Came across this pub when on the hunt for Sunday roast and so glad we did. Excellent staff that were welcoming and friend. Mainly a meat menu (unsurprisingly as it’s called the Cow Shed!) but still had veggie gravy when requested. We had roast dinners and they did not disappoint, so yummy I forgot to take a photo. They were accommodating with food variation like no butter on the veg or two plates for the kids to share their food and our requests for extra apple sauce for our large group 😊. They have super cute events on the lead up to Christmas with gingerbread decorating and Santa coming for breakfast! The team also do pop up catering. I would suggest this to anyone needing a place for food without the loud music and still load of character, locals and atmosphere. P.S try the Frickles I dare you!

Went to the Three horse shoes yesterday to see what all the fuss was about... I was not disappointed... I had the the roast beef 😋 Yummy! melted in your mouth, lovely selection of vegetables! nice to see leeks on the menu ...great service and friendly. Would recommend

Really quaint village pub with the friendliest of staff (Dawn). Had a couple of glasses of wine in a relaxing, warm atmosphere. I didn’t eat but the menu looked amazing. I’ve heard good things about the Pizzas! Will definitely be back soon and absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a first rate village pub to sit, eat and chat.

Just had the most amazing dinner at The Three Horseshoes pub. The food was outstanding, huge portions and very reasonably priced. Friendly service by the lovely young girl, and the chef even came out to check on us he was very welcoming and chatty. Highly recommend this pub. We'll see you again on our next visit to the area. Best meal out we've had in a long time!!!

Amazing helpful staff, dog friendly, old English pub atmosphere 😍

Popped into this little pub for a drink - location is a bit off-centre for Faversham, down toward the quayside behind the big brewery - but really only a couple of minutes away from Market Street and the bustle of the town centre. Nice place inside, more spacious than it appears, with a bar in the centre and tables in areas to either side. Didn’t eat on this occasion, but the food menu looked excellent and they have good reviews, so will come back to try. The beer was Peroni; as it was and as it should be. The atmosphere was nice, relatively quiet and relaxed. Chill. Overall decent and well worth a visit.

Nice traditional pub and relatively spacious restaurant offering a rotating selection of real ales and very good food - my go to eatery in the town. They have managed to get the balance right between the restaurant and pub, therefore whether you are eating or drinking (or both) you will not be disappointed. Staff are great and nothing is too much trouble. Music early most Sunday evenings

Popped in for the 10 course tapas, the food is impeccable, the bar staff and front of house are very friendly and attentive, music tonight from Adrian Hackford is just creating the most wonderful of atmosphere’s. In Summary an exemplary example of a very well run establishment. Always look forward to returning. 10 courses & 10 ⭐️

Fabulous meal at the Quay with family. Booked at short notice for special pie and drink night. It was super and they catered brilliantly for me as a gluten free diner. Even made a special menu to choose. Food presentation outstanding. Definitely would return when in the area again.

If the sun is shining, this is the place to be when eating pizza. It’s a beautiful setting in the quay and with outdoor seating you can take it all in. The food is lovely to go with the surroundings. I got a pepperoni pizza which was thin and crispy with lovely toppings. The fries on the side were perfectly crisp coated in rosemary. They also do burgers here which looked amazing and I’ll be trying the next time I’m back. The cocktails looked good also and plenty of people were ordering them. Looking forward to coming back here over the summer!

Food was lush, staff were so nice, we visited while there was a drag brunch on (which sounded like amazing fun) and they let us know there would be a delay in the pizzas - worth the wait!

We love the vibe at Papa bianco. We arrived with our families and it was quiet but all the staff were helpful and smiley. I had an issue with the online ordering system and the waiter was more than happy to help. Food came effortlessly and in a good time for small humans. The Christmas special was fun, pigs in blankets pizza, maybe needed a bit of Worcester sauce! But tasted great. We enjoyed our chips and the atmosphere!

We could not love Papa Bianca’s anymore. My husband loves pizza so having this on our doorstep is amazing. The food is amazing always freshly cooked , hot, great choice of options. We love grabbing it to take away and sitting outside in the summer enjoying the atmosphere! Can’t recommend it enough, especially the caramelised onion garlic bread!

Exactly what you'd expect from an old riverside pub. Certainly full of nautical history. A little dark in places, but that's the sort of place it is. I went there on a festival day and, although it was extremely busy, the staff were smiling and cheerful. They've a few real ales and a limited selection of more commercial beers. Its opening hours/days may be limited, but although it's a little off the beaten track, it's worth searching it out for the experience.

What an incredible find! Oozing with 300+ years of history and character, every little corner has ambiance and amazing vibes bestowed by the excellent furnishings and low ceilings. It's a long walk from anywhere, so get wheels, and keep going past the point where it looks like you're driving into the middle of a marsh. Use a GPS satnav if you must. It's worth it. The barman is friendly and clever, there are great beers and real ales / cask ales (CAMRA recognized for 20 years?). The bacon and brie sandwich was far tastier than a lot of homemade-feeling places. It's dog and kid friendly if the little ones are friendly, and the locals are very friendly as well. Add to that, a big, lovely garden for sunny days!

Great 300 year old pub at the end of a lengthy unmade pot-holed lane serving great local beers straight from the cask, decent home prepared food and friendly staff. Well worth the drive out to the pub for the unique experience.

Fantastic little hidden gem of a pub nestled in a group of trees halfway around the Faversham creek loop. Really friendly staff and good beer 🍺

Friendly staff, traditional English pub, cosy place & nice drink & food. Plus if you are into bears, the name of inn and decoration are the same topic. Will defo have a sip of ales and grab some foods again when I visit Faversham.

1st time visit! Yet to eat, impressive basic ,apparently home cooked menu! Looks promising, nice welcome! Proper pub,no plastic bits! Old school! Like it👍

I just love this pub! Food, service and atmosphere are always perfect in an old characterful building. Reasonable prices, no frills just a good old fashioned pub. Recommend booking for Sunday lunch as always popular and on our last visit the super lovely chef came out of the kitchen to talk to me about vegan options which I really appreciated, thank you!

The Bear does it again! Brilliant Saturday and Sunday lunch. If they had rooms, we could just move in. To top it all, lovely roast potatoes just put on the bar, no charge, for everyone to enjoy. If you want to experience a proper home cooked British meal you need to go no further than The Bear. Great selection of beer and wine. Real sense of family run establishment. How lucky we are to have this marvellous boozer on our doorstep.

Nice setting almost on the water. We sat outside but there is good seating inside too. Car park right at the pub which is handy. The interior of the pub is very well fitted, nice bar, and the toilets are well kept and clean. The food was really good. No complaints there. The service was mediocre at best with our food arriving in stages and missing one order, and no real apology from any of the staff. Once again the food was tops. So all I all a solid 4/5

Pleasantly surprised by this little find on the backstreets of Faversham. It’s a pub that does Mexican food and actually gives a good account of itself. Wide range of beers on tap cover most tastes, as well as usual wine list offerings and cocktails. Not sure cocktails are quite up to scratch but the food more than made up for it. We opted for various types of fajitas (chicken, pork belly and vegan) and all were very tasty. General feel of the place is warm and clean (we were there on a cold wet night) with nicely designed features here and there. Staff were incredibly friendly and gave you the feeling that nothing was too much trouble. When other Mexican offerings nearby are often hard to get a table at, this now will go on our list of decent options.

A gorgeous pub on the Creek. Myself, the hubster and our friends went for our 2nd lunch together today. The friends had ribs, which looked amazing! Hubster had the classic beef burger and I has the grilled chicken caesar burger. Everyone enjoyed, but personally I lived the chicken burger. Chips are skin on chips which were really nice and ever so slightly salted. Staff were attentive, but not in your face. A lovely place for lunch or dinner. Highly recommended.

Delightful texmex restaurant, great atmosphere and delicious food. Service was friendly and prompt. I think the tortillas should have been bigger: too small for fajitas, and a bit more spice would have been more authentic, but these are small points.
