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

Absolutely amazing food.

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!

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 🍺

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.

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.

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!

Really great pub here! The food was divine and the garden is a good size, came here for a friends birthday I would deffo recommend. Only missing 1 star simply because my food order was missed and took a fair while to get it but everyone else was served promptly 😊 They also have the alcohol free gin which was lovely to see as not many places have the 0% options

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

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.

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!

When You are here in Faversham have a rest at the bear inn! Simply good! This pub is so wonderful British! We were glad to be here. ...and taste the glorious SHEPHERD NEAME, which comes from here! As a German I like a good beer - especially Pilsner, but when I'm in England I only drink local! Of course! On my first England trip many years ago SHEPHERD NEAME was the first English beer I ever had, unforgettable! "Spitfire" is my favorite but a Master Brew is also very nice! AND: Don't drink when You must drive!!

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.

Very friendly, lovely food and service. Definitely recommend

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.

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 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! :)

Great choice of beers and a nice warm place to spend a couple of hours on a cold January evening. My wife and I travelled to Faversham by train and from the tap to the platform is less than 5 minutes. We'll definitely be back.

Love this bar - one of my favourites in Faversham. The quirky hipster décor makes for a really good atmosphere and it’s always a really nice crowd of people. Good selection of beers which change regularly.

This is definitely something different in the town. Following the concepts of both a taproom and micropub and merging them the end result is a well decorated, clean but small establishment where you can drink beers you will not get anywhere else in town. No, there are no cask ales, but there are keg ales and the only real difference it one is poured under pressure and more carbonated... There is nowhere else you can get a hazy new England IPA or raid the fridge for a great selection of speciality beers, which is again is unique in town. I have heard this place getting some stick for the prices and serving in 1/3, 2/3 and pint measures, I can imagine these are the same punters that would rather drink brown flat shepherd neame 'traditional' beers. Regarding the pricing, the lagers are comparative to other pubs, ales usually are cheaper but they are not here so a bit steep is you are an ale drinker. The Belgian beers in the fridge however are in my mind cheap. Consider that you will pay £2.50 in the supermarket for a duvel triple, you can get some really tasty Belgian triples here for £3.25 and upward of this. Staff are helpful, attentive and knowledgeable, they are quick to clear glasses and wipe tables. I really like it here. Not sure I'd sit here all day, despite the efforts there is something missing on the character front, but to pop in for one or two it's perfect.

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

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 😍

Awesome Sunday roast. Juicy rib of beef which for £19 I thought was very well priced. Real ale also great and in very good condition. Should think we’ll be back again soon.

We wanted a nice Italian meal and was delighted to find this restaurant. It is not your average Italian with lasagne or spaghetti bolognaise. It is a more adventurous menu and a little more fine dining. The restaurant is set next to the estuary that when we arrived was at low tide, but we started to see it come in by the time we were finishing. We both had the Salmon E Gamberetti for starters, baby prawns in a marie rose sauce with smoked salmon on a bed of rocket and they did not skimp on the smoked salmon at all. For mains, we had Fusilli Aumm Aumm, which I swapped for penne pasta and the Zuppa Di Pesce. Both were absolutely delicious and very filling. We hope to visit again to try some of the other dishes that all looked very nice indeed and will definitely be recommending to family if they are in the area.

Lovely restaurant located near the creek in Faversham. We visited as a group for a 50th birthday celebration and had a fantastic time. All the food was made to a high standard and a great selection of wines. Staff were excellent and patient with my questions about the food and drink from some of our party. I had the salmon and King prawn dish, and it was fresh and full of favour. The pizzas looked incredible, as did the pasta dishes. We visited many times in the past, and it never fails to impress.

Excellent food, wonderful quayside views and breeze. Extensive vegan menu - everything you could ask for. Attentive and friendly staff.

Had a nice family lunch here. Some decent specials and the staff were brilliantly busy and attentive, friendly and polite. The food was good but a few mistakes (sautee potatoes were extremely salty, calamari seemed fresh but was chewy). Everything else was spot on so really a fair 8/10 for food. I will return on a quieter service for a second opinion (the place was busy and rightly so).

Amazing farm store of local products, fruits and vegetables, butcher, bakery, wines. This is certainly a place you want to go to.

Great selection of produce. Great meats and cheese counter. Slightly more expensive than regular supermarket but still good price for the offered quality.

Large selection of produce within the main building. A wide selection of street food available outside. If you found this review helpful please click on the heart icon, thanks.

I heard great things about this place and it didn’t disappoint. The farm shop has such quality fresh produce 👍loads of choice as well. We had a scrummy lunch in the cafe as well. Friendly, efficient and very tasty. Great looking cakes but we didn’t have room. Wheelchair and pram friendly in the car park and inside.

Popped in for a drink. Beautiful pub. Will definitely be back if we are in the area

We were made very welcome, staff very polite and friendly, they do basic pub grub, witch is cooked, and prepared to very good standard, and they do small plates as well as normal size meals.

A decent pub with good, standard pub grub. The beer works too. The Castle is on the Lower Road, not far from Bysing Woods and the Gunpowder Mills (also a short stroll to the water). The garden seems to have been redone well. Decor is part pub, part cafe.
