Pubs/bars
If you haven’t already noticed, Faversham is the home to the Shepard Neame brewery and you can sometime smell the sweep, hoppy aroma of the beer brewing. Brewery tours are available but, in the meantime, your new local is The Anchor at the end of Abbey Street. It’s usually busiest on a Tuesday and Friday night.
