Phoenix Tavern

Went to this pub on the way to whitstable. Did a little research and felt this one was the winner. Was not disappointed, the food was lovely and big portions. The pub itself is delightful, very cozy with low ceilings and a warm fire.

We popped in after a day at Whitstable and en route to London. We were surprised to find a pub in Faversham, the home of Shepherd Neame, not tied to that brewery.
We were pleasantly greeted and served from a wide selection of ales (Harveys, Timothy Taylor, Adnams, Badger, Whitstable, Wells, Fullers, Sharps, Gadds and more!). The fire gently glowed in the fireplace and everyone exuded a sense of wellbeing, especially the various dogs which were (gently) gamboling about. Lunch had clearly satisfied many of the punters present. We weren’t in the market for food but perused the menu — impressive without being too fussy, hit the right note.
Loos were clean and functional. Overall ambience was good. The Phoenix Tavern was well lit, without being brassy. Decoration was unfussy yet smart. I’ll be back!

Unusually for Faversham not a Shepherd Neame pub. But this is no bad thing with a strong selection of beers and lagers on tap.
This is a good drinking pub and a great pub lunch with an inventive menu that includes Pasta, Seafood, traditional pub lunch dishes and a very good tapas menu.
There is a separate restaurant area for the evening meals. Tend to be more expensive but not over priced. Food is very good also but I have only had the evening meal there once.
A good sized garden as well.
One of my favourite pubs in Faversham to drink and lunch! Rare in that it combines a good drinking pub with decent food.
