The Bull Inn, Faversham

Attractive-looking old Shepherd Neame pub located just a short distance west from the town centre but in quite a quiet spot. Two very traditional main rooms, the public bar occupying most of the frontage (with a patio beer garden beyond)and a saloon bar to right-hand side of the main entrance (seemingly not always in use). Just Master Brew (£3.90) available from the four handpumps divided between the two counters.

A traditional town pub with 15th Century origins, currently owned by Shepherd and Neame. The former Lounge and Public Bars have been knocked through to form a single L-shaped bar with a pool table, raised platform for live acts and dartboard, while two large TVs dominate the room. The Saloon Bar has remained separate and discrete, though it's just as noisy as the other bar. Both bars are carpeted, and exposed timbers reveal the building's original structure. The staff were friendly, the locals a decent bunch, though the banter was somewhat robust – bull, indeed. Ales on were Spitfire and Late Red, while Shepherd and Neame Lager and Hurliman were available for non-ale drinkers. A pretty decent local, worth including on a crawl or dropping in for a quick pint.
