The Railway Hotel, Faversham

A Victorian red brick corner pub opposite the station, the Railway is no longer a hotel as such but retains the name. It is a Shephard and Neame house. A single large bar retains much of the original Victorian splendour, although the carpeted floor takes some of the style out of it. There is also a large garden at the rear. A mature, pleasant atmosphere prevails, the staff are friendly and the locals a mixed bag. It also has a bar billiard table. Five ales on - I had Platform 5, brewed (or at least branded) by S&N for the pub; it was a decent pint. This is a former GBG pub and could be again. Worth breaking a journey for if travelling by rail.
