The Limes, Faversham

A traditional town pub currently owned by Shepherd and Neame entered through a good sized bar at the front with an inglenook, carpeted floor and dartboard. There is a pool room behind but that can't be used at lunchtimes. There is a dining area at the rear with a small smoking area and car park behind that. There is also a walled garden. I found both staff and regulars to be very welcoming and friendly. It's a GBG pub and it's very much on the CAMRA circuit. There is a quaint collection of chamber pots adorning the windows. Freshly cooked food is available. Three ales on, 2 from Shepherd and Neame and a guest. I had the latter, Hook Norton's Lion, which was fresh and very pleasant. It's close enough to the station to break a journey for, and I would definitely include on a town crawl.
