The Elephant, Faversham

Possibly the best pub on our week on the Saxon Shore Way. Quirky and interesting decoration that runs from the internal bar, through a covered patio area and out to a nice litle garden. Lots of pubby memorabilia. Good Beer Guide 2022 entry. My first Rother Valley Copper Ale was in fine condition. Would be my local, should I move to Faversham.

A lovely pub with a gran facade and even better-looking inside. There are five hand pumps on the bar, with a variety of beers from many parts. I had halves of Muirhouse Magnum Mild (which had come almost as far as I had), Tonbridge Golden Rule and Kent Brewers Reserve. All were in good condition, though the latter two were not really to my taste. The landlady was friendly and talkative, though after a while this began to grate a little, as she only ever talked about herself; there's a skill in changing the conversation to something your customers might be interested in, but she didn't have it.
