Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Phoenix Tavern
One of the town's non-Shepherd Neame pubs, this historic tavern has been given a thorough, semi-modern makeover but thankfully retains some character because it hasn't been fully opened out. The main bar area by the entrance is about 50% set aside for those eating, and a separate dining room can be found off to the left. However, another (smaller) seating area can be found behind the massive fireplace (which was in use on my visit). With three of the four handpumps in use, I found London Pride, Hop Head and Harvey's (£4.25) being poured.

A very appealing town centre pub with a focus on real ale, notable for NOT being a Shepherd and Neame house, which reopened in 2009. The ground floor of this Victorian house has been knocked through to form a J-shaped bar with wooden floors, an inglenook, beamed ceilings and wood-panelled walls. The staff were very pleasant, the locals were friendly and a convivial atmosphere prevailed. Home cooked food made from local ingredients is on offer. They run an annual beer festival both in the pub and on the nearby town quay. Five ales on; I had a pint of Otter which was excellent. This is a pub well worth visiting at any time and I shall make an effort to come to their beer festivals in future.

Faversham's Best Pub. The 14th century Tavern boasts it's own car park, good quality, freshly prepared food and a great selection of beers. The Real Ale is kept to a high standard, as acknowledged by the pub being included in the CAMRA Good Beer guide. The Phoenix Tavern has been nominated for and won several awards, from my experience all of which are well deserved. The staff are friendly and efficient. the beer garden is great for the summer, and the two inglenook fires and chesterfield sofas make it so comfortable in the winter you won't want to leave!
