Quaint and traditional
A brilliant beer house and one of the town’s most historic buildings, The Bear serves up an unrivalled experience for Faversham’s ale aficionados.
Even for non-beer drinkers though, the Bear Inn is a special spot. Quaint and traditional, it’s a pub packed with character - with centuries-old oak beams in the main bar salvaged from a ship built at the nearby boatyard.
Two further bar areas each offer cosy corners in which to relax and unwind over lunch or a pint, and there’s also a lovely patio to the front of the pub overlooking Faversham’s Guildhall and marketplace.

Excellent, atmospheric pub in Faversham that sells great food and great beer. My family and I popped in today on the off chance that we could get some food. The bar staff couldn't have been more helpful, getting us seated within 5 minutes. A decent selection of food on the menu with good choices for vegans. I went for the fisherman's pie which was really tasty, served with veg that were cooked perfectly. As the pub is near Shepherd Neame brewery there is a lot of SN beer on tap, a point of Bear Island IPA and a point of Bear Island Lager washed the food down lovely. The pub is in a building that dates back a few hundred years, low ceilings, roof beams and an open fire added to the charm. 4 mains, 2 cokes and 3 pints for under £65, I thought was great value for money, taking into account how great the food was. I'm starting guitar lessons in Faversham so will definitely be back.
I really enjoyed our visit to the Bear Inn. I love the layout with its different bar areas. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. We also had a bit of food at lunch. I would highly recommend the pork belly bites they were amazing! I would definitely come back and try some other dishes off the menu!
The Bear does it again! Brilliant Saturday and Sunday lunch. If they had rooms, we could just move in. To top it all, lovely roast potatoes just put on the bar, no charge, for everyone to enjoy. If you want to experience a proper home cooked British meal you need to go no further than The Bear. Great selection of beer and wine. Real sense of family run establishment. How lucky we are to have this marvellous boozer on our doorstep.
Cheep and cheerful Sunday lunch. I had the pork and apple sauce baguette which came with roast potatoes and gravy. Was tasty, staff were super friendly.
When You are here in Faversham have a rest at the bear inn! Simply good! This pub is so wonderful British! We were glad to be here. ...and taste the glorious SHEPHERD NEAME, which comes from here! As a German I like a good beer - especially Pilsner, but when I'm in England I only drink local! Of course! On my first England trip many years ago SHEPHERD NEAME was the first English beer I ever had, unforgettable! "Spitfire" is my favorite but a Master Brew is also very nice! AND: Don't drink when You must drive!!
