Faversham is well known locally for its large number of pubs and drinking holes per head, but the range of places to eat has increased over the last few years, leading to a decent variety to choose from.
Those wanting large fast food chains are out of luck though, with Faversham only having a Dominos pizza and none of the other famous burger or chicken restaurants.
A selection of options in Faversham, all within a short walk of the Assembly Rooms.
Most of the places to eat are in Preston Street (where you find the Assembly Rooms as well) and in the Market Square and adjacent West Street.
​
Preston Street
In Preston Street we have the Spice Lounge and the Prince of India Indian restaurants, Faversham's chain pubs are also here along with the Railway Hotel and the Limes, both of these are Shepherd Neame pubs, and two micro-pubs, Furlongs and the Creeker's Tap.
​
Market Square
In the Market Square you can find the China Village and a range of café and sandwich options. At the junction with Preston Street is the Maypole Thai Restaurant and tearoom. Just off the north end is Ask Italian.
​
West Street
In West Street you find the Sun Inn and the Raj Indian Restaurant along with a range of other places to eat and drink.
​
Other Options
If you fancy something a bit smarter then it's worth looking at the restaurant at the Quay Hotel or Posillipo. Both of these can be found on Belvedere Road, just a step away from Court Street and Abbey Street.
A short walk from the centre you can find other pubs, like the Anchor and the Phoenix, both in Abbey Street, and the Market Inn, on the corner of the Recreation Ground (the Rec, as locals know it), on East Street. Past the Railway Station the Elephant pub is on the Mall.
​
Food and Drink Shops
There's a small but efficient Co-Op on Station Road, by the long-term parking, just a couple of minutes walk from the Assembly Rooms. There's a McColl's shop on Preston Street, almost opposite the Assembly Rooms, and as you walk towards the Market Square there are several other corner-shops, newsagents and the like. Preston Street also has a Boots, near the Market Square end.
Two full-size supermarkets are in town, Morrisons is on West Street and Tesco is just off the north corner of the Market Square. Both are just a few minutes walk from the Assembly Rooms.
For anyone staying at to Premier Inn, or happy to take a longer trip, there's an Aldi close to the Premier Inn on the A251.
