About Albion Taverna
Albion Taverna is a Kentish weatherboard pub in Faversham, standing on the bank of Faversham Creek at 29 Front Brents. The menu pairs Mexican dishes with British pub classics, with fajitas and onion rings among the dishes and vegetarian options alongside. Creekside IPA is on the drink list. The beer garden faces the Shepherd Neame brewery on the opposite bank, so the seating looks across the water to a working brewery. Big sharing platters are available for groups. A circular creek and countryside walk begins outside the front door, and the footbridge leads on to the historic part of Faversham.

Customer Review Summary
Service is the recurring complaint. One large group was told they could not order starters or desserts, waited almost two hours for their food, and was handed boxes to pack leftovers themselves. Another says food arrived in stages with one order missing and no real apology, and a third describes staff ignoring people standing at the bar. A couple also find prices a bit high. Even so, the food itself draws praise from nearly everyone, including those unhappy with the service, and one reviewer says dishes arrived piping hot.

“Sweet place with tasty Mexican food. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and didn’t mind us being our board game to play on a quiet Tuesday evening! We really enjoyed it as a date night. Good vegetarian options.”
- Martin Sydney
“The most delicious Mexican food served in comfortable surroundings by friendly staff. A great place for a group meal with big sharing platters. A great location on the edge of Faversham Creek”
- Dudley Arthurs
“Absolutely amazing. Food was full of flavour and piping hot when served which a lot of restaurants can't do anymore. The atmosphere is always joyous and the service is always so quick. Definitely one of the best places to eat or visit in Faversham. Just make sure to book in advance as it is really popular.”
- Sophia
“This place is a Mexican restaurant with top quality food and fast service. The fajitas were my favourite and the onion rings were good too, they were so crispy! 100% coming back ♥️”
- Tim McGregor
“Went here during the Faversham hop fest in the evening of the Saturday when everywhere was heaving with people. They ran an efficient and orderly queuing system for drinks. The food queue was separate and super quick. Food was great.”

Highlights
“On the banks of Faversham Creek, the Albion Taverna is a Kentish weatherboard pub with a menu that mixes Mexican dishes and British pub classics. Sit in the beer garden and look straight across the water to the Shepherd Neame brewery on the other bank. A circular creek and countryside walk starts right outside the door, and historic Faversham is a short walk over the footbridge. Good for a relaxed lunch, or a weekend built around the walk and the brewery tour.”
