Quick info
About Furlongs Ale House
Furlongs Ale House is a micropub at 6a Preston Street in Faversham, with a small interior and a covered courtyard garden at the back. The cask ales and ciders on tap rotate regularly, and the team sources local beers where possible. Cherry cider is among the ciders, and a shelf of gins gives a spirit option for anyone who prefers it to beer. The kitchen does not cook food, so the offer is snacks alongside the drinks. Dogs are welcome, which makes it an easy stop for anyone walking with one.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the beer selection at this Faversham micropub, with local ales and ciders on tap and a rotation that one reviewer says brings in a different ale or cider regularly. Close behind is the covered courtyard garden at the back, which several describe as a sunny spot with plenty of seating, so a full bar need not put anyone off. Also singled out are a gin shelf, a cherry cider and a few wines. Staff come across as friendly and knowledgeable, with one reviewer calling the welcome very friendly and another saying the barman really knows his stuff. Reviewers also call the pint prices good and describe the seating arrangement as inspired for such a small place. The only gap anyone notes is that there is no cooked food, though snacks are available. One regular-minded reviewer says the place looks as if it has been there forever, and another points out that the beer mats get rearranged into chaos for the barman's amusement.

“A pleasant little micropub in Faversham. Looks like it's been here forever, but is actually not so old. Some decent beers too.”
- David Burns
“Some very nice beers, as expected in a micro pub. There is a covered garden with a lot of seating so don't let a full pub put you off.”
- Richard Wakefield
“If it’s got ‘ale house’ in the name then it’s my kind of place. Furlongs hits the target - plenty of beers on offer, helpful staff and an interesting venue, what more do you need?”
- Magnus Mühlenbock
“Great craft pub in Faversham. Always a different ale or cider on tap.”
