KENT’S COSIEST Winter
Pubs
PUBS ARE SOMETHING WE DO EXTREMELY WELL IN KENT. NO MATTER
WHICH AREA YOU LIVE IN, OR ARE VISITING, YOU ARE SURE TO FIND A COSY
WINTER PUB WITH A ROARING LOG FIRE, BEAMED CEILING, WOOD-PANELLED
WALLS AND PERHAPS EVEN SOME OF OUR NATIVE HOPS FINISHING THINGS
OFF PERFECTLY. HERE ARE SOME OF THE COSIEST OF THOSE COSY PUBS
TO ENJOY AS WINTER TRULY SETS IN.

The Sun Inn // Faversham

The Sun Inn has been around for many centuries; since the 14th
century, in fact. Step inside and you’ll find a range of gorgeous original
features including dark wooden beams, a lovely courtyard, and of
course the impressive inglenook fireplace. Not only can you eat delicious
food and select your favourite tipple from a large choice of drinks –
including a number of different real ales for the aficionados among
you – you can even stay the night in one of the 12 lovely rooms.
Although the pub itself doesn’t serve breakfast, the attached coffee shop
next door certainly does. The Pullman is the kind of pub you imagine when you think of
somewhere warming and welcoming, complete with a roaring open
fire to top things off. For comfort and that special feeling of serenity
that only comes when you find your ideal space, The Pullman is
the place to be. The food here is excellent, as is the atmosphere, and
head chef, Robert Clements aims to use only the most local and fresh
produce he can. Everything is cooked to order and the specials board
changes weekly, so make sure you take a good look at it every time
you go inside.
