Pub of the Week: The Albion Taverna, Faversham

The Albion Taverna is a friendly, waterfront pub serving excellent Mexican food. Located across the swing bridge, on the West side of Faversham creek, it enjoys a very pleasant waterside setting.  There is an ample garden area for sunnier days, and inside the pub is peaceful, cosy, and atmospheric  - the perfect retreat for winter’s day.

The Albion offers an excellent range of Mexican and English dishes, with something to offer for every appetite and taste.  For nibbles, you could choose their own freshly made guacamole served with extra light, airy pork scratchings or the Crispy Calamari starter, served with lime mayonnaise.  There is a wide choice of mains, offering everything from Smoked Chipotle Meat Balls to Gourmet Burgers, and Devilled Crab.  There is also a separate menu for children, who can enjoy three courses for £7, with colouring pencils and activities on the menu to keep them busy.

It is the perfect destination for a mid-week lunch with friends. The lunch menu offers excellent value for money – choose from dishes such as the very generous ham, egg and chips, a rustic baguette and chips, or deliciously spicy Huevos Rancheros, all from around £7 each. Plus at The Albion, every customer also receives a voucher offering ‘buy one get one free’ meals for a return visit the following month.

For drinks, there is an excellent, well considered list of wines from around the world, as well as ports and champagnes. On the bar there is a choice of cask ales, usually including the Shepherd Neame seasonal ale, and for those who fancy something a little more exotic, there is also a good choice of cocktails.
