The Limes in Swale

Oh dear, sad to say that the food didn‘t even reach the dizzying heights of being disappointing. If they ever get a chef, then we might be tempted to return, but then again…….. The young lady who served was very friendly and helpful.

Nice little pub - held a little get together in the restaurant.

Staff friendly food came out quickly. Meat pie pastry was like cardboard probably 4 tiny cubes of beef filling, veg & chips where ok.Friends had chicken kebabs, these where very dry. Where has proper pub gone.

Went for dinner with my wife, we had souvlaki chicken skewers and greek salad, grilled lamb kefta with babaghanouge, Hash brown potato puffs and duck tostados, very very nice, complement to the chef👨‍🍳, lovely atmosphere, best service by Jake and Louise, very friendly, we enjoyed every moment and bit of food. keep it up.😁👍

Folk Club, upstairs on Wednesdays, is great!

The food was very tasty. Our steak (well done) was cooked to perfection. The staff were very polite and friendly. Highly recommend and would happily return. Thank you for a lovely meal.

In the function room all ok except very hot not much air.

Lovely food and a good choice too and also very good , lovely pub and a very good atmosphere all the staff really friendly except for one girl behind the bar with long ginger hair I found was quite rude

Disappointing! We had to wait nearly 45 minutes after ordering, apparently because there was only one chef working when there should have been more. But when we ordered we were given no indication of a longer than usual wait. When the food arrived my wife's order of the oriental tofu dish.included rubbery broccoli and very tough chewy mushrooms. My plant- based pulled pork pieces seemed dried-out and consequently no that digestible. We told the member of staff about our concerns and she did promise to pass them on to the kitchen. Not sure we'd risk anything other that a burger and chips in future.

Proper pub with nice beer, friendly staff and a good range of beer. Oh and the beer's nice

Friendly staff and a lovely pint of singha lager.

Top class food delicious. Lovely staff nice setting amd top class pints!!

Best wings in the area, but very inconsistent. Often visit and stated no wings available.

Very warm atmosphere, food was good.I give only 4,because the barwoman served me with a very bitter red wine instead of sweet I asked

Great pub grub and a good choice of drinks

Good entertainment, good food good beer. What more could you want!

Great food. Service staff very friendly. Great place to meet and eat.

The food was good but service was very slow. It took more than an hour for our food to arrive, which was challenging with 2 young children in our group. They did apologize for it, but we still felt disappointed.

Food took over an hour to arrive - all fairly simple dishes to make e.g sandwiches. When I eventually enquired, the waitress said they ‘were just pulling it together now.’ Food came out bit by bit across the 10 mins that followed. They were also missing a lot of different dishes - we had vegetarians with us, and couple of dishes were unavailable. Food was pretty tasty and pretty good value for money - but the wait time was excessive. Alongside this, we sat in the restaurant, which was empty, apart from loud music - if I was going to go again, I’d eat in the bar - they maybe forgot about us? As a side note, I do feel a bit bad for the server, who had to tell us that our table was needed at 6, despite us, at 5:45, saying we wanted desserts. He was clearly a nice guy and just doing his job, the food was not his fault - he did take drinks off though. We appreciated the gesture.

Family meet up before NYE, pub is always busy but really comfortable

Service extremely slow on a quiet evening, half of the menu was not available, very disappointed. Will not be rushing back.

Tasty burgers and options available for vegetarians. However it took some time to get our food. The worst was when it felt ages before our table got cleared and then we were asked about dessert. The two babies next to us were crying a lot of the time. Perhaps next time we'll ask for a non children section since we have two elderlies that can't managed noisy environments.

We had a table reserved but it took 1.5 hours to get our food. When we asked the owner how much longer it would be he said “ There were three tables in front of you, it’s just how it goes”. We were not impolite, it wasn’t that busy, it was a Tuesday night and it made us feel quite uncomfortable like we’d been out of line enquiring. Our table was cleared but no desert was offered. Food was nice but a very poor service. Shame.

Busy Saturday night, but great service and atmosphere

A group of us had a very pleasant afternoon in a lovely venue. Friendly helpful staff, very nice lunch with very good service.

Good pub to start your visit to Faversham. Very close to the Railway station. Good beer, warm and friendly staff.

Great pub, liked the food and drink. Friendly staff, great company with friends from Medway and Faversham

Good food, nice set up. But still attracts a knob crowd occasionally. No management presence to weed out the loud mouthed lager louts. EDIT: foods gone downhill, used to be a nice place for it but now it's only a notch up from the Spoons down the road at three times the price. Reducing stars.

Stop off for lunchtime nibbles and the dirty fries were lovely accompanied by the prawns

Don't be put off with the noisy pub. The restaurant at the back is quite nice

Spent a good afternoon/evening here. Good pub atmosphere and some tasty food

Staff friendly and a good pint of beer. Went there for the folk club made to feel welcome and had an enjoyable night.

Lovely Service from the bar staff who had a lovely flirtatious smile amd eyes. Food was.nice but a bit of a wait. Nice atmosphere and sports on TV.

Fine, but no bitter. A Shepherd Neame pub without its most famous ale. Bring it back!

Always a realy good atmosphere .. lovely friendly staff.. amazing love music and the food Is really good and good value

Disappointed no roast dinners available on a Sunday however we were asked to chose from the main menu. Staff very friendly and we were seated and given a drinks order straight away., We chose the beef burger and chips, a charcuterie board as one of the mains and the Greek chicken skewers with grilled pitta Tzatziki and Greek salad. The charcuterie board was mistaken as a starter even though the lady took the order understanding it was a main so this arrived way ahead of the rest of our meals. She did offer to take it back yo the kitchen but as it was on the table we said it could stay, It was mainly a small sliced dry baguette along the length of the rectangle plate very thinly sliced salami and cheese crumbled into a pile with a tiny pot of chutney. The burger looked nice when the rest of the food eventually arrived and the chips were hot. I had the chicken skewers. I have to say the chicken part was very nice however you cannot chuck three or four sliced little black olives in a normal salad and call it Greek!! A Greek salad should have slices of cucumber slices of onion and slices of tomato not chopped to tiny pieces and it should have at least a chunk of feta on top if not cubes of feta within ! The tzatziki was in a tiny tiny bowl and was nothing like how it should be made or taste. If I did not know what it was supposed to be I would have no idea from the flavour. The small "grilled" pitta was so pale and hard on the outside if it saw the grill for more than two seconds I would be surprised. Certainly not what was promised sadly. We have not been to the Limes for a while as we moved away but we used to go all the time as it was great for lunch and evening meal out, it seems to have changed from a nice relaxing ambiance to a rowdy noisy bar with pricey drinks and food on the side. We will not be choosing to visit again if we are in Faversham but if you don't mind spending around £21 a head for a small plate of food and a beer whilst sitting trying to have a nice lunch out with loud rowdy mob at the bar then go and see for yourselves. Weatherspoon's would probably be quieter!

Just a pub, pub food but everything was so delicious, service excellent and very reasonable. Recommend the Duck Tostados (mmmm) and the Souvlaki (chicken skewers) and Greek Salad, my son had the Beef and Ale Pie, also excellent.

We haven't been here for a while but our return was a little disappointing, Whilst the staff were very friendly ,we found the service disappointing, My daughters meal turned up first and she had eaten it before ours turned up The food was nice but the whole visit was ruined by the feral low life who were seated at the front of the bar who's swearing was beyond a joke. Add to it the level of shouting ,we felt we probably would have been better off at the Wetherspoons across the road. None of the staff seemed bothered at all by the Fs and Cs being constantly bounced around ,I really wondered why we paid the extra to eat there.

This place is great. A nice old style pub, with friendly staff and a great range of real ale. The food menu is varied and the food itself was great value for the money. Will definitely be returning!!

Nice range of dishes,everyone commented on the quality..beer good too...staff very helpful.

Always great service and a great atmosphere here!

Didn't stay long as we were on a bit of a safari but the weather was nice and we supped a pint in the garden before moving on. Atmosphere good. Liked it

Shame no Sunday Lunches served but OK pub food, friendly service and dog friendly areas.

Great food and drink selection. Good service and friendly staff Great function room

Lobster had reserved the seat I had my eye on

Nice pub, lots of staff, all very freindly, pub was dog friendly too but drinks were £££

Lovely food and good service, I went here for lunch with a friend. The booths made it easier to have a conversation.

Pleasant pub for a Friday afternoon pint and bite to eat.

We hired the function room for a birthday get together. It was perfect with a bar, access to outside space, fabulous buffet and great staff! Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend! Thanks Andy and the team

Great little pub, with friendly staff and fantastic food. Recommend the Large Mucky Cow Fries - but only of you're hungry!

Great atmosphere for a drink and very friendly staff, next time will be trying the food as looked Great and heard it is too

Five of us ate just away from the main part of the pub. Really really nice food and range of dishes. Tiny bit disappointed as Burger menu seems to have shrunk(change of chef maybe?) so we didn't have burgers but those that came out looked excellent. Usual Shepherd Neame range of beers/ales well kept. Friendly service as well. Be aware that there are screens up for football etc so ask for a quieter tablet if you want to avoid that. Recommended.

Decent pint of Spitfire. Excellent chilli chips plate, burger overdone but perhaps lost in translation.

Impressed at the response to feedback The Limes now has an excellent range of choice for vegetarians including the return of the mucky chips. So all stars returned. Tasty food, good service. Will definitely return for some of the other veggie options.

Very nice decor clean 👌 pleasant staff. Didn't eat so cannot comment. Would return.

Lovely meal for group of 8. Service was abit slow but food was good once it arrived. Good sized portions and good selection of dishes.

By no means my first time here, the Limes this afternoon was fantastic.

We spent the evening here to watch the Europa cup final.The landlord very kindly let us take over the back room so that our young grandsons could also watch with family and friends.Our son and family sampled the food which they said was delicious.All in all it was a very enjoyable evening.

The food was excellent, the staff were excellent and the entertainment was excellent. The atmosphere felt like something was going to kick off (it didn't). All in all and excellent pub.

Great pub, friendly staff and best of all they show the football. Food is pretty good also

Great service, great food and drink...oh and live sports!!! Recently very helpful when I organised a party there too!

Had a lovely meal with my partner for our date night! Food was served promptly and staff were very friendly. They even recommended us drinks as we were stuck for choice! Even though it was a football night, there was still a pleasant atmosphere. Would recommend!

Our first visit to the Limes, and it was surperb. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ordered food, which was amazing, well presented, hot and good portion sized 😋 All 5 of us enjoyed ourselves. Well done 👏 to all the Team, including the Manager.

Great pub, landlord was very friendly and welcoming.

The staff are friendly and customer service is great. Drinks service is adequate and priced as expected. Food service on the other hand is unreliable, on more than a few occasions I’ve planned to eat here for Dinner to get to the site and the kitchen is closed due to staff shortages, on todays occasion the staff were asked what time food is on until, with the GM present I was informed 9pm, to later turn up at 7:40 to be told the kitchen is closed, as the chef has been in the kitchen on his own all day. This is the fourth occasion this has happened in the last 2 months. In the nicest way that’s not my problem, however had I been told it was closing earlier then I would have planned around it. I understand their are problems within recruitment but maybe you need to consider how to overcome these problems rather than hiding behind them all the time. Get this boxed off and you’ll have a healthier P&L as people like myself won’t be returning customers due to the unreliability of the food service, I have tight timelines and breaks when in your area and can’t be messing around looking for alternatives so will just plan to go to another business (not a Shepherd Neame managed or tenanted pub).

Went for food and a few drinks with friends to watch the Arsenal v Man City game, the bartender very kindly put us in a back room with virtually our own TV and dining table around it; was very accommodating. The service was excellent and the food was really nice. The only thing they couldn’t help us with was the football score at the end! But it was a lovely evening none the less.

Had a meeting today the Manager was very good the lunch was great good venue.

It's certainly improved. Food is decent and good selection of booze.

We turned up lunchtime on a Saturday and it was packed out being one of the few Faversham pubs with footy on the telly. We moved to the back "restaurant" where there was another small niche with another TV showing some lower league game but unobtrusive to the eating area. Very nice meal. Excellent service and adequate Sheps' beer. Will come back in an evening when there is some live music. Music is a feature of the pub with folk and jazz night a regular occurrence.

Good Home cooked food at reasonable price. Friendly staff a hardly waited anytime for it to be served. Even though it was sat early evening. Recommended

Great pub, great food, great staff ! I've eaten here twice in the last month to watch the rugby and can't fault it.

It’s a lovely pub, good atmosphere amongst customers however, staff are very blunt and come across as rude and a little bit stuck up, took ages to serve me even though it wasn’t busy they acted like they were avoiding serving. And the looks they give customers is very off putting and unwelcoming.

Great pub with excellent staff, amazing food and a great General Manager!!! Andy always makes us welcome with a big smile and goes the extra mile to make us comfortable. Keep up the good work...5 stars from me!!!

Been to this pub a few times since Christmas Had their Sunday Roast which was great, hot , tasty and everything you would expect from a Sunday roast. Had a mates 50th birthday dinner there where we ordered off the restaurant menu Everyone had an amazing experience and service the duck is spot on! Recently we had simple ham, egg and chips in the bar, again very good, hot tasty and nicely presented. Not had a bad meal or service here and also enjoy the nice selection of beers and spirits. Thank you.

This is a largish friendly town pub. The food looked great. I was there for a jazz evening. Great venue.

The smell of chips and burgers hits you as you open the door. More of a football pub, with a seated area, for food.

Excellent service received from Andy and the team at The Limes on Saturday 28th for my partners 50th birthday. Excellent food and great service as always we had a great night.

The service for the food wasn’t good . Came out in dribs & drabs. One dish at a time, even though we’d preordered. Chips coming out 15 minutes before the burgers . Half the party had eaten before some even had any food. Can’t believe how unorganised they were.

Always great service a great value for money.

Owner/manager really friendly and talkative (and provides dog biscuits!) Great pub with a great atmosphere but always busy, so can be hard to find space. Live music is nice on occasion.

Came in from a local Hotel with our team celebrating our Christmas Party. Staff were all very polite and very attentive thank you so very much . Great atmosphere

Great service, friendly and accommodating. We loved the food, fish and chips highly recommended (excellent beer batter!) Our dog also made very welcome :)

Watched footy here, great crowd fab staff

Cosy Shepherd Neame pub with good food, burgers wings fries etc. Food and beer was excellent. Would highly recommend

Nice food, good beer, friendly staff

Nice place good Sunday roast and the staff extremely nice i would have given five stars just two minor faults 1 a very nice shiraz but served far too cold 2 although the gravy tasted ok sadly being tepid when served was cold before finishing my meal

Went there for a quick drink. My friend's Coca Cola was draught, and the concentrate needed refilling;I I asked for a half and was given a pint. Won't he vack...

Popped into The Limes a couple of times for a lunch time drink and food last week. The girls running the the bar and waiting on tables were really great and friendly nothing was too much trouble for them. We eat and drank on both occasions, the food was piping hot and fresh. Definitely recommend them for both food and drinks.

We came past here for a bite to eat and were pleased with the menu as it had a few vegan options. We had the vegan burger and dhotdog which were both amazing. The staff were friendly and the pub had a great atmosphere with music on a Friday night. Will definitely be back here again next time we visit Faversham.

Leave you waiting so long for your food . Plates were bought out with meat and potatoes on and it was ages before veg was brought out . Ages again before desserts were brought out and the sticky toffee pudding was burnt and bitter . Not good as these are expensive I believe £ 7. 50 !!!! Seemed to me they were short on staff Chap behind bar was chucking the wine in the glass . It was going all over the place . Won't be returning not a nice experience

Good pub, Shepherd Neame beers. Good chicken wings!

Пиво безумно вкусное! Обслуживают быстро. Живая музыка неплоха! Весьма атмосферное место. Вернусь при возможности.

Amazing food as always and staff very helpful.

Used to have a lovely menu including for vegetarians. Now your only choice is a burger or hot dog. Sadly yet another pub that won't get our custom. It really isn't difficult to cater for vegetarians I.e. provide decent choices. Needless to say we had to leave.

Nice pub, can get quite busy. Quite a bit of space at the back. Good range of food on offer, had both the fish & chips and burger so far, both good. Recommended if you are in the area.

Lovely pub. Great decor and friendly staff. Can recommend for lunch. Good family atmosphere.

Shepherd Neame pub with a great fire a good atmosphere. Perfect meeting place for friends.

Lovely place, even better in the winter with the fire going making it nice and cozy

I went there last Saturday evening and I really enjoyed the burger and homemade fries they did - one of the best I've ever eaten. Friendly and helpful staff too. I'd definitely go there again.

Lively pub with live music. Very efficient staff and a good meal menu. As an oldster, not strictly my kind of venue but everyone was enjoying themselves, which is what counts. 🙂
