Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Great service - fantastic food - lovely friendly ambience. I can't rate The Alma highly enough. Richard and Clare run a really great pub/restaurant.

We had a Sunday lunch and a mid-week evening meal at The Alma. Both were lovely. We were camping at Painter’s Farm, a 5min walk away so we’d booked to have lunch there once we’d pitched our tents on the Sunday. We found out they...were having a charity quiz that evening and as it was too cold to sit outside, we decided to go back; what a hoot! Our team came last but we had such a laugh. Both the landlord and his team, as well as the locals were really friendly and made us feel really welcome. The landlady is the chef; and I must say, her Thai chicken curry was delish!More

Stayed at the campsite which is a 2 minute walk from this country pub. The Alma was a very pleasant surprise, the food is top notch for pub fayre, a rare for English pubs these days. We ate there twice and would highly recommend to...anyone staying locally, the fish pie was delicious, the burger and steak and kidney pudding were super tasty and served with fresh vegetables! Don’t leave without trying the nachos which were fantastic! Lovely garden and very friendly accommodating staff. Dogs are welcome in the bar and garden. A great find!More

The staff were excellent very enthusiastic all the staff going out of their way to ensure we had a lovely evening....A great rapport between George and the boss Richard! (Guess who!) We enjoyed our food immensely, so full we couldn't manage a desert we shall leave that for the next time we visit. We can highly recommend the Alma for an enjoyable evening out.More

A lovely evening. We walked up through the fields from Faversham to have pizzas and a beer. Had a lovely evening and served by a very friendly waitress. Just what was needed, thank you.

Very disappointed as staying on campsite nearby and great reviews from owners. Landlord older guy what an awful obnoxious man I can think of stronger words but we are on tripadvisor so unable. Hard to explain just rude and treated like something on the bottom...of his shoe and also he doesn’t care either. Wood fire pizza awful not worth the money had better from Iceland. Sad to say all this as a lovely pub. Looking back on other reviews negative ones are not responded to. Please take this on board. But you probably don’t need to as most Of your customers are campers and don’t know before they arrive. So needless to say with regret we wouldn’t be back. You have a little goldmine there so maybe treat people a little better and take on board the reviews as I’m not the only one.More
