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.

Held my 60th birthday celebration at the Limes with a buffet lunch and the bar upstairs. Everyone was very impressed with the team on duty that day and I had several comments from guests as to how efficient the team was and how unobtrusive - and how good the food was - the chips got lots of mentions! Booking was easy and Lauren and Yazmin were extremely helpful and efficient when explaining how the event might run and then making sure it did run well on the day. The team made my special day very special!
So, could you please thank all those who worked on Sunday and tell them that they helped make it a very special day for me and I'm very grateful.

We hired the main room upstairs for a 80th party and it was fantastic, really great space lots of help on hand to lay the tables and chairs out and manage the private bar.
We’d organised a buffet and the chef was great accommodating our requests for hot and cold options. Food went down a storm and the party was a great success. Lovely helpful staff. We’d defiantly go back.
Great night had by all!
Thank you The Limes

I booked a table for 4 for 7 pm on Sat 22nd Feb. The four of us got there early and quickly settled into our reserved table. Drinks were ordered and served quickly and efficiently. Indeed the waitresses were very attentive and served well throughout our meal. We had two different beers and some Pinot Grigio white wine as well as tap water. I ordered a rump steak done medium but found it quite tough. My wife had the chicken supreme. Our two friends ordered a sweet course and I did ask for Cheese and Biscuits but they have not got this on their menu. Finally I had a very good americano coffee. The bill was reasonable and came to just under £90 for the four of us. I think the website show the pub/restaurant better than reality!

Well, firstly I would of never of thought I would be writing such a bad review about one of my local pubs!
I am completely devastated and disappointed that such a lovely pub/restaurant has gone so far down hill.
When first arriving, the toilets were left in a very disgusting state and should of been the first sign to leave. The female toilets seemed to been destroyed in the sense of no toilet roll and female hygiene bags everywhere. As well as the soap dispenser begin left on the side, after being dismounted from the wall.
Once seated at the table, it was clear the servers were in no interest to serve us, as well as explain the special. After a while, we were granted with the service. The 2 gins that we’re order were not in a gin glass, nor was there any fruit. Which the lady on the table next to us did receive.
After drinking the first lot of drinks, we were still waiting to order our food. Once this occurred we did order a second round and these were completely drank far before the food arrived.
We felt that the service we received wasn’t to the normal standard it use to be, as it was clear that our server did have some negative attitude.
When ordering desserts, we were then informed the coffee machine was broken. We understand that this isn’t the servers fault, but the deliver was again very negative. There was also no hint of offering any other hot drinks as well.
Finally when trying to pay for this Disaster meal, it took along time for our servers to bring out our bill. When it was finally brought out, the server took it back away as she asked if we were splitting the total. At this point it was getting very frustrating as normal bills can be done on the card machine straight away. After waiting more time, it was then brought out again, but it wasn’t the correct bill. Therefore the bill was taken away, meaning we had to wait even longer. It did take a good 10mins for the managers to sort this out. But after having a very disappointing meals, we did just wanted to pay and leave.
When paying for this, we did say to the sever that the toilets are in a right state and how the coffee machine begin broken must be horrible for them. When saying this, the server then said ‘oh you had coffees’ but obviously we replied with no it’s broken and she then took the time to explain why they are not officiant coffee. This was slightly odd to us as we had to say no the machine is broken?
As mentioned I am very shocked that I am even writing such a bad review, especially on one of my locals! But due to this experience, I shall never recommend the limes ever again!

The food shown on the online menu looks considerably better than the well below average food that’s actually served up.
Bizarre menu made up of predominantly chicken wings and chips; lots of chips with a veritable plethora of ‘stuff’ thrown on top of them.
I went for the veggie option ‘falafels’. Small, hard, mass produced ‘bullets’ of tasteless nothingness surrounded by various badly cooked vegetables and bought in synthetic sauces. Very disappointing.
When searching online this place is shown as dog friendly: please note that dogs are only allowed in the bar, not the restaurant. This meant that my friend and I had to sit at a table that was passed by everybody (less than two metres) who entered the venue. This was somewhat of a paradox as the staff were more occupied with enforcing the Covid rules in a somewhat military fashion than actually being customer focused and applying common sense to the former.
All in all a very unenjoyable experience, a place I would not visit again.

I never normally write a review especially a bad one as we all have bad days and sometimes it’s hard to put on a smile, working in pubs and restaurants myself I’d know. However last night five friends and I visited the Limes as a Saturday eve treat, we had a couple of waitresses, all were fine apart from one, the waitress with lash extensions? (I didn’t catch her name) who as very dismissive, rude and unhelpful. She had a really bad attitude to the point where we felt bad asking for more drinks leaving us without service for about 40 mins because of table service rules, or awkward asking for her help- which is literally her job. She was glaring at friends while they were telling stories as she collected glasses and as previously mentioned her attitude was poor.
I understand it’s difficult to work in customer service especially Saturday nights, particularly with covid-19, however the local pubs are open and it’s important we support them.
I work in a pub myself and the rest of my friends work all week and this was pricey treat with our bill coming to about £160, we were all polite and helpful- the same couldn’t be said about the service. I felt awkward asking about my allergy, which is something that could be life threatening. There wasn’t much on offer for the nut allergy or vegans but that wasn’t the issue.
My friends and I will not be returning which is really sad for us to say about a local business.

Under previous management The Limes was great. Not anymore. It is awful. Front of house staff no longer greet anyone unless they know them, they avoid looking at you if at all possible, overall the customer service is severely lacking. There’s no longer any capacity for walk ins to order food. We’ve popped in a few times for food and even though there have been tables available, we have been met with curt responses that we should have booked several days before. Sadly, this is the last time we will visit.

Had a mid afternoon dinner. Generally good.
No Sunday roast (still showing on website🤔)
Wings !!! Got them as a side and the plate was full so ok on that area. We ate them as we had a few beers but they did smell and taste of uncooked Indian type spices. Still have the taste the next day.
In hindsight these were poor.
Burger was good well cooked and presented but don't come with anything. You have to buy chips/salad/slaw
So a burger meal ends up being £15 + each. Bit pricey for a pub burger in my opinion.
£2.70 for a small coke and £5 a pint not really prices you would expect in faversham
Overall it was ok just not great. Maybe that is why it was nearly empty.

We popped into the Lime Pub today for lunch and it was ten minutes before the kitchen was due to close but they were happy to seat and serve us. We had a lovely fish and chip meal, I can’t fault it at all. Very prompt service, Fish was fresh, chips were really lovely and crispy and the peas fresh and hot like the whole meal. Two lovely meals and 2 drinks came to £30 I can’t fault that at all, we would definitely recommend it and return again if we are in Faversham

Well worth visiting for good food, friendly and efficient staff and good atmosphere, especially during the Faversham Literary Festival last weekend. The veggie pattie was enjoyable, great sweet potato fries and extremely tempting sticky toffee pudding. Couldn't ask for more. Even when really busy and buzzing, the service was just right. Thank you!

Stopped off here for lunch and as we were eating in the evening didn't want too much. Being a veggie there wasn't a huge choice so ended up having veggie burger, swapping the bun for salad and shared a dish of chips. Have to say this is one of the best lunches I have had for a long time. The burger came with lots of bbq sauce and a spicy sauce, it was scrummy. Can't even describe the chips, they were soooo naughty, lots of sauce and chilies and smashed avocado, I think the menu described them as smug fries. They were to die for. Would definitely go here just for the chips and burger.

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.

I’ve never been in here before – visited on the off chance on Saturday with my partner as we were in the area. They had a table free, which was good as it turned out this place is pretty popular and fills up quickly. It’s a Shepherd Neame pub in the centre of Faversham – they all do their own different food menus though, rather than a ‘chain’ menu of the type you might get from a Greene King or similar, so you never know what to expect dropping into one like this.
Ordered a couple of pints of the Bear Island Triple-hopped lager (excellent) and decided to grab some food. Food menu not at all what I was expecting – this place has a really great range of US-style burgers and ‘loaded’ fires to choose from – they look gorgeous in the pictures and, I can assure you, tasted just as good. I ordered a Cheesy Melt burger ‘Oozing with Monterey Jack cheese, crispy onions, dill pickle and a chilli chutney’ and my partner ordered the Rooster chicken burger ‘Piri-Piri marinated chicken breast, oozing with Monterey Jack cheese, house slaw, crispy onions, dill pickle and sriracha sauce’ – both of these were absolutely as good as described, full of flavour and really good portions.
To accompany the burgers we ordered a pan of the Mucky Swine loaded fries ‘spiced fries, topped with crispy streaky bacon, Cheddar cheese, mozzarella, baconnaise and BBQ sauce’ which really were quite special – loaded fries have really taken off as a thing in England over the past few years but they’re often a sad affair. Not the case here as these were covered in bacon and cheese with really tasty sauces mixed in. Could have eaten these twice over. Yum.
I will definitely be coming here again – great food, great beer and all at a very reasonable price. Well done.

Such a shame, we used to love this place! However, something seems to have changed in recent months. Staff don't appear to be interested in providing table service and the burgers, which were always fabulous previously, were somehow very average. We left feeling quite disappointed.
