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.

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!More

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.

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.More

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.More

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.More

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.More

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 experienceMore

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.More

Food and atmosphere was lovely. More could be provided to keep the children occupied - there was a kids menu with games on the back, fab, but no colouring pencils or wax crayons for them to use. We waited a while for our food to...be served but we were there on a Friday night, start of the August bank holiday weekend, and so I think that is excusable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.More

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.

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.More

Haven't been here for a few years and popped in for an impromptu meal with family. Lovely welcome and excellent service. Good food selection including for vegetarians which is unusual for a pub. Loaded chips are amazing.
