Faversham is home to around 20,400 people (2021 census), a Kent market town whose historic centre has been brewing beer for longer than almost anywhere else in Britain.
Britain's Oldest Brewer
Shepherd Neame traces its official founding to 1698, when the brewery was established on Court Street around an artesian well, but town records show commercial brewing on that same site as far back as 1573. That long, unbroken history makes it Britain's oldest brewer, and the brewery buildings still dominate a corner of Faversham's well-preserved medieval town centre today.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Faversham shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — rather than a special trip to Canterbury or Sittingbourne, the full range comes straight to your door.
