For over 325 years our home has been Faversham, Kent. Our pubs and hotels stretch from the Garden of England to the heart of London — every one of them a part of our family.
Britain's oldest brewer has always been a Kent business — rooted in Faversham since 1698, surrounded by hop gardens and chalk streams. Today our pubs reach beyond the county line into the capital, but the heart of who we are has never moved.
The villages, market towns and coastline that have shaped us for three centuries — from the brewery doors in Faversham to the cathedral city of Canterbury and the oyster beaches of Whitstable.
Explore the HeartlandA handful of historic pubs in the City of London and beyond — Kent stalwarts in spirit, Londoners in postcode. Our Kent ales pulled within a stone's throw of St Paul's, the South Bank and the Square Mile.

Visit the WealdWe've been brewing in Court Street, Faversham, since 1698. That continuity — same town, same well water, same hop fields — is the thread that runs through every pint we pour and every pub on our estate.
It's why we call this our heartland. Not a marketing line; a postcode.
