Our Faversham pub, The Limes has welcomed new General Manager Lauren Weight in time for this weekend’s Faversham Hopfestival - and it’s something of a homecoming for her.

Lauren, who has run three Shepherd Neame pubs before, has family in the town and so does her partner, and is relishing the chance to be on duty for festival weekend, having been a visitor for many years!

Her future plans for the Preston Street pub, which has a strong following locally, includes freshening its décor and making more of the first floor function space for parties and community events.

An elegant horse-drawn carriage drew crowds as the show-stopping centrepiece of the reopening of Mayfair’s oldest surviving pub, The Coach & Horses, this week, following a major refurbishment 🎉

The carriage provided a fitting nod to the pub’s name and echoed its new bespoke swing sign, featuring a coach and horses, outside the Grade II-listed building in Hill Street.

Just a stone's throw from Berkeley Square, the building has a refreshed new look and feel that celebrates its rich heritage while sensitively updating it for the future, with a classic red lantern above the entrance, new décor and a new food offer centred around speciality flatbreads and charcuterie boards.
