The Shakespeare Pub in Butchery Lane is a laid back bar serving some of the finest beers and wines
Where possible, we source all of our ingredients locally, and use only 100% British Beef. Our specalist Ales are brewed just 10 miles away in the local town of Faversham, and even our bar nibbles are made right here, in the heart of Kent. On Friday and Saturday nights we play host to some of the UK's finest DJ's playing a selection of balearic, nu disco and deep house.
