She may not have run a pub in Faversham before, but for the new general manager of The Limes, taking on a pub in Shepherd Neame’s hometown feels like a homecoming.
Lauren Weight has run four pubs for the brewer, but her latest role at the Preston Street pub is the closest to home, with her family and her partner’s family living in the town.
The Limes, located just a minute’s walk from Faversham railway station and a short distance from the brewery, has a strong reputation for live music, sport, and community events.
“It really does feel like a homecoming,” said Lauren. “With family down the road, and Shepherd Neame’s brewery nearby too, it’s a great place to be.
She plans to freshen the pub’s décor, and encourage greater use of its generous first-floor function space, which has its own bar and can host everything from private parties and celebrations to meetings and community events.
