Railway Hotel

If you are an experienced hospitality operator, seeking out a high-profile project in one of Kent’s most attractive and vibrant market towns, then look no more, as the Railway Hotel could be the perfect answer!

Situated in Shepherd Neame’s very own home town of Faversham, the Railway Hotel is a Victorian pub & restaurant with six letting bedrooms, that has been welcoming its customers for over 150 years.

Just 500 yards away from the Brewery itself, the Railway boasts a great location at the top of Faversham's historic high-street and directly opposite the busy train station. Faversham is an ancient market town with a rich history, where you can meander through medieval streets, relax alongside the beautiful creek side or explore the weekly markets, independent shops and boutiques. The town boasts a busy, year-round events calendar and it has been put on the map internationally for its famous annual Hop Festival, which celebrates the towns historic hop-growing heritage, and the ever-popular Faversham Festival of Transport.

Following a period of closure for an extensive refurbishment programme, the Railway Hotel has been upgraded throughout and is now positioned and ready for a dynamic new operator to relaunch the business in the local market place.

Internally, the spacious and welcoming ground floor now houses a newly refurbished bar area centred around a beautiful feature servery for approx.70 covers, together with a restaurant/breakfast dining room for 30 covers and a good-sized trade kitchen. A striking tiled entrance lobby and staircase lead to the recarpeted and decorated first floor, where you will find six ensuite letting bedrooms. All of the bedrooms have benefited from complete redecoration to include new window furnishings, fitted carpets and bathroom upgrades.

Externally, the Railway features a substantial courtyard garden with seating for 50 covers, an outside bar, barn storage, customer car parking and an additional unused outbuilding offering future development potential.

The tenants private accommodation is set out over two floors and includes a lounge, large kitchen and bathroom on the first floor and two double bedrooms on the second floor.

The Railway Hotel is currently trading under Shepherd Neames management and it is looking for its perfect new operator immediately on either a traditional tenancy, a partnership agreement or a Tenancy at Will agreement, offering flexibility around terms and ingoing costs for the right operator.

It presents a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious and hands-on publican, with strong food, drink and accommodation experience and a clear vision for marketing, events and community engagement, to make their mark in Faversham.
