The Alma is the perfect place to pop into while out exploring the picturesque countryside around Painters Forstal.
It has been a pub since 1837 and was originally known as the Candle House. The evocative name derived from the landlord lighting candles to show thirsty hop pickers the way to the pub in the dark.
One of the beauties of this house is it is only a short way from Faversham, with cask ales and a good wine selection to refresh the more energetic visitors arriving on foot.
The pub has a garden and a restaurant which serves good food with a distinctly rustic flavour, freshly prepared on the premises, to satisfy hearty appetites.
A pleasant feature in winter is the woodburner style stove which restores cheer and warmth to chilly visitors.
The Alma offers darts, bat and trap and cribbage to customers while quiz nights and bingo are added attractions.
There is disabled access and 10 parking spaces.
