The Gunpowder Mill

A warm welcome awaits at

The Gunpowder Mill is named after Faversham&#8217;s historic explosives industry. The first gunpowder plant in the UK was established nearby in the 16th century and the original watermills served to grind down charcoal, saltpetre, sulphur and other ingredients. Production continued well into the 20th century with Faversham gunpowder used at epic battles including Trafalgar and Waterloo. Our family-friendly pub team will make everyone feel welcome. With a relaxed atmosphere, kids can be themselves, and we make sure each family member leaves with a happy tummy and a smile. Behind the bar you’ll find our famous Marston&#8217;s ales, wines from across the globe, continental lagers, and premium spirits. For something extra special we have a cocktail menu. And of course, we also serve a full range of soft drinks including tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.
