Shepherd Neame Shop & Visitor Centre — Attraction in Borough of Swale

I recently visited the Shepherd Neame brewery for an evening brewery tour and 2 course set meal. I would highly recommend this tour/dinner combination if you’re looking for something a little different. I learnt a lot of interesting facts about the process of brewing larger and ale but also about the company itself. We visited on a Friday and as no beer is brewed on that day, you can see the machinery up close without any workers around. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we finished the tour in the museum/ function room area which also shows off some old vehicles used for delivery back in the day! After the tour we were given a flight of beers to sample and a delicious two course set meal. Ours was chicken with risotto and asparagus followed by a fresh strawberry tart. Another free beer was included with the meal and the bar was open for anything else you may fancy. All in all a lovely evening in a pretty town learning some new facts about the oldest brewer in Britain! The tour is popular and would recommend buying way in advance, the menu appears to change with the seasons but all options...

I could not recommend the tour and beer tasting highly enough! I came here for an afternoon outing with my family and we enjoyed every moment! Our tour guide Nick, was extremely informative and gave us a great look around the brewery and explained the intense process that goes into making the beer. I learned a lot about beer that I did not know before, and about the long history at Britain’s oldest brewery. We also had a great beer tasting, and I really enjoyed learning about Shepard Neame’s most popular and well loved beers. This is a great afternoon out and you will not be...

Visited brewery for the first time today and I was amazed! I am not much of a beer drinker so I was not sure what to expect, but it was actually great to see the process of beer making and the history behind it. At the end of the tour we had opportunity to taste some beers and learn more about the taste/smell of each one. Special thanks to Nick as he was a great tour guide! It is definitely worth a visit if you are interested in...
