🍸 Happy World Gin Day! 🍸

To celebrate, we're raising a glass to one of the all-time great gin cocktails - the Negroni! 🍊

Bold, bittersweet and beautifully balanced, our Negroni is made with Copper Rivet Distillery Dockyard Gin, a contemporary take on traditional naval gin. With citrus and floral notes, gentle spice, and a smooth finish, it's a gin that works wonderfully in this classic cocktail.

Crafted in Chatham from locally grown grain and a carefully selected blend of botanicals, Dockyard Gin delivers exceptional depth and character in every sip. ⚓

We're really pleased to partner with Copper Rivet and showcase a fantastic local gin that we're proud to serve.

Watch our reel to learn how to make a Negroni at home, or if you’d rather, enjoy one in our pubs!

Today we can reveal the winning images from our Spring Photography Competition – and we think they’re fabulous!

We were inundated with entries after launching our search in January.

The top prize of a £150 Shepherd Neame gift card went to Mark Ford, from Herne Bay, who snapped a stunning shot of a blackbird in Godmersham.

Mark only took up photography five years ago. He snapped the winning picture from a hide in Godmersham.

Four runners-up each received a £25 Shepherd Neame gift card and certificate. They were: Sarah McBride for her image of a busy bee, which was taken in a field on the side of the A251 near Badlesmere; Darryn Jenner for his picture of a nuthatch taken near Canterbury; Alan Smithers for capturing a Highland Cattle in Barming on the banks of the River Medway, and Jim Higham for his image of young hares - known as leverets – taken at Elmley National Nature Reserve on the Isle of Sheppey.

The winning images will be on show in our Brewery reception in Court Street, Faversham from Friday, June 5, during normal office hours for a month. 🎉📷

Thanks to everyone who entered!

🍎 It’s World Cider Day, and we’re celebrating with a fresh new look for Angry Orchard, in partnership with -Boston-Beer-Company 🍻

Exclusively imported and bottled by Shepherd Neame, this American cider now comes in bolder, brighter colours, making it easier than ever to spot at the pump or in the fridge.

Behind the new look, it’s still the same Angry Orchard you know and love, with its crisp apple character and distinctive taste. 🍏 Made with a blend of dessert apples and traditional cider apples, it balances sweetness with a touch of sharpness, creating an easy-drinking cider that’s both vegan-friendly and gluten-free.

Crisp, fruity and full of flavour, it’s the perfect drink to enjoy when the temperatures are soaring. 🌞

Our sports bar Sin Bin at Chatham Maritime got a big thumbs up at the weekend when influencer Big John was the special guest at a night of fundraising for Soccer Aid.

Big John gave the menu including a kilo of wings and pizzas his seal of approval, and he also poured a pint from one of the recently introduced Beer Towers, under the watchful eye of General Manager Rachel Webb.

Customers can order them with Sin Bin Dockside Lager or Stella Artois.

There was also a Soccer Air raffle and a meet and greet with Big John.

A big thank you to the man himself for coming down to the dockside 👊

Shepherd Neame was proud to be among the sponsors for the Rotary Charity Dragon Boat Challenge in Chatham Maritime for the first time – and a team from our nearby pub, The Ship & Trades, also took part.

The team joined 35 others for the challenge, sporting Iron Wharf t-shirts for their first foray into racing. They also raised almost £20,000 for a series of charities through raffles and other fundraising activities in the lead-up to the event.

Held on the waterfront next to the pub, the challenge coincided with the Medway Food and Drink Festival.

General Manager Chris Abnett said: “The team had a great time and we had the support of regulars and our fellow team members from The Millers Arms and The The Royal Hotel.

“We look forward to next year and hope to beat 16th place!”

The race itself, which is organised by the Medway Sunlight Rotary Club, raises funds for a variety of Rotary charities and has raised more than £100,000 over the past 10 years.

Bill Parkinson from the club said: “The day went really well – a very hot day, but no-one capsized!

“We do not have a final figure for our fundraising yet, but it is not all about fundraising – we are supporting the local community, letting people see what Rotary is about and above all having fun – and I think that we achieved all of those in abundance!”

Well done to everyone who took part 💪

We are cheering on The Wharf Pub Supervisor Michaela Hill as she prepares to represent England in the FIFG FootGolf World Championship in Acapulco, Mexico, this week 🏆

Michaela, who has worked at The Wharf since 2024, is currently ranked among the top three players on the England FootGolf Tour. She recently helped the England squad secure victory at the Four Nations tournament in Wales and competed in the Jansen Cup in 2022 in Florida.

For those unfamiliar with the sport, FootGolf combines the rules and format of golf with football. In Michaela's words: “It’s basically golf, but you kick a football and the holes are bigger!”

Michaela will be competing against players from all over the world in the Individual category while in Mexico. We wish her the best of luck for the tournament! 🤞
