Family Run

Hailing from three generations of Public House Licensee's, The Real Ale Way is the creation of Gregory Foreman.

Exclusively Kent

As proponents of #gLocalisation, we believe it to be in the best interests of everyone if we sourced all or as many of our products as possible from as local a source as potentially we are able to.

We sell green and roasted coffee beans that are sourced directly from independent farmers and farm cooperatives. We’re proud to offer a variety of coffee beans grown with great care for the environment and local communities. Check our post or contact us directly for current availability.

We offer a small, but carefully curated selection of brewing gear and tools for every taste and experience level. No matter if you roast your own beans or just bought your first french press, you’ll find a gadget to fall in love with in our shop.

Our values

Coffee is an amazing part of human culture but it has a dark side too – one of colonialism and mindless abuse of natural resources and human lives. We want to turn this around and return the coffee trade to the drink’s exhilarating, empowering and unifying nature.
