The Vineyard Sittingbourne — Restaurant in Borough of Swale

Myself and my partner made a visit to the vineyard - sittingbourne this past weekend to nip for something to eat... I was not disappointed with a vast menu covering some pub favourites, sharing platters with a blinding saver deal for 3 or 5 small plates etc. With some help and guidance from a young lady named Bethany and seeing the portions flying out to the tables, we were guided through the menu and advised on some of the best dishes.

We finally decided on the 5 dishes for I believe it was £12.99 or so very reasonable for the size, quality and amount, the young lady, Bethany brought our food out in what seemed like an instant, we had opted for 2 portions or Katsu chips, some southern fried strips and mac and cheese balls which was all most delicious and cooked to perfection.

Going up to the bar was a pleasant experience, many staff all buzzing around serving drinks for the masses, again a very fine selection of drinks from craft beers to spirits and fruity ciders, I'm partial to a tipple of dead mans finger of which they had an assortment of flavours choosing a nice double lime rum and lemonade for myself and a double pink gin and lemonade for the good lady there was no waiting around with plenty of staff on hand to take the order, however seeming to give a continued relatable experience we were greeted once again with Bethany who was very knowledgeable on the drinks they have on offer when I was trying to decode which dead mans finger to have,

All in all The Vineyard is a little gem in sittingbourne with a bustling atmosphere of regulars and new comers alike, sports are playing across the TV's and I heard talk of karaoke nights that I'll definitely try to attend,

Thank you to Bethany and all the staff that made it an enjoyable...

Great food and service, bring my whole family here for drinks and food, it’s wheelchair accessible and staff are very friendly to the kids. Have never had a negative interaction with the staff and never felt pressured to leave even when the kids start misbehaving due to their autistic nature.

Food and drink is decently priced, Fast and friendly service and best of all is very clean!

I had my 1st ever mixed grill and went off the chiefs advice on how well to have it done and I was not disappointed at all really nicely done very tasty, The BBQ Mac burger is also a fantastic option aswell.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and kind service made my kids feel very welcome even with the autism. There is colouring in for them to do while they wait for the food located at the bar with all the pens and pencils etc. The kids menus has some great choices on for fussy eaters.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair lift at the front of the restaurant so you can up to the bar and also have disabled toilets close at hand if you dont have a radar key you can request the staff to open which was great for my son who is...

Will never be going here again

Where to start?

Food: food is ok but nothing to write home about

Service, Shocking , got our order wrong ,twice! Ordered the 10oz gammon and chips , made it clear that literally just gammon and chips , when it arrived at the table, it was a 10oz steak with chips, when told them they had the order wrong, they refused to replace it, forcing me to buy another gammon and chips, then when they brought that out it for some reason had and egg on the gammon, despite when ordering it they asked if i wanted it with just chips,when complained about this , we got " you have your gammon now" and they walked off !

Venue,I understand that this place has football on their tv , but why book the big table out , only to surround that table with people watching the football and to have it up do loud that no one can talk , even the people watching the football mentioned how loud it was.

All and all a massive disappointment and they have lost at least 14 people going back This is not they only bad...
