Lovely atmosphere. Seating areas are nice. Staff not 100% on their face mask protocol. Greeting patrons at the entrance without a facemask and keep removing their masks to talk to each other at the bar. Wondering about health risks the way my cutlery were presented. Felt like I was about the get tetanus in a jar. Chicken was dry ....tried to eat some but was too dry and sweet potato fries were soggy. Another visit here today: staff are insensitive to customers preferences and comfort. Ordered an Aperol spritz cocktail, the description on their webpage states that the cocktail has soda in it. Now spare me but if you're making a cocktail outside going to taste delish not like someone is trying to poison you! Nor me neither my friend could swallow this "medication". I politely went to the bar and explained that the drink is not drinkable as they must have mistakenly put soda water instead of sprite in the drink. The young lady confirmed that the drink is INDEED made with soda water. So I explained that we unfortunately not able to drink it as it is too bitter for consumption. She retorted by saying well we can't just refund you because you don't like your drink. I said it's not that we don't like it...it's too bitter to drink! She said well if you want anything else you have to pay for it and also pay for the drinks you won't drink. This is after not even having chicken on the menu because they out of stock...how do you go out of stock of chicken! They should just close tbh. I think ppl keep giving high ratings on here because the options are very limited in Gillingham/Chatham. After trying to give TETANUS in the past. Bare village mentality!

Popped in on a Sunday evening around 5pm, had two cheesy melt burgers and some mucky swine loaded fries. Food came quick, was hot, tasty and well priced. The burgers were big and filling, a little dry but wouldn't stop me having one again. The loaded fries were really nice, loads of flavour and they are generous with the toppings. The choice of draught and bottled beers is excellent (including alcohol free) and the decor and feeling of the whole place was welcoming. As pub grub goes it was good (based on one visit) and the variety of drinks is worth coming for especially with friends.

First time here for the wife and I, and it was a good night. The foods presentation as you can see can’t be faulted. Food was nice, didn’t blow us away, but we will return to give it another go. The selection of drinks was very good, and the wait staff, bar staff were good. Had a laugh with the bar staff while waiting to be served, as there wasn’t enough tills for them to use. So I’d say get at least another till and it would reduce the wait time at the bar. Setting was good, especially on a summer evening, couldn’t be beat around this location Will we return? Almost defiantly

Variable service, main was quick but kids desert was so slow we left after 20 minutes before it was delivered. Food that did come was good, tasty and hot. Shame portions were small for the price. “Large Loaded fries” wasn’t large. One of the burgers comes without chips for no apparent reason. It is in the menu if you notice but we didn’t. I really don’t like being asked for a tip BEFORE I’ve been served so I’d rate the payment system as flawed too. Pizza was lovely. Prices gone up a lot. £15.50 for a burger on its own is excessive.

I visited with girlfriends. It was It was lovely atmosphere to reconnect! Unfortunately one of us didn't get what we wanted and the rest of us had to adjust our orders due to food shortages (thanks a lot Brexit!!!). I found the service absolutely amazing though, and the food, once ordered and paid for was delivered VERY QUICKLY. I was impressed I could order a breadless burger!!!! Yes thank you so very much 😍😍!!! I've already said I'd go again with other girlfriends or a group. Amazing place!

Oh my goodness, those dirty fries! We tried 2 different flavours and they were honestly so amazing! Really lived upto our expectations. The burgers were a really decent size too and also in thickness! We also had a pizza which was well flavoured and again, a very decent portion size. Will definitely be returning, didn't take any pics as was far too interested in eating it all! 😂 ** update ** Went back for more and wasn't disappointed! Even rememberd to take a picture for you all 🤣
