Such a lovely welcoming place to have lunch or a hot drink and treat. So close to dockside but on another level in terms of food quality plus good portion sizes!
The venue is lovely, great views of the marina/river. The staff are so friendly, we have been a few times and have always had great service. It's nice dogs are welcome. I always have my toddler and newborn in tow and there is good baby changing facilities and my daughter loves the sausage rolls and banana and peanut butter on toast.
What an absolutely gorgeous hidden gem! Just back from a lovely visit - the place itself was just stunning, I loved the decor with it’s original features. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, service was very speedy and you were just allowed to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Food and drink were also delicious, we went for a cheese platter too alongside a sausage roll and mozzarella and pesto panini (it would have been rude not to) and it was most enjoyable. Lovely selection of yummy foods, drinks and treats to buy and take away with you too - perfect ‘make your own’ hampers as well which are great for Christmas. PLUS, we were also thrilled to learn we could bring our dog in too! We will certainly be back - thanks for a fantastic visit! �
I first discovered the Copper Rivet strawberry gin, which I liked so much I researched and found out about the distillery and restaurant along the river in Chatham.. and I had to experience dining at the place that made such a good quality gin. We were not disappointed.. quality cocktails, service and food.. you do pay a bit more but for a special occasion it’s just perfect.. first we had drinks outside with lovely views along the river, and blankets provided in case it gets chilly (we actually had a bit of sun!!).. and then inside the amazing building for dinner..
the food blew us away and my husband told the waitress he wanted to marry the chef 😂 which I totally understood… will definitely go back and look forward to it! And the triple cooked chips which we will have with whatever we order..
The pumproom is the perfect place for an occasion. It’s on the pricier side, but it’s honestly worth every penny! We went for our wedding anniversary and had put it on the booking form. They welcomed us with a card on the table, we had a free cocktail and some fudge at the end of the meal too.
The staff were lovely and so knowledgeable about everything on the menu. We had every course going and the flavours in every part were beautiful. Lots of combinations you wouldn’t necessarily find elsewhere, the bone marrow fondue was our absolute highlight.
The cocktails menu is extensive and there’s loads with alcohols from the distillery to choose from. It’s also lovely to have the view out onto the river with Upnor castle in the distance.
Such a gem to find in Chatham, we loved it!
Stunning food, venue, service and drinks. Great value for a top tier restaurant. We had Sunday roast and was 10/10.
Edit: it was so good we went back the following week to try the Saturday menu with wine pairings. Excellent!
What an amazing discovery, we had “ steak night “ in this romantic location. Service is impeccable and the story behind every meal blown us away. Can’t wait to come back 🔥
This is one of my favorite places to dine. The atmosphere is great, the views are incredible and the food is out of this world. Me and my partner celebrate our anniversary here every year and the staff make it so special. They always remember who we are which a lovely personal touch. Something I always look forward to is the creativity in the menu. So many different flavours that I had no idea would compliment each other. The complimentary bread starter is one like no other too. Thank you for being such a great team and running one of the best restaurants in Kent.
Gorgeous food, impeccable service, beautiful building and wonderful attention to detail. The homemade ‘marmite’ butter is worth the visit alone. By far the best restaurant in Kent; Michelin star should be looming i imagine.
Such a lovely place, perfect for a romantic dinner, or lunch or if you need a nice cocktail.
First time visiting here. We loved it so much we went back the same day! Recommend the Damson gin.
It is quite pricey though in there and they add 10% service charge which we didn't expect. But they really looked after us and even arranged a taxi when we found out there were no more buses we could catch to get home. Can't wait to go back, especially in the spring/summer, as it's right beside the river with beautiful views!
Was nearby so popped in for cold drinks on a hot day. Manager was apologetic the terrace seating was full, and was very kind and helpful throughout (together with all the staff). Great selection of drinks and food and a funky industrial vibe going on.
Prices were reasonable and a lovely location. Really liked the place, will be back.
Popped here for lunch and what a pleasant surprise. Creative menu, delicious food and specialist local drinks. Highly recommend and will come back again to try more!
