Visited this pub for the first time, as it is featured in a book I have called Kent Smugglers' Pubs. It's right by the river and the pier where there is a ferry boat to Tilbury, but it doesn't run Sundays. We enjoyed Sunday Roast, and was pleased to see they have a vegetarian option of nut roast which was very tasty. There are also quite a few vegan meals available. My husband had the mixed roast which has a bit of lamb, beef and chicken, he went for the standard size, I had the small option. This is a lovely old pub with plenty of character including wonky floors, and serves delicious food. They have quite a few ales which pleased my husband. We didn't get round to trying the puddings but plan to visit again to have the gipsy tart, vegan key lime pie or crumble. The Saxon Shore Way starts in Gravesend so this is a handy place to eat before you start. The England Coast Path also goes along here, and there is another walk shown on a large board nearby. No smugglers' tunnels are available to see, but there might be historical guided tours of the town and riverside, I need to contact the Visitor Information Centre. We parked in a local council carpark which is free on Sundays.

I love this pub but £15 for a frozen burger and chips from frozen didn't feel great. Staff didn't come to check on us. I'll go back, I do love the pub but that was one miss after several enjoyable meals there.

The oldest pub in Gravesend. I've been here many times over the years, and today for Sunday Roast. 3 of us had beef and 1 chicken, all of which come with loads of Veg and roast potatoes and plenty of gravy. The pub has a daily menu as well and I've enjoyed all of the food I've had here over the years. The pub itself has great service, and right on the river which makes it a very busy place on those nicer days to come. You will see lots of cyclists and walkers pop in, a great mix of people. They have music regularly also. The floor in the main part of the pub might make you feel you've had a couple more drinks than you actually have 😄.

Nice little pub with an excellent roast dinner, very generous portions. The restaurant was full (we didn’t book) but the waitress who was very helpful allowed us to eat in the bar area. Fast service and friendly. Recommend a stop if you are in the area.
