Divers Arms in Canterbury

Visited today - quiet Saturday afternoon. No ales on draft. Really rather nasty Sauvignon Blanc. For some reason the music was very very loud. Maybe it’s going through a transitional phase, but it wasn’t much fun today.

Popped into this place obr afternoon as liked the music I could hear, unfortunately only stayed for one drink, Shame because the pub is quirky and music was good, however wasn't made to feel welcome, no smiles or customer service, drunk loud customers playing pool & landlords or barstaff seemed to be joining in with them. Felt uncomfortable having to walk through them to the toilets, sorry no customer service, won't return.

Very characterful in appearance opposite the clocktower and the area where bikers often congregate. Friendly atmosphere and it's seafront location will make it popular with tourists. Namechecked in Caravan's largely unheard of song Back to Herne Bay Front. Sheps pub and Master Brew the only cask offer.

Music was original & excellent Friendly helpful staff

Came in here asking for some advice about whether there was anywhere we could leave two suitcases while we went up to the Reculver ruins. They kindly offered to let us leave them with them for a bit. Came back a few hours later for a drink. Thanks!

Haven't eaten in the pub only had beer, and bounced around with the band's which are always good

Proper pub! Had a great night, the band was awesome and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommend a visit.

A great little pub that supports live music in a big way.

This was a brilliant afternoon spent in the company of Sharon the world's best bar lady and Tina the landlady who made us feel very welcome. We where only down for the day but would recommend this wonderful pub great staff and locals who made us feel very welcome thank you.

I'm not sure if we were in the same pub as everyone else who wrote a review I thought this pub was dire bartender couldn't find the drinks we wanted from behind the bar strange as they were both well known he didn't speak at all, glasse were dirty when my partner went to take the menu off the bar the only words said not doing food today well why is the menu on the bar then theres is no way a gastro personally couldn't wait to leave

Good selection of ales and Beers, entertainment of an evening, great location, staff fun and chattie , would visit again

Small pub on the outside but plenty of room on the inside. Log fire. Board games to play. Pool table. Music playing.

Good friendly staff. Typical seaside boozer......

Absolutely brilliant i can honestly say i have not been to a pub like this in years. Sharon the bar person had greeted us as though we were regulars. Her service was second to none. Big smile really friendly. The food was excellent 👌 pub grub at good price. The chef was great and we gave him a good feedback. Will definitely return well done 👏

Iconic pub on the Herne Bay promenade. We just had a nightcap.

Had 2 brilliant evenings. Staff were lovely. Very friendly.

Great atmosphere, great beer and a love for live music here. 😀

Not enough of a decent ale selection, but food atmosphere on a Saturday night with live music and friendly locals.

We popped in here early evening for a drink as we were passing by. The staff greeting us were very friendly and although not busy when we arrived it soon filled up but retained that nice relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a place to sit and chill.

great traditional pub on the seafront for a daytime/ early evening pints, friendly staff and locals, landlady knows the score, coming from london this type of pub is an endangered species...thanks to all at the divers !!!

Perfect location for Sunday lunch on the sea front. Friendly welcome and yummy food. Service was quick and attentive xx

Dog friendly but states food available until 4. Came in at 3 but they said kitchen closed at 3.

Absolutely fantastic place to be. Awesome awesome crowd. Trina and co. are absolutely amazing! I really had a fantastic time. Was so lovely to meet all of you! Xx

We have not tried the food but the very warm welcome would suggest it should be good. We saw the pub at night. A splendid sight on the front. Drinks cheerfully served. Biscuits and water for the dogs. Music was coming from Dave La but we had to get the dogs home. An excellent spot especillay if you are "out of town".

Absolutely amazing Sunday lunch, staff extremely friendly and helpful. Dogs also welcome, loved it.

Excellent food, polite service, real value for money.

We were last in here in November and reviewed it needed a little TLC. We came back yesterday ( Tuesday) lunchtime and have to say that TLC has happenned, tge pub looks alot cleaner than it was . A very friendly barmaid, nice food and good pricing with good views on the seafront. Dog friendly.

Such a wonderful welcome from the staff & other guests. 3 adults, 2 small people and a dog. Nothing was too much trouble, even a spilled dog water bowl wasn't an issue. Great food, great prices, great atmosphere, would highly recommend for families We will be back!

Very friendly pub and staff. Amazing night. Would recommend to anyone who loves live music and a dance.

Went here for a karaoke with a few friends, standing room only, no waiting to be served though, Rob, the barman seemed to know what he was doing, chatting to people whilst serving others, lovely to see a barman that knows how to treat customers, can't speak for the food side of it, will return to try it out.

Amazing roast dinner, with a wonderful staff member who helped save the day 🤩

First class Sunday Roast. Lovers of supersize helpings will be happy here. Reason forfour stars was lack of attention from staff. Didn't seem to be anyone visibly in charge. As first time diners we didn't know we had to order at the bar so sat at the table for a while until we realised. Plates were not cleared from the table when we were finished. Maybe we were supposed to clear the table ourselves! Pub was cold as were the dinner plates so the lovely hot food chilled quite quickly. Overall a characterful local boozer by the sea with a great Sunday roast. Just would have liked it on warm plates and would have liked a more welcoming approach from the staff.

Live acts, decent beer, good crowd. Yep, I'll be back. Enjoyed the evening thanks.

Hidden gem of herne bay, lovely little pub with great beers.

Popped in when music was on, not my personal taste, but the atmosphere was spot on, quick service,would definitely return 👌

Went in for lunch. Had a huge burger and vegetarian tart. Mine was lovely and so was my partners. Mixed with a couple of pints. A friendly local, with a friendly barman. Good pricing, needs a little TLC but put that to one side its worth a visit.

Friendly atmosphere, live music, happy people....

Bit of a dive, lacked atmosphere but to be fair it was mid afternoon in the week. Quick drink then gone. Barperson? was very friendly though

Perfect for a pit stop ,friendly bar staff , we only had a drink ,but food looked nice ,

Went to thedivers Arms on 16th September. Dog freindly pud staff freindly and welcoming. Although not serving food let us go to the chip shop for food. Would highly recommend

It was just a vibe, a nice relaxing evening experience.

Great staff,great atmosphere great music.++++++

Called in for a drink and ended up staying a while as they had a great band on,SOS,the only reason we had to go was because it got too hot.

OK pub, seemed very much for locals.

Old style local , friendly helpful staff and very welcoming locals. Good prices , well kept Masterbrew , I will visit again hopefully on a "Darcy" shift 😉

Didn't stay there for long so would be unfair to comment.

Nice lively place on the sea front

Had a great time, it’s a shame rob doesn’t work there anymore. We always had a laugh and he was one of the main reasons I came here. You’ve lost a loyal customer, it’s a shame.

Had a lovely visit. Rob the Barman was very friendly, polite and attentive during our visit. Lovely atmosphere right on the seafront.

Bar man was spot on and nice pint

Friendly landlord .if you like heavy metal music you will like the divers

Bawdy local. Music can be loud and language colourful. But it is open on Sundays and Mondays when many Herne Bay pubs are shut. And it's not 'spoons — which is always a plus!

Lovely pub good food lovely Chef called Sam.

All good, a tradition pup on the sea front great staff good atmosphere 👌

Great Pub for music. Friendly staff and a fantastic atmosphere 👌 would definitely recommend it and would go again 😀 👍

Great little pub if you like live music to foot tap to or getting on the dance floor to stut you funky stuff Live music most fridays and saturdays Friendly staff and locals Good food especially sunday roast No dogs allowed Very clean pool table music box and outside garden Near beach and town

Had a fab lunch here Staff were friendly and very attentive, food was fab. It was great to meet the landlady (Trina), who was warm, friendly and very approachable. Our time here flew by and we can't wait to return - the live music nights are also great fun

Divers arms in herne bay is the most warmest, welcoming, friendliness pub. The staff and owner are always very welcoming and welcome you with everything they have. The entertainment is always brilliant and has such a variety of acts and the pubs atmosphere is always...

Really good pub. Great atmosphere. Massive selection of live music every week. Had a few great Sunday roasts in there, Food service fast and efficient, good selection of drinks. Always been greeted with a warm welcome from day one. Highly recommended.

Old traditional pub, pleasant atmosphere and people friendly 😀 will certainly return and may try the Sunday roast dinner that's got such a good reputation!

Great, lively, friendly pub on a Saturday night!

No real ale but quiet and comfortable on a bleak foggy day

Could not recommend this lovely local pub anymore! Amazing management, friendly bar staff, impeccable chef and all round 110% efforts! Couldn't have had a better experience!

This is a lovely old fashioned proper Pub, the staff and locals were very friendly we enjoyed stopping in for a drink or two !

Down in Herne bay for the weekend and staggered across this pub visited both nights both nights had live bands the staff are friendly and fast at serving the atmosphere it's great and prices of drinks are good highly recommend

This is a typical pub. Serves food and has a reasonable size garden. The bar staff was very friendly

Busy pub when events are on in Plaza by clock tower.

Lovely little pub, very friendly ambience Very nice Sunday road. Recommended.

Very friendly staff, we just had drink as there was no food as the chef had hurt his back

Great friendly pub that has a lot of history to it. Nice traditional English pub with nice staff and regulars. The band's are great, well worth a visit.

Very nice people, great service.

Anothet great Wednesday evening at the Diver's Arms with Emma Morgan's Karaoke and a really great crowd! 👍

Discrimination against others. Visited the pub to use the toilet before heading on an hours journey and was stopped by what seemed to be perhaps the manager. I was asked if I was ok and said yes just heading to use the toilet before being...

As always, absolute brilliant night, fantastic group playing ( can't remember their name like I said brilliant night 🍺🍻🍻🍺lol). Keep it up divers arms ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Had a band on, great atmosphere

Fish undercooked. Staff were lovely though x

I came to the Divers Arms for Sunday lunch with friends, I had roast beef which was delicious. If you want a nice Sunday lunch then get yourself to the Divers Arms in Herne Bay for some fantastic food cooked by Chef Sam, and some...

Great pub. Staff friendly welcoming. Good atmosphere

Popped in for a quick drink. Felt very comfortable, lovely people and great music!

Nice pub . Staff friendly. Nice atmosphere

Such a friendly pub. Loads of singing and locals coming together with us. So nice. Will deffo go again.

Had a nice friendly welcome, and a nice atmosphere the moment you walked in, Clean tidy, with friendly helpful staff, My partner and I both had a lamb roast, they had included cauliflower cheese with it, was really tasty, good potion's, this pub is a must if you go to Herne Bay.

Lovely seaside pub, great staff and live music.

Lovely landlady, bar staff very helpful and a great crowd in there and always friendly

Small cosy garden, good Guinness

Really nice pub very nice staff and the land lady is amazing

EE.very helpful didn't rush me gave me loads of options to fit my needs. Wasn't after a quick sale, definitely go and give it a soooooo.

Brilliant night. The Legend Show is hilarious. Really safe with all Covid rules being strictly adhered to. Loved it.

Divers Arms Herne Bay, a Shepherd Neame seafront pub. Excellent service, food and drink above average, traditional vibe. Well worth a visit.

Great place for a drink by the sea. Staff are very conscious of cleaning regularly.

Had a great evening last Saturday. Great company, attentive staff and great cider!!!!

Really generous Sunday lunch. Nice people

What a lovely little friendly pub, wish we lived in Herne Bay just so this could be our local.

As always, friendly and cheerful place to be. We felt very safe as distanceing was observed and cleaning was none stop with the one way entry and exit, the hand sanitiser as you enter and a bottle on every table. We will keep going back 😊

Friendly seafront pub with scruffy but pleasant back yard/ smoking area. Reasonably priced pint of masterbrew in good condition

Nice chilled beer and cool atmosphere

Very nice couple of pints of Bear Island. Good reception from the locals. Excellent virus controls. Really enjoyed.

Central location. Good price, lovely food! Friendly staff. 4 stars because of the wobbly table

What a lovely old pub situated opposite the clock tower on Herne Bay sea front. We have used this pub many times over the years and found this pub homely and friendly. We had Sunday dinner here recently for family of six and also our dog Casper. A lot of history associated with this establishment. Old artifacts all around inside for you to look at. Friendly bar staff. Would highly recommend for Sunday dinner if visiting Herne Bay after a long walk.

Good, reasonably priced pub food and dog friendly, what more could I want? Maybe a couple more vegetarian and/ or vegan options would be nice but the spicy bean burger is good and so is the fish and chips, and my son says the steak burger is good so.. .
