Flying Saucer in Medway

Sooooo sad to see this place go. Sam, ollie, Ross, Caroline and Matt are soooo amazing and make you feel so welcome, i wish you all luck for the future. Really wish this wasn't the end. Going to miss games afternoons, quiz evening and just the general meet up for a drink and food with the local friends. 😥😥😥

Very nice PH at the moment, but not for long . Good luck

rip off pints, bad toilets, slow staff - good riddance. shutting soon thankfully

Just had a beer no food although it looked really good

Generally very good, the food was good and the service was excellent. I wasn't blown away, but ir was all perfectly adequate. Only thing letting the side down was the pub itself it just looks really run down.

My little family came here today for dinner it was a last minuite booking but we got a table and when we arrived we were greeted by the bar staff who are very friendly and welcoming, food was really good and we didnt wait too long there is a variety of choice aswell, really enjoyed our evening out here and will be back Thankyou

Wow what a lovely pub good food and good beers

I’ve never left a review before & really felt I should. When I pop in for dinner by myself or with my daughter there’s always a lovely welcoming from staff but in particular Caroline. Caroline is so attentive, kind & can never do enough. Caroline is always running around attending to not just mine but all customer needs. Caroline uplifts the whole custom. Well done! You’re a credit to The Saucer @ Hempstead.

I went there for the first time for drinks with my partner and was pleasantly surprised it was automatically very welcoming by a lovely member of staff named Rachel service was excellent and very helpful , atmosphere was nice and same lady spoke with us while cleaning tables next to us and let us know about events like quiz night and karaoke which we are very excited about ! Definitely be returning “

Took my mum and grandad there for the mother's day meal/roast.... Brilliant food brilliant staff and they had football on the multi screens they have easily a 10 out of 10 pub restaurant forgot to take photos of food but will be back😁😁😁

We had a warm welcome from Caroline, and the food was good ,menu choice was good too ,can’t wait to return with family, thank you for an enjoyable time.would like to try a Sunday roast.

A good pub is always packed but pricey

Green king pub , garden and plenty of parking Warm welcome

The staff were amazing and helpful with a last minute celebration for my birthday and really pulled out all the stops to help and provide a table and food for the evening. They are so kind and friendly and we regularly visit on a Friday with our children and they are always very accommodating and helpful. Lovely local and so warm and welcoming.

Excellent pub, I drink in a few Greene King pubs, with mixed experiences. Many have poor General Managers from experience, however the Saucer always has an excellent atmosphere, excellent clientele, the service is brilliant. Sam, the GM has everything just right. Two stand outs for me are Ollie and Matt. They let you have a good time, never make you feel like “Headmaster is Watching” and there are no horrible toxic GM and staff like I have seen in some other GK pubs in the area. My elderly mother (71 years) feels comfortable having the odd drink on a Friday night. Thank you Sam and Matt and Ollie are a credit. Excellent! X

Oli and Matt were amazing was never left waiting for a beer the place was clean and tidy perfect for a Monday afternoon top work keep it up

Great pub. Staff were brilliant and food was excellent value for money.

AVOID!! Worst staff I've come across in all my years drinking in this country and abroad. Staff arguing with each other, shouting and swearing at customers, staff drunk on and off duty, lack of hygiene staff stroking, cuddling and picking up dogs then serving food and drinks without washing their hands, likewise chef using toilet again not washing his hands afterwards. What can only be described as shady deals between staff members and between staff and some customers. Lack of management and leadership

Went for Dinner last night and the food was fantastic! Husband was very impressed with the beer selection available too. All round a great evening and atmosphere. Will be back very soon.

Went for dinner and drinks with friends last night and the welcome is always lovely. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly, I had the sirloin steak and it was cooked to a perfect medium, thanks Ross and the price was very good too. We then went on to have a few cocktails as Oli explained the flying saucer are doing 2 for 1 after 8pm and showed us the drinks that were included. Couldn't ask for better service from your local pub. See you again soon

Haven't been in here for years must say very impressed we normally use the fox but thought we would have a change so glad we did

Proper pub . Good beer. Great staff. Will use each time I'm in the area

A little slow for food but when it came very nice, friendly staff

Disappointed that we couldn't have the festive menu because we hadn't pre booked, however very friendly staff and efficient service

Been coming here since we moved to Hempstead 18 years ago. Fabulous pub, amazing staff, we come here a lot because of the wonderful service and welcome we get.

What a great experience! My kids had a great time, Caroline the elf and Santa made my kids day! Food was great, the interaction and entertainment from the staff made their pre Christmas event extra enjoyable, Ross in the kitchen made a stunning brunch! Much recommended

Yesterday we had a festive Fayre meal booked for 15 friends and family and it was an absolute success! From start to finish the booking process was seamless and there was always someone on the other end of the phone to answer any questions I had. We were looked after by Heidi also on the day, who is an absolute ray of sunshine and will always go above and beyond for you. The food was 10/10 and the chef popped out to check that everything was ok which I thought was a lovely touch. I will absolutely be organising more family get togethers here in future!

First visit here and I'll definitely be coming back. Great atmosphere, great staff! Tom and Matt made me feel welcome as a lone drinker. Introducing themselves and recommended a few nice drinks for me to try. Thanks guys! I'll definitely be back!

Great place, good atmosphere and nice people. Amazing bar service from a new guy, think called Tom :)

Excellent service and a great laugh, really enjoyed the meal and staff were fantastic

Typical Sunday lunch, other food from usual menu very tasty and hot. speedy attentive service.nice friendly atmosphere. Will visit again. Many thanks.

The staff were excellent and very accommodating for us. Food was prompt and warm. Enjoyable lunch!

A large group of us (19) went, they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Gave us the entire restaurant end of the pub and kept us informed throughout. Special thank you to Matt who went above and beyond to help. Food was well cooked without a single complaint from any of the group. Will happily be visiting again.

Great service, brilliant food would definitely recommend this pub- warm and welcoming . Good value for money

Lovely Bar Maid (person) Food good ,nice atmosphere. Hedi the bar maid works very hard working. Nice to have somewhere local that is good.

A very nice Pub with good food & drink. The staff are nice, friendly & courteous. Went there for an 80's themed music night hosted by a DJ back in February 2023 & it was a really good night out, Been there several times since then & if your looking for a nice pub to go to for a drink & or a meal during the day time or evening I can recommend this pub.

Staff are very helpful and helpful

Decent pint. Decent food. Need I say more!

We have been here several times, both as a couple and with all the family on Father's Day, the service and food is always faultless. The food is always fresh and hot, we've never had to wait too long and the chef will often ask us how if our meal is okay. Basic pub grub but clearly cooked with care and attention. Although we are not regulars, maybe once every month or two but the bar staff seem to recognise us and always greet us with a friendly hello. The photos on Trip Advisor do not do the pub justice, it's a lovely quaint pub and I will take some more up to date photos next time that we visit. We go out to lunch every week and so many pubs in the area are hit and miss but this one has been spot on every time. Keep up the great work guys!

This was our first visit to the Flying Saucer, had a lovely meal, staff so friendly and Chef had a chat with us, will definitely be back.

The staff are great here particularly Matt and Ollie the beers always good and the burgers are great. Excellent service from a brilliant local pub, The quiz on Thursdays is a must too! and dog friendly to boot!

This is a cracking pub. Very local but everyone is friendly and welcoming (gets very noisy on big football match nights but never rowdy). Matt is the best bartender I've ever met and Olly and Sam are brilliant. Thursday quiz night is awesome. Great drinks, very reasonable prices, good food cooked with care and attention - what more could you ask for?

Had a lovely meal here tonight very friendly staff .my chips were forgotten but was quickly sorted by Caroline who was very funny .we were well looked after and we will be going back again

Been drinking here for years, full of great locals.

Great food; a choice of well kept, reasonably priced ales including a guest and staff who are all very welcoming. A locals' boozer owned by a national brewery (Greene King) is a rarity. Just a shame I don't live close enough to make it my regular haunt. This pub deserves to buck the trend and succeed for the effort all the staff put in to making customers feel part of this pub's community. Keep up the good work.

Staff are friendly and amazing atmosphere

Went on a Sunday evening for a nice roast, I can say the food was amazing. Had a nice roast with pudding. The service was shocking, ordered at the table, took 35 minutes to get our drinks after asking for them. Then around 45 minutes for the food to come out, an around 50 minutes for the gravy to arrive, by this time the food started to get cold. Once finished the main, took around another 15 minutes for the pudding to arrive.

Attended as part of our kids end of season football awards, staff went above and beyond, food exceeded expectations. Great experience overall, would def recommend. Five Stars

Great place for an affordable lunch with family/friends. Friendly and professional service from Caroline.

What a lovely pub. Although it is owned by pub giant, Greene King brewery, it retains the feel of a local's local. They are blessed with a great team of staff, all of whom are friendly and welcoming. The cask ale is well looked after (usually 2). They even sell Belhaven Black in bottles which I have never seen elsewhere but is a delicious stout along with a range of craft bottled and canned beers. You can expect a trad pub food menu but when your food comes out, it is always presented well and piping hot. Care and attention is given which is sadly lacking in many chain pubs. A wholehearted thumbs up for this pub and we will continue to go back again and again as long as their high standards remain. Well done all. Keep up the great work!

The saff and the food was excellent my two friends were very happy that I chose to go there and will go again in two weeks time

Nice pub...food could be better and very slow service but nice atmosphere. Roast beef was good...Turkey was not real Turkey a sort of soft reformed meat disgusting....Yorkshire puddings still doughy inside...not cooked enough and garlic bread cold in the middle. .

Went here with wife for quiet lunch. We were delighted by food and drink choices available. And also the excellent service from Caroline. We will be going back.

Went for dinner tonight. House platter was nice and the signature fish and chips was Ace. Chef Ross is a top pub chef. Thank you

As good as a pub can be. Good food, good beer. Friendly locals.

Welcome and friendly for humans and dogs Matt and Rachel were amazing . As bing a local community most venues are clicky the flying saucer is welcoming

Homey pub, no pretensions. The food is good and the staff friendly. We visited 3 times in 2 weeks!

Good beer, good food, nice pub.

Busy and popular place but because of that very little seating available. Pints expensive at over £5 each!

Food was lovely and a decent size portion and the lady behind the bar was very friendly and welcoming

Had a lovely sunday lunch. Great food and reasonably priced. Really accommodating staff and the beer was good too. What more could you want.

Went there Saturday for a meal staff we very friendly the meal was fantastic we had signituare fish and chips. Hunters chicken. Steak and ale pie and scampi, and it was all very well cooked, very tasty, and great value for money. we will be going back highly recommended 👌

Great local pub with pretty good food.

Very clean pub and very happy with the service

Nice little PH with good tasty food and greeneking beer not busy at all at this time .Good outside smoking area and dog friendly 5 ☆

It's been a very long time since I have been in and the place seems very different. Much more light, friendly staff and doggo friendly.

Fun and friendly pub good is fantastic staff are great the chef (carol) is a wonderful person great cook and very friendly to everyone highly recommend the food

The food was ok, just as it is in any other Greene King Pub, however I cannot decide if the place is run down or it's shabby chic ? And boy was it cold inside 🥶🥶🥶🥶

Food good but service a little slow. Nice atmosphere.

Following a visit I found a very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was good. Will definitely return.

We have booked for 18 family members and have been very impressed with the help finalising every-one's choices. Heidi has been very helpful with this taking special note re peanut allergy for one of our granchildren, very pleased with her personal touch.

Pub was cold, no heating on, however, food was fine

Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Staff couldn't be more helpful Special thanks to Caroline who will now change her diet every 7 years 😊

Just been here for a few drinks with friends on Saturday. Great atmosphere! Matt and Olly were outstanding service, always friendly!

Excellent pub...Friendly efficient staff..lovely food..Good friendly atmosphere..will definitely come back...

Lovely family friendly pub. Staff are welcoming, especially Heidi. Definitely worth a visit all year round.

Staff always make you feel welcome (Heidi). The food is great especially the Gammon its always lovely. Big thank you to Heidi always happy and will go out of her way to cater for your needs.

Lively pub, had drinks with friends

Wanted fish n chips but they had none , so had all day brunch which was delicious 😋 staff were extremely helpful 👍 I'll be back ☺️

Lovely lunch served by super friendly Caroline. House Pinot cheap and good. Very friendly atmosphere.

A great restaurant. We came for a family lunch and the food was great with the usual selection from a Hungry Horse menu. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Free parking in the car park, which wasn't too busy when we visited

Nice friendly pub/restaurant good service

Went with a friend had two meals for £13.49 Mon to Fri , which were lovely and freshly cooked. Caroline and Heidi really friendly and brought out the birthday cake I took for my friend and sang Happy Birthday. Definitely going back .

Meh, food was decent, staff unsure on tele channels (couple people asking for Wolves/City game, greene king boozer! Lot of older people, me and the boy had lunch and went

Regular at the FS. Love the service and special events (Board games on Tuesdays and even due to start French learning). Special thanks to Matt and Ollie for looking after us (Luca the Labrador loves the fuss and treats)

Lovely service and food well cooked /presented. Good parking and easy access. Recommended

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch would recommend to anyone. Roast beef and turkey was tender deserts lovely. atmosphere was good, service was friendly and efficient

What a pleasure it was to eat quality cooked and very well presented food, a big well done to the lady chef. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Thanks for an enjoyable evening.

Returned recently and had a wonderful Sunday Lunch. A very much a happy family pub with dog friendly attitude. Sunday lunch was very good along with a good bottle of chilled Californian zinfadel wine. Good selection of beer and drinks with friendly staff. Large garden with plenty of parking. I like the name of this pub but never saw any flying saucers, but maybe we did......

Usually open until 1 on a Friday night, however they decided to close early because “it’s been too busy” and the lady behind the bar is tired. Not really good when the place is still packed. Supposed to be a customer based business. Shame.

Nice clean pub .Food looked good . Was only there for drinks but,was made to feel welcome .visit again soon .

Ordered food 20 mins later came out to say they didn’t have one of the starters we had ordered so I ordered something different then 1 hr 30 later Informed us they had no burger buns as 2 people had ordered burgers so re ordered...
