Hogarth Inn in Medway

The fab restaurant is back open and we had a wonderful roast dinner. Very reasonably priced and hot with extra gravy provided. The beef was lovely and tender. Goose fat roasties and a massive yorky.

Took my family for Sunday lunch, had a fabulous meal and looked after by a very bubbly waitress called Anne. The food was amazing with a choice of meats and plenty of vegetables. After nearly 5 years we have a great little restaurant/pub we can be proud of.

Such an amazing roast today! Couldn’t fault it in any way. And we all left with full bellies. Can’t wait for the next one. Anyone looking for a friendly environment and a tasty roast head to the Hogarth and you won’t be disappointed.

Had a couple down here with me sister and co but i live in Dublin. I.tried a Guinness, which i rarely bother doing in Uk because i usually drink my Guinness in The Hut in Phibsboro (out of this world Guinness) but this pint was.... wait for it.... one of the best pints of the black stuff this side of the pond that I have tried. Well done Hogarth. I'm impressed.

Popped in after a long walk, before getting a bus for return journey. Great atmosphere in this ancient pub of outstanding character. Friendly staff and locals, roaring fire to warm by. Well worth the visit.

Great little village pub, nice beer service is excellent.

Very friendly well run old worldy pub

Arrived, it was Dark, heavy smell of cigarettes, not a friendly welcome, empty pub. THEY DO NOT SERVE FOOD. Asked why the sign says Hot Home Cooked Food. The snarled reply was " It's an Old Sign" After lockdown I would have thought they would be trying harder to reclaim lost custom.

Nice little village pub, excellent service. Would def visit again.

Really friendly people and great service

This would be my dinking hole... Went in looking for food, however, they are not serving at the moment. Staff friendly, fire, pool table and dart board - I wish my local were this well equipped.

This is a very old typical village pub,with lots of character

This place does NOT do any food. Even through the sign outside says they do food and sunday roasts. They do NOT.

Went in there but wernt do doing food at the time. Nut nice looking old pub!

Really nice pub, we'll go again for the Grain Carnival on 18th July!

Haven't been yet so will let you know more when we do

Friendly, but under new management and getting into the swing of it. Food not available when we were there, but was planned.

All staff friendly and a lovely atmosphere but was lacking any food in the redundant restaurant ,so much more could be made with this pub the only one in the village but the great locals still make it a friendly place to drink.

Not particularly welcoming. Felt cliquey but at least was open for a drink after a long walk.

A friendly welcome from locals as we had a welcome pint whilst walking the marshes

Nice pub. Unfortunately no real ales available

No power for laptops, how backward!!!

Went here on the back of reading all the glowing reports on trip advisor and I have to say I am really let down.. I am a lone traveller so it takes a lot for me to walk into a pub on my own and the welcome I got was anything but friendly. I went into the ‘quiet’ side of the pub and waited patiently for the staff to serve me. Having gone in the pub for dinner after a long day travelling I was greeted by a less than happy face Which instantly put me on the back foot! when I asked politely if they were serving food I got a very abrupt ‘no’ with no explanation. I asked why and was told in a very curt and rude manner that there was no chef. With that I turned around and left the pub immediately. I do not think in this day and age there is any excuse for rudeness when all that needed to be said was an apology explaining there was no chef this evening.

Went here on a sunday night for a quiet drink because our local was shut, nice staff, lovely old sckool pub

Great pub, great food, great atmosphere, cyclist friendly to boot.

I visited the Hogarth Inn with a large group of cyclists yesterday and I was super impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food and drink! (we were all really hungry!). There's outside seating and lots of space indoors (split into loud and quiet areas).

Lovely place. Large size dinner, very nice!

Nice old pub but be prepared to be stared at if you are not seen as a local

I love it the food is fantastic

Polite staff ,homely environment and good food ,fairly priced

Not a particularly characterful hostelry, but the sandwich and pint did tbe business.

A very nice dog-friendly pub. The portion sizes are very generous, so better order conservatively!

We’ve dined here a few times since discovering this pub last summer. I can’t recommend it enough. The food is well cooked with generous portions and reasonably priced. The hunter’s chicken is, according to my dad, the best he’s ever had. There is no higher praise!

Beautiful dinner & the service was very good,

Very happy to report friendly attentive staff, and nice and quiet. Food arrived promptly, and wow!,, stunning meal. beer battered cod (yes cod,not river cobbler). The meal and setting was really pleasing. Prices were really good and the quality was even better. We will definitely be popping back again.

Great roast dinner. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend 😊

Proper historic pub that also does food. 10 miles at least from town. Took first motorcycle ride of the year in that direction now the roads arent covered in salt and the visit to The Hogarth wasnt planned. However, it seemed rude not to stop for a drink. Also the road ends in 400 mtrs ! Despite its village location we were not only warmly greeted by customers but when we realised we were short of money ( unplanned visit, just out for a ride ), a local offered to pay for our drinks ! Never in 40 years has this happened and other pub regulars were really welcoming. We will be back, might even bring some money next time !!

First visit and would recommend it. Staff friendly and helpful and food very nice and good choice. We will go back

Friendly service and amazing food. Perfect for kids too. Highly recommend.

Taken to this pub yesterday for my birthday lunch Probably the best Sunday roast I've ever had! Well worth a visit. Will definitely go back. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.

Nice people and family friendly staff good place to go for food and a day out

Top class food and drink.friendly staff.Worth a visit.

Lovely meal and superb food. Thank you so much!

Great old pub with excellent food and very friendly staff.

Good food, reasonably priced and served by pleasant staff, chilli beef was great although my daughter has not eaten jalapeños before, priceless photo opportunity!, kids meal of burgers and chips with beans was enjoyed by my 7 year old, and the club sandwich was awesome, beer well kept and fairly priced, we will get back there soon.

We went here because all of the other Pubs were closed (at lunchtime) and we were not expecting a lot. I tried the "Wild Boar Scotch Egg with Beetroot Salad. It was prepared from fresh ingredients by the Chef, taking about half an hour to prepare but was absolutely delicious and a big surprise to find cooking that good in a pub miles from anywhere. It cost about £5.00. Above and beyond the call of duty and well worth a mention.

Best English food ever, worth coming from London for a tasty and good price lunch. Lovely staff and facilities. We're coming back. By The only non-local people

Lovely pub very friendly and great food

The Hogarth Inn has a comfortable dining room serving beautifully cooked and tasty food in very friendly environment. Will definitely revisit when we are in that area again.

Great little pub in the village of Grain. It's the kind of old style pub that I love. Great decor and you need to try their roasts, 3 courses for something silly like £14 and each course is massive and the roast is superb.

Great value for money and friendly service. Food quality very good

Fantastic bar food. Excellent warm Service. I highly recommend it as was made to feel so welcome and the food was first class.

Without doubt one of the favorite hotels I stayed during my time in the UK! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and general manager, our names were mentioned on the board and we were upgraded to the Paradise Suite. The staff was extremely friendly, the restaurant very flexible (appreciate this!) and the restaurant supervisor deserves a special thanks. We had two great evenings here, which obviously also added up to the experience. The second day we did a village trekking. I truly enjoyed walking the three of us through the village. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The natural bath on the end was a great way to end the trekking. Note, this is not a 4/5-star hotel or so, but the atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to me. All respect for the general manager who does a great job here; a true sample of excellent hospitality!

Lovely little pub in the village l, cannot fault it

Fabulous lunch time menu. Lovely food very attentive staff. Will be back Had a pleasant conversation with friends as no loud downing music. A lovely ladies lunch.

Lovely traditional pub, great service, friendly staff and excellent food plus value for money

Over the weekend we went to visit my partners family and we went to the Hogarth for a meal on Saturday. I have to say to a very welcoming old world pub and the food was excellent. The garlic mussels in white wine and garlic sauce were delicious. We went for a drink Sunday after noon and thank you we won 2 meat raffles.A very wonderful atmosphere . All in all a good place to visit

I've seen a crappy review from an idiot who didn't even enter the building, ignore the Muppet. The Hogarth is great, great beer, excellent staff and brilliant food. It's good value and my family don't stop talking about the place. Just booked another two tables

Great prices and nice food, so a great pint.

Just ate Sunday lunch at the Hogarth Inn pub on the Isle of Grain and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Fantastic value for money and quality of food is exceptional for a local pub. Friendly landlord, waitresses and local customers, can't go wrong.

Delicious 3 courses for myself and hubby, generous portions, perfectly cooked liver and bacon for me and Bream for other half. Starters, crab, and chicken pate. Desserts, white choc cheesecake, and Eton Mess. Lots of choice, helpful and friendly staff. Very reasonable prices. Food freshly cooked and v hot. Will definitely visit again.

Arrived to this quaint establishment on a weekday. Barstaff friendly and helpful and was quickly seated in the restaurant. My partner had a steak & ale pie with vegetables + potatoes which he commented were cooked exceptionally well. I had the cheese ploughmans which was also very good. We had an ale & lime and soda. The prices are very reasonable and there is a garden to enjoy. Do go and try it you wont be disappointed.

Massive potions of food, reasonably priced. Friendly staff. A must if your near

Lovely Sunday lunch with family,great food friendly staff will definitely go again and recommend to friends.

Had a nice lunch here though noticed afterwards that worryingly the fire exit to the car park was blocked by empty beer barrels.

Decided to take my dad for a beer and the place looked great so we invited the rest of the family down for lunch, all eight of us raved about the food, every meal was well presented, decent portions and high quality home cooking.

Popped into the Hogarth for a drink after a lovely walk around Grain coastal park today 05.08.2018 in the glorious sunshine with our two white German Shepard Dogs (not white for long as the tide was out) We had spotted the Hogarth on the way so had a quick check of the reviews, all good so we popped in on our way back. Super friendly team and extremely welcoming locals, we were offered water for the dogs at least four times which was lovely. Absolutely cracking place and we will most definitely return for food as the food leaving the kitchen looked lovely. Well done guys

Dropped in about 8pm on a Monday evening after walking along the coast and out to the fort.

Massive gathering outside the pub , shows how popular this establishment is! Queue inside wasn’t too bad and service was swift and polite! Great idea to have plastic cups for drinks as majority of drinkers were outside pub awaiting the carnival floats!

We were here after the 2-0 loss of England against Belgium. It is a really nice looking building were the pub is situated, Inside friendy bar-staff and the possibilty to eat something.

Lovely food location and staff ☺

Superb food, friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere highly recommend a visit

Lovely pub. Very pleasant service.

Booked the Hogarth for a buffet on Friday - WOW - what a result. Food was amazing - and just kept coming. All were accommodated so - grateful thanks to Paul, Debbie and everyone involved

Had a nice Sunday Roast with my wife.Meat was cooked well (had the medley - turkey,beef & lamb).Roast potatoes & veg really nice (maybe a few more roast potatoes😉🖒)Friendly efficient staff.Nice pub & cheap price for a roast £7.50.Worth a visit.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went for lunch today. Food good - home made pie was large and tasty but too much for my partner as he had just had the camembert for a starter so an apology was hopefully passed to the chef to assure him/her that there was nothing wrong with the cooking! My fish and chips were really good too but couldn't eat the batter not because it wasn't really tasty just that the diet won't allow it. Staff very polite and friendly and finally my standard for any establishment is the ladies loos. Spotlessly clean and therefore a good indicator of the high standards set by the owners.

Popped in yesterday for Sunday lunch as we had been out walking and saw this pub as we were passing through. What a great pub! It was busy but all the staff (and customers) were very friendly and polite. It was warm enough to sit in the garden and our roast lamb and ham egg and chips were both lovely and incredibly good value. It struck me as a pub that’s very much the heart of its community, and I will definitely be back now I’ve found my way to Grain.

Lovely pub, staff, food, setting everything! Enjoy!

Went for lunch today excellent service wonderful food and staff certainly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Will definitely be back again.

Super accommodating and polite when loads of us hungry cyclists arrived from London! Nice cosy atmosphere with (not too loud) music, you can tell the owners really look after the place. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Hogarth Inn!

It might be a homely pub but it felt as if the owners/workers took advantage of customers/tourists who they thought are one-off visitors. Also, the food is as fresh as what you get at the back of a food truck.

Fantastic food. Service is brilliant. Staff all kind and very helpful will definitely come back.

Some of the best fish and chips I’ve had - served with a smile! Just a very homely local pub, with very nice staff and excellent food! Perfect mid cycle fuel stop

Well kept Adnams Ghost Ship and staff who managed to managed to get me a good lunch after a 2 hour cycle, when they were already busy with huge lunch party. Good people.

Fab beef Sunday roast, beef was plentful and tender.

Love the grub here and the friendly atmosphere. Need to get football on the box and it will be perfect. Landlord and landlady pleasant.

Nice village pub with great food

Been there 2 or 3 times now as a drive out for a bit of lunch, never disappoints. Sunday 3 people 3 different meals all saying how great the food is.

After unsuccessfully trying to book a meal for 11 family members at three different pub/restaurants (The Star, The Brewers and The Manor farm),that didn't want to accommodate a large party, we went to our local pub the Hogarth Inn on the Isle of Grain. They gladly accepted a large party without pre-booking and we had a fantastic meal and time. It's very good for the grandchildren as the restaurant area is separate from the pub and so doesn't disturb anyone. The food and the service was excellent, making for a very enjoyable afternoon for everyone in my party and to top it all off it was at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend having a meal at the Hogarth Inn, especially if you are a family.

Came to this lovely little pub with my mrs and friend today for lunch as reviews were good i cannot complement the chef enough i had beer battered cod light fluffy fantastic my friend had the homemade chicken an chorizo pie with the chef made specially for him without onions and the mrs had a ham an mustard baguette with cheesy chips all was superb for such a quaint quiet location will be back for sure.

Lovely family run traditional pub

Good food, good service, great place to take friends for an evening out.

Friendly, cosy place at the end of the Hoo peninsula.

This was a good pub that fed us a plentiful plate of food when we were hungry. Nice recognisable choices.

Really enjoyed our Sunday roast here, massive selection on menu , veryvfresh home cooked roast. Really nice and very reasonable in price , 3 meals and 3 drinks for under £30 and full tummy's.

Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic value for money. I was blown away at just how good the Hogarth inn is.

Had a Good lunch. Waitress brill. and sell desparado beer..

Pre booked as our visit was a fairly large group 5 adults, 3 elder children and 4 smaller children.

Very courteous service and good food. The place is full of character

My partner and I visited on a Friday night.
