Pier Hotel Restaurant in Dartford

I have been using the Pier a lot just lately and always receive a cheerie welcome from Phil the landlord and bar staff as they are very professional.Also the food is of a high standard and very varied in choose as my favourite is the fish&chips on Friday plus the Sunday roast with friends & neighbours.

My partner and I enjoy this pub, particularly a glass of wine whilst watching the boats on the river. This week we were overwhelmed by the staff who went out of their way to make our visit special. I casually mentioned that we were doing the Keto diet so probably wouldn't be eating. We ordered our wine and sat outside. Within 5 minutes the barmaid had consulted with the chef who offered to prepare us both a home cooked chicken caesar salad (not on menu), to accommodate us. He proudly served us up the dish which was spectacular. Staff are friendly and can't do enough for you. What a find.

Great service and food. Staff very helpful.

This was a delight.....good draft beer, friendly reception, speedy service and excellent bar food. The complete reverse of the nearby Sir John Franklin where a surly welcome informed there was no draft beer and the kitchen closed at 1 O' Clock. The Pier Hotel is spot on

Charming old pub with views over the Thames. Almost felt like you were by the sea. Just stopped in for family lunch. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice place good service and food

Came here unplanned last minute on Father's Day having recently moved to the area. I'd been a couple of weeks before with my partner to try the pub out and was very happy with the experience. Very welcoming and reasonably priced, food was excellent both times. The Sunday roast in particular was very nice, with generous portion sizes. Three meat option went down a treat - will be back again soon to try out the Curry Night!

Good lunch stop on the Thames Estuary Coastal path, and open until 3pm. Situated in a picturesque High Street, with welcoming staff and interesting interior. Fish and chips is recommended, draft lager was nice and chilled, loos were quaint.

Only had a drink outside. Bar staff polite. Decor a bit run down

Cozy, sophisticated, expensive place.

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere, the food is phenomenal, all the staff are amazing, and Phil the owner is a true Legend.

Visited this pub alone, as a widow newly resident in Greenhithe and found a place I felt comfortable. Barmaid, Claire, was warm and welcoming and willing to chat with me when she wasn’t busy. A lovely human being that made me feel welcome! Absolutely recommend this bar on that experience! 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻💖💖

Really lovely food and staff. Had a nice convo with another couple about how good their food was as well (thumbs up all round!) Relaxed and very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this spot!

The food was very good and large servings. You won't leave hungry. The service was very good and the chef was very polite and helpful. You get a good choice of food to suit every one. If you live locally it's a little gem. Very good price for the amount of food that you get. Recommend you try it.

This is by far the worste place i have ever eaten! We ate here a short while ago and the food was lovely, the quality has gone down hill rapidly! Such a shame as the food used to be lovely! The beef was like eating my grandads wallet. We was asked how the food was, when we gave both the chef and waitress feedback they laughed. Inbetween there duties the barmaids was vaping non stop and also whilst they are serving. You would eat better at Darenth Valley hospital. We will not be eating here ever again. Waste of time and money. This does not warrant even 1 star if I could give minus stars I would, pelt.

The worst possible service! After we gave a feedback that the beer we ordered was tasting "funny" and sour, which happens with draft beer, one of the barmades asked us to choose a replacement. After 5mins we were told by a different barmade we had to pay again, because the landlord said so and because nobody else had complained all day?! Of course we refused and our replacement beers were taken away from us, we were screamed at by the badmade and the landlord just for giving an honest feedback, they refused to try the beer with the excuse they didn't drink!!! We were told to leave, so no beer, but we paid. So a landlord who don't drink and can't taste his product! An overall the worst and most embarrassing pub experience in my life! If you're not one of the regulars AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!

I ordered sausage and mash . It came with battered onion rings which weren’t really suitable - should have been fresh cooked no batter . They tasted of salt and vinegar too which worried me . The gravvy was very thin and the plate was swimming in it . Totally poor meal . However my friends meal , a beetroot tart was good . My apple pie at £ 7.50 ! was small bc and barely any custard . Disappointing .

Been in here several times, an was served one the best Ploughman’s you could find for miles. Oh dear what a reverse, this was very sadly a poor experience. Described as Pork Pie Ploughman’s the main ingredients looked like the came from the cheapest pile it high supermarket Farm Foods or the like. The cheese was process sliced, no crumbly cheddar or selection here. One small pack of butter, for a large baguette. The salad , onions and apple were ok. However, the headline Pork Pie was inedible it didn’t look like pork pie , didn’t taste like pork pie, and was truly disgusting. A was the smallest individual pie you could find. Ok appreciate you need to make a living from selling food, but this at £13.50 was robbery. I doubt the plate contents challenged the £2 mark. Very disappointed after my previous “one of the best” experience.

I think, They should keep eye on customer when they leave @ least 20 minutes are they well or not

New chef and new catering offer. Excellent! Enjoyed a really nice leisurely lunch with friends and neighbours. Food was freshly cooked and served by friendly people, who turned out to be the Chef and his wife who have recently started the new catering offer in this family friendly pub. Restaurant hours lunchtimes and evenings only. You are unlikely to be disappointed. Try it and then tell your friends.

Food was amazing the roast dinner was so good. The new restaurant staff are so lovely. Would recommend Sunday dinner we never really go out for a dinner on Sunday we’re definitely going back.

Great Sunday roast and excellent desserts clear plates all round. Kids highly recommended the Yorkshire Puddings

Great new menu, excellent service Hats of to the Chef

A lovely friendly pub with attentive staff and great food. Sunday roasts a must. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Love it here . Service and food fantastic

Amazing food here! just had the ploughman’s, great craic with chef! the pubs definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic roast dinner, lots of veg and meat. Served by Amy who was very welcoming and attentive, a credit to the company. Highly recommended a visit.

One of the best local pubs in Greenhithe area. Everyone’s really friendly, hardly any wait for drinks and the food is delicious. Highly recommend

Our son in law had his 40th party here. The buffet was very nice and varied to suit all tastes. The area was at the rear of the pub with access to the outside area. The staff were really nice and very accommodating. The guests were not hassled and rubbish and glasses were cleared away discreetly

Most disappointing Sunday roast and dessert Unfriendly staff Definitely won't return The meals were a good size but badly cooked And really not worth the cost Sticky toffee pudding looked like it had exploded in the bowl

Went for a Sunday dinner with family and it was great food was lovely and the service was excellent staff also extremely friendly x x

Great pub, excellent outdoor patio area and the food is delicious.

I booked an afternoon tea here recently for my Mum’s birthday. We received a warm welcome and the staff were attentive and went out of their way at all times. The afternoon tea itself was beautifully presented with sandwiches and cakes that were delicious and fresh. I would definitely recommend this afternoon tea experience for special occasions or as a treat - it really was fantastic.

Lovely old building with a great character. Liked this boozer

Popped in for a roast dinner with my partner today. And we could not have been happier with the service! Particularly Julia who did everything she could to get us seated without a priar reservation. Food was great also. Top marks for amazing customer service and food 👌

We are blessed in this country with history around us and this pub in this village is like winding the clocks back 150 years when stagecoaches would bring wealthy gentry to this overnight stay on there way to or from , what would then be four day journey to the likes of Canterbury and back . You can literally feel and touch history , enjoy the lovely food on offer and wash it down with a glass of your choice . A unique experience is yours to be had . This pub and this village is our heritage . Enjoy it

Great atmosphere terrific grub nice views of the river.

Lovely people, fantastic location on the waterfront and they did us a wonderful tasty buffet for a private event.

We have used this Pub and Restaurant twice for a private function. They are lovely people, easy to communicate with and the buffet spread was delicious and very generous. Being able to open the doors to the deck overlooking the River Thames is especially lovely. I thoroughly recommend them.

A very nice little pub, good atmosphere and they serve some goyo beer 🍺 Happy and friendly start. A good selection of beer, wines and spirits are available. There is a good sized outside seating area with views over the river. Parking at the rear is limited, but off road parking is available. They also have a large TV where they show the sport. Enjoy.

Fantastic! Came here for a roast on sunday & was left stuffed! Service was swift and very friendly, will be returning no doubt!

The food is delicious 😍the service & staff are the greatest super helpful, always have the best time when I’m there .Definitely recommend for everyone .

Lovely food, lovely staff, can’t complain 5 star

Lovely staff, tasty food , great atmosphere!! What else do you need. You won’t be disappointed!!!!! ❤️

Nice atmosphere and bar staff but could possibly do with a bit of a sympathetic update.

I booked up a meal with friends before Christmas. Everyone enjoyed the meal. The portion sizes were very generous. Plenty of meat veg and gravy and very delicious. the table had plenty of room to move, didn't feel hemmed in. The waitresses were very bubbly and friendly and gave a great service. We all want to come back again.

Excellent service very nice service great atmosphere

Great food. Really well presented. Very friendly helpful and welcoming staff. Will definitely go again and recommend to friends

We booked a Sunday lunch and I'm glad we did, it was delicious, I don't know how they do it for the price, so much meat. The staff were friendly and genuine. If this place is a option go for it, you won't regret it.

Best roast I have had in the UK, amazing gravy. Friendly staff, great atmosphere to watch a football game.

Really nice location. The pub is your classic one but the atmosphere is nice and enjoyable. We'll definitely come back

Roasts to die for - lovely family run pub

As a complete foodie that has always been reluctant to go out for Sunday lunch anywhere with the thought that no one can produce a roast like I’ve tried to perfect at home 😅, I saw a photo of the roast dinner on offer here and I honestly thought to myself, it’s exactly what I want to see on my plate! So we gave it a try and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations massively! A proper home cooked roast dinner with no part of the plate a disappointment. The meats were cooked to perfection, the roast potatoes like my own (no frozen rubbish here), the vegs were very generous and the gravy out of this world. I think the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food produced and the staff were very attentive and friendly from the minute we walked through the door to the moment we left. A little hidden gem that deserves to be noticed. I look forward to trying some of the other home cooked dishes they offer!

Had a lovely Sunday roast here with my family.

Travelled from Aberystwyth for a family gathering Saturday, decided to book here for Sunday lunch before travelling home . Although a little hungover we all enjoyed the food . There was so much of it. The staff were really friendly and chatty , very welcoming. Highly recommend

We were a party of 13 and booked Sunday lunch. It was delicious, service was great and Amy, the chef, was very accommodating. Thank you!

Went for an afternoon lunch, which was very good, the baguettes with chips and salad are good value and taste lovely. Service was friendly, and excellent location with views on to the Thames at Greenhithe.

Went here for a cracking roast. Is a proper old school style pub, staff are lovely and friendly and the quality of food is great will definitely return.

Really generous portions, meats all cooked to perfection. The gravy is better than I've ever had at home or in a pub. Vegetables all served separately which is perfect to share as a family or just to pick what you like. Thoroughly recommend a roast on Sunday at the Pier. Perfect to be able to pre book so you can show up and know that everything you ordered is ready and available for the table.

A fab local dog friendly pub with welcoming staff and fresh cooked food. Claire, Aimee, Holly and Julie are great with my son and dog, and Amy makes an excellent roast dinner with fresh veg, crispy roast potatoes and decent sized portions. Definitely somewhere worth returning to and a welcome change to some chain pubs.

Visited the pier hotel many times and it’s never disappointed me - food is delicious and staff are there to help with any queries. Will be visiting again 👍🏻

Love coming to this pub. The atmosphere is great, staff are friendly & helpful, and the food in particular is phenomenal. The Sunday roasts are very popular and if you head down to try one you'll see why!! Hands down some of the best roast...

Friendly riverside pub, small'ish garden with Thames in sight.

Lovely food! Omelette is my favourite 😍 10 out of 10 - cooked to perfection! Beautiful and fluffy 🤤

Very nice place friendly staff and excellent food.

Had Tripute. Awful. Poor quality.

Nice looking pub but they do not clean their pipes. The tribute ale tasted like cider! Really poor!!!

With a group of friends, good atmosphere, lovely food, one of my group said the cheese and biscuits board was the best they have had, which I agreed with, the only downside was the selection of real ale

I absolutely love this place the owner is so friendly and her food is amazing she makes it all from scratch with such beautiful flavours she caters for all needs I will be leaving greenhithe to move elsewhere but when I come back here this...

Great Thames views. Better if they unlock gate to allow access from rear. Staff took care pouring full pints of Tribute

Awsome place. Friendly staff and amazing food.

Wad going to eat but prices on a 5 star hotel review . 8 pounds ham sandwich . 12 pounds ham egg and chips . 15 pounds scampi . Come on your our local . We not dining at the ritz ..

My friend and I took our two 4 year old boys to this pub for Sunday dinner. The food took quite a while to come out and boys being boys they were playing and talking fairly loudly. Not loud enough for any staff to come...

Would give this 0 stars if I could. Food took a very long time to come out, and staff were very dismissive. I was appalled to witness customers shouting at a couple of ladies and their children, and staff did nothing to assist the ladies, they left the customers to shout abuse at them, followed by giving the poor girl the bill and making them leave. You could tell the restaurant had sided with their regulars- all who seemed out of touch with what it is like to have young children, and felt their presence was more important than these young children and women. Mob like behaviour, we will not be back. There was no understanding, we could see they were all fed up waiting for their food, and were just being typical boys and amusing themselves! For a restaurant to go with the easy option and keep their regulars happy while assisting them in their attack of these young ladies is vile. There are no words to describe how disgusted I am. I will not be back, and I will be making sure others are aware of this

Homecooked food, something for everyone!

Fantastic The landlady was so helpful, felt very welcome. We had scampi and chips, was lovely and very good price Thanks

Had x4 Fantastic meals. Guinness is very good as well.

Great old pub feel Very friendly and of course cold beer

Met some friends here for lunch. We know it fairly well having eaten here many times. It would be true to say its not the type of pub we'd choose for an evening drink as it could get a bit lively i would say !...

Friendly local pub. Good service. Good beer. Did not eat but by chatting to other customers the food is very good.

Very pleasant local with good food. Even though we just had chips....everyone else was raving about the Sunday roast. Me....they have Tribute on draught !

A hidden Jem of a place . Good beer great food nice staff and a river view. What's not to like. No parking but a public car park up the hill on the right.

Great food friendly staff and fantastic river views

Highly recommend a visit, service good and the food is great. The staff are very welcoming

Excellent service and felt welcome by everyone there. If you are nearby I would highly recommend a visit.

Food is good staff are very helpful and the beer is good too

Still in partial lockdown but the outside space for this pub gives a front-side seat to the river Thames. Food is always good and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Great service helpful and great beer

Holly was a great bar made keep up the great work friendly and helpful

Please could you consider making the covered shelter outside non smoking and open area for smoking?

Great Local Pub, highly recommend.

Wonderful. Friendly staff. Great home cooked food ( the smoked mackerel and horseradish paté is a thing of wonder and beauty). Been going here for almost 20 years on and off and the staff make you feel like a regular the minute you walk in.

Food was amazing. Staff were awesome. Nice atmosphere and great view of the river from the garden!

The food is fresh and tasty, the service is friendly.

Rude staff realy over cooked cod

Great place and staff are friendly

Quiet pub, easy to socially distance, friendly staff. Decent garden with an industrial Thames view.

Decent pub grub, if you know what I mean. The various birds behind the jump always provide good banter and generally pleasant. Good place to watch the gentrification of Greenhithe.

The venue catered very well for our family function lovely venue nice outdoor area with views of Thames They supplied a buffet which was fantastic. A very personable place to hold a function staff were great

This pub is consistently very good indeed. Service is personal, attentive and the food never disappoints. It is well presented, fresh and reasonably priced. I go about once every 6 weeks and have never had a bad word to say about it.
