Nice place, friendly staff, great place to watch the footie, only downfall for us personally is that dogs aren't allowed, we do understand but it would be great if they were even just allowed in the garden then we would visit more often 😊🍺🐾

We didn't eat here, but the food seems to be very good and home cooked. There is only one person serving in the day, which is quite busy, so a bit of a wait at times. The price of Guiness is too high at £5.90! Also no real ale available. A good friendly crowd of locals, never any trouble. Good pub for watching sport on 3 or 4 large screen TVs. Views over the Thames can be seen up some steps and there is good seating.

A quiet little pub on the Thames Estuary, recieved a warm welcome, can't comment on the food because just stopped for a quick drink on the waterfront

Pool table desperately needs renewing it must be taking at least £600 per month , could easily lease a new one for half of that

Yet another pub that doesn't serve real ale. Not even a cask pale ale. Large selection of bottled ales but if I wanted a bottle of Doombar I could buy one for a third of the orice in the supermarket. Real ale beeds to be from the barrel. I'm tired of the excuse that they can't sell it. Plenty of other pubs manage and how difficult is it to turn round a 9 gallon cask. Shame as the pub and staff were friendly.

It was absolutely amazing, the pub was full there was a party on with karaoke and it was outstanding. How often can you turn round and say you made 6 new friends in a bar you'd only just walked into. Everyone was nice and welcoming and to top it off the beers good too

Nice pub within a local community. The only issue is prices are the upper end for drinks. But when you're used to weatherspoons prices, it's always hard to compare when you do go local.

Lovely old worldy pub which must go back to the times when gentry and wealthy business men would draw up in a horse and cart from London and stay for the night before setting off next day to Canterbury and beyond . A blessing to be able to sample the vibes of years gone by in such a quaint village on the banks of the Thames . That said , the food and drinks available make the experience all the more pleasant at a very reasonable price with cheerful staff to top it all off

I was waiting to be served for at least 10 or 15 minutes . Fair enough it was busy . But when it came to my turn to be served she was more concerned about glasses .

We visited this pub for dinner and was part of the night crowd that arrived later. I noticed the guy behind the bar was very drunk which was funny at first but then we watched him stay bullying his customers and even barred one bloke embarrassing him in front of everyone. I've since heard that this was the landlord and he has barred over 100 people in the last 5 years! I did wonder because it seems a lot emptier when i drive past. I think The Sir John Franklyn Private W*****s Club is a more accurate description. Shame, my dad and granddad drank in this pub so hopefully the twatty owner can move on and give the community it's pub back!!!!

Just moved to the area and finally got to try the local pubs. Really liked this one, friendly staff and good atmosphere. Lovely beer garden overlooking the River. They had a decent selection of drinks though most on tap were fairly mainstream (Stella, guiness, etc) there were other taps for guest ales though it looks like they aren't available at the moment (potentially due to covid).

Lovely pub. Very original and lovely scenery. Can't fault the pub in itself but the one barmaid at the time was incredibly rude. I asked for a bottle of Terre di Giulio and was told to wait 2 minutes for it to arrive. 6minutes and 37seconds later my champagne arrived. I asked the wench, whom I believe to be called Rackell or maybe Rockelle, for an ice bucket and was told to go and penetrate myself in the back passage! Lovely pub but the one barmaid ruined my Sunday session and made the day not worth skipping church on the Sabbath!

We used to pop in often for a quick drink after work or out for a walk. We've not bothered for some time now as the landlord are such faceaches. People in the pub business should be welcoming, friendly and helpful - this husband and wife team are the opposite. The husband seems to be the worse of the two, preferring to be customer side of the bar or pouring himself drinks than his customers. Very strange business...

Great old pub with a history near London. The drive from london just 30 minutes. All kind of beer wine and ale. Staff is very friendly and cordially. The pub old collection of mugs, glasses and utensils is its feature. It is on bank of river and outside sitting is there to enjoy all the days. Good arrangement to watch sports. Games playing arrangements. Accept cash and cards.

The pub itself is nicely decorated with a patio that looks out to the river. The bar staff are polite and pleasant however the landlord completely lets the pub down! He is extremely rude and disrespectful to customers. He has absolutely no people skills and is so busy trying to be one of the lads in the bar he forgets the importance of ALL of his customers. This should be an environment that everyone can enjoy but unfortunately this man is discriminatory and unkind. It was a real disappointment we certainly won’t be returning.

This pub clearly caters to its regulars. Real ale unfortunately isn't a big deal in Dartford areas. The pub did have London Pride I must admit it certainly was far from the best pint of it I ever had. The view in the beer garden is quite nice. But the furniture could do with being replaced. Maybe I'm picky. Also the pub appears to do food but not a single menu was in sight. The bull on London road is a much inviting pub and too far either. If you fancy splashing the cash go to The Wharf which is a shepherd's naeme pub. Very nice.
