Lively pub with karaoke. Was fun sinning along a bit too loud for MY liking but still good atmosphere. If you want a good night this could be the place for you...

It is over 50 years since I used the Somerset Arms as a local and I was interested to see how well it has survived. Pleasingly, as well as having pretty much the same layout, it still has the ambience of a proper, old style pub and it was really nice to come back, albeit only for a flying visit.

A nice friendly pub, drinks are reasonable, no food which is fine, a proper boozer. BUT ! PLEASE replace the ripped seats, edges are razor sharp & look awful.

I have Never had so many problems In any pub EVER and you cannot call this pub a restaurant in your widest dreams. Most of the staff from every shift were present off duty and totally oblivious to any problems. Even the manager was present, drinking again as usual, I had problems on problems and staff did not see a thing, desite sad looser door staff inside and NOT on the door. This is so sad as this was a Vaventies event! Wow bring you wife and witness this... This is a pub to avoid at all costs.

Drinks reasonably priced and look out for the cocktails in a giant glass/ bowl! Reminded me of how good things used to be about 10 years ago! Would definitely recommend and will be coming again 👍

Friendly staff you feel you’ve known like friends, lovely landlady recognised from other past venues, always welcoming and a various array of all types of customers .

Stopped off for a drink while in Gravesend on Sunday was made to feel very welcome so we went back yesterday evening. The bar staff were friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. The drinks are very inexpensive and served well. We think that we will make it our pub of choice when we are in the town in future.

Used to be our local, but the new staff are awful. There's a free juke box but like the pool table not be level it's pointless. The new staff just pick and choose what they want to listen to and skip customer choices. Explains why its more dead than usual on a bank holiday...rubbish staff!

I've given the Somerset 3 stars based upon the brilliant laughs I've had in there in years gone by... The place was heaving and full of Gravesenders having a brilliant time... Now it's a shadow, no music, DJs etc... Such a shame, the fella is either running it to the ground or it needs a good shake up

Very friendly establishment! Try it for the pleasant staff, range of drinks and ample seating areas. LOVE it for the internal decor - sporting, musical and artistic pictures and posters - and it is cleaned professionally daily, so not an ounce of dust anywhere. Gets a great crowd in on the weekend too. Something for everyone I suppose.

It's a long time since I have been in the Somerset Arms. It boasts it is real ale house, but there was nothing to eat (crisps?) and the beer was only OK. It's a great pity because it has a prominent position near the station, and the surrounding area is scheduled to be redeveloped in the near future.

My husband and I have just been to the monthly curry night at the Somerset Arms and it was spectacular. Samosa starter, choice of four curries and a bottle of wine. £20 for two people. Great value, lovely food and plenty of atmosphere. We will be going again.

For locals this is a legend of a pub steeped in history it's been around almost as long as Gravesend. Cleverly balancing a traditional ale and food pub during the day and a busy bustling bar with DJs at night open till 3am Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am really pleased to say if you feel like splashing some cash they offer some of the more high class spirits along side the usual something not seen so much at other pubs in this area. TOP TIP: Watch out for the new £2 Tuesdays. just £2 for a wide range of drinks and food. They seem to have become a regular weekly event and it becomes shockingly busy Tuesday afternoons. Don't these people have jobs :-)

Food was good, service was really bad, we had popadoms before we finished them our mains arrived, they didn’t come back to see if we wanted another drink or to see if everything was ok. We stopped for a breather and then they appeared with takeaway pots and a bag. We had only been in there 55 minutes. We then paid cash and part card, were he then stood at the table and counted the money, which me and my sister thought rude. Apart from that can’t complain about the food
