The Command House in Medway

Nice atmosphere at its best in summer when you can sit outside by the river. Good selection of lagers and cask ales. Guinness on tap but only one craft ale (neck oil). Friendly staff and dog friendly too

Great food and atmosphere! Highly recommended :)

Biggest pile of crap I have ever been served as a roast, 4 stuffing balls hard as stones, some spicy chicken as a “roast” chicken! I was hungry so i had what I could.. £15:50 what a joke!

Beautiful architecture, wirh a nice river view. The staff is friendly, they have a nice terrace outside. Unfortunately we have been there in a day where they didn't have many clients, but the place is lovely, I recommend it for drinks and view as I didn't try the food. One disadvantage is that you have to pay the parking or at least we paid, ask if there are options to avoid paying it.

Our first time having Sunday lunch here. Very nice.

Came here for a Sunday roast, honestly best roast we’ve had in a long time! Everything 5* definitely worth the visit. Lilly our waitress was really lovely and attentive. The only thing I would say is they need to improve on their stock levels. Considering it was a Sunday, it was a bit disappointing to know they was out of stock of gammon, lemonade, aperol, pigs in blankets, cider. Otherwise everything else was 5*. Don’t hesitate to come here if you want a good roast 😊

Awful food!!!!!, went there to celabrate a birthday. Place used to be great for food and atmosphere. New management have ruined both. Food was disgusting i had to send mine back for a refund. The other 3 people in our party didn't eat much of there food as it was dry overcooked and bloody awful. Avoid this place to eat.

We used to go here as a family for birthdays, mothers day, Sunday lunch, afternoon teas etc. We always enjoyed it but on our last visit the food was so bad all overcooked and they had run out of a lot of things, we left most of it uneaten, these managers shouldn't run a burger van let alone what used to be a lovely place to go, someone get a grip or else this once beautiful venue will be closed down.

Large group of people, staffing was not adequate. Food was over cooked and took 2 hours to be served. With children's meals being almost the last to be served.

Understaffed, the lady behind the bar was running around helping everyone why the chef was standing around with his hands in his pockets....maybe a bit of team work would have improved everyone's experience. But thanks to the lady who did her best under pressure

Thought I would share my absolutely horrendous visit with the command house. Firstly the poor staff look like they are working in a slave warehouse. Rushed off their feet and tired. Whilst the managers are sat on their phones behind the bar. (Unprofessional). When I ordered my food I was really looking forward to it. Until it arrived (lasagne and chips) the lasagne looked like it had been beaten in an alley way. All mushy and lifeless. Secondly the taste was absolutely vulgure. It was quite clearly a ready meal which had been microwaved for probably six minutes. Absolutely disgusting. The chips tasted like they had been sat in a metal bowl under a heat lamp for ten hours straight. When I raised my complaint with emma the manager, she shrugged her shoulders and told me that it was not her problem and would raise it with the kitchen staff. Emma looked as if she didn’t have a clue how to run this pub. Maybe a manager roll will be indeed soon? Who knows.

Great couple of hours meeting with friends, although place was empty, this was good for us as our food order was quick, but it was also very good, staff friendly and attentive

We walked passed this venue while on a walk round town, thought looked good and we should try for food, booked a table for 1900 that night, the staff were welcoming when came in and sat almost instantly. Minor issues with the menu, but nothing drastic. Food came quick enough and was very good, however, the vibration of the disco downstairs and the loud singer in the bar area made the quite break about difficult, the singer was ok just to loud for the space.

Lovely Roast dinners. Superb roast potatoes. Friendly staff and relaxed family atmosphere.

Lovely lady behind the bar (Welshy) amazing service and food was great. Will be back

I have been coming here for a couple of years and have absolutely loved this place! It overlooks the river and has amazing ambience! I even had my wedding reception in the venue there. Food and drinks always reasonable and tasty! Good selection including sharing platters all reasonably priced It has gone downhill as it changed management recently. Menu boring and so overpriced! I ordered a starter of calamari which increased nearly double in price! I got 7 thin pieces of overcooked rubber! My partner 5 overcooked chicken strips, a small side salad and small portion chips 2 large glasses of Rioja’s and paid £50 Rioja £13 per glass (bottle cost £8-9 in shops. I have been here recently to be told so many items in menu are not available! I keep trying to give this place a chance No wonder this place is getting emptier Please new owners seriously consider why you are failing this wonderful place!!

Best roast we’ve ever had, and staff were 👌🏻

In the last 4 years they kept the high standard and surprisingly reasonable prices as well. Definitely Sunday roast is worth recommending.

I would have given 4 out of 5 but they really need to work on their stock taking, no.chicken burgers, ran out pineapple for my gammon steak and the first place I’ve ever been that has no tomato ketchup!! Apparently they ran out 🤷‍♂️. Apart from that polite staff and clean place, food was very nice.

This huge Victorian pile directly facing the Medway was frequently my lunchtime retreat from a 10-day hearing in the nearby court. Or so I thought before some of the most dramatic personae from my case appeared at an adjoining table. Fortunately there are three small rooms guaranteeing some discretion. Although there is a menu of lunchtime dishes from which the steak baguette was my favourite, I also enjoyed a ribeye ‘special’ with chips and salad (twice), a crunchy plate of fish and chips as well as steak pie and mash. All very hearty and traditional just about affording a respite from a rather lengthy and tortuous trial.

Amazing food, amazing service. The new management couldn’t be any more attentive. Went for Sunday dinner a couple of weeks ago and the waitress Molly couldn’t have been any more helpful.

Proper lush, the Sunday roasts are amazing. Will definitely eat here again

Literally the best Sunday roast I've ever had. Staff were mega friendly too. Definitely coming back!

Had a Christmas meal here in December and most of it was cooked lovely, but the roast potatoes were burnt to a crisp, they were inedible, not one person at our 18 person table could eat them. It was very disappointing as the food has always been amazing previously, and everything else was cooked to perfection. The other annoyance was we were told one price when booked and then we were told a higher price on the night which was embarrassing. All round we will not be back here for Christmas dinner with our large party.

BEFORE MANAGEMENT CHANGED IN 2024. My local community pub, it's really changed so much over the years for the better. They are always trying new things, listening to feedback. Great decor, feels homely, fab staff, dog friendly and the best pub garden in Chatham!

We hired the back room for my friends hen do and it was fantastic. The staff were very attentive. The room was a good size. Have also been there with another group of friends for a drink lovely outside bit and outside bar so didn’t have to go inside for the bar amazing service thank you.

We had a lovely roast dinner here few Sundays ago. Didnt need to book, the food was absolutely delicious one of the best roast lamb dinners I have ever eaten! The restaurant has been refurbished and shares the local history as part of this and makes a lovely chilled setting for dinner and also lunch was nice there too when I went recently with family. The staff are so friendly and nice. Highly recommend this local little gem for food and drinks. Also dog friendly!

Wonderful location. Food was not hot when served.

Absolutely wonderful lunch in a fabulous place overlooking river Medway! So quiet I wish this place got the merit it deserves! Charming place, great food and service! Thank you Ellie and team for the wonderful experience Live the Command House!

Really disappointing experience. Ten of us in our party on a quiet week day lunch, and only about 20 covers in total in the pub, so you don't expect to wait an hour and a half from ordering to getting our food. My steak pie tasted fine, but the mash had a crust where it had been sitting, waiting to be served, and the peas were cold and had dried out again waiting. Likewise the sad bits of parsnip and carrot were cold. It needed the piping hot gravy - when it eventually turned up to heat it up. The meal reminded me of your dinner left on the side waiting to be nuked in a microwave after your home five hours late. The guy serving us seemed nice, but food and the time it took to serve us spectacularly poor.

Food is great and a good selection of beer and wines.

I booked the Command House Function Room for a charity event for Unpaid Carers in the Medway area. As we are a charity the room was provided to us free of charge, a very generous gesture. Staff were friendly and helpful. I had underestimated the number of carers who would be attending the event. The kitchen staff were very obliging and quickly prepared more sandwiches/chips/snacks so no one went hungry. Buffet lunch food was reasonably priced and very nice. Overall a very positive experience!

Very helpful staff behind the bar and in the kitchen.

Horrid. This place used to be my go to for lunches/dinners and Sunday lunches. Unfortunately since it was taken over it has gone down hill and shows no sign of improvement. I came for Sunday lunch when it was first taken over looking forward to a lovely Sunday roast and I was presented with two minute chicken breast!! Tried again today hoping that after a few months and several bad reviews the food had improved! Oh so wrong their classic chicken as mentioned on the menus is actually shredded chicken!! I am not vegetarian I don’t eat beef or lamb and the only other choice of gammon was not available! What a disappointment that this beautiful building steeped in history has fallen under the hands of an incompetent bunch of individuals.

Friendly staff, great food, superb atmosphere and wide selection of drinks.

Had a lovely meal here with friends

Came here with family for our fathers 60th birthday. We was greeted quickly and warmly by staff. The atmosphere and decor was perfect for out family dinner but would also suit a quiet drink with friends or a meal with your partner. The food was to a beautiful standard. No waiting, still hot and we all got exactly what we ordered. We was looked after throughout the evening and nothing was to much to ask. Highly recommend!

Saturday 26th October we arrived at our booked time. First we ordered drinks, they arrived as ordered no issues. I asked for a gluten free menu, they didn't have one. But the lovely waitress checked with the kitchen and I could have steak or gammon. I was told chips were gluten free, but when she checked what else was cooked in the fryer she said I would have to have the mash potatoes. So 3 of us choose gammon. I asked for a plain salad with my gammon. No potato. 2 people had steak and 1 had fish and chips. Well the gammon was infact thick cut bacon , 1 rasher. If it was gammon then it was off cuts. My salad had 3 funny looking brown things on it, no tomato's just lettuce and cucumber and drowned in vinegar. Apparently gluten free. I didn't ask for a salad dressing. Just a plain salad. Salad was also warm from being under the heat lamp. I didn't eat it. One steak was cooked rare as ordered and the other one was well done, but also cooked in butter and garlic on a dirty chargriller. It was black, not medium well. They cooked another one and cooked it covered in peppercorns and again on the dirty chargriller. Only 2 people out of our party of 6 ate there meals. The rest were inedible. They lost so much money as they only charged us for drinks and the 3 starters that were ordered and eaten. It was also freezing cold in the restaurant, certainly no heating on. No toilet roll in ladies loo. Luckily I had a tissue in my pocket. I certainly do not recommend this place, we was told they had a change of management 2 weeks ago and since then the food had gone down hill. The waitress was lovely, she tried her best for us but kitchen let her down. Very overpriced for quality. Go somewhere else if you want a meal you can actually eat. Not disabled friendly

Not been to Command House before. Our family has food allergies. Our server Alicia was lovely and did her best to help. The gammon was more like thick breakfast slices. The steak was black and burnt. Another steak was cooked and was medium rare but covered in pepper making it inedible. The place was cold. There was no manager on duty for a Saturday night. The team manager was not very caring. In the end she agreed to not charge us for all the mains so we only paid for starters and drinks. The restaurant probably lost over £150 and the team manager didn’t really seem to care. Spoilt our once a year family meal.

Went out for a family meal 6 of us. Three had the lamb which was OK with plenty of meat. The 3 roast chicken dinners were very disappointing. Only 2 small dry pieces of chicken no bigger than an half of an egg. Nothing like the description on the menu of fresh cooked roast chicken. A tiny single piece if stem broccoli, the roast potatoes not that roasted. The mash, Yorkshire, carrots OK. But little things like ordered diet coke without ice, came with ice. I'm sure this is done to ensure you get less drink. Dinners then arrived without cutlery for all 6. Had to wait for 2 sets. No one came to ask how our meal was. Really disappointed after it was recommended. Is it because it's new management. It wasn't busy at all as it was 1.45. Wouldn't recommend it at all.

I used to love this pub which I frequently visited. Since it was refurbished by the last management it became a popular pub. The location is stunning the service was good the food lovely and the Sunday lunches really great. Unfortunately it has recently been taken over and much to my dismay it has been ruined. The food is no longer good, the Sunday lunches are abysmal. I ordered chicken and ended up with two minuscule grilled chicken breast???? The recent reviews are all very poor. I hope the new management wakes up and takes notice. The command house is a great two listed building in such great position don’t ruin it.

Disappointing I cannot understand how the new management within a few weeks has managed to ruin this pub. I used to use it frequently the food was always good and the Sunday lunches lovely. The atmosphere was also great which I can’t say it is now.

I went there for a private function after 5 drinks the barman proceeds to tell me he’s not serving me anymore. Anyway no big deal so a friend goes inside and buys me a drink the barman comes flying out in the garden trying to take the drink of me making a massive scene spoiling a good party. He then start the threaten me saying he’s going to smash my head in. Explains why he’s there serving drinks in a pub in Chatham really. So basically if you are looking to book a venue I would look elsewhere because your clearly not aloud to have a good time in this establishment

We had the Cumberland sausage in a giant fluffy yorkshire pudding with cabbage, WHAT A COMPLETELY MISREPRESENTED MEAL, there were three small tasteless sausages and a scoop of cabbage in an elastic texture yorkshire pudding that had gone completely inedible, at £17.00 it was robbery. The menu itself was very limited in choice and very expensive would not be going there again, also didn't have any house wine only expensive brand wine.

Came for Sunday lunch, belly’s empty and ready to scoff. We ordered two gammon Sunday dinners along with two drinks.. When our dinner arrived we were asked “well done?” To my amazement I responded “it’s gammon” The waitress repeated her self “well done?” My other half also bewildered and asked “sorry what?” The waitress said “you asked for one to be well done” Both confused because it’s gammon, how on earth can you have gammon well done? Me thinking the slice of gammon was popped in the microwave for extra crisp my other half took the plate just to end the conversation… Now I wonder where “two gammon dinners and said drinks” translates to can we have one of these gammons well done… Any way, we ate it… Not one part of the gammon was glazed and the stuffing looked like it could have done with a week in Mauritius, it was that pale. Not to mention biting into it, hard on the outside barely anything on the inside, could definitely use it to smash windows if I launched it hard enough. Potato’s were on the tough side how ever with a moments soaking in the gravy they were bearable to eat. Ps would have fancied more veg

Smallest steak and Ale pie ever seen. No Salmon, no Hake risotto. Poor menu, poor service. Would not return

Went for a Sunday roast today very poor one slice of lamb potatoes and parsnips were dry. Had to go and order at the bar and pay for it up front which it not want you want to do when you are out in a group on a Sunday. much preferred it before it was under new management how to kill a pub! Why change something that is not broken. roast dinners used to be fantastic!!!

We were told when arriving that the place was closing that night hardly any food or drink available very poor

Great location, perfect on a warm day to sit by the river.

Came here for Sunday lunch yesterday about 4:30pm and it is normally really good but yesterday it was awful they had no starters and all the side dishes had run out our food came out almost immediately and was not piping hot the roast potatoes were hard and tasted stale, all of us have bad stomachs today so we will not be returning for food again

Beer selection best thing here. Asked for Chunky chips and waited nearly 40min for egg cup of skinny fries.

Booked a table for 17:30, on a Sunday, for a roast. Took about 5 minutes to be greeted by a member of staff who weren’t that busy, was sat down and provided with a Sunday roast menu, ordered our drinks and then proceeded to go to order a roast to which to we were told the roasts were unavailable. Why have the menus out and why not tell us that on arrival, how can somewhere sell out of roasts by 17:30 on a Sunday. Let us order drinks, cocktail was missing the key component of a cherry on top and was half empty, paid for the drinks we ordered to go with our dinner which we didn’t have and then left to enjoy a lovely Toby Carvery

Excellent view of the river medway . Food was tasty hot and fresh.

Vegetables was over cooked ,meat and yorkshire was lovely

We read reviews about the roasts and were excited to visit only to be left deeply disappointed. Everything about the meal was sub standard. The roast potatoes over cooked and shrivelled, the parsnips so rock hard you couldn’t cut them, the mash appeared to have been sat under a hot light along with the beef which was curled at the ends

Sadly our food was very poor quality and presentation. The lasagne was burnt and stuck to the dish The chicken was dry and tough

Fabulous just fabulous,,,,,:. Lovely food friendly staff Lovely outdoor seating Lovely sized menu to choose from freshly cooked to order

We had our wedding reception in this wonderful pub. We hired the rooms downstairs and outdoor area. We ordered buffets for our guests. It was so well organised. Food was great, service first class. They played our play list and adapted lighting for the dancing. The whole event was so reasonably priced. Our guests loved it. So many comments made about the whole experience. The command house never fails to impress us. We visit often having food and drinks. Everything perfect and set in the most beautiful environment overlooking the Medway river. Love this place!!!

I'm not one to usually write a bad review but this place should be avoided! The bar staff were OK but the food service was atrocious. When we were able to find something on the menu that wasn't sold out (at 4.30 in the afternoon) we then waited 30 minutes for food that had either been microwaved to death (chicken like a lump of rubber and veg that had lost any resemblance of the fresh version) or had been left under the heat lamp for way too long! We were a table of 16 out for my father's birthday, we ordered separately so didn't expect our food out all together but after another 30mins and constant assurance from the waiting staff that 'the food Is being plated now' 'it will just be 5 minutes' 5 people from our group ended up asking for a refund as everyone else had eaten their main and dessert. Incredibly rude staff told them it's just coming now 'if you have a refund then you won't be getting anything mate' instead of a much needed apology! avoid at all costs.

This pub has a lovely location by the water, but unfortunately, that's the only positive thing I can say about it. My family and I were seated at a large table, and we all ordered our meals one after the other at the bar. Although 4 of the meals came out within a reasonable time, the food quality was very disappointing. After 45 minutes of waiting, we were still waiting for the last meals to be delivered. Other tables around us ordered their food, and had eaten it in this time! We were told multiple times that it was being plated up and would be ready in a couple of minutes. After an hour passed, we approached the manager to ask for a refund, but no apology was offered. Instead, the manager said our food was ready to be brought out and threatened not to serve it to us if we requested a refund. It's clear that the manager has no interest in rectifying their mistakes. To be honest, based on the quality of the other meals served to our party, I wouldn't have paid for it anyway!

My name is Norman "Marvin" Cabbage and I had a packet of quavers here and it was the best I've ever had. Cheesy and tangy. I rustled the packet in the face of the lady next to me and she told me to jump into the river Medway. Would definitely return

Venue is beautiful, food is delicious, staff are welcoming, charming and efficient. First time at this pub. I plan on coming back. We used the summer offer today and considering the quality of the food lunch was a bargain. Thank you.

Went for my sisters 70th birthday lunch with her family on 13th July and had a great meal in the lovely historic building. Served by Sarah who was very helpful and attentive and had a really good time. Food prices are very reasonable.

Visited for lunch with a friend. Was a lovely chilled atmosphere and friendly service. I had the haddock florentine fishcake and it was great. The accompanying salad was lovely, definitely exceeded expectations. Lunch menu is really good value for money too.

Came here On holiday and 2 weeks ago I picked this little spot out to have a beer when I came here. It's a beautiful day and all I can say is come here, have lunch, have Guinness, half cider and just enjoy the peace, beautiful spots. Don't miss out. The lasagna is one of the nicest of tasted 😋

Such a lovely pub with my dog being treated so well.. very friendly and loads of board games 🙏🏻

Lovely place on the water, relaxed atmosphere.

JACKKKKK THE MAINNNN MAN!!!! GREAT HELP AND MADE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE!!

A nice pub with a great view, some fabulous history and a cracking beer garden if the weather is kind?

Ordered off the app, waited a while which we could appreciate , food came out and still no drinks . Asked the server to ask where our drinks were, still nothing. Went in finally and got told we should not have asked the server ! Do people not communicate , took another 10 mins after this . Asked to speak to manager , nothing . Such a shame but would have enjoyed our drinks to have before and during our meal .

A nice historic pub by the riverside in Chatham. Good selection of drinks inc. Beers, wines and spirits.

Nice pub on the river. Just a shame it's not a prettier part of the river. Outside space is very pleasant and gets busy in the summer. Food is standard pub fare but done nicely enough. Choice of beer was good.

I can sit here all day drinking, chatting and have a bit of food. Great menu. Great Sunday lunch. I come here every time I am in Rochester. Great view by River Medway. Lovely staff. And great outdoor sitting area.

Great place for drinks, nice atmosphere outside. Sunday Roast was horrible, Ordered Lamb Shank, was served with the bone already hanging out like it had been heated up in the microwave, potatoes, carrots were disgusting, veg tasted old.

Had a lovely evening here with friends on a Saturday night. Food was lovely, well cooked good size portions and plenty of variety all at good value. Staff were also very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back x

It was a lovely experience, especially on a sunny Saturday. Food was lovely and exquisite and service was lovely.would recommend.

Though I didn’t enter but this one place looks very cool. It is a great view with the water front.

Lovely venue over looking the river, Service was alright, But the food seemed over cooked, and had been sitting there for a while, only Luke warm food

Nice spot for a family dinner, great views, good food and a selection of board games to keep the younger guests happy. Also my dessert was a winner.

Excellent food and value Will definitely be back

Had a really lovely lunch a week ago here. Waitress was professional and friendly. Enjoyed our food and cocktail, in pleasant atmosphere. Much improved since last visit around ten years ago. Hopefully will be returning with grandchildren soon.

Lovely place; terrible service, waited over a hour just for drinks on the table I booked, one of us got a drink ( water ) the others had to watch! Told staff 3 times still nothing I felt guilty drinking my water with the others looking, the lights kept turning off God knows what was happening with them, food was ropey,

The staff were so lovely and the food was fabulous.

Lovely food, great service, lovely staff. If I had one suggestion it would be to halve the salad and make the fish cake meal with two fishcakes, they were too yummy for only one ..

Lovely visit and had a fantastic meal. The buffet options were plentiful and well presented. All the staff were accommodating and friendly. Especially jack

Superb venue for meetings & functions & views over Medway well worth a visit

Sarah was our host and she was super friendly and we had a great service from her. We were there with 3 kids and a dog and were really well accommodated and sat in a really great spot. The venue is great for kids with board games and the usual colouring word search options to keep them busy. Great for dogs with treats and even a dog menu! Plenty outdoor space for kiddos to run around and work off dinner. They have Cosey fireplaces to sit by if you like and the food is to a good standard. They even are a part of the "kids eat for a pound" during half term vreaks so came as pleasent surprise when our host mentioned that too. Happy to go back and recommend.

Dog menu and dog friendly was very unexpected - good. Food was great for an afternoon snack

Great weekend spent with family. Lovely place. Really good atmosphere. Food delicious, Definitely recommend.

We visited for a 21st birthday, the organiser was informed that the group would be provided with a ‘room upstairs’ for our allotted time. Upon arrival staff were dismissive of this and told a member of the group it was ‘untrue’ as she had personally spoken with the person who made the booking and made absolutely no effort to resolve the situation or manage expectations. The lady who was pointed out by colleges as the manager did not care for customer service and appeared confrontational and burdened by our presence. I can only suggest she place her bed against a wall. Limiting her to only get up on the right side. The group of 13 were placed in the front the pub on display and on a mere 2 benches for the entirety of the evening. The concept of a pre-payed tab seemed futile in this situation and did not work in practice as it was not effectively explained to the group by staff. Can a £65 pre-payed bar tab be justified by an organisation who is not supplying any more than what a walk-in would receive, the bar lady informed the group she would limit the tab to the £65 and let us know when it had been used so anything further food/drinks would be ordered on the app, this did not happen and the manager later informed us we had a £25 unexpected tab. Some opted to order drinks on the app as instructed by bar staff but on a multitude of occasions did not arrive and we had to chase them. Food arrived in a timely manner, unfortunately too timely and five of the group ended the evening with severe food poisoning, placing a dampener on an already questionable evening. Our appointed waitress was really friendly, we didn’t catch her name but she had dark hair and an eyebrow piecing. She single-handedly tried to make good of the situation and even went out of her way to offer a group picture. We are very grateful to her!!

Lovely unexpected pitstop today, very friendly, only had a sandwich but was really good and our puppy was thoroughly spoilt with her own doggy menu

Relaxing, Friendly & Dog - dinning freindly, Very clean place, with lovely view over the river, interesting collections of chairs. The menu looks great - the food was fresh and delicious. Vibe is great, the service was excellent

Came for a bite to eat. Food was amazing, plenty of dogs to pet and drinks were lovely. Friendly helpful staff. Defo recommend a visit

Me and my brother had a Sunday roast dinner here it was amazing and the service was good as well, not pubs do roast dinner now but this place was amazing it's my second time now

Great place, very friendly staff, food is good. Enjoyable, friendly and non-competitive quiz night. In the daytime, lovely views across the Medway. Easy parking but Medway Council owned so need to pay.

Really good food, cosy ambiance, situated next to a river. Highly recommended.

Beer was very good, nice chat with friends. Pub is welcoming and has a great view of the river.

2 hour sitting food arrived 1.5 hours later 2nd choice mussels as they had run out of 1st choice worst mussels I've ever had in dishwater will never go back again

This is a great place, food is decent, prices ain't too bad either, brilliant in the summer by the river

We had a table of 14 people. We were shown to our table promptly. However, we waited quite a while before our drink order was taken. Starters turned up in dribs and drabs, so some had finished their 1st course by the time others were receiving theirs. 1 steak order was returned for being overcooked. 1 pasta dish was cold. We had to go looking for a member of staff to order more drinks. Service and food were disappointing. Not sure we would return or recommend.
