The Coppice in Swale

great home cooked sunday roast and fantastic desserts and small portions available for those with a smaller appetite

Lovely little country pub, staff really friendly, Guinness excellent 👍

Friendly local pub where anyone is welcome and drinks are reasonably priced

Wow wow,,, totally enjoyed my Sunday dinner and a few beers ,,, friendly and welcoming x

Great pub, great food, lovely staff and my little 4 legged friend was welcome too.

Gorgeous little pub, really good prices, good atmosphere and staff, fantastic from me

Best food, always fresh and hot.

Fantastic place loved the food and the staff

Very welcoming landlord and landlady, homely pub, highly recommended.

This place is a proper old fashioned pub. The landlady Shelly is very welcoming, we had our dogs and they have a hatch to the garden and she served us through their without issue, we had food a cheese and ham ploughman's and a lamb shank both were very tasty, prices were very good and we both felt very welcome. A real little gem of a place with some nice views as well.

Lovely pub with great friendly service. The portions were large . However , the soda water was flat. Curry was abit flavoursome . It needed spices and pepper. Seating inside and outside. Karaoke there too. Comfortable seating . Families use the restaurant alot. Fairly cheap meals. Value for money.

Very good food nice I will go there again

Food was nice atmosphere was nice

Great little pub, good food with good customer service.

A nice old English pub, with friendly helpful staff and great food

No for people who are not from the community. Don't even try it you'll be rejected. For locals only trust me. I have never felt so unwelcome in any restaurant ever before.

It was a Thursday afternoon but it was pleasant and very friendly man behind the bar although I didn't eat there I was impressed with the menu and what some of the customers who had eaten there had to say about the food ,its nice to visit a pub that has stayed a pub

Lovely food, very welcoming staff. Nothing too much trouble. Definitely recommend.

Me and my family were looking for a place to have Sunday roast and Google suggested me this place. We went and, as soon as we entered, we asked if we could have a table for 3. The owner looked at us and asked us if we had a booking. We didn't have a booking and the place was empty: there were no customers apart from a group of friends of the owner. The owner then said to us that they were fully booked and couldn't accommodate us. So we just left and looked for another place instead. They pride themselves of having a friendly atmosphere but I can assure you that this place is not the case!!! They clearly didn't want to serve us as we were just visiting the Isle of Sheppey and are not from the area. WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED!

Had a wonderful afternoon, relaxing. The food was amazing and the owners were very friendly. Back again tomorrow

Always nice company in their very friendly people and shelly and Roy and family always make you feel welcome xx

Had my first Sunday Roast here today with my friends and loved it ... the food was lush COVID rules being the best I’ve seen on the Island for places to eat and drink Well done

Lovely friendly pub ,locals welcoming and happy to chat

Lovely hideaway restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and good food

This is a traditional pub with great food. Freshly cooked and well presented. Real ale on the hand pump and a good selection of other drinks. Fantastic service and reasonably priced. Sunday lunch is a must. Remember to pre-book. We have visited many times and that will continue in 2020.

Small quaint pub, very friendly staff with a Restaurant. We met a friend there and had a pleasant afternoon reminiscing about friends and events.

The pubs decor is nice very old worldy and drinks aren't bad either the pub having a fair selection to please most people's tastes, but that's where it ends really for positives the bar staff seemed distracted chatting with the locals who at times got a bit loud and use some unfavourable language with children present and the Sunday lunch was nothing like what I had expected from reading other reviews before going, I did find out later from a conversation with one of the older locals that it used to be different (better in there word) before new management took over and so I presume the previous good rating where from a longer time ago, so overall if you want a drink and your nearby give it a shot but wouldn't recommend personally the Sunday lunch

Nice friendly people make you feel welcome as soon as you walk though the door and that's just people that drink in the pub Shelley and Roy and all other bar staff are excellent and food that they do in the pub is excellent would recommend the pub to anybody that was coming down way

Hi been using the coppice for over two years now since having a caravan there but today was awful we had friends staying with us and booked a table two weeks ago for lunch today ,like we always do , we turned up at three as planned but was rushed through our lunch upon the plates being taken away we were asked to go into the pub away from our table this was 3.45 we hadn’t even ordered pudding ! on asking Shelley why ? she replied she needed the table for the next sitting how embarrassing in front of our friends wed raved about this pub and food and here we were not even an hour in and asked to move I really hope it was a one off Shelley and her staff are normally so nice and friendly serving good food

Great food and fab atmosphere nice friendly family pub

Very nice place, very welcoming and friendly. Nice to see a proper old fashioned pub again.

DELICIOUS MEAL GOOD SERVICE LOVELY PEOPLE.

Great food and friendly staff. Home cooked roasts are lovely the restaurant is cosy and you get a warm feeling from it. The pub it's self is great old style wooden beems and it's as cosy as your own living room. Reasonable priced throughout as well. Would definitely recommend the Coppice but I would recommend you book in advance as they do get busy.

Excellent pub lunch be sure to book first if visiting in summer months as it's very popular it can be a difficult to find

A group of us came here for dinner on Thursday evening. We phoned in advance and our table was ready for us on arrival. Good menu choices to suit all tastes and very reasonable ( majority £7/£8 for mains), good portion sizes, and also good for the kids too who all cleared their plates. Great selection of puddings too, which came in two sizes which ment the kids could have the same as the grown ups, but a bit smaller portion, perfect. Overall great service, great food, reasonably priced and family friendly. I would definitely return if in the area again, and recommend if you need a change of scene and are nearby. Keep up the fantastic work, your doing great.

Lovely traditional Pub. Very friendly warm vibe. Food is always lovely and very reasonable a firm favourite of Mine.

A nice little country pub, food very good, parking, big garden with seats and tables ...worth a visit

Great little pub, great food and very friendly 👍

Second visit in a month. Both times the food was excellent. Fresh, good quality, very reasonable prices. Also stayed both times for the entertainment. My husband, son And I were made to feel welcome both times. Lovely, small friendly club. Would recommendations.

What a gem. We booked on the day and we were very lucky to get a table. Lovely setting you have a pub garden and a very pretty pub inside lots going in.Well when the food came it was beautifully presented fresh vegetables , lovely roast potatoes and the gravy mmmm. I wish I had room for desert , as there was a very good selection to choose from. But next I will make sure. If you go please make sure you book it’s well worth it.

Went to the coppice four times in the last two weeks as staying near there food great staff very friendly and helpful lovely little pub was talking to locals in there all nice say hello when you walk in would consider going out for the day just to go for dinner. No one could say they did not have a full belly when they left as you get very good helpings but if a large meal is to big ask them for a small meal I had that for Sunday lunch and there was plenty on my plate would recommend it to anyone

Our family of 5 booked for Sunday roast over the bank holiday weekend, the restaurant was busy and we had a little wait before our food, the staff were so apologetic and helpful. It wasn’t long before we received our dinners, with such friendly faces it was definitely worth the wait.The roast was delicious and huge, as were the desserts! Our work have a holiday home near by and we will certainly be recommending The Coppice to everyone.

Great Family Pub, Friendly atmosphere, superb home-cooked food.

Great Sunday lunch and proper beer

Restaurant au bord de l eau, endroit superbe et on y mange tres bien. Tout au bout d un tout petit chemin..

Nice pub with a good atmospher. Food is good and well priced. Staff are very friendly. Anly down side are locationand parking.

Just to say our winter hours are Monday - Friday 1500 till close Saturday - Sunday 1300 till close Current TripAdvisor information wrong

We came across this hidden away pub while out cycling and decided to stop for a drink. The pub is what a typical country pub should be cosy and with a good atmosphere and a few friendly locals. We left the pub agreeing to return next time for a meal in the adjacent dining room. We did visit again on a Sunday, the roast was one of the best I've had for a while and plenty of it. The staff were friendly and efficient. Great deserts were on offer as well as cheese and biscuits but unfortunately we were stuffed. We have now agreed to return to The Coppice next time to save room for the deserts, and if anything like the main meals they will be well worth the bike ride.

My auntie workso there her name is Jackie lovely place and staff

If you are looking for something different to the children orientated holiday park club house, and would prefer a pub with a friendly atmosphere, then make a bee line to the Coppice. The Coppice serves great food. An amazing Sunday roast, and the red wine lamb shank are a must try.

We have just moved to the other side of Eastchurch and spotted this pub tucked away when visiting riding stables. Had family over this weekend and wanted somewhere to go for Sunday lunch. There were 8 of us and all left feeling happy and full. The food was fantastic...all freshly cooked and tasty. It was a good old fashioned country pub and I am so glad I spotted it. So glad...I am booking for Friday night. Staff happy and friendly in both restaurant and bar. I am going to be a regular !

Sunday roast was fantastic as was the very friendly and helpful staff.

This is a beautiful little country pub, tucked away in what looks like the middle of a caravan park, and you would not know it is there unless you looked for it. We found it on Google maps and took a chance, it was well worth the visit, and turned out less than 2 miles from the caravan park we were staying at (Ashcroft parkdean resorts).

Very clicky if you're face doesn't fit then you can feel very uncomfortable

We Stayed at the Shurland Dale caravan park, and thank god for the coppice pub as the parks clubhouse was awful. It Was only a 5 Minute walk, had a good basic menu, food was lovely (and very big!) reasonably priced drinks and friendly staff. It shows sky sports too! The only pub in Eastwood we returned to.

Very very slow taken over 1 hour to get food when served chips was full of fat un eatable sweet and sour chicken very dry and been put in microwave, fish was burnt there excuse was everyone turn up together, would not recomend a visit

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here last week followed by jam sponge and custard, great food and friendly, welcoming staff!

Heerlijk gegeten voor een goede prijs. Personeel en andere [vaste] bezoekers zijn erg vriendelijk.

Always great for a drink and something to eat. Great atmosphere great people.

Lovely little pub very friendly everyone talks to you even if your first time in the pub

Lovely friendly saff .Good food (nice and hot )puls very good value for money .Would recommend you visit

Lovely little pub, great atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, beer garden & sky sports.

A very cosy pub that serves very good food at a reasonable price. Bar lady was very friendly and polite. Food very tasty. Would definately return if in the area.

Awesome pub, fantastic staff and lovely atmosphere! Trudy no 13

Had a lovely meal. 3 had the burger stack and I had the lamb shank. Excellent food and you could eat in the back room for a quieter place or in the bar like us watching the footy

I booked & to The Coppice for a Sunday Lunch I am most impressed with the home cooked Sunday Lunch...

Fuimos por primera vez para comer el domingo. Este castillo Quint pequeño pub, con un jardín. Gente amable. La comida estaba caliente, sabroso y abundante. No hacen ningún entrantes y postres principal sólo en los domingos. El pub está abierto sólo para la comida sólo...

Nice pub, great atmosphere.Was a bit unsure where the taxi was taking us, wasn't expecting it to be in the middle of a site.Food was okay, was good value for money.Staff didn't seem very happy.

Just happened to come across this lovely traditional pub. Open roaring fire and amazing food, big hearty portions and delicious puddings!! Lovely atmosphere and even greater landlord and landlady.

Visited with a friend for Sunday lunch and had probably the best roast other than a home cooked one ever and at such a reasonable cost. Can't wait to try another meal from the weekday menu!

Lovely Local Pub, Staff & locals very welcoming, warm and friendly atmosphere. The Roast was amazing, lovely meat with crackling and fresh vegetables. Puddings very generous portions and delicious much enjoyed by all and very good value for money. Well worth a visit

This is our second time back on the island and also visiting The Coppice pub.Last time we visited I came in alone for a quiet night cap and ended up staying for a few, talking to the friendly locals. Immediately as you walk through the door of this classic cosy pub, you can tell the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The bar staff are lovely, full of brilliant banter and smiles. Shelly (one of the owners or manager I think) runs a very tight ship and it shows, she always welcomes you in with a lovely "Hiya, how're you". Drinks are incredibly reasonable, as is the food! One of the locals recommend we came in for Sunday lunch and spoke about it so highly we booked in immediately. I have to say it was gorgeous. Piping hot and full of flavour. Lovely fresh vegetables, perfectly cooked, as were the roast pots and Yorkshire pud. We had 2 large roast dinners, a desert and drink and came to just over £20. All in all. This is a great little pub and well worth finding!! We'll be back again for sure. Thank you :) xx

Took brother here for drink. Lovely old world pub. Very friendly staff. Well worth a visit. Nice area and have eaten here in past. Do very good Sunday lunch very reasonable

Under new management, what a change, friendly management and staff extensive menu, friendly atmosphere, cosy interior.Good quality freshly cooked food with specials board, good beers, a little gem

Honestly I've never been to a pub like this one. For one the aesthetics are incredible. It's the epitome of an English pub i fell in love instantly. The staff are so kind, we felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The place is VERY well kept. I cannot fault this pub. Highly recommended to ANYONE.

Couldn't try the food as they stopped serving at 8.30pm, but went back the next day and they loved our beagles, brought water out and stroked them happily (until the overexcited idiot beagle started barking nonstop...She's a fool). Pretty garden and seemed fairly friendly.

We went to the Coppice, what a little gem of a place, so lovely, the staff are lovely too the food is great would recommend it to everyone who visits Eastchurch to look it up...The new owners are Shelly and Roy, they instantly make you feel welcome as do all the staff...the best desserts I have had in ages they are huge. Can't wait to visit again.

Fantastic little country pub, nice food and cosy atmosphere. Remember to book for Sunday roast as they sell fast

Great atmosphere, great beer and great food.

Been here a few times and the owners always friendly and they do lovely sunday roast dinners ,nice little hidden gem i would say.

Went to this pub on a Saturday evening and the barstaff Dawn and Julie were very welcoming. They were both very friendly and professional in there jobs and also we felt like we got the personal touch from them,which makes a difference as most pubs now have dull and robotic staff. We went back on the sunday to have the roast dinner which we booked on the saturday evening.The food was extremely good and very tasty and you could tell that it was local produce,I haven't enjoyed a roast dinner like that for ages so well done to Julie the chef.Also the desserts were very good as well.If you want a fantastic meal and an enjoyable time go here the prices are good so is the atmosphere and all the staff are fantastic , you wont be dissapointed

We travel around Kent seeking the best Sunday roasts, and the meals produced for us on our visit was one of the best we have had. The service was fast and very friendly, and served hot.

A true English pub, serving very good food at very reasonable prices. None of this pre-prepared stuff you get in the chain pubs that we have everywhere now, but proper hones well presented food.

I was born and bred on Sheppey and now live in London, Good food in a pub or restaurant is hard to come by on the Island. After many, many attempts at finding somewhere to eat we gave up, until my sister took us to the Coppice. What a find! Fab freshly cooked food, lovely atmosphere and nice people. We now go every time we are on Sheppey and they now know our names! Highly recommended, but do book as they only have limited times for dinner and you should'nt miss out

we popped in after reading the tripavisor reviews and we were glad we did its a freindly quiet little pub.The place was so clean and was very homely its the perfect place on a cold winters night for a pint, we recommend it highly and will go back soon.The food menu looked great its a shame we got there to late.

This is our local public house, its so friendly, its like being in your own front room, the staff are fantastic , food good value for money, a must visit in the winter when there is a log fire going friendly locals. Fantastic

We were at the caravan for the weekend in Eastchuch, so we had to go down to The Coppice. Have been there a few times now and we love it. The Pub is so friendly. If you go there on a Friday night, it,s Quiz Night. Saturday and Sunday can be busy, but you should get a seat. There is a good selection of food and if you fancy a Sunday Roast, try to book in advance. When it,s sunny, there is seating outside, a nice range of beers and a Car Park if you are not drinking. Is this the Best Pub on Sheppey ?

The Coppice is a small country style with a large beer garden, they sell a good range of beers and good quality home cooked food is available Thursday and Friday evenings, Saturday day and Sunday lunch, The pub is surrounded by several holiday sites so the clientele are predominately people on holiday or down for the weekend so there is always a good atmosphere. I highly recommend this pub.

This is the second time we have been to this pub its small and so friendly the food is lovely and the prices are good a pub you must visit on your stay in dymchurch

We went to the Coppice based on the other TA reviews mentioning the good food and real ales. There was no food the day we went and the real ales turned out to be in bottles bought from the local supermarket!The barman had his hands full with a gang of 10 or so people who obviously went in there a lot, but spent the whole time arguing and bickering with each other at a very high volume. The decor was like something out of the 70's and we didn't stay long. We wouldn't return.

Started using this pub few years ago during our summer stays at our caravan, its just the best little pub ever. Locals are friendly, the couple who run it are so considerate and friendly they have got it just right and staff are faultless, together with the charm of this period pub and the fantastic food its got everything. Well worth a try we're down there for our 2pints of Fosters and pint of Guinness and good grub as much as we can lol

we walked in to find the bar area a bit crowded but no problems the friendly locals soon made room for me, more logs were going on the fire, and soon we were enjoying a nice few drinks in a very friendly pub, food was being served and it looked very good,we will try it on our return.

It's a great pub, nice food, nice beer, run by a lovely couple, been there a lot of times, great over the summer with a nice big beer garden, very good for firework night, had a good time over the Christmas, it's great value

A lovely Family Pub with a good sized garden Entertainment is normal pub type Pub food is a good price and very good value for money. The landlord and lady are friendly and welcoming.regulars there are friendly and enjoy a laugh. In the summer they have family days and BBq's with entertainment for the children on the whole a very nice place to go

Great beer and food very friendly in a nice quite place would not know it was there if you didn't know about it.

This is a lovely unpretentious dining pub, kind of like a 'local'. It is extremely good value for money, and the food really is excellent. The owners are very nice and friendly. You need to book for Sunday lunch as it's always busy. It's open all year, which is surprising, as it's in the middle of the caravan sites in Fourth Avenue. We've been a few times, always have the Sunday roast, and it's always lovely. How do they do it for the price?

We had a party here for my 70th birthday. the food was exceptional, the service charming and the atmosphere delightful. It was a surprise to me and after not wanting to go and throwing a strop, I'm so glad i went and would go back again anytime. All my family members thoroughly enjoyed the visit and would definitely go again too.

Just to update last persons review. Seats have now been recovered and look very smart. Great in winter. Lovely in summer. Sunday lunch very good. Atmosphere the best. Very friendly to all.

Lovely little pub, friendly, good Food and at a fair price, eat in the bar or in the restaurant, Log fire in winter, one "Minor" thing, the bar seating (bench type could do with re spring and re covering. Do not let this discourage you.

a great little pub tucked away but well worth finding friendly atmosphere and great Sunday lunch our first visit but not our last
