The Granville in Medway

Nice little pub.senseable people.

We held our wedding reception at the Granville and had a truly wonderful experience. The upstairs function room was a delight, with an outside garden space to expand into when needed. Every member of staff involved, especially Beth, was so friendly, accommodating and worked hard to make our day special. The vegan buffet put on by the Granville was truly exceptional, both aesthetically and taste-wise. We would not hesitate to recommend the Granville to anyone as a warm and welcoming venue. Thank you x

Popped in last Saturday evening about 6.30pm. We wallked in via back door, there were approx 15 people seated or standing around the bar area. In front of us were a group of 4 {2 couples} waiting to be served-no idea how long they had been there waiting - but no one was behind the bar. After about 5-10 mins this group left the premises still no one behind the bar. My wife then went to use the loo and when she came back - you guessed it-still no one behind the bar so we left without being served.If this is how customers are treated hopefully people will walk past and use other local pubs who are willing to staff accordingly!!!!

Nice pub, with outdoor seating area.

My last stop during Rochester Sweeps. Wish I'd started here and stayed all day. There was a small beer festival on and lots of visiting artists. Only had a plate of chips, but they hit the spot. And to cap it all, the beers were £4 a pint. The cheapest by far that day!!

Went here for a lovely Sunday roast with my folks during Feb 2024 - dining room upstairs is small but really nice. Great food! As we left we saw a poster for a George Michael tribute in a month's time - my mum's a huge GM fan and entry was free so we thought we'd try it out. We invited a group of local family and friends too. When we first arrived the pub was rammed and it was standing room only - lots of drinkers there for the first stop of the night, who soon left (and clearly weren't there for the live music!). This enabled some of the older folk in our group to get a seat. Atmosphere was amazing, dance floor packed and very friendly staff added to a great evening. Drinks were good value and we had a laugh, the whole pub was singing along and dancing by the end of the night. Staff seem happy in their jobs and the programme of events looks really good. Dog friendly too! Would love to go back and check out the garden events in Summer, have a feeling this might turn into my new local : )

Lovely pub! Decent pub food and friendly service.

Stylish friendly pub, lots of local hipsters as well as a few boomers

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, good service. Never eaten here but I will

Fantastic food , hospitality and venue!! Organised our works christmas meal here. We had a fab evening in the private dining area and then came downstairs to the bar afterwards. Friendly and excellent location. Thank you Beth and all the Team 😊

Attentive service. Roast dinner was large and very tasty.

Great service and good atmosphere friendly family pub didn't have food so can't comment on food but will definitely visit again 😀

Nice chilled place, friendly service considering we've never been. All the locals said hi.

Great place for a drink and have been to several parties here and the staff are great

Haven't eaten here, I will one day tho, but the staff are friendly and have an out the back seating area as well, plus a nice cosy open fire in the winter

I hired the function room for a surprise party, 10/10 service even down to the staff playing along to the surprise. Couldn’t recommended enough, all guests commented on how great of a venue it is. Shout out to the staff working that night they done an amazing job & Beth for making it all happen!

Great pub near the Vines in Rochester. Dog friendly, we visited with 3! Beth called to confirm my booking and even offered us a table in the garden as the weather was nice today. Food was delicious, the pizzas were perfect! Beth was on the bar, and we got there as it was getting busy but she was an absolute superstar! Beth deserves an award for how cool and calm she was on her own when everyone came to the bar! Legend. Thank you for a lovely afternoon, everyone had a great time- even the dogs!

Lovely little pub this. Nice spacious outside bit and a good selection of pints

The Granville Arms is a nice local pub, good drinks on offer

Beth and the team were very welcoming to my group, just fabulous.

We always visit this pub after going to the Shozna for dinner. It’s a lovely pub much better than all the ones in Rochester high road. It’s clean and friendly and feels like a pub should feel.

My first visit to this beautiful pub.... its tucked away from the high street... very friendly crowd and owners... a great selection at the bar... a must visit!!! I will be back again soon to sample the food menu.. highly recommended

Pretty much as expected. Food takes a while on a busy day. Tastes nice enough for pub grub but nothing special.

Good beer friendly staff and atmosphere

Our lovely local pub. Wonderful food and the best kept beer around.

Popular pub, reasonable beer prices

Had lunch last Sunday. Quiet but food was great. Dining room lovely. A very pleasant experience

Sunday lunch is the best in Rochester! The staff are lovely and the restaurant is very cool and relaxing. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely love the Granville, it is a lovely friendly, cosy pub with a great atmosphere. Dog friendly which is a benefit for us and we love to pop in. We booked for Mothers day dinner and the pork belly was by far the nicest pork I've ever had, can't wait to book up another Sunday lunch!

We hired the space upstairs to celebrate my 30th birthday. Jade, Helen and Tony were so helpful and made everything really easy. We chose the grazing board for the catering and we're really impressed with the quality, variety and freshness of the food. It was a really good option for vegetarians and carnivores alike. We really liked the decor of the room and the flexibility of the venue to decorate the space to our liking with balloons and banners etc. We made use of the Bluetooth speakers to play music via our phones. Helen looked after us in the evening and was so caring and welcoming. She even helped us to take a group photo which was really appreciated, and kept popping up to make sure we had enough drinks. Jade was so responsive and helpful over email and professionally dealt with any questions we had. Overall we 100 percent recommend this venue for your celebrations! Thanks so much for making it so easy and enjoyable. We'll be back for sure! X

Lovely staff, helped me to a mote accessible table due to disability. Lovely food. I had the lamb shank, large portions to me!

Great pub, friendly atmosphere.

Friendly and professional staff, good range of drinks.

Nice little local. Guinness was good. Bar staff friendly. Price was good for Rochester. We went there as a group of 6 before going onto the nearby Shozna Indian restaurant.

Very good value and quality Sunday Roast in a well appointed first floor dining room. The layout allows semi-private areas for groups of 10-12. We were seven and appreciated being given our own area. The Baileys cheesecake is lush!

Great little pub, lovely beer garden, friendly staff and brilliant atmosphere.

Nice pub with nice atmosphere and great staff

Really nice pub. Reminds me of my old local that was shut down, a good old traditional pub, locals singing along to the Duke box and able to have a conversation unlike alot of other pubs wanna be nightclubs with fights and drama. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent food and very pleasant staff.

Really nice local pub, decent prices & a great beer garden. Only reason it's 4 rather than 5 is because it was a slower day so didn't see the entertainment

Beautiful pub and very friendly staff

My first visit back in yonks since refurbishment etc. Had heard good things from friends. No Sunday roast, BBQ day today. I'm still a bit stunned at what I got for what I paid: £7.60 glass of wine, £9.95 for a small 'hoi sin burger with Asian slaw', literally all it was, as advertised but I guess we all expected more for the price- no sauce, no salad and the filling was an over deep fried reconstituted cutlet of breaded chicken. Then a little cardboard dish of equally excessively deep fried fries... £4.95! Below average food for above average price.

Superb food and a welcoming atmosphere

Fast friendly service.Good choice of food and drinks.

Beer was slightly average but charming building and staff.

Nice little pub with recently refurbished garden with plenty of tables with no smoking areas.

Traditional pub. Dog friendly in the bar and garden. Highly recommended.

The refurbishment had been a success. Focusing on food which I've not sampled.

Superb pub. Friendly staff , great garden & ales

Nice family friendly pub with nice beer garden.

A proper pub. Its usually full of friendly semi boisterous locals and great staff. I have been here umpteen times on my visits to the Medway towns and I can't rate it highly enough. Beer garden out the back and reasonable pricing

A lovely pub with great hosts and some nice music playing in the background. I was on route to a church for a christening and found this place unexpectedly but if I lived nearby I'd definitely be returning

The Granville has really changed has been refurbished. The manageress seems quite nice, different clientele, not quite sure that I like the atmosphere as much not as friendly as I knew it buy will try it again on a different day

Excellent food and service, such a nice space can't wait for the summer to use the beer garden.

Very nice place. Meat a bit tuff and could not cut the carrot. Asked for vanilla ice cream and was served a very strong flavoured caramel ice cream. I think need a bit more attention to detail required as booked for 5 and table set for 4. Thankfully just enough room to put another setting on the table.

Really nice pub, we've walked past several times and finally went in. Good beer and wine, really nice inside and good atmosphere. Nice pub in Rochester we'll definitely be back

A very friendly pub, with helpful staff, a good selection of Green King ales at competative prices.

Friendly staff. Recently refurbished. Nice ambiance

Best Valentines Dinner to date, We went for the 3 course sharing platter, a steal at £37.50 a head The food was exceptional good. The atmosphere was perfect, romantic and cosy. Service was attentive and friendly. Sam and Leanne our hosts were exceptional The cocktails were great. Can’t wait to go back for the Sunday lunch This is what Rochester has been waiting for

Lovely little off the beaten track pub, friendly welcome and good atmosphere. Definitely the sort of place you could make your local

Had a really fun evening, great drinks, and dogs allowed <3

New staff behind the bar very polite service better than ever place is cleaner than ever I've seen it give it a try you won't be disappointed

Ages to get a pint nobody wearing masks. It's public public house wear when not sitting drinking

As a pub connoisseur, I found this pub nice but pretty average. Bartender was friendly and welcoming which is always great. Beer selection is very average, no cask, nothing you couldn’t get at Sainsbury’s in a can. White wine was fine. Prices were average for the Rochester. Looks like the pub was recently refurbished and it was pleasant and comfortable, but lights were very bright, and music was all over the place so no ambiance. Solid and fine, but no need to go out of your way.

Brilliant traditional pub with a calm chilled atmosphere even if I always seem to leave there with a guaranteed hangover would definitely recommend

Great place lovely place nice place to drink very cosy.

Such a warm welcome from the lady (blonde hair ) behind the bar. The pub gives you a bit of a village feel, busy with locals all happy and laughing. It was Christmas Dickens weekend so the bar was particularly busy and for a first visit we still managed to get a seat. Decor is lovely, shame the restaurant was closed we could have done with the extra seats to spread people about a bit. We will return, it had what we like about a pub, great service and good toilets! Thanks team Granville and merry Christmas!

Great local cosy friendly pub recently refurbished and has a new fab garden loads of different wines and great beer selection open fire 🔥 👌

Hands down the prettiest barmaid I’ve ever seen. 10/10

The refurbished garden has added such life and enthusiasm to this amazing pub. I've had a few entertaining afternoons with my friends, and the staff have always been so friendly, and to be honest, they always make me smile. I'll be back soon for me drinks, laughs and smiles

Last pint before lockdown, will be first after

Nice traditional boozer. Friendly staff and clientele.

I love the granville Erin and Andy are so nice, so welcoming

Average wines, average beers, stunning bar staff

Cute little pub with nice staff

Nice pint and friendly atmosphere.

Great local pub traditional and friendly.

Quiz night was fun with a free buffet.

Went to watch a band play. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good beer. Enough said.

Good beer. Friendly. Decent pub. Cheers

Nice little boozer! Friendly staff decent locals

Love this place! It has the feel of a second home.

It's a very friendly pub with a good atmosphere.

Great local pub, always friendly and have a great selection of ales

Good friendly pub great atmosphere. Great barmaid erin and manager andy too.

Good friendly local pub. Staff are great.

Traditional proper pub, nice beer, good landlord. They run a variety of nights (quizz, live music, port and cheese!!!) Juke box and a few games machines... actual board games and books as well. A selection of snacks, but no hot food. Toilets are down a flight of steps. Accept card or cash.

Probably one of the few back street drinking pubs left in Medway where the atmosphere is friendly and the service is great Only down side for us poor commuters stopping of for a drink is no food hence why only 4 stars

Friendly, cosy,lovely...might do with a larger selection.of beers. I love this place...

Cracking pub. Great live music.
