The Long Hop in Swale

Open mic night is a great monthly occasion allowing local musicians of all ages to showcase their talents. Great atmosphere

Small, cosy place. Real Ales 🍻nice location

as i pulled in to their car park after having a crash on london road and being clearly shaken up and crying, i was met by a rude lady shouting at me saying i need to move my car from the car park. absolutely shocking, you'd think i'd be asked if i was okay but was met with the rudest lady which made me feel even worse.

This pub has so much potential, but so so quiet. Considering the amount of residents in the area I can't understand why every time I've visited I've been one of a few patrons. I encourage people to go though as it's a great little pub.

Very friendly atmosphere nice choice of ales and lagers a must visit pub

Friendly pub. Great homemade curry night once a week.

Nice food, pleasant decor, friendly helpful staff.

Took a 20 minute walk as Tuesday curry night was recommended. Arrived to find pub in darkness and notices saying open again on 19th. Nothing online advising of closure.

Brilliant. Mammals was amazing anf landlady the best

Feels like stepping back in time, back when pubs were social centres. Couldn't fault it. Landlady was exceptionally friendly and polite, especially considering we visited with my Czech brother in law and nephew.

Lovely pub with a real fire. The curry night on Tuesday night is absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended!

Great little pub with amazing curry nights....but book these in advance as popular!

Very good place for meeting people and very nice meals.

Just needs some TLC bigtime....nice staff, was only sausage or chicken nuggets and chios available even though it was curry night

Good old-fashioned pub with friendly locals and a great landlord and staff.

great food, nice beer, the guys that run it are great, friendly, & nothing is too much trouble, warm & cozy atmosphere clean, fantastic pub garden, free juke box on Sundays, child friendly

I love going to watch the Friday night band. The beer is good and the atmosphere on music night is awesome. The pub is nice and clean and I look forward to going again soon.

Fantastic food. Great selection of drinks and fine ales. Visited with my family and was looked after extrememly well by staff. Affordable food prices and all in all great value for money. Will be returning very soon!

Always nice to see a neglected & abandoned pub brought back into use but needs a while to get going. Can't fault the friendly bar staff or the welcoming locals but there seems to a lingering smell of neglect in the air. For a cask marque there was little choice on the taps. Opted for pint of Greene King England's Glory which was below par & was soon on our way again after that.

Very friendly local pub. Just been. Just been awarded the Cask Mark Certificate for great real Ales. Staff are very frendly. A family frendly pub.Garden just being worked on ready for the warmer months.

Está situado enfrente del campo de críquet de pista de Gore al final clave de la calle de Sittingbourne. Un pequeño lugar en dos niveles, con un jardín al lado del pub. Hay una parada de autobús justo fuera. con andadores de perro populares. Tienen una cocina que sirve comida pero es bastante pequeño y puede tomar tiempo para conseguir su pedido. El personal es bueno. Es un lugar tranquilo la mayoría del tiempo.

Food dreadful don't bother plenty of other places to go. We walked out it was so bad. Meat on " Cavery" was small slices of meat kept warm in water! Ran out of potatoes and beef place wasn't even full! I think they need to give up with food concentrate on beer !!!

Todo mi personal y yo tuvimos cena del domingo para pasar un día de personal. La comida era fabulosa personal no puede hacer más por ti. sólo para la cena, pero todos pasamos el día allí. incluso teníamos una copa gratis en el boss☺. Volveríamos. ir a todos volver y probar una de sus noches dand. En general todo fue bueno. Volveremos. X

He tenido un domingo fantástico asado en el largo Hop! ... he leído las últimas dos quejas y puede totalmente en desacuerdo, ya que también estaba allí cuando el grupo de 24 personas y sameday que quiera traer perros en estaban allí.

Esta fue nuestra primera visita a la larga Hop, después de haber viajado de Sidcup en Kent para los miembros de la familia cumpleaños. Llegamos en un grupo grande donde rápidamente nos dimos cuenta de que los terratenientes idea de un asador fue muy diferente a la nuestra.

24 of us went for the carvery is was the worst we have sampled, frozen veg, potatoes and stuffing, the meat was already slice before we arrived and was kept warm in hot water, disgusting is a word to describe it. we all walked out or to coin a phrase we done the long hop, will no be going back....

Booked in for Birthday Cavery, called in few days before to talk it over with new land lord, also seen photo on line of what we thought we were going to get. ie joints of meat and what is advertised as fresh seasonal veg!! Got there to find the meat was all sliced up in small pieces on hot water in terrines and the seven out of 17 guests who got a plate were given three tiny pieces of meat, the so called FRESH seasonal veg was all frozen in big terrines not hot the roast potatoes were frozen cheap potatoes from I recon Iceland the roasts ran out so party were told it would be 20 min for more to come out! We all decided that the food offered was way below standard so we left, my husband paid for the seven meals eaten but was even over charged for that! My husband went back in day after to speak to landlord The landlord didn't apologise. He went on to say we were abusive and left without paying so he had called the police!! No crime number and a pack of lies, it was my birthday and I felt very embarrassed with the dreadful food, my slim line tonic was served in a dirty pint glass I did t complain about that. I'm not one to complain but 9 other adults could not eat the food on offer it was disgusting. To top it all off we asked if they could warm a pizza up we bought it for a child but they even burned that !! So if your thinking of trying the long hop DON'T ITS RUBBISH.

Visitamos para comer el domingo y me dijeron que ya no aceptan perros por normativas de salud y seguridad. Esto es una mentira y puedes verla con la agencia de los estándares de la comida. El dueño entonces me dijo muy grosera es mi pub y mis reglas. Se han publicado una fotografía de su comida en 12 Ish hoy y en 1 O'clock nos eran las primeras personas a comer, no, dejamos el pub al igual que otros 4 personas que quieran comer allí. Su imagen de Tripadvisor de cervezas de los anteriores propietarios.

No pudimos llamar como no tienen número de contacto con ellos. Para leer una reseña de Tripadvisor que declararon que admiten perros. Caminamos hasta el pub y nos dijo que no se admiten perros. Señaló que no existe un número de teléfono disponible para el pub, sólo me dijeron que está en la puerta!!!!. No regresaré

Very warm & welcoming pub. Lovely cosy fireplaces. The food is of top standard. An improvement from previous 😄 !!!!. Sunday Carvery roast dinners are a must.

What a lovely homely pub with such ambiance! Really warm welcome and friendly.A recent repaint outside looks good but the signs are now a bit hard to read coz the lettering is quite small.

Went in the Long Hop before the new owners took over and now it has been brought back to life. Everything looks fresher but still keeps its pub feel. Bands on quite regularly and good choice of drink. Owners really nice and helpful

I have recently experienced the breakfast at the long hop in sittingbourne and can honestly say it is the worst food i have ever experienced!!! I had the Hop Breakfast which consisted of beans, fried tomatoe, mushrooms, sausage and eggs.I have not experienced a breakfast swimming in grease in years - this pub is dated and so is its food - the transport cafe would have been a better choice.Whilst the service from staff was great the actual food quality is abismal the sausage was the type you would see in a chip shop - not an english breakfast suasage, the mushrooms were swimming in the grease that was not even fresh it was previously used fat therfore gave the whole plate a brown oil slick. Could not eat the food as i could feel the strain on my ateries from just the smell.

Poorly made menus with pretty uninteresting food made me wonder if I should go elsewhere but we stayed for lunch. The food was very good for what it was a d the prices were agreeable. I would love something a little tastier though. Would visit again for a drink but not for food.

Went to try breakfast with family and so glad we did. Walked in to a lovely welcome. A local family run pub. Food scrumptious and very reasonable. Very kid friendly. Boys of owner came and played/chatted to our two which kept them happy. Would definately recommend and will be returning.

When the previous owners had owned the pub it was much more crowded and eventful. Now they have changed the building from white to a mint colour, it looks dreadful. They've changed the signs so it looks classier. It's a pub, classy doesn't attract people who just want a drink and a laugh

Just come back from a Sunday Roast lunch and we all have to say it was absolutely lovely and probably one of the best Pub Sunday Roasts we have had. The beef was not your average thin tasteless slice but rather thick slabs of quality roast beef and the veg was perfectly cooked and fresh - a bite where needed. The portion size was very generous - try not to have a huge breakfast before coming here. We highly recommend it and we will definitely be coming again.

The wife and I decided to visit this pub on a Sunday after spotting an add on Facebook for their roast dinners and also that they were available at 5:30pm as well as lunchtime.Only beer available was Shep Neames Masterbrew, which fortunately I like, and my wife had her usual Fosters shandy! Masterbrew was very tasty.We both opted for the roast beef dinner which arrived, after a short wait, on very well laden and presented plates. There were 2 x Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower, peas, carrots, broccoli, roast potatoes and 2 very thick slices of roast beef plus a large gravy boat with a very tasty gravy. The beef was extremely tender and easily cut. All the veg were cooked appropriately, either having a 'bite' or being ideally done. The potatoes though could have perhaps stood a little more browning/crisping up.We both followed up with the Apple Crumble, individually serving bowls with separate bowls for either the ice cream or custard. Very tasty it was too.Along with a 2nd round of drinks the meal was an exceedingly good value and we will be back.

We booked for our valentines meal, food was spot on. Really unusual delicious chips with our perfectly cooked steaks. Portions more than enough and staff were friendly. We have live music and a little puppy keeping us entertained. I'm really glad this pub is back in Sittingbourne and I hope it's here to stay :) thanks for a great evening

Have been visiting this pub regularly since it reopened in October 2014 . Allways get a warm welcome from the landlord and his partner who treat you like friends and not just customers. Good range of largers & real ales ,well cooked and reasonably priced pub grub with theme nights most days of the week . Also dog friendly with special deals for dog owners on a Monday .not a large pub but warm and cosy with it's two log fires in winter and great atmosphere. , long may it continue!
