The Old House at Home in Swale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in for a beer first time There locals bar not too friendly

A very pleasant and welcoming waterside pub. Well cooked, tasty lunchtime pub grub served with a smile. I first came here as a child in the mid 1960's and returning now for a nostalgic midweek trip down memory lane with my Dad, it's still a proper traditional pub in a good way.

A group of us went there for dinner on a sunday, only to find they only serve food tues-sat. Had previously tried to phone them but numbers on website dont work

A very simple little bar. It's not haute cuisine but still good for a hot snack and a drink. Well located near the seafront.

Nice Place with good view of the harbour and friendly staff celebrated my father's 40 here. Notes For Google Maps: LGBTQIA+ Friendly, Wheelchair Accessible, Disability Friendly, Friendly Staff, Good for views of harbour.

Details online need updating,no food available until August the 1st, and no one ever answers the phone number given

Fairly quiet for a warm sunday eve watching the sunset. Cant make too many comments as only sat outside, would go back

Nice little pub by the water in queenborough!

Great little pub sitting right on the harbour with views out across the sea.

Used to be great, now a bit loud & chavvy, still great sunsets from the key.

Fantastic pub on the river Thames with a raised beer garden that you could sit outside on a sunny day and watch the ships go by

Great staff and friendly punters

We went there today 7/12/23 with our little dog. We had an amazing breakfast good quality food at a good price. The staff are lovely we will definitely be going again soon . Very doggie friendly lovely atmosphere by the harbour.

Tried the old house at home for the first time with myself misses and boy we have the 2 small breakfasts and my boy had the pancakes food was lovely and hot prices very reasonable and staff very friendly and welcoming we will be back to try the Sunday roast at somepoint highly recommended 😀

We only stopped for a quick pint before a long journey home and as a result can't say much other than its a lovely looking pub and the staff were friendly.

We came with our beagle for a roast dinner on a blustery day after a morning walk along the harbour. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed with a smile from the landlord and staff and shown to our table. Dog bowl and a sausage for the dog and we ordered our roast. The roast was proper home cooked! Very tasty, huge portions and exceptional value for money! We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back again very soon. Thanks again.

Had the roast dinner. Was fast and piping hot. Would definitely return.

Omg the fish (rock)and chips were the best I've tasted. Beautiful, I'll definitely be back. Burgers look amazing, and I definitely want a Sunday roast 😋 lovely customer service and great location

Great little boozer,frequented by friendly, good craic locals.

Loved this pub. A gluten free breakfast was arranged for my wife. We both had the big breakfast. They were massive and one of the best we've had. We sat outside overlooking the harbour. When we come to the Isle of Sheppey again, we will head straight to the Old House At Home for Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Brilliant!

Young lady behind the bar greeted us and kindly found us a table for 2 on Sunday about 10.30. Windy day so most of indoor seating taken, several outside free. Offered the included hot drink straightaway.Breakfast was timely, hot, very tasty, great quality and very good value. One white slice of toast was included. If I had to quibble then I'd say option of wholemeal would have been good but won't be stopping us returning. This pub has a quaint feel and situated right by the harbour.

Descent place for a quick pint! Have most of the lager and few ales. They also have a big garden to the rear. Beautiful location for a pub. They had live music as well.

Oh wow is all I have to say, the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The pub was beautiful and the atmosphere was relaxed, the quality of the food was 10/10. We chose fish and chips and savaloy and chips and it was the best meal we ever had!

If you are visiting the Isle of Sheppey go and find this pub, really nice staff and a chef/cook who cares about his food. In fact all the customers were friendly and a lot of them seemed to be regulars.

Popped in Friday lunchtime for a quick drink.. Everyone else was eating and the food that appeared looked fantastic, so I couldn't resist! Definitely a good idea, all freshly cooked and generous portion sizes... Very friendly staff as well... Lots of outside space if you like that kinda thing 5 star

Really lovely breakfast, food well cooked, good prices, lovely setting, will be going back

I saw this little gem advertised on FB promoting their Breakfast’s so we decided to give it a try. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress who handed us the menu. My Hubby went for the larger option i the smaller one. When it arrived it was a feast to behold. Very, very tasty, lovely and hot. It was certainly the BEST Breakfast on the island. The landlord & landlady we’re extremely friendly & told us they had only been at the pub for 7 months. They have lots of new idea’s for this lovely little find. We will definitely be back VERY SOON.

Fabulous breakfast. We used to avoid this pub when visiting Queenborough which always gave off a bad vibe. Attracted by the Full English Board outside, we decided to give it a go. Wonderful new owners who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Superb breakfast with everything on the plate including home-made bubble & squeak and black pudding! But you can make a choice of what you do or don’t want. Great sausages. Lovely hot coffee and even herbal teas! Live music Saturdays and open mic Weds. This kind of hospitality is hard to come by. Give this lovely couple your trade if you go on the island. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely breakfast at a great price

Now serving amazing home made food and vegan versions of all the mains! A gorgeous old pub, a proper pub, right on the sea front. Extremely welcoming and friendly with lovely regulars and locals. Great juke box, open mic nights, good selection of beers. Amazing food, thoroughly enjoyed the big breakfast with bacon and sausages from the local butcher and the bubble was to die for! Sunday roasts are also absolutely delicious with the best roast potatoes going! Fantastic new landlord and ownership. Thanks to Paul & Nat for being amazing and bringing life and love into this historic and very special pub ❤️

This is a really lovely little pub, really friendly staff, food and Sunday lunches are delicious, family friendly, lovely views accross the water. Good value for money.

We stay regularly in the area as we have family living close by, we decided on the off chance to pop in for a breakfast, Wow best decision it was so nice we went back the following day. The owners & staff are so friendly & genuinely nice people who can’t do enough for you. Lovely little gem will deffo return on future visit.

Fantastic big breakfast!!! Has to be the best on the island!!!, will definitely be back again, thank you! Xx yum!

New owners loverly pub ..great open mic every 2 weeks

Nice pub. Friendly landlord. Good prices

Four adults visited this pub for first time Pub overlooks the Thames Estuary. We were welcomed with a smile and found a table by a lovely friendly lady. Nothing was to much trouble for her. She is a real asset to the pub. Sorry I did not get her name. Couldn't fault the lunches we all had. Food was all freshly cooked portions were large. Scampi chips salad,fish & chips,ham egg chips. Lots of other options were available. Toilets were clean could just do with a fresh coat of paint.

Had a chilli dog and chips very reasonabley priced. Would go again.

We had the ribs, the chilli dog, and the nacho’s everything was eaten, it was all hot, very tasty and will definitely be back again, beer was cold and crisp and value for money, well worth a visit

Very nice staff and food. Dog friendly too and good area. Very underrated pub and good turnaround with the owners. Shoutout to Helen and Kez!

Myself, my husband and my 3 yr old had lunch here - the pub is full of character all to do with the area and history. The staff were lovely and welcoming and the food was just lovely, hadn't had a jacket potato for years and it definitely hit the spot! The menu has a good selection, including for kids and is very reasonable. Will definitely come again next time we're in the area 👍

A great traditional pub , with excellent pub grub which is very reasonably priced.A great place for walks & photography across the Swale.

Lovely local pub where we were made to feel really welcome by everyone including the regulars. Thanks for a lovely evening x

Friendly locals and owner. Great views over Queenborough Harbour

Nice friendly welcome and a good pint of Guinness

Fantastic location. Very friendly.

Just a pleasure to enjoy a pint in. Interesting local people make you welcome, A smattering of yachties there to enjoy a very pleasant boozer. We call in every time we sail to Queenbourgh.

Great service after a long boat trip

Really great local pub in Queenborough. Choice of beer not vast, but totally fine. Proper tavern. Excellent.

Absolutely great place to visit, loads of great people from different walks of life. I would definitely highly recommend this place . We love it there .

Excellent service and friendly people

Lovely place right on the sea front great staff who served us even though they were ready for closing I would certainly visit again.

Very friendly and happy customer service with little delay, good outside seating to enjoy the view and drinks.

Nice view right next to harbour

nice proper local with landlady and locals very freindly

Lovely ambience, service, beer and a log fire. Great addition at this time of year

Good beers. Good staff. Proper old boozer

Great place to watch the sunset with a cold beer

I come back to Queenborough once a year, as my father was from here & I came down as a child, from Blackburn, Lancashire, to my grandma's on Whiteway Road, for summer holidays & christmas's. I make a bee-line for the Old House At Home, as I was never old enough to frequent it back in the 60's & 70's. My favorite tipple is London Pride which is on draught here. The staff & locals always make me feel welcome here & I cannot wait until my next visit. I know much of it is nostalgia, Mrs. Phipps shop which is now a convenience store, the glue factory & its smell etc. I love it. And Blue Town. Need to bring my 'kids' down!

Charming local pub, very friendly atmosphere and a great choice of drinks

Small and friendly. Always a warm welcome. Reasonably priced beer and a great place to chill and watch the sun set, especially if the tide is in. + live music on Sunday's

Great atmosphere, only been here once, but was made very welcome lovely pub and friendly people

Always a great venue. Great hosts, and a fantastic clientele. As a regular singer in here I always have a fun night.Highly recommended.

Pikeys as far as the eye could see

An old small roomed pub with a great location by the historic quay and some well kept beer here too. Welcoming but decor needs a bit of TLC.

Great place for a few drinks, sits alongside the harbour. Good views, has live bands now & again.

Friendly locals. Free cheese on toast on Mondays! 🧀

Excellent drinking hole. Harbour view fantastic

Had good time as usual. Great band *Get Carter* friendly, good beer , 🎶🎷🎶🎸🍻👍

A wonderful bar for sitting on the shore at sunset with a glass of delicious light beer and watching the ships sail by

Lovely pub end of the street by the water side by the sea at Queensborogh kent staff very friendly

Good crowd of people real ale and nice views

Great atmosphere.. Great warm place and they always make you feel welcome.

Great little pub, nice and quiet and nice views too!

Great time had by all Mixed group of clientele Friendly staff Locals as well as tourists On the sea front Good selection of beer

Always a good welcome to passing sailors. Good beer too!

Great wee pub, the bitter was lovely, landlady was very nice, sat outside and enjoyed the amazing view, all good

Honestly hate writing bad reviews but the experience I had in here on Friday was so awful I had too. We felt like we weren't particularly welcome as soon as we set foot in the pub, 4 adults, 4kids and 2 dogs but our friends have been to this pub with us before when visiting and we've always had a great time and never any problems. Straight away told we weren't allowed through to the back with the dogs (always allowed too before it changed hands) apparently that's because there's food in that area (always was before and never a problem) I saw a vtech child's plastic garage with a couple of hot wheels car and the 2 boys went straight over and started playing really nicely and I actually thought how brilliant of the pub we can have a nice drink and the kids are happy.Tried making conversation with the bar lady and that was hard work and she seemed like she'd rather not chat. I then saw what I presume to be the owner of the pub come out of the kitchen and go over to the boys, pick the garage up and snatch the cars out of their hands. I for a split second thought she may be bringing it through to where we were sitting but no she took it away out the back. I'm sorry but don't put toys out and then take then of the kids when they play with them and if you're going to do that come and explain to the parents what you're doing first and why because my blood level went through the roof at the sight of her snatching toy cars off my child � bloody awful lady and as looking as she remains the owner we will never set foot in the pub again and will spread this around to everyone we know. Left our paid for round it was that awful and went to the Admirals Arm which was very welcoming to both dogs and kids

Visited on Friday lunchtime. Without exception everybody was friendly and welcoming. Nice lady behind bar and lunchtime drinkers all said hello. Queenborough pretty little place with harbour, sea views and lovely 13 century church. Free parking nearby

We called here one lunchtime just for coffee but would certainly return sometime soon. There was no food available but not sure if that was because it was Monday or in general. Nice location overlooking estuary with boats and pleasant interior. Very friendly lady behind bar and customers.

Very friendly pub enjoyed our visit. Nice views from window of the sea good parking. A very old traditional pub set in nice location

We came in for a drink and lunchtime and the land lady was do friendly we came back in the evening. Great value, lovely big garden with BBQ and great for children. Defo one to visit as a family

We chose this venue for our works Christmas Dinner Party, as it was a small local venue that we knew was being transformed by the new owner Debbie, We arrived half an hour before our table(s) were booked to enjoy pre-dinner drinks and was greeted by Debbie and her staff and shown to the small restaurant area with glowing open fire roaring away and found we had it all to ourselves, so plenty of space. We had pre -ordered our menu choices from their varied Christmas menu and were sat down right on time, and thoroughly enjoyed a feast fit for a King, plenty of everything including extra veg. Our Group had home made pate, prawn cocktails, and Garlic Mushrooms as starters, followed by Traditional Roast Turkey with trimmings, Roast Beef and Dover Sole stuffed with prawns and Scallops, Deserts were traditional Christmas pudding with either Cream, Ice Cream or custard or all if you wanted it ! Home made cheesecake, or Home made apple crumble, this followed by a massive selection of Cheese and biscuits, then mince pies and to finish Coffee and a platter of assorted mints. The whole lot was absolutely fantastic and our people were saying book it for next year now ! we found they had a good selection of wines, spirits and real ales and all were very reasonably priced. There were 10 in our party and the set 5 course meal was £15.95 per head, the cheese platter extra, our drinks bill came to around £100 and included wines, spirits, beers and soft drinks, fantastic value and highly recommended. Will we be back, you bet we will.

Absolutely disgraceful attitude from the bar lady who threatened to 'throw us out' for what can only be described as talking loudly at 10 o'clock! We did retaliate by singing Xmas songs loudly in jest! Honestly went out for a civilised Xmas works drink only to have it ruined by a totally miserable bar staff member! Never to return and NEVER recommend! Rude and totally unsociable members of staff. DO NOT GO THERE unless you want a morbid quiet unsociable drink.

Good prices, pleasant music, sometimes karaoke. friendly staff. Good food including fresh seafood. Many events. Well run pub. My hangout!
