Great friendly pub great roast dinner Spot on roast. Very friendly staff great atmosphere Has become a regular Sunday fun day

Went For A Sunday Roast And The Chicken Tasted Amazing And I Loved The Atmosphere Definitely Recommend The Roast Chicken Love The Staff

Lovely family and friendly pub with, lovely landlady and landlord, The food is good and great value, well worth a visit you won't be disappointed.

Please support this local pub, dog friendly too

Fantastic landlady and landlord they have really turned this place around and brought the community back together staff are always friendly and welcoming. Their new menu has plenty of options I recommend the Mac and cheese 🧀 and they do a fantastic roast on a Sunday 😁

Had an amazing experience with my daughter,2 for £16 in the week, absolute bargain.collected my daughter Friday afternoon and asked if she wanted to try the food.i had the curry which came with naan bread slices rice poppadoms and mango chutney,it was the best I had eaten for ages.my daughter had the homemade lasagna and 3 pieces of garlic bread,she said it was delicious but left 1 piece of garlic bread as was too full.i asked if she would like a dessert which she amazingly said dad I would love to try it but I'm full up and don't think I could eat anything for a week.staff were lovely polite and made us feel welcome and also a very clean pub.well done as Im not easily pleased 👏

Sunday roast dinner food atmosphere absolutely spot on . All the family enjoyed their meal 👌🏽

It's been 10 plus years since I've Been in the establishment. Food was superb and a very good price 16.00 for 2 meals. Atmosphere was good . Management team and staff made you feel very welcome. Will certainly be visiting again. We'll done rainham arms

We had lasagne and chlli, both dishes were really good, they used good quality mince, no spitty out bits or fat. Good price and we will go again

The meals were really good and lovely and hot. The service was great and the staff very friendly. We will certainly go again and would recommend it.

Was greeted by wonder smile from staff who definitely loved there job. 6 of us had a Sunday roast Dinner. Beef was beautifully cooked and moist lamb was tender and melted in your mouth. Crispy home made roast potatoes lots of seasonal vegetables lots of Yorkshire pudding more for free if you wanted. We ordered a portion of cauliflower cheese which was out standing. Service was ex excellent young lady that served us new the venue well and was very polite and helpful. Only had the roast as portions were so big we didn't have room for a pudding. Ps it's new owners are a dream team pub was packed so I would say pre book I could not upload pictures as system would not let me

We came down for the first roast dinners since the kitchen opened and we were not disappointed! The roast potatoes were so crispy and could tell they were homemade, the cauliflower cheese was AMAZING! Servings were great for the adult and kids roasts. Lovely service from the ladies behind the bar, will defo be back

5 star the burgers are absolutely gorgeous, if you ever fancy somewhere to go please give this place a go, the new owners are very pleasant and it's dog friendly too, we will certainly be back again soon, thankyou

Popped in for a pint on our way Home. What a difference atmosphere new landlords met us with a hello what can I get you I had a cider wife had diet coke. I decided to try a burger from the burger van we had eaten there before that was different. Well burger was perfect beautiful and juicy succulent meat not dry like before. Lots more customers than I had ever seen so someone's doing something right. Roll on when you get the kitchen open. Thank you for being so friendly not like the old git that had it before good luck to laz and Julie

We hold our sign choir sessions here every Monday and this week I decided to try their burger and chips I had the full burger and cheesy chips and I must say for £8 it was absolutely amazing. It's a dog friendly pub and staff are very lovely. I would Def go there for food again

Fantastic atmosphere with great staff and customers. Quiz nights are a great laugh. New landlord and land lady making it a fab pub once again! Fantastic burgers at weekends!

We stopped by bike to have a pint, very nice place and great service from the girl at the bar!

Visited over the weekend with my family as we heard was under new management and was not disappointed! We had food from the burger van which was great and such good value for money and the staff were so friendly and attentive. So good to see the pub doing so well again.

Used to go here years ago then went here for a roast just after lockdown. And it was terrible. The new landlords seem to have sorted it out now. Me and a mate went out for a couple off beers and ended up getting kicked out coz they were closing. Had a great night. There were a lot of young people in there (all of level drinking age) and they were all very friendly and respectful. Great atmosphere and will definitley be returning.

First time visiting this place, pretty good decor, think its new ownership, heard bad things about previous owner, hope they can turn the place around, staff were nice, just hope it doesn't attract the wrong clientèle, so watch this space....

Good meal, plenty of food, excellent service- Good value for money. We will be going back to have the ribs next time.

The owner is amazing and makes my family feel welcome. Amazing pub would recommend for a good night. They do a New Year’s party this year family friendly!

Just had Xmas dinner at the Rainham Arms (25/12/2023) and I was pleasantly very surprised. The food was superb, fresh and nicely laid out. It was a help yourself service at the bar to as much as you want (food). The dining area was sectioned off from the rest of the pub and it worked very well. Excellent selection of meats for all to see on display..... Turkey, Pork and Beef and all of it was lovely to eat and very soft. The table service was excellent, never felt pressurised to eat quickly and move on. Was a lovely place to relax and enjoy good food with good music in the background. Would 100% reccommend it for anyone thinking about next year. Saves loads of hastzle and in my view a bargain for just over £50.

Avoid. Food is nothing like the pictures as they steal photos of food from other places off the internet. Owners are miserable and rude too!

Possibly the worst meal I have ever experienced. Sad looking roast with frozen roast potatoes, over cooked beef and as for the dessert the custard was like glue. Shameful excuse for a roast. First and last time I eat here. And to refuse a refund it just the icing on the cake. You have some cracking 1 star reviews and clearly are not taking the feedback vell. Not are you acting on it

The food is very good value and quality is superb

We are over from Australia on holidays and we’re recommended to go to the Rainham Arms. The food was amazing and the owners were very warm and welcoming. Best ribs I have ever eaten. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.

Food was great, owners lovely and it's just around the corner. Lots going on at the Rainham Arms and looking forward to visiting again.

Terrible food and they obviously takes food photos from other outlets as his mush looks nothing like what is advertised. Never again thank you.

Food was unbelievable and Portion size was amazing. The full rack of ribs was enormous so if you fancy a challenge then go for that. Highly recommended will be back there soon. Keep up the good work Rainham Arms 👍

The food we ordered took ages to arrive and was very disappointing when eventually it did. Service was okay.

I have been in a few times over the last couple of months for Sunday lunch with friends and family and also the Smoked Ribs and the odd Burger. All of which are excellent, it is good to have a local pub serving good quality food.

We had hot dogs and chips delivered and was lovely! Really big portions and quick delivery, the hot dogs was lovely!! A portion of chicken wings was also thrown in for free which was lovely Thankyou! Will be ordering again soon

Our Monthly dining group came to the Rainham Arms and l feel sure we will come again - three had ribs and could not finish them!! Tasty, well cooked and presented I cannot add a photo :(

Great food and well presented, in fact we couldnt finish it!! Our monthly dining group loved it and l am sure we will be back!

We have been here twice now. Very reasonable, nice staff and great food. We will be back 😊

Amazing night , best Sunday night I've had in a long long time , I've used the pub many time but tonight was the best, all the staff are amazing,

I have been in several times and not once was I disappointed at the food served to me good quality good portion sizes staff very polite and attentive great choice of beers

Asked the landlord to cater a wake ,the price was very competitive and he really listened. When we arrived I was absolutely delighted with the quality of the food. The cakes were gorgeous and he had made a special chocolate cake as a centrepiece for us to cut. There was a range of finger food as well as salads and there were proper plates and cutlery, no dreadful bendy paper plates. The staff were friendly and very efficient as some of the attendees kept the bar busy. The toilets were spotless and the standard of food hygiene was exemplary. I really hope this couple do well here they deserve to. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thankyou for making a sad event into a celebration of my brother’s life.

We came to Chatham dockyard for the 40s weekend and stayed at the rainham arms overnight in campervan the owners were lovely and very accommodating and very helpful .big thank you to the chef who work hard in very hot weather in kitchen we had a great meal very well priced good value for money had a good night sleep very quiet after pub hours would recommend.

Good beer ,great Food (ribs to die for) Also follow biker bar so Sticker from Wolf Rider Thailand (my club)

We sat outside.. Has changed a lot from being the old concorde.. We haven't been in during an event.. But there was ample seating and parking..

Me and my partner came here tonight and it was better than expected. We had never heard of it and had only seen a picture on Facebook. Im so glad we went. I had the burger and chips and my boyfriend had the smoke house bbq mixed grill. It was massive! Every bit of it was spot on. The service was brilliant, very friendly and inviting. Lovely people, down to earth and got on well. The place was immaculate with really homely toilets. I'm glad we took a chance as my partner is very picky. We will definitely be going back again,especially for one of their events. Thank you.

friendly staff boozer is very modern food prices are good

Thank you again to all the staff at The Rainham Arms… for a friendly atmosphere & putting on a breakfast to enjoy whilst watching the England game (shame about the result) regardless, the breakfast was delicious & we had a lovely time here as usual. We would recommend this place & we will be returning soon. Thank you.

Far too much food on the plate. Lovely Ribs

Definitely a go to again pub, food first class, happy family atmosphere all around, newly renovated with authentic traditions, pool, entertainment, Bands, and a delicious Menu and good choice of ales See you soon and will be telling others not to miss out on this gem .

Delighted to revisit after it's transformation from the Concorde pub. Now a superb family friendly smokehouse and bar. Couldn't fault the Philly steak baguette, steak perfectly tender and flavoursome. Generous US style portions too and a full menu that makes choosing difficult! Owners very friendly and attentive, passionate about what they do. Looking forward to our next visit.

Aaron the chef cooked our meal , could have ate more well worth the money. Fantastic bar maid Marion made us feel very welcome , will be bringing the family down next weekend would recommend to all families with children.

Hubby and I stopped in for dinner, and found a fabulously renovated modern pub with excellent food. We got a friendly welcome. Good size portions and reasonably priced. Definitely try the ribs - the landlord is a American smoking style enthusiast! Good clean facilities too, would definitely eat there again!

When you ask your kid if he wants lunch at McDonald’s or at the Rainham Arms as a treat and straight away said “The Rainham Arms” you know they are definitely doing great food! ( my boys love a McDonald’s like most kids) and I was relieved with his choice! We are regulars now and love their burgers in particular :) Great entertainment on a regular too and family friendly.

Food was very nice, good price, service was excellent.

Fantastic owners, very accommodating, the food is unreal! It really is a must try, tucked away in a small part of rainham, this place really boasts a great atmosphere along with great company and very, very tasty food! A great mix between classic pub and modern gastro, a must visit

Had a great night in the pub last night. The pub itself is lovely and nicely decorated...included the toilet! The price of the drinks were amazing and the food looks amazing. The team are lovely and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them. Look forward to going back

Me & my partner came here recently & we both really enjoyed the friendly chatty service, the place had also been decorated since I had last been in there when it was called the Concorde.. its now modern, clean & lovely. We stayed here for dinner & both of us thoroughly enjoyed the food & there was plenty to feed us both.. we will definitely be returning again, we are looking forward to it! Definitely would recommend this place for drinks & food. So Thank you.

Lovely place, great bike meet up

I visited this pub for a bike night, the staff was very friendly and prompt. I didn't have any of the food unfortunately but it did look and smell amazing and will definitely be ordering some the next time I'm there.

Went yesterday evening for a meal and had the ribs and chicken wings, they were lovely, plenty of flavour and meat fell off the bone. Landlord and Lady very welcoming and the place is spotlessly clean will definitely be back.

Nice pub.nice people.nice food.

Great place, great atmosphere and great food

Had good reports but sadly inedible should have realised when only 2 tables taken, last Sunday birds eye roast meal for one better

Ordered the barbecue ribs and bacon pancakes, best I've had in years. Highly recommend for food and drinks 👌🏻

What a friendly family pub .popped in for a cheeky pint saw the steaks coming out so we decided to stay for one I had the steak and smoked ribs absolutely amazing flavor ,friend had the cheeky Mexican burger she said was best burger she has had in ages full of flavour and can tell we're home made.landlady is very friendly pub very clean even the toilets .we'll stocked bar so we stayed for a few games of darts .what a hidden jem this place is

Good food, good atmosphere, good “guvna”, clean gaff with all the boozing amenities. Would normally get a 4* but the smoked food knocked her to a 5* Lovely jubbly !

Absolutely smashing! Rang up last minute for a table for Sunday lunch and we’re grateful Mariam had one for us. A well stocked bar was available although there were no soft drinks on tap, most were in glass bottles. The food was something else! Aaron is a keen meat smoker and very good at it! The beef brisket roast was delicious, came with all the trimmings. Our mates who had chicken wings and skewers were very quiet so they went down well and the full rack of ribs were perfect! A real gem 💎 of a pub with a handy location for lots of nice walks.

Went today and tried the lunch menu. The brisket baguette was so tasty & the burger was lovely too. Saw the ribs being prepped for the smoker & will definitely be returning to try some of those ,they look amazing. Friendly staff too

Had meals from the lunch menu today. Gotta say the smoked brisket baguette was amazing. Saw the owner prepping the ribs & will definitely be returning for some of those soon 😋

My girlfriend and I just had the best meal I’ve had in god knows how long, especially in Kent. She loved her food more than me and I’m the foodie !! Couldn’t be happier. Friendly staff. I’m coming back tomorrow 😄🤌🏼

I’ve just been in to have a juicy Lucy burger and oh WOW, I could of eaten it 10 times over 😂 my new favourite pub and restaurant.. be back for a Sunday roast 😍

Friendly, good service and great food.

We just got back from hubby's birthday dinner. He ordered the full rack of ribs and it was delicious, smoked for 6 hours! We will definitiley be back!

Had lunch here today for a friend's birthday and it was lovely very clean and welcoming staff and reasonably priced will definitely come back 😀

Best meal we’ve had in a long time! The smoked ribs and smoked steak are amazing!! Friendly owners & staff and great for families & children. We’d definitely be returning and 1000% recommending to everyone!!

Just got home from the most delicious meal at The Rainham Arms After seeing a post the other day about how good the food was we decided to give it a go for my father in laws birthday and it did not disappoint! My husband had the full rack of 6hr smoked ribs which were amazing! I had the smoked sirloin steak which has got to be the best steak I’ve had in a long time! Mother in law had the hunters chicken which she said was the best she’s had and father in law had chicken and ribs which he said were delicious too! Also we had 2 kids meals which they both thoroughly enjoyed too. The owners and staff were also very friendly and welcoming and nothing was any trouble at all. We’ve only lived in Rainham for a year so don’t have much experience with the pubs and restaurants around here but we can safely say we will 100% be returning and recommending it to everyone!!

We came here on Saturday for the kids Halloween disco, it was brilliant the kids had so much fun. Ticket price included a meal & drink for the kids and a sweet cone each which I thought was great value for money!

Four beautiful roast dinners cannot fault it. The service was good and very friendly staff. We'll definitely come again.

Went to the childrens halloween party at the Rainham arms, It was amazing. Kids had a whale of a time and thoroughly enjoyed their food. Staff worked really hard so Thankyou to them. This place does an enormous amount for the community, organising lots of events. Next one is psychic night can’t wait.

Went to the children halloween party, we get told we have to sit in the corner so we basically get hidden away from everyone, after kids got their food, whole massive table ordered their food, im alone with my daughter so I go to order myself, rudely get told I'm not allowed even though they serve everyone else and even walked away when I tried to order a coke.. its like they have something against single mothers..I ended up have to take my daughter home early because we just felt so unwelcomed

Just left here feeling quite sick. Multiple hairs in a sandwich, was told it had been remade, it clearly wasn't or they add hairs to all of their sandwiches. Then excuses like "its an onion hair" or "maybe some of the halloween decorations fell in". Ridiculous. Specials board say wings are £4, tried to charge £10 when ordering. Flat beer. Passive aggressive staff. £35 for the worst lunch. Literally a disgusting place, don't waste your time or money. Edit for response. So the flat drinks were free? Two rounds of flat drinks at £10 each took our bill to £35. So we had spent £35 and left feeling sick. You clearly didn't remake the sandwich as it took you less than 3 minutes to bring it out the second time. And by the third time of you poking it about the chiefs covid cough and food round his mouth we completely lost our appetites and left. Taking the top off a sandwich isn't the same tearing it to pieces. And frankly were glad we did to expose what can only be described as a barbershop floor looking back at us! And so whats the difference between the £4 wings and the £10 wings or were your staff just pulling prices out the air? I don't think £13.90 for two people is a bad price at all for a bit of food (not a meal) is edible, but cheap prices don't give you the right to cut corners on hygiene. If there is hair in the food we're server, that makes it inedible for us, and puts other people off their meals too. Maybe not for you, but we do have some standards. If we had been met with a half decent apology rather than BS excuses and attitude I wouldn't even have bothered with a review, but your tone at the time and in your reply to the original review (and other bad reviews) just show what a terrible place this is to spend money.

Just had salt and pepper chicken strips and chips. Absolute banging,I totally recommend the chicken strips and chips.

Cheers for lastnite loved a game of pool with the young lads,ordered the chicken and chips for a takeaway and must give credit where due was loads better than KFC and alot cheaper 👍😊

Not our first time here! First game for the fact they do Smokey bbq stuff Second time I had the sea food platter which was just what I was after! The boyfriend aswell. Has been mega chuffed with the burgers he’s had there! Not to...

Lovely people that own this establishment. Food is amazing and friendly locals highly recommended.

Had a meal in the Rainham Arms. Made to feel very welcome ☺ starters and main meal excellent. Host very welcome 😊 will definitely go back x

Honestly so dissapointed We found out recently that our local pub (literally 2 roads away) does a Sunday carvery. It was a little pricey but so nice and although the place was empty we where sure it would pick up and raved about it to...

Absolutely amazing food drink service. Tremendous service. Would recommend to anyone

Amazing pub, very friendly staff. The food is amazing, highly recommend. Re booked already for the end of the month and looking forward to coming back again.

Delicious food with friendly staff and atmosphere! Love the chicken skewers and burgers and the kids always want the Oreo sundae! Highly recommend!

Had our wedding reception here and would like to give a massive thanks to the staff. We were let down by another local venue and The Rainham Arms stepped in at short notice. They arranged the food and entertainment and I have to say there was more than enough food for our guests and a wide variety of it. The DJ was exceptional and all who attended had a great night.The locals were very accomodating given that the pub has to keep normal trade going.

Additional note.... I am not a troll, I am a neighbour who is sick of the music! We have messaged you on Facebook and called you when the music is a high volume, each time there is no acceptance just attitude. This isn't the first weekend of playing loud music, St George's day being one and now on two occasions the music has been playing at 5am, I am no where near your speaker but trust me I feel like I am! Most of the time there isn't anyone in the front beer garden to warrant playing the music..... Seems to be for the neighbours benefit. This has been an ongoing issue and I will be contacting Medway Council because speaking to you directly doesn't help. Your response which you have now deleted: Party central every weekend ??? It's jubilee Bank Holiday weekend it's the first time this year we have had music in the garden , and the volume is monitored, maybe next time don't sit right next to the speaker. Another troll !!! It's party central every weekend however there's rarely anyone in the pub or the pub garden! Music is far too loud to actually have a conversation. Don't bother visiting and I feel sorry for the poor neighbours so much for 'respect our neighbours'! Zero stars!!!!

I honestly can’t fault this place… the food was amazing. Staff could not have done more. Kids got an amazing little treat at the end. It was just the best value for money meal I have ever had. Lovely family friendly atmosphere. Would 100% recommend without a doubt.

Loved my visit. Out of the way but really well maintained good beer lpta of space and made to feel very welcome

Frost time in here karaoke night not to busy but the locals seem to in joy it x friendly staff

Great food and friendly staff. definitely recomend

working lunch- lovely clean place ; food was lovey - steak salad was perfect!! deffo worth trying staff helpful (rachel)

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff

What an absolute shambles... I commented on a picture of food they posted stating I was eager to try their food before they posted their most recent pic and was thanked for my constructive criticism and then called a keyboard warrior... They proceeded to say that the people of our local community cant afford their chef/butchers skills so he refuses to cook anything decent...Then they blocked me from their Facebook page and deleated the comments... Didn't bank on me screenshoting them and posting them here though 🤦‍♂️
