The Robert Pocock - J D Wetherspoon in Gravesham

Good local pub with lots of space

Very great value for a restaurant, I must admit. And very lovely service.

I have been to many branches of Wetherspoon and so far I only found this branch knows how to do grill meats. Their mixed grills are fantastic, tender, soft and aromatic.

Good food at very reasonable prices. Limited catering for gluten free people but ok. Easy to order through the app at your table and the staff are helpful and friendly.

Food from the grill is so horrible burnt. The grill is very dirty and all the dirt you can taste on your steak and halloumi bleed very bad kitchen

great service light and clean staff 5*

Double entrance, quiet and cosy area upstairs to feast

Looks small from the outside but large on the inside. Loads of space and a garden. Didnt eat, just had drinks but the food looked good. Some amusing cheery locals added to the atmosphere of a proper old local pub despite it being a chain. Add to thus me having a friend with almost the same name as this pub, made the experience very pleasant. Sticky tables, standard for Spoons. Wouldnt be without them.

Much nicer than other Wetherspoon establishments visited in this part of the country. Clean and tidy on this visit with swift service when ordering via the app to the table.

American breakfast was very good

This JD pub was the first one I visited out of four yesterday afternoon service to your table was excellent as all ways thanks

Family meal with a 2 year old child. Very good dishes, hearty. Vegetarian and vegan dishes possible. Affordable prices and pleasant location.

Great value for food and drinks But annoying that I asked for a double absolute and received a vanilla absolute which I didn't ask for So I spoke to the server who intern spoke to the manageress who refused to replace the drink or offer a refund as they had no absolute vodka left only vanilla So I'm a mind reader as well I meant to know u only had vanilla Shocking customer service

Good food, reasonably priced, cheerful staff seating inside and out. Come here to have a good meal, a few drinks and a good chat.

I do enjoy a spoons and you get what you'd expect, can be messy and sticky at times but with a fast pace environment and cheep food and booze you get what you pay for

Called in after shopping . Typical Wetherspoons pub . Busy, cheap, food ok ,good beers . Enjoyed chilled out visit .worth a go anytime.

I went in today and got my table ready to order food, I was waiting at the bar and next to be served as there was only 1 other at the bar... 1 person was serving, 1 was putting glasses away, it was around 2.30pm, the lady that was putting away glasses then served a lady who appeared, even though I was next, the lady then starts taking orders for everyone else behind her, pint after pint... I tune around and now my table gas been taken as me being served was taking far too long.. . I worked for spoons for 4 years, and never does anyone I worked with ignore people at the bar, no acknowledgement or anything, just blatantly ignore me and serve your regulars it's OK, because you just lost a customer... goto the peacock, food is better and you get served whether regulars or not

Brilliant young man called George was so very very helpful and could not do enough for you. Brilliant young man.

Good food with a pint included at generous prices. What's not to like!

Nice pub colleague that brought food to table friendly and helpful colleague that brought our drinks to table was miserable and needs to attend a customer service training course on how to stay positive when under pressure.

Nipped in for a drink, before going home. Nice pub, gets busy.

Cheap booze and weirdos, you ordered? This is your place to drink!

Great food, quick service, it's Wetherspoons it's what you expect

Didnt eat here, just drinks ordered on app. Fairly quick delivery to table. No interaction from server. Atmosphere not helped by elderly lady on next table effing with every other word. Your average wetherspoons, would prob use again if in Gravesend.

It's a Spoons therefore amazing!

The fights outside the front door are entertaining

Really needs an update, looking shabby. New toilets are impressive albeit rather cramped now. Still my favorite local pub though.

Why is this pub cheaper than Dartford Flying Boat?

I likes this pub was nice all round reasonably priced food was tasty and well done the staff had good manners I mean I got there bout 12 left around 8 me and my freind had bout 5 drinks each food and dessert only cost roughly 80 quid not bad for 8hrs

Guinness tasty 😋. Always a pleasure 🙏 ☺️

You can never beat a Wetherspoons! Very great value for a restaurant, I must admit. And very lovely service.

What’s up with the servers here? Their attitude is disgraceful lately. Feels like they’re having a bad day and they’re taking it out on the customer. I don’t expect to be given attitude when I’m not being out of line. You need to step up your game Wetherspoon.

The starf are grate not like the other spoons I've been in wear they would rather talk to each other than serve the customers and the food is very nice

Absolutely awfull mixed grill dry and flavourless. Chicken and bacon salad dry withered.wiill not eat there again.

Tried sausages and mash with onion and red wine gravy. Very bland, sausages and gravy lacked flavour and the portion of mash was tiny.

The curry was heavenly!! So delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic!! The staff were lovely and friendly. The food and drink options were top, especially for a Wetherspoons

Very large pub, there an upstairs also for eating. This is also a drinkers pub, which is separate to the eating area but all in all a good pub. As always, cheap beer, cheap food.

Came in here for food and drinks with friends, food was great and drinks were very well priced.

Was served by Millie my first experience in a spoons that I have actually received good customer service she is a credit to the company. Thank you, Millie

Standard Witherspoons. Normal mix of clients you would expect. Good layout. Clean tidy, toilets in good condition and clean.

Lovely pub , tried the app for the first time to get a drink and it worked , we had the Christmas dinner it was very nice , just one comment , had mash potato, sorry but Christmas dinner without roast potatoes, not good , but the rest of it was very nice

£2.66 for a pint how can you complain

Had a very nice drink with a friend. Very good staff - thanks

...One extremely popular warm... friendly family public house... really friendly staff and excellent food... If you love your tea or coffee then for £1.02 you can refill your cup from 08:00 till midnight... free wifi and somewhere to keep out of the cold... Fully recommended...

Unbeatable prices for quality food and drink. Only given 4 stars for service as sometimes there is a large time gap between receiving food and drink. Other than that, it's perfect.

I love ben. Please give Ben a raise or a promotion.

Young Benjamin and the seasoned Jackaran delivered impeccable service on this day, today, which is known as Monday the 11th of December (in the Gregorian calendar). These virile young men helped both me and my life partner navigate the proverbial trenches of the wetherspoons experience, truly a shining beacon of light in these dark dark times. A conversation on the goat economy after a long day, simsideous tales that titilate the essence of our very being. These are but a few of the many experiences you will experience at the bar of Roboto Pocketcock 6/9 would recommend for furries and enbys alike, alongside classic bitter drinkers. Love you guys <3 sub

Go here regularly, the food is always good and consistent.

Not the best spoons, a makeover is long over due

paid for drinks, sat down, had some food that was placed on the table that wasnt ours. before we could let the staff know, my mate had touched one of the chicken wings. knowing it couldnt be served after that, we ate some to prevent food waste. a lady in a blue dress came and took them off us, speaking to us in a very rude manner. I stood up to start going toilet when it feels like she intentionally tried to get in my way and even pushed a plate into my back walking past.

Others having a drink I wanted a coffee as I am the driver told no the machine is switch off yet still open for another already another hour

loads of drunks around the doorway having thier cigs .

Friendly staff. Cheap drinks. Would go again.

Very nice pub. Friendly staff and very fast table service

Good food, quick service, very clean

Quite frankly, a horrible filthy dirty pub. The toilets, particularly the disabled are an absolute disgrace, and you should be absolutely ashamed at the conditions you expect patrons to accept. TBH, you are better off staying at home than visiting this place.

What's not to like, For reasons known only to them, Left wing comedians deride it, but the spoons clientele are a lovely cross section of society enjoying great value and excellent quality. Very popular. Toilets got a little rundown but are now being refurbished.

Quite frankly a filthy dirty pub The toilets are an absolute disgrace, particularly for those with a disability. You would be better off staying at home than going here.

We were served by Sam this past Saturday (26/08/23) and after accidentally putting the wrong table number on our order via the app, he searched the whole pub to find us and then delivered our food. He was very attentive, friendly and the food was spot on. Second time here and we have been very pleased both times.

Used to love the pocock but now it's getting really shabby. Gammon steak is more like bacon (thin), only sauce they have is pretty much ketchup, don't bother to cut your pizza and the normal steak is that tough it asked me for a fight outside. Will not be coming here for food anymore unless some serious changes are made

Always a good choice of real ales. At a good price.

RIP wetherspoons. Going with your family now stopping warming up your baby food. Fair enough "company policy". Then go and grab some crayons none, fair enough no one orde in. Then the food comes and you can count 12 chips as a side of a burger lol similar in you fish and chips!! You tell your waiter to call the manager TWICE to show your plate, no one ever comes and when you realise the guy is in is brake having dinner! 🤣🤣 amateur service! Poor costumer service not family friendly under trained staff! But not all is bad, as a regular if you want to go on a piss I recommend! They can take good care of pissed heads! That's easy pint full pint empty! So just do that close the kitchen and handle the piss heads, just don't take the piss... REST IN PEACE

The grubbiest Spoons on the planet. Clearly never seen a cleaner in years. Four bites on my legs and a cheap bottle of Newcastle Broon Ale were the highlight.

Spoons is cheap and cheerful and you get what you pay for. BUT this Spoons is grim. Dirty from top to bottom. Everything is sticky, the tables are dirty and I don’t think the carpet has been cleaned since 1971. The pictures on the wall have food spattered on them and the toilets are grim. The best thing about this place is the door on the way out.

Friendly staff and friendly locals a warm and welcoming place that makes you feel welcomed

It is a spoons, what could go wrong?

Decent Wetherspoons. Use the app for best service.

Nice big looking weatherspoons but the women toilet’s are filth. Service nice and quick. Food was lovely, nice and hot. Sausage & mash Chicken wings, bites and chips but bit tight on the curry sauce. Katsu curry was ok but the pasta was beautiful.

Food invariably good even allowing for the fact that some things are bought in cooked or part cooked. Prices have increased but still much cheaper than others

I its so comfortable, home from home, you can enjoy your time and meal!! The drink and food very good value!! Best ever we always like to have a walk in and walk home!! We did talk to a staff member, waitress, young lady around 20s very long hair, there, we haven't seen her since she was lovely made a point to talk to us!! We didn't mind we loved it, Thats was around 6weeks!! Or more or less, miss her!! She was the only one who made a friendly chat!! 🥰🥰🥰💓💗💓💗💓💖 we went sat 15 on July 2023 The down side; We noticed no tables and chairs outside after 9.30pm no table or chairs, we always used to go out to have a last drink outside. What happened??🤔 Did ask members of staff didn't seem to know why!! Love going out there? Now they were taken away, I do hope they put them back on Saturday nights?? from Tina and steve!!

Typical wetherspoons, toilets upstairs, zero atmosphere, cheap food (which was lovely - recommend giving the katsu curry a try) and drink but people all seemed to be enjoying themselves, we didn't wait long for food/drinks and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Beautiful food and great place to meet people

Food was nothing to write home about. You pay for what you get I suppose. Certainly was service with a grimace..

Great atmosphere and drinks with great staff

Standard spoons. But always pleasant.

You know what to expect from Wetherspoons so hard yo be disappointed.

My partner and dined here on a Saturday afternoon very busy, our food and drink was delivered quickly, was well presented, staff members helpful, friendly and polite, the gentleman who cleaned our table deserves a mention he was rushed of his yet he still came to clean our table. Thank you.

Very diverse menu with a good value, absolutely tasty, nice selection of beer and spirits, nice atmosphere

First time here great food friendly staff quick 😋 service

Toller Pub, leckeres Essen umbedingt hingehen.

Lovely place for a drink. And somethink to eat.

Lovely and quick service food was fine

It's a Wetherspoons, nothing else to say!!!

Terrible service and food I’ve been to the pocock for food a few times over the years and it’s always been ok. Yesterday we visited as a family and I’ve got to say the food was awful. Badly presented. I ordered lasagna and got a massive plate with a small unappealing microwaved piece of lasagna on the side of the plate!!! Nothing else!!! I engaged with 2 members of staff who were both quite unfriendly and unwelcoming. The service was shocking. Some basic health and safety issues need to be addressed. The gormless waiter even passed a boiling hot plate to a child. He must have known it was hot as he had an oven glove on!!!! No warning. I mentioned it to him and he just stared at me with no response. Completely shocked me. Most of the many tables were sticky and full of empty plates. I was given the wrong order and told, quite abruptly, by the other rude member of staff that’s what I’d ordered! The table behind said it was theirs and she just took it back and gave it to them with no acknowledgment of her rudeness. The whole place looked very messy and tired. I probably will find myself a new establishment. Such a shame coz it’s used to be a lovely place to get a cheap decent meal.

Terrible service, very arrogant. We were told not to be served any drinks only after we ordered one bottle of wine to share with three of us. We were quiet all time and not causing any problems to other people and just having relaxing time. We all got very surprised and disppointed why we were treated with no respect.

Excelente food (big portion) , excelente service, staff very friendly. excellent price. Very recommended. Nice place to relax. Excellent breakfast.

A lovely pub just a short walk from the station. There are a number of levels throughout including an upstairs level around a hanging artwork. This pub has entrances off two streets: Stone Street and Windmill Street. The decor is very much the usual dark wood and with the usual spoons seating options. The staff were lovely and the pub was clean and tidy when we were there. The Guinness was excellent as was the Doom Bar - although we did have a bit of a wait for them.

Professional staff, helpful, food was perfect, I had fish and chips,

Nice Wetherspoons but seems a little dated now which is a shame, could do with an upgrade but lovely helpful staff, great pints!

Absolutely amazing staff. They helped take care of my boyfriend who had a little too much to drink. They were caring and so happy to help. I couldnt be more grateful, thank you guys so much, you were terrific. ❤️❤️❤️

Nice place love weather spoons, such a shame food wasn't up to standard in fact so much of the food on the plate was cold

The food is nice and good value of money.

Food was absolute pants! Ordered 4 meals. All four wrong! Things missing, and things that shouldn't be there was, and my meat was cooked badly. Informed staff and they just got missing few sauces and chips.

Really quick service for breakfast, actually had a runny yolk on my eggs bennedict which was amazing. They were happy to swap the fried egg for scrambled egg for my daughter with no hassle at all. If you need a few extra steps for your fitbit, head to the loo...its a fair ol' staircase, but an access friendly version available near the bar .

Just what you expect. Good cheap quick. Good service

I love coming here. The refillable hot chocolate is 99p. It has all of its hot drinks refillable and that is the recipe for a great afternoon with your best friend. This place is busy on the bottom floor all the time. The drinks are cheap and the service is fast. If you get your laptop out it is faster still. It is a place for family meals, people catching up, single women to feel safe. The food is still adorable which is great. I like the stain glass windows. It is an old building that has turn into a pub . It has kept the fetchers which is respectful and cool. The staff are lovely and the loos are clean. It has free WiFi which is useful if you do not have internet.

Good cheap food and drink what's not to like

They wouldn't serve us food and it wasn't even 9 pm 🤔

Excellent Wetherspoons, good service and drinks selection
