The Sans Pareil in Medway

In the beginning we found this pub by accident and thought how lovely it was, we don't live in the area and have only just come back and thought we'd try it again, absolutely lovely still and very friendly landlord still, the pub serves food but we didn't have any this time but I'm sure it's still nice.

Great place, friendly staff live music, love it!

Had a lovely Sunday roast, very quick service, food was really nice, massive portions! Would definitely recommend x

Works team lunch. Pre ordered food to ensure all of us were served in a timely manner. Food tasted better than it looked.

This was a last minute booking, we were looking for a carvery and stumbled across this pub. The girl who served us was lovely. But sadly the food was not so good.

Our local and we love it! We've enjoyed lots of live music there. The outdoor area is stunning with potted palms, a sheltered seating area and a huge outdoor corner sofa. A conservatory too with a pool table, sports on TV. Highly recommend

Very happy what's been done with the place. Outside space has had a great refit 👍🍻

This is an amazing relaxed pub with brilliant atmosphere and great service! There is plenty of parking It has become our regular pub now

1, we were waiting for our food for over an hour and had to chase the food at the bar 3 times. Upon the 3rd visit to the bar we were offered a refund “if we wanted” but went to eat our food as it had arrived 1 hour and 20 minutes after ordering. We ordered 3x ‘tapas’ and each were as tasteless as the last. The ribs having not much taste in the sauce and being over 50% fat.

Road works outside but still accessible for the car park.

I cant say i have ever had a bad experience here to be honest. The food was great and the new menu looks really good. Also the outside garden refurb looks cracking. Perfect place to watch the Euro 2024 this summer

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch here. The food was fab and the staff very welcoming. Nice family atmosphere and very clean facilities. Would definitely recommend and we look forward to visiting your newly refurbished garden in the summer.

This was the best Sunday Roast I have had anywhere , the Roast Potatoes were to die for and what I loved was that all the Vegetables were peeled and that is something that Restraunts don't do these days and I don't like Veg with the skin left on. I would reccomend this Restaurant to anyone.

I don't normal do reviews but felt this was needed. Went for mothers day meal we was told we had taken the last table however we was stuck in the conservatory which had no heating so it was cold there were 5 other tables empty the whole time we were there. The roast dinner was very basic not really much taste and just a tad warm !!! When mentioned to the waitress it just got passed off. The desert wasn't worth eating it was a very small portion looked like the last little bit of cheesecake. Mothers day menu stated mothers main meal is free (we were 2 families) but apparently was only one per booking which was stated on fb and there website, we just booked by phone so hadn't seen that only went by the set menu that was given to us which had nothing stated it was only for one mum ! When asked if there was anything else other than that menu we were told yeah other side bits like "chips, cheesey chips, chips..." that was just chips hhmmmm. On paying there was no thank you offer of receipt or anything just walked off !!! I'm sure it's nice for some but sorry we certainly wouldn't book here again.

This place is amazing never seen such clean and nice smelling toilets for the gentleman. Also they got a jukebox and it’s absolutely free Lovely Deco, welcome and staff definitely recommend also they do food and I’ve got a pool table win-win

A nice community pub, visited for a private party in the conservatory, friendly staff, good selection of lagers and ales, sky sports and darts, good sized car park, takes card payment.

Decent pub, never tried the food, good atmosphere

Friendly atmosphere would recommend

We were ladies alone but treated respectfully, and even though there were lots of men, probably from football, having a pint or two, we weren't disturbed and having to pop along to the bathroom was uneventful and acted like gentlemen which was nice The food was alright, l suppose. The roast potatoes were really disappointing and not particularly nice nor roasted, or crunchy as rosties should be but the vegan desert (sticky toffee pudding) was really hard and microwaved to an inch of its life and the vegan custard lumpy and tasteless It's a shame, but l can not even remember what food we'd ordered as it was that uneventful even though it was a Sunday lunch . It's sad as it's got a good view and its own carpalrk Our server was really nice and patient and helpful

Went for Sunday lunch and overall not bad but customer service could be improved. Young staff that could do with some more training ie not asked if meal was ok and seemed to not have answers to anything asked Portions were on the small side but biggest disappointment was the roast potatoes they were hard and certainly not a potato suitable for roasting and just could not eat them, I also heard another table give same feedback. When pointed out to waitress collecting plates reply was I’ll tell him! Not offered a dessert menu at all or any further drinks so we just left, certainly missing out on revenue.

High prices and shockingly bad food. Will not be going there again!! £10 for a dry chicken sandwich & £8 for a ropey jacket potato. Abysmal

Went here yesterday with my daughter ordered wine and lemonade for my daughter and I had soda water and lime £11 that's like £4.50 for a soda water basically £4.50 for shot of lime terrible nice staff though

Great little pub, can cater for any event! Great staff, brilliant atmosphere, good range of beer/ale they also serve food.

Made very welcome will definitely go back there again.

Today was our dads wake. Pre booked buffet the food was shocking no serviettes but was told that we could use toilet paper!!!! No meet and greet on arrival and was asked to collect our own glasses to take back to the bar. Nothing was refreshed. The tea urn was not refreshed and dirty cups were not replenished. Nothing was overseen. In a nutshell would definitely not recommend ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️😣😣😣

Good traditional pub with a great food offering

Not a good experience. Did not serve food today.

One of my favourite local pubs, friendly staff well presented and clean perfect for a quiet drink

Never eaten there however it's a nice friendly pub with accommodating staff and they show most if not all sports events.

First time I'd seen Corona on draft, now I'm seeing it everywhere!

Great night,friendly staff and great jamming session band

Nice bar, good beer selection and function room you can hire

Great pub with music jam night once a month.

Quite nice, could be better eg. The prawns need to be fresh not hard and dry! But other than that it was good

Friendly staff great food and beer

Nice pub..food good but not exceptional...

Super friendly staff, we were well looked after. Food is average pub grub, service really good. The decor let's it down and really needs a makeover.

went with family for lunch their,everything cooked using frozen items,unfortunately our garlick mushrooms were still frozen in the middle. very poor food,will never go to eat their ever again.

Great place for ales and beer.... always a friendly service!!

Where to begin. The lads ordered "meat feast" pizzas. They were basically pepperoni pizzas with Sundays leftover chicken crumbs sprinkled over them. After a few slices each, they gave up. A fly landed on the plate and literally buzzed straight off. We said to the barman we'd give him £20 if he could eat 3 slices. He obviously declined our offer. In fairness we did have the best laugh ever about the food that was served up. So big thanks to the microwave operator. He made our night. Best laugh in ages. Proper belly laughs

Had a lovey Sunday roast at the pub today! Food was nice and so were the staff! Will be returning soon!

Very friendly, good atmosphere, shame they only have one Bitter on tap.

Some of the locals are unpleasant.

Been coming here for yrs but haven't been for a while,went this week and nothings changed still friendly and covid safe worth a visit

Friendly pub with generous portions. Varied menu with plenty of room inside. So if you're in the area you could do a lot worse than having lunch.

We live just a few minutes walk from the Sans Pareil and I have not been there in years, but on a spur of the moment we had lunch today. I could not fault it at all. The young lady who served us was AMAZING and the food was equally the same. I would recommend it without reservation -you are in for a culinary treat - hats off to the chef. Everything ready for Covid so don't let it stop you Our holiday was cancelled but it felt like we had a moment back Thank you Michelle and Laurence From up the road

Excellent food and table service. Good distancing measures. Lovely garden weather permitting to eat outside.

Friendly stsff , nice pub with beer garden .

Had lunch there today, my omelette was delicious and my partners ham egg and chips was also perfect, didn't have to wait long for our food and the staff are always friendly. Would always recommend, great food, lovely people.

Whilst the food was good the bar attendant was very moody he needs a little more people skills On a Tuesday at 2 with hardly any customers he was very grumpy and TOLD me not asked that my 5 year old grandson to sit down & not move. We were having a family meal if the policy is no children then they should have told us when we booked. I won’t be using them again 🤬

Very good with the covid 19 100%

Nothing fancy but it's ok to a swift Pint

Booked it for a family do. Staff were great, food was brilliant and really good value

Roast was lovely. Only slight (very slight) criticism was that I couldn't ascertain how the chicken was cooked. But cooked it was and tasted lovely. Homemade yorkshires to boot. Will return.

We have just had sunday lunch it was really nice, all courses were good and the beef was really tender.

A friendly pub with good staff and a good selection of beer and spirits

One word... "DISGUSTED".. booked a table for 12 people for this afternoon way back in October and when we turned up 'on time', the landlord said that we haven't got you booked down. I showed him the booking confirmation on my phone and all he said was, I never sent you this and I don't know what member of staff did. I had drove 2 hours from Norfolk to do a family pre Christmas meal for my family who live in medway and quite frankly, he couldn't give a toss. He said that we could wait, but he didn't know for sure if we would get a table even if we waited for a couple of hours. He didn't even offer a free drink as a way to say sorry as it was clearly their mistake, not mine, so we drank our drinks which was paid for and left. Will never use the place ever again and will tell all my friends and family not to use it either, as they still live in frindsbury.

Definitely worth a visit great staff lovely food

We had our christmas meal here this week, lovely food & very friendly staff, thanks & happy Christmas

We had Sunday lunch here for the first time on sunday and it was beautiful. Friendly staff and all home cooked food and reasonably priced. Superb! We will certainly be back! Many thanks

A group of 30 of us pre-booked at the Sans Pareil. We pre-booked the meals and asked for a 7.30 sitting. At 7.30 we were asked if everyone had arrived and when we confirmed that they all had, the meals started to come out and within a few minutes all 30 of us were enjoying a really decent meal together. The bar and waiting staff were very friendly and courteous, the food was very good, and everything worked to make a really pleasant atmosphere. I have no doubt that we will come back again to the Sans Pareil very soon. A decent meal at a good price in a nice location.

Ordered started and main. And for a children meal to come out with starters, 50 minutes later still nothing, another 10 minutes again still nothing, Then 5 minutes later everything at once Cold over cooked wrong stuff even bought out Poor service from staff. The young girl looked like she had no clue. And got the order wrong. Didn’t eat the food left. Still payed wasn’t even an apology I wouldn’t mind we was the only table in there and the first though the door Shame really as we had food in there 4 weeks before and it was amazing and beautiful and service was great But this day was like they didn’t care

Fabulous atmosphere and service. The food is even better! Definitely recommend

Nice little pub with typical pub grub

Nice pub, but disabled access limited.

Very friendly and welcoming! Just popped in for a drink as we will be moving locally soon and we were impressed with our first encounter 😊

Friendly and fantastic atmosphere

Family frienldiy pub with good menu

Love this pub. Such a friendly welcoming pub great staff. Great selection of drinks all the latest Gins. Very happy atmosphere and also very family orientated.

Cold beer .. hot food and a warm welcome .pleasant evening :)

Its on a main road and you could easily just drive past without a thought but locally it has a very good reputation. We went there for a group lunch (12) by prior booking. That was fine but they only had one chef lady who struggled when we all ordered different items from the menu. We should have thought of that and must take some blame. We could have pre-ordered our individual dishes and the kitchen would have coped much better - be fair. All dishes arrived eventually but at staggered intervals so our gang opted to eat away regardless. All plates were voted good quality and price. My own was a real surprise cos I ordered sweet and sour pork/rice. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was, nothing like a naff takeaway. All dishes were ca £5 Large dining room conservatory style, 50 covers? Im told sunday lunch is a sell out warning only small car park, street parking nearby great staff and hospitality Hidden gem

Great pub and landlords. Awesome as always

We went today for lunch to celebrate two 60th birthdays 🍰 Chris and Kim food was great lovely friendly bar staff nice to find good food at a good price pub is looking good some nice changes to garden and areas in pub pool table new furniture 👍👍👍👍

Decided to try here today as so glad we did. Had the best homemade pub food in a very long time and the size of the meals were very generous too. Strongly recommend chicken carbonara (hot to eat till the last mouthful) and steak and ale pie was excellent Definitely going back and soon. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌😁😁

Went for a drink with my husband and was disgusted had a drunk thug at the bar point at us swore at us and then started threaten us left very quickly

Lovely meal Happy father's day Thank you x

Delicious roasts, succulent meat & good service all at a very good price,

Friendly enough but lacks atmosphere and a bit dirty

Great Family feel pub. Great atmosphere

Haven’t been here for a few months but was pleasantly surprised. I had the chicken burger n chips. Unbelievably tasty. Two portions of chicken breast in a light batter served in a brioche bun. So tender & filling. Accompanying chips and salad also lovely. Definitely coming back really soon. A definable crowd pleaser.

What a great little pub! I visited the The Sans Pareil with my sister for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was hot and freshly cooked. We both had cheese omelette and chips which was perfectly cooked. We sat in the garden and soaked up the sun with music playing in the background. Perfect.

Went to this Pub on Friday Last and watched a Chap called Del do a UB 40 Tribute and he rocked the place all nighr.

Lovely pub! Landlord very welcoming x

Friendly staff clean toilets will be having food next time i go

Under new ownership ok needs to get more bar staff sometimes a little difficult to get served food great price

The food was lovely. Very good.service. and the staff.were.very polite and helpful.

It used to be great, disappointed with the food, service was great though

Food was great, good atmosphere and really friendly staff. Will be back again soon.

We visited the Sans Pareil for lunch on a weekday while staying with our family in Kent and noticed they had new owners. We had been there before on numerous occasions over the years when the old owners had it and had never been disappointed with anything. There seemed to be a limited menu this time but we made our choices and settled down with our drinks and waited for our food to be cooked. We overheard an elderly lady who was having lunch with her daughters and grandchildren complaining quite loudly to one of the waitresses that she had been waiting over half an hour for her food. Suddenly, a young man who clearly had an attitude problem appeared in front of the elderly lady and in no uncertain terms told her and her family that ‘all our food is fresh and cooked to order, we don’t serve none of that microwave rubbish here’. I thought this was very rude, totally unacceptable and unnecessary and felt sorry for the elderly lady, who looked quite startled at this outburst but gave as good as she got. I was a bit concerned at his comments as I had ordered sausages and mash and had an image in my head of someone running round trying to catch the pig! However, we didn’t have to wait very long for our food to be served and it was ok but nothing special. I noticed that the meals and drinks had increased in price since our last visit and my husband commented that his lager had gone up by 30p a pint. The Sans Pareil always used to be a family-friendly pub with plenty of traditional ‘pub grub’ meals on the menu and all at reasonable prices. However, it seems this is no longer the case - gone are the two-for-one specials! Although a bit disappointing this time, we will probably visit again the next time we are in Kent to see if anything has changed.

Very disappointed,went in for a sunday roast good portion size but meat wasn't from a joint more like processed and from a packet,had a small side dish of cauliflower cheese which bumped the price up to £12 for my roast.,you are better off going to a toby or Copperfields as the quality of the meat and vegetables is better and offers a wider selection and is cheaper

Great welcoming staff n landlord

Recently under new ownership, lovely friendly pub with great staff and tasty new menu. Roast dinners are huge! Good for watching all sports events and various evening live entertainment.

The food was like school dinners

The Sans Pareil is currently under new ownership and the little changes that they are making are big improvements! The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are so friendly and helpful, great place for sports fans to watch live games and the Sunday roast dinners are to die for! Have been told that a new food menu will be unveiled soon so will definitely be back.

Top class food & drink.Friendly staff.

A proper pub! Loud, tv on, darts. Workmen having a pint... however I wanted a quiet dinner. Food was okay for the money

Ok but looks very tired in side ,staff are friendly this,needs a good duster on the shelfs

Beautiful Christmas lunch for myself and other stroke victims..hugely enjoyed, may well come back next year 😀

Lovely evening thanks to the lovely manageress looking after us and moving our table to the conservatory cos of rowdy xmas crowd and getting our drinks for us 5 star service thanks

A bit rough and ready but fine for the ambience of locals. Apparently changing management in December 2018.
