I often eat and drink here with my friends, and we always receive a really warm welcome from the staff, particularly Nettie. The food is tasty and good value for money, and always a good atmosphere. Wednesday night quiz nights are good fun, and I also love live music nights.

Brilliant pub, we eat here often, food is extremely tasty and great value. Would definitely recommend to eat here, we often wait around 30 minutes for food sometimes comes quicker than expected, but haven't got a bad thing to say about the spyglass and kettle.

We went there on Sunday 6th October and we were absolutely disappointed with the food it was well overcooked and out of 6 of us only 1 person ate it due to being hungry all it was dry and hard we left saying we would never go back

Poor on everything except the beer.. Cleaned my plate the 15 chips etc because we were hungry , left pub still hungry. went home and raided the fridge. This was one we wish we had avoided , the cost/portion size we were ripped off . Don't worry owners we won't be back you lifted more than enough of our money.

Came here for lunch and meet up with in-laws, we booked an earlier table, we arrived and went to bar, lent on it and when I pulled my forearms away I thought I was going to tear my skin away the surface was that sticky, the barmaid who gave the impression she didn’t want to be there got our wine bottle order wrong twice claiming all she heard was “pinot Grigio “ not piñon Grigio rose” , what twice!? Went to table and for god’s sake also sticky, I don’t know what they use to clean but it must be a mixture of water and glue, no surface, if cleaned properly should leave a sticky residue, it’s not difficult! I have to say that for the price point the food was fine, service needs a lot of attention. The exterior of the premises needs an overhaul , rotten and unpainted windows just show a shoddy service and lack of care, in the days where it’s difficult running a public house you should, at the very least make it look attractive to potential new customers, but no it was a we don’t care attitude, and get some staff who actually want to work and please customers, not look at you as if you are asking for too much, it’s a drink and food, not exactly difficult, but it clearly was for the bar staff Will not be going back unless I have to to meet the in-laws Sort it out please

Understandably busy for a Saturday night, plus there was another band in the other bar, staff ensured all punters were served in a timely manner. Can only sincerely thank Kyia and Cameron. You were both brilliant. We had ordered food to come out at a specific time, and the chef, Ryan, ensured it all happened as planned. It was a very busy evening for the team, but they were all superb. We can't fault the evening. Absolute Stars!. All of them. Thank you all for making our evening special.

Decent if you just want a quiet pint with your friends however the customer service is far from good. It’s almost like it’s a chore to be served, once you are served it is fine. PS - I saw a rat behind the kitchen while i was in the pub garden.

Local and friendly pub. The staff are welcoming and there are lots of well-organised events taking place during the week and at different times of the year. The kitchen puts out some very tasty food and the bar is always well stocked with favourites. Televisions are conveniently situated for viewing major sports tournaments and there is a real family and friends atmosphere. Would rate this as one of the best GK pubs in Medway and more low key and personalised rather than Cricketers Rainham. The bar staff always make you feel very welcome and have time for conversation and get drinks orders right.

Lately every time we come for Wednesday quiz night there is a huge delay in food, tonight being 1.5hrs. Nobody told us there was a wait on food until we asked 45 mins after ordering. Staff don’t seem fussed and are quite rude. After this happening for the 5th time I don’t think I will bother coming again sadly as it seems to have gone really downhill. They say they are understaffed but when the pub is less than half empty and there are four employees on front house this shocks me. Management need a big re-think and to get a lot of improvements done, especially when food has just about been edible lately and with children’s orders coming out with about 5 chips on the plate which is disappointing.

We came in for lunch on a Monday afternoon. It was very quiet. We ordered food through the app, and drinks at the bar as some were not included in the app menu. When we approached the bar to ask a question about the menu, two members of staff blankly walked away when being approached. After waiting for around 30 mins we asked for an update on our food twice. When it arrived after 45 mins we were only then told there was a delay on all food being served, but no real explanation or apology was given. The food was mostly edible, but wouldn’t say it was enjoyable at all. It obviously was reheated, but still had time for some elements to go cold again. While I understand there was a known delay, the overall attitude and approach from all of the staff we encountered was disappointing. They didn’t seem interested, and were un phased by the low quality of their food and their service today. If I ever visit again, I very much hope for a vast improvement on todays’ experience, as the beautiful setting offers so much potential for a nice afternoon.

This pub is situated in Wigmore near Rainham, Kent. It has a large car park with spaces for wheelchair users and good access. Inside there are two defined areas, one for dining and the other for mostly drinkers. There are TVs situated throughout showing sports but this is not intrusive. There is a good range of drinks and some very competitive prices in cocktails and shots. Food wise, there are various menus including one for kids and a special seniors menu where you can get a two course meal for just £5.49. On the main menu there is also a section of "pub classics" where you can get 2 meals for £11.49. There is a similar offer on their Sunday roast. The pub has a nice vibe, friendly etc. The lady behind the bar was friendly,lively and had a good rapport with everyone. They really needed someone to help her as she was run off her feet. Our food came up in good time and was hot and well cooked. We were checked upon so they knew when we were ready for our next course. All in all a pleasant experience and I would be happy to go back.

She brought a pot over once she had managed to wash up! The drinks were very good with a fantastic choice. The food was excellent and very reasonable The area we was in was cold but the manager gave us an electric heater. The radiator was disconnected. Greene king need to rectify this.

This weekend there was a live band, after seeing the Facebook post, I wasn't too bothered, but boy was I wrong. They were fantastic, the atmosphere was electric.

There are two Costa Coffees at Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre (one inside and one outside). This is a review of the one outside as it was the first one we saw after parking the car. It it a light, airy establishment with friendly, helpful staff. There is seating both inside and outside and the tables were cleared as soon as the customers had left. The usual Costa drinks and snacks were available and our coffee was up to the usual good Costa standard.
