Food wasn't bad, perhaps the menu was very misleading on the triple burger, the size was rather small and of course it's great value regardless when compared to restaurants in the area. The service wasn't great, the floor staff on the day we visited were constantly running around, one staff member even bumped into us and did not stop to apologise as they knocked our condiments out of our hands. Service at the bar was good, although there were queues to be served. The atmosphere is fine, nothing special, make sure you go with good company.

Had a great experience this evening after a long day at the office. I observed Ethan working alone on the first floor of the pub regularly clearing tables and delivering exceptional service. They did a fantastic job and for me personally, made my evening enjoyable. An excellent staff member and very polite. Will definitely come back here to unwind.

What an untidy, cluttered pub this is. We popped in with the intention of having a drink and lunch.. my husband ordered an Abbots ale, it was cloudy and undrinkable. So he changed it for IPA which was much better. The tables were all cluttered with dirty plates, glasses and dishes from previous customers, tables were also dirty from previous customer's !!! Carpets were covered in remnants of food, there was just one table to eat at without dirty pots !!! I had intentions of eating here but after the looks of the place to say I was put off is an understatement. Will definitely not go back to this Witherspoons...

Got here and had my id, blonde lady in checkered shirt didn’t believe me and would not serve me and served my friends she also wouldn’t refund me for this drink. Treated me like I was 10 and told me I had to be out by nine, stayed for my food because I wouldn’t have got refunded for that either and it was awful very cold and rice was raw. Terrible service from this lady, others were okay but she really let this place down. Before this we even asked nicely if she could clean the table as was covered in dirty wet napkins and food but she never did nor did she have anyone else after saying yes. We expected as much but chanced coming here won’t make the same mistake again.

It's Cheap and you definitely get what you pay for.. Drinks are where I would give 5* stars to because it doesn't cost you a 💣 to get tipsy! I've had many great start of the nights to spending all night with friends and their definitely is some eye candy🍭 😅 My favourite place to drink is definitely in the garden booths because if your like me.. Because of All the entertainment from other punters 👀 but nothing that will spoil your night.. Just makes you invested in people's life stories.. 🙌 You meet so many people from all different walks of live and it's a very friendly place and the staff are sometimes grumpy but hey wouldn't you be, they are very understaffed at times and service can take a little longer than normal but like most places we all have our favourites! Also if you haven't taken a selfie while in the ladies long mirror and gone all the way up to the next "VIP" toilets.. Your missing out 😎🙌

Manager refused to deal with my issue after being presented with a side dish that was included on my main plate and so tiny it was like a the kitchen staff had been dared to do it. He wanted more money to rectify it and refused to give me his name when I asked for it, stating I could describe him on the complaints form instead. He was a child but had no self awareness and shouldn’t have been in a management position. Harry Potter specs, curly black hair and an attempt at a man’s stubble? I think? He was very forgettable? Kept saying, “My bad”. Jeez. Just get me a side of roasted veg that I paid for Harry and stop being so damn rude.

No tables were cleaned in that 2 hours, customers had to do it them selves with cloth and liquid supplied. The staff here have a total disregard for basic cleaning, removal of germs dirt etc leaving it a breeding ground for infections. I dont no how it stays open i would not return.

The last time that I ordered Mediterranean salad I complained to them that it omitted some key ingredients - kale and cherry tomatoes - which are in the app description. I ordered it again and it still omitted them. As per last time, instead the only salad ingredient was lettuce. Clearly they ignore any feedback they get and arrogantly carry on swindling their customers. They really are a dreadful company. Next time, I’m tempted to order sausage and chips but I fear it’ll probably omit the sausage!

This classic Edwardian building first opened its doors in 1902 as Chatham's new main post office. It was built for the General Post Office (GPO) by its Works Department under the direction of William Oldrieve. It is now named after Chatham-born naval officer and merchant seaman Thomas Waghorn, who was also a postal pioneer. Waghorn developed a new postal route for Great Britain to India. This new 6,000-mile land route replaced the 16,000-mile sea voyage, reducing the time taken from about three months to 35-40 days. These premises were refurbished by JD Witherspoon and opened in July 2016.

Really good pub meals. We had pizza which was surprisingly tasty with the additional toppings. Burgers were also nice and came with plenty of nicely cooked chips. Good selection of heinz sauces, not to mention the huge variety of non alcoholic beers and soft drinks. Was initially concerned that a pub venue in Chatham may not be place to take the kids out for a late lunch, but couldn't have been better. We opted for the bright first floor, but downstairs was also clean, and safe for kids. Our original server seemed a bit tired/bored but the rest were great. The total cost was very reasonable.

We went to this place early afternoon when it wasn't particularly busy. We ordered two burgers which came in 1 minute (!) and had nothing in it except a piece of meat, no salad, gurken, tomato etc. I remember old times when a burger was full of salad and very tasty. But getting a bun with a slice of meat is ridiculous, definitely not a burger. I understand there is inflation but I am willing to pay more and rather get the same quality. Removing ingredients is not the best solution. The building is nice, beer service was ok but very slow, even though it wasn't rush hour. Although food came too quickly, which was already a bad sign.

Loved this place and have been coming for over a decade, but new parking enforcement have made it impossible to visit. Got hit with a fine a couple of months ago because the team never told us we had to put our registration number in, despite going to the bar three times and ordering food. Subsequently got another fine as the parking company changed the maximum parking term from 5 hours to 1, without any notice. The parking company expressed that the changes were made after local running groups and other visitors took up parking spaces the pub wanted for their own customers. I can totally appreciate this, but the knock on effect to those of us who visit the other retailers is going to have adverse consequences - narrow minded.
