The Three Daws in Gravesham

Really enjoyed visiting the 3 Daws , good beer, great food & excellent service, wii definitely going back , very friendly & welcoming.

Just a regular halfway house meet venue for a catch up with a mate over a pint or two. Excellent selection of ales on the hand pump and likewise lagers and ciders. Haven't eaten there but food does look good and a nice seating area to dine, but for me it's sitting outside watching the river traffic go by. Staff are always friendly as are the local regulars. Highly recommend a visit if in Gravesend.

Great party space below the main pub. Private bar, dance floor and toilets.

Had a pint of Jake the snake a lovely golden ale

Recently visited for a family get together, 16 of us. We booked by telephone within a week before and when we got there we basically had a little function room to ourselves. We ordered drinks which were a little slow to come out, when arrived the waiter managed to spill some down my daughter’s back. I ignored this as he looked young and inexperienced. Food was pre ordered a couple of days before , I had burger and chips with salad. Most of the food came out pretty much together except one which eventually came out as I was nearly finished. The burger was ok a little dry but that’s just my preference. Desert was lovely I only had the sorbet trio. A lovely pub very busy and reasonably priced. I’d visit again but as a smaller party to see if it was the sheer numbers they struggled with. I might add this was a Sunday lunchtime and was quite busy.

Another nice and old public house by the River Thames on the Kent side.👨‍🍳

Amazing food, great price, and all the staff are absolutely fantastic... waitressses and waiters attentive with excellent knowledge on their food & drinks.. which actually makes it.. and obviously big shout out to the chefs for producing amazing food 😋 There is nothing worse than going to a restaurant, and waiters and waitresses don't know their product.. but not in the Three Daws!! Top team top restaurant 👌

Lovely pies, great cask ale, lovely vibe and river views.

Excellent little pub overlooking the water. Great service with a great selection of beers and ales. Sunday roast was very good at a reasonable price! Will definitely be back to try more from the menu.

Evening Visit. We had seen this pub after a river boat trip and decided to try it. This split-level pub has a number of cosy spaces for patrons to sit. Downstairs is a bar with fewer seats, which is used as a live music venue. There are toilets on both levels. There is also outside seating and good views of the river. We decided to eat, and my partner had a prawn cocktail, which was fine. I decided to try the cockles and bacon on toast . It sounds like a good idea, but it didn't work. The bacon was like pancetta, and the cockles could have been cooked in the bacon fat, fine . Instead, a rather overpowering garlic butter was poured over, and the toast was lying in it. It was also very salty. I managed to finish, but it was not easy to do. For a main , I decided on Tuna Nicoise, another disaster. The salad was just OK. The olives had pits, the eggs which were described as runny on the menu , were cold and hardboiled, and it seemed like the salad and eggs had been prepared much earlier as they were chilled. the tuna was supposed to be seared. It wasn't. It was overcooked and lukewarm. Overall, it was an unpleasant and unappetising plate of food. My partner had a roast. He ate most of it, but it looked unappealing to me. He left some, and I left most of mine.. There was an error over the bill at the bar, their fault . It was corrected. Pleasant staff and decent bar, but I wouldn't eat here again..

Great pub. Good food, good beer, good staff.

Several times over last few years, Myself and husband travel by train from south east London to Gravesend to board Waverly paddle steamer, and each time visit 3 Daws always pre book dinner before sailing, everything about previous visits perfect,this time Sunday 6 October 2024, greeting was as previous visits, friendly, shown to our table, our drinks came up fast, then a wait for our starter order to be taking, we finished starters, waited patiently for server to return to our table and we-ask could we have our main, she replied are you ready for your mains we replied yes, we were then left waiting nearly 50 minutes, frustrating watching same server being attentive to other tables nearby who came in after us, and didnt wait long for their orders, eventually I went to the bar to check our order as waiting 50 mins and mentioned other tables not waiting as long, staff did apologise just as our order was being delivered, after we finished we ask for the bill, server bought to us said we had to pay at the bar, then we noticed same server took other diners payment to their tables, I went to the bar to pay the bill , I can’t fault bar service , female staff ask was everything alright, she appeared look embarrassed when I said was ok, I didn’t leave a tip and this is something I almost never do , I will add the sausage and mash was lovely, I will visit again 3 Daws again, however this visit was a disappointment

Lovely old pub with fascinating history. Great food & views across the Thames. Highly recommend. Try the club sandwich! 😋🙏😀

Booked here having read got reviews but was rather disappointed. The staff were very friendly and attentive but the majority of the food, although reasonably priced was decidedly average. Most disappointing was the roast. There was plenty of meat, but the roast potatoes were very hard to cut into and the vegetables generally were not very appealing either in presentation and taste. The Yorkshire pudding wasn't homemade. The calves liver was however tasty as was the gypsy tart

Really lovely Sunday roast. The staff managed to find a table for us even though we hadn't booked (thanks). Great range of real ales which my husband enjoyed.

It's good pub grub. There's lots to choose from and plenty of it. Good prices and lovely old pub with lots of history. Friendly helpful staff.

I'm giving four for the food because my beans were cold, but apart from that, it was ok. It's good pub grub and plenty of it. Lovely old pub with a nice relaxed atmosphere and lovely friendly staff. Lots of choice on the menu and their pies are homemade, I believe they looked really good. My friend really enjoyed his steak pie.👍 The calves' liver and mash and mushroom omelet were also very good.

Just had a brilliant succulent chicken and mushroom pie. It was ginormous and very tasty The pints were just as good. I couldn't finish my meal. The spuds roasted and crunchy. A must place to go to for food and a very good atmosphere. Shame, I am here only for a night. Thank you. Sid.

Wonderful place right by the river, excellent menu selection which was noted right away and lovely quick service, delicious food. Indoor and outdoor seating area, all very clean and well presented, will certainly come back again, recommended to all! ☆☆☆☆☆

Great pub, lovely food and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back and try the schnitzel. Great views of the Thames and lots of entertainment

Attended an anniversary celebration here. It was beautifully presented. We received a warm welcome. We had the buffet selection which was good.

Again lovely lunch, friendly staff, good selection of choices and food very good. Car park nearby, lovely views of the river.

The staff at Three Daws were friendly, bar staff had a great sense of humour. By any account to food was nothing to shout about. Affordable prices for the average family. Reasonable food served. Cost bar/restaurant dining areas. Outdoor areas offer a veranda and paved seating area overlooking Thames and Tilbury Fort.

Great food and a great view of the River thames

had a lovely meal on Thursday with good friends highly recommended the food was fantastic and service superb!!

Nice pub right on the river, friendly bar staff and good food.

Friendly staff. Decent beers. The best view in a pub in Gravesend. This traditional pub is a step back in time and has a nautical theme fitting with it's surroundings and Gravesend's rich history. A Spanish galleon was moored outside at the time of the visit.

Lovely pub good character very nice food nice garden too good prices

Beer was great! But I didn’t like the food. Sorry! Location 100/10 🙌 Perfect place to have a beer and enjoy the view. But I will not recommend this place for food. We ordered baked potatoes and they did not taste good.

Large pub with well kept beer. The food looks good but we didn't eat there. The pub even has a bar billards table

Lived in gravesend all my life and have never been here before, my mistake. Went today (sunday) with my wife, son and his girlfriend. Lovely table and view overlooking river. Food and service excellent and very reasonable prices. Will be going back. Loved it, thank you. Len.

A really old traditional pub with a quirky layout. There's outside seating by the river. The food was excellent and the service was friendly. Parking is available a short walk away.

Most expensive Aperol spritz ever @ £11 total rip off . And they didn't make it properly bar maid didn't have clue !!!!! Who puts Lemon slices in it should have been Orange slices 😠😠 Also Inches Cider is £1 cheaper at the Clarenden hotel . Ps won't be returning for sure .

Really nice oldy worldy pub inside. Weather was nice so sat outside , there is lots of outside seating . In nice weather this is a gem of a place overlooking the Thames. Food was of good standard and staff were there but not overbearing. Would definitely visit here again

A good location and friendly staff.

Very tasty, nice, somewhat shabby restaurant. Nice service. The food is really good.

Brilliant menu had a few unusual meals , I had liver and bacon which was delicious

Food was amazing, fairly prices for size and quality. Nice atmosphere and polite staff and guests. Recommend all day long..

This is a wonderful pub with a very warm welcome. We reserved a table for a small family gathering after a funeral service and when we arrived we were really pleased to be shown to our table in a delightful private area with riverside views. The service and food was excellent, thank you to The Three Daws, we would highly recommend this inn for any occasion.

Lovely place staff are Great i love my weekly visits to bingo

Didnt eat here.only drunk 1 pint.which was great.

Nice places with a good atmosphere. Good food and drinks. Nice terrace

Cracking pub. Very nice atmosphere great service friendly staff.

The food is good. Big portion size. Nice view over the estuary to Tilbury.

First visit here and all staff made us feel welcome. Three nice meals... big portions, so make sure you are hungry first!! Interesting pub and great views of Thames. 👍

Great pub, lovely views and nice food. Only thing is that with the ferry cancelled out, due to ongoing money issues, you cannot get to it from Tilbury without driving across the bridge. Real shame as this was a lovely day out for myself and my friends

Family from abroad & home went for a meal here. Food Serbice & atmosphere very good

We had a lovely and very tasty lunch. Portions are generous, even with opting for a small serving. Chips were lovely and crisp, and their homemade salad dressing one of the best I have had. Staff are attentive and friendly. Cost is very reasonable, could not fault anything. Definitely will be back.

Had a very nice meal here and they also do small meals .

Unbelievably amazing! Lovely indoor seating and lovely outdoor seating overlooking the river! The food was honestly unreal bacon and cockles for my husband a kids prawn cocktail and an adults one along with a 16oz steak bbq ribs and sausage and mash for the little one! Brilliant price! Not to mention the beer was good too! Staff were very friendly and polite and amazing with my little one at the end bringing her out a massive ice cream! Truly could praise this place enough! 10000% recommend and will be coming back again

Absolutely beautiful venue, we had a wake in there, the staff were brilliant kind and professional, the food smelt and looked amazing and the buffet for the wake was so good? Absolutely beautiful place will definitely visit again when I’m next in gravesend

Didn't eat. Had a decent pint. Lovely old pub by the river.

Lovely Sunday lunch lovely view well priced .

Nice welcoming from the staff, had the large Sunday lunch ,very tasty and hot of fresh food. Great options on menu and the restaurant is very well presented. It's a place to put on your visit schedule.

Popped in for lunch while visiting Gravesend shopping/sights ! Attentive service and both food and drinks appeared quickly. Plenty of choice on menu although we both went for something simple. Very impressed and beer was good too. Recommended

Great Real Ale Pub and restaurant

An amazing place with a lovely atmosphere. To go there in the evening and sit by the pier with the lovely views of the Thames River. It is just fantastic.

Great meal good quality food clean restaurant and staff were very helpful and friendly. Also very well priced with plenty of different dishes to choose from. 👌

Great old pub. Fantastic views nice food and very good staff. Guises from Somerset

Nice meal friendly staff went in pub on the off chance and was pleasantly surprised.

Cane for a quick drink very good location

The roast was awful but the rest of the food was good. Very characterful venue.

Thea food is basic processed and fried no fresh vegetables, bland and not tasty and even when you tell staff they make no comment or give any discount .

They said had to change my order 2 times wanted ham egg fish then I had to eat fish chips and dessert menu was bad I would not eat here every again 1 star the service is rubbish

We came here for the history. If the food quality level up a bit, it will be a fantastic pub 🍻 experience.

Interesting range of unusual ales and a good "pub grub" menu.

At a function with family, nice place to have a social event.

Been here few times with our mum . Food was really lovely ..so we as my mums family came here to celebrate mothers day for our mum ..who sadly passed away in December 23 ...we recieved our starters of prawn cocktail..just a few prawns hardly any sauce .the roll was so stale you couldn't even cut it ..waited 1 hour & 45 mins for our main to come out ..the 4 potato's were so dry & powdery .the veg was hardly any ..must say the roast beef was lovely. Frozen Yorkshire pudding ..wasn't nice at all .wasn't worth the wait .desserts the gateau was so small .so we wasn't happy that we came to celebrate for our mum life & ended up very deflated ..wont rush back that's for sure .

Good traditional pub and food, lovely building and on a nice day can sit outside enjoying the river view.

Booked a table for mother's day 230pm ordered and waited an hour and 30mins just to be told it was not ready yet and they could not give us a time ruined mother's day will not be returning

Have been visiting the historic Three Daws establishment for years. Centre of the community and one of the go to places in the area for a decent standard of cuisine at a very competitive price point and wide range of regularly rotated guest ales, IPA’s etc. Recommend this friendly and accommodating pub to all! Especially on a warm evening when you can sit on the terrace overlooking the River with a cold beverage 😊

Been here a few times for lunch. While it's not the most amazing food ever, it's still good and I don't feel ripped off. The staff are always lovely and the bar is pretty good. Careful of the wonky floors if you've had a few drinks!

Absolutely terrific pub! Great character, interesting pints on tap, fresh cooked food & varied menu, lovely friendly bubbly staff!

This is such a great pub. Really helpful and friendly service. Good food, freshly cooked and reasonably priced. Always make a point of coming here when we're in the area.

Had lunch today with family,the service was excellent as was the food.The portions are huge,so I couldn’t even think about ordering the gypsy tart !!! I will save that for next time,we will visit again soon as my family are not from Kent and have heard of let alone tried gypsy tart.

Amazingly not dog friendly.Despite facility to have separated area.Thought pub trade in crisis.Ill support elsewhere.

Visited this pub for the first time, as it is featured in a book I have called Kent Smugglers' Pubs. It's right by the river and the pier where there is a ferry boat to Tilbury, but it doesn't run Sundays. We enjoyed Sunday Roast, and was pleased to see they have a vegetarian option of nut roast which was very tasty. There are also quite a few vegan meals available. My husband had the mixed roast which has a bit of lamb, beef and chicken, he went for the standard size, I had the small option. This is a lovely old pub with plenty of character including wonky floors, and serves delicious food. They have quite a few ales which pleased my husband. We didn't get round to trying the puddings but plan to visit again to have the gipsy tart, vegan key lime pie or crumble. The Saxon Shore Way starts in Gravesend so this is a handy place to eat before you start. The England Coast Path also goes along here, and there is another walk shown on a large board nearby. No smugglers' tunnels are available to see, but there might be historical guided tours of the town and riverside, I need to contact the Visitor Information Centre. We parked in a local council carpark which is free on Sundays.

Brad and the team at the Three Daws Pub in Gravesend are nothing short of exceptional! His commitment to providing top-notch service and creating a welcoming atmosphere truly sets him apart. With a warm smile and a genuine passion for ensuring guests have a memorable experience, Brad goes above and beyond. His enthusiasm and professionalism make every visit to the Three Daws Pub a delight. Cheers to Brad and the team for making the pub an absolute gem!

Lovely 15 century building/pub. Great food and drink in a lovely atmosphere.

One of best and certainly oldest pubs in gravesend for food and or drinks

A huge thanks to Danny and his lovely sister for their time, patience and buffet. We held our mother's wake in the function room at the three Daws. The finger buffet was as ordered and very nice too. Including the fish fingers. Danny and Stephanie (?) Worked their magic behind the bar and looked after everyone beautifully. Danny, we salute you :-)

We have Just had our first Sunday lunch hear and what can I say.wow lovely food great staff and a great atmosphere.

Good choice of beer and good food You need to book a table.

Bella e tradizionale gelateria. Tutto fresco, frutta e uova locali latte di produzione propria. Qui il gusto del gelato ricorda il territorio e la stagionalità. Oltre ad aver contribuito alla storia della gelateria del ponente ligure. Gestisce l'azienda agricola Passo del bosco.

Best Sunday lunch out to date. Well done The 3 Daws. Plentiful. Hot. Lots of it. £13.50 for any roast. Winning combo done so very well

A Stop off after a night's cycling with Gravesend CTC. Good selections of beers and wines. Great staff good atmosphere

Poor effort to be honest. The waitress did her best but my daughter's food came out well after most of us had finished their food and her food wasn't a great quality. Not somewhere I'd rush back to tbh.

What can I say? Fantastic pub, fantastic location, fantastic history. Come and see for your self (leave the car at home...) Now, let's.whoooh a bit. During the holiday season, be prepared to wait to see if there is space.

Delicious lunch with fabulous service. A group of 5 with no reservation were accommodated without fuss.

Lovely pub with a fantastic atmosphere and staff really friendly

The Three Daws is the embodiment of a traditional English riverside/smugglers pub. With a history stretching back for roughly 600 years there can genuinely by very few places in the world that can provide a similar experience. With a pleasant selection of beers and ales and friendly staff it is a lovely place to spend an evening.

Saturday 16th December 2023 This pub was visited tonight This pub had 4 great real ales on and the ambulance inside. This pub was great Easy going well staffed locals pub with ample room to sit and drink beautifully kept real ale in

Used to eat here for special occasions, Christmas, birthdays etc. and were always very happy with the service and food. Over the last couple of years the food and service has been in decline. Recently we booked for Christmas dinner but a family issue meant we had to cancel. I gave Three Daws a week's notice but they would not refund my deposit - company policy. Our company policy is never to revisit pubs/restaurants that offer poor food and service.

At the Three Daws for a wake. Quiet, good spread, didn't get the chance to visit upstairs.

What a team!!! The Three Daws have the most attentive staff who cannot do enough for you. Many of my party guests had not visited before but understand now why we love this venue. I am so glad I chosen to celebrate my special birthday here

We missed our ferry back to tilbury by seconds literally watching it pull away from the pier . So first thought is we’ve got half an hour till the next one and the nearest pub is this . So a quick beer was had in very pleasant surroundings in an old timber beamed pub steeped in history with quirky staircases lots of different floor levels and Thames views . What’s not to like ? And a bar billiards table ! A person fifty plus would remember seeing a bar billiards table in a pub occasionally, but personally I haven’t seen one this century! Or less dramatic , for twenty five years ! Anyway what seemed like a time wasting pint turned into a pleasant experience. Thanks to all at the daws hotel

Another great pub Mahou lager as expected No food ordered

We went to this pub twice on a recent visit to Gravesend. Nice pub with great history on the walls. We had a lovely meal as well. Lamb Cutlets were superb. Right by the Thames with great views.

Attentive staff and great food. Lovely.
