The best restaurants serving British food in Gravesham South East

placed an order and then had to wait while 4 other people, 1 uber and 1 just eat driver ordered after me but got their food before me. cod and chips not bad but being ignored after i placed an order and paid is very bad! and no card payments either!

Sometimes you can walk into a pub or club for the first time, or even as a regular, and be met with miserable or even rude staff and those that are wrapped up in their own self-importance - but not here in The Rum Puncheon. I came in here today on recommendation from a friend called Simon who is a fire chief at Eltham. Sat for almost an hour talking with a lovely young lady behind the bar called Tess. What a credit to The Rum Puncheon she is, though she is leaving this Sunday. I'm sure she will be missed. There were two Ales on tap from Horsham's Dark Star, those being Hophead and Orbiter. I only had the hophead which was nice. With the explosion of Micro Pubs and tap Rooms though, I would like to see perhaps one or two locally produced Ales such as from Iron Pier who even brew a Pale Ale called West Street - ironic as that is where The Rum Puncheon is. That said, the two ales available here are two more than some places have that stick to their same ol same ol monotonous regular ale. I'll definitely be back base don conversation alone.

Fantastic food, great service & amazing area for events. The staff were amazing & nothing seemed too much to ensure we had a very special afternoon. Our buffet was brilliant. I had eaten lunch here before on a few occasions and really enjoyed the atmosphere & food

Super friendly staff, delicious carvery and drinks bought to table. Admittedly we visited when it was quiet but having visited 2 days earlier during rush hour staff were equally as attentive. Huge portions of a lovely Roast and as much meat selection as required. Haven’t visited in years but good value for money , nice food and great service
