Would never enter this Pub again, staff and landlord very rude and unfriendly I think they are just happy having there odd 4 locals!!!!

The pub is currently under going a refurb which is estimated to last around 5-6 weeks, the pub is still open for business as usual, the kitchen is now open with a carvery and a all day menu avaiable.

Now open again, under new management. The new owners are planning to refurbish the kitchen and open a carvery in the new year, apparently. The animals and geese from the garden have now gone.

The Ship is now under new Management as will be opening soon
|
Abandon ship! Abandon ship!
As already reported, The Ship is no more.
Here was my fathers local, yet it has closed due to the owners bankruptcy. Here's hoping someone can raise it from the seabed.

Closed for business on Friday 31st October 2008. I hope somebody will take it over and make a go of it, but these are tough times for back street pubs.

As previously stated in another review. This pubs an "interesting place", though nothing else.
I've only been here once or twice and have no real desire to return. It all seemed a bit cramped, again, as stated in another review. I think the drink was a little pricey too.

Beer garden with a distant view of the Medway, a duck pond and two pets' corners. A cramped "restaurant" in a conservatory. Exposed beams and character fireplace complete with Christmas lights as substitute fire. Sofas and assorted chairs. Pool table. Inappropriate rock records complete with novelty swearing. Two standard cask ales and one guest. Interesting place, but it doesn't quite work for me.
