The 20 Best Pubs in Gillingham, Medway

Fresh reviews:

A distinctive and welcoming one bar local pub with a good selection of beers and wine. It has a really attractive, comfortable courtyard garden with loads of tables and inside, a pool table and dartboard. A really individual pub with character unlike the depressingly bland chains which have sprung up…

The Scruffy Duck

Certainly one of the better Pubs in the Gillingham area and best in Rainham.This used to be the Pub of choice when we were living in the area and going out with friends, although not being big drinkers that didn’t happen too often.It’s a good size, the staff were friendly (a rare thing in Rainham!) and best of…

Keep items in stock and if that fails at least tell people before they order so there’s no nasty surprises when half their meal is missing.For some…

The Star

Came here for Boxing Day drinks with the family. You’d think that living in Kent, the home of Shepherd Neame, they’d have a decent array of pubs on offer. Sadly not. My parents live in Medway and, unless they are prepared to travel (which would involve driving, defeating the point of going to a pub), they are…
