The Golden Lion - Gravesham

Great boozer. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Proper pub. Proper beer. dogd and chit-chat. lovely.

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch at the charming Kent Public House. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere was fantastic, with other patrons seeming to have a great time celebrating Father's Day. We will definitely be returning to try out the weekly menu and sample the selection of ales. My partner's father even wants to come back just to play darts.

I had high expectations for a nice Sunday roast, as it had been recommended to me. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to receive small, burnt frozen potatoes and partially cooked frozen vegetables. The gravy and Yorkshire pudding were the best part of the meal.

My family and I visited this restaurant over the weekend and had a wonderful time. The interior was warm and cozy, and the food was delicious with generous portions. The drinks were also very enjoyable.

A friendly pub let down a little by at least one the patrons who just likes to use the F and C words a lot as he shouts to his friends. The owners didn’t seem to mind so it’s probably normal. The chicken in the roast was lovely but the very dark brown gravy showed it had been stewing a while as had all the vegetables. Same with the pork except the pork was tough and chewy. If you like your roast spuds really well done, as we do, you will like them.
