The Beach Bar And Restaurant - Swale

Have been couple of times for the carvery. Staff have always been welcoming. As you would expect for a carvery it is help yourself to the veg. Each time veg selection has differed. They serve you plenty of meat. My only critism is I felt potatoes were under cooked and not hot enough. If you asked my husband they were as he likes them. Will continue to visit for Sunday lunch

After having enjoyed a Christmas meal at a nearby restaurant, we headed here to continue the festivities. Someone had informed us that an Elvis tribute act was taking place, and as all of us were fans, we headed down. All of us were in good spirits and were still relishing in the recent secret Santa exchange. Unfortunately, however, this was short-lived and ruined by just one individual. The Beach Bar was relatively dead, with a dozen or so people scattered around the pub. We were over by the pool table; having a drink, laughing, and all about to take part in a group game of killer. The pool table hadn’t provided us with all the balls, due to some getting lodged in the mechanism... as can sometimes happen. (Although, this was the second time it had happened). One of our group members gingerly lifted one edge of the table, to help ease the removal of said missing balls. After no luck, he gently lowered the table back down. Shortly after a random guy came storming in from outside. “What the **** hell do you boys think you’re doing?!”. An extreme overreaction. After having just flown off the handle, he then aggressively ranted on, stating that the floor was uneven and that a lot of time and money had been spent to ensure that the table was “perfectly level” and that lifting it would ruin everything, due to our lack of intelligence. After bellyaching at us to go and ask the landlady to sort it out, rather than taking matters into our own hands, he marched back outside and resumed smoking. Dire attitude. Bewildered and to be honest, extremely irritated by the interaction, I asked the barmaid if the landlady could come and remove the dislodged balls. Whilst waiting for her, my friend highlighted that one of the pool legs was stacked up on a wedge of beer coasters. Evidently, A LOT of hard work had gone into the levelling aspect. We ended up leaving shortly after, as everyone was aggravated by the way we’d been addressed. Nor did we want to spend any more of our hard-earned money, in an establishment that addresses customers in such a way. I can only assume the guy in question was the landlord. Possibly the landlady’s squeeze. Either way, his customer service was diabolical and extremely unprofessional.

Had a lovely meal at the Beach today. Staff were very helpful and the atmosphere was welcoming and calm. The range of meat for the carvery was as expected with a good vegetable choice overall standard of the food good. We will definitely go there again.

Lovely pub with extremely friendly, helpful staff. The food was plentiful and very good. Great vegan choices also and dog friendly. Would visit again.

I visited for the first time this Sunday. I fancied trying the Carvery out as it smelt and looked amazing. I noticed that all the tables had names and times of the reservations. So I asked Someone if I could still eat. I was very pleased with the response and I was found a table straight away. The food was excellent and the service was just as good. I paid less than £15 for a Carvery with 4 meats on my plate, stuffing . Yorkshire pud and as much veg and gravy sauces as you liked and a pint .After my lunch there was live music and roast potatoes on the bar which took me back to the good old days. I would highly recommend The Beach bar not just the food but how I was felt very welcomed and plan to eat here every Sunday and possibly in the week on a regular basis. Thankyou to all the Staff and see you soon.
