Certainly one of the better Pubs in the Gillingham area and best in Rainham…read more 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 all, it was just 2 minutes walk from our house. The Thai restaurant attached to the Pub was also pretty decent and a great place for a meal before a night of drinking. A little history of the building is that the building itself was built in the 14th century making it one of the oldest buildings in Rainham and during the building of the home next door a passageway was discovered that ran all the way from the cellar to the Church. It's also common knowledge with locals that it once was a coaching house. So if you're in the area looking for a decent place to drink The Green Lion is top of my recommendations. They also hold a late license on weekends (Friday and Saturday) where after 11pm the entrance is at the back of the building next to the beer garden.

I visited here on a late Sunday afternoon to meet some friends. Part of the interior is dated…read more(carpet in a pub?) but the seats were comfortable and there was more than enough room around the table for all of us. The food was nice, but not spectacular -- I was given a pale-looking baguette with a rather mediocre salad (although I'm not sure one leaf and a slice of cucumber counts). The chocolate fudge cake I had was fantastic, however, and I count myself as a good judge on those. The atmosphere was friendly, and it was in a good location, being near the station. The service was also good, and I would recommend their cocktails and mocktails.

Ate here once in the restaurant and food was good but kitchen staff etc seemed easily confused about bookings and service etc. I ordered a well done steak which was served medium the waitress told me if I wanted it cooked more to ask her and she will do it. Which to me seemed odd if I already asked for it well done. Apart from thsi a great little pub that is lovely also in the summer as it has a great garden. Well worth a visit for a beer.

This place is absolutely amazing. The location is beautiful,…read moreright on the river, especially on a beautiful summer's day watching the ships go by. The ambience in the pub itself is unique, very quirky, a great hit with my husband who is a big Star Wars fan! The food is good, sizeable pub grub, with a menu extensive enough to appease any fussy eaters or big appetites. Anything from fresh pies, steak, fish and chips, burgers you name it, they've probably got it. But the BIGGEST compliment to this place has to go towards the staff who made the entire experience brilliant they were funny, interested in where we'd come from and why we were there, made recommendations based on the menu and even changed the cheese on my husband's steak as he wasn't a fan of Stilton the waitor said he'd seen some Jalapeno cheddar in the kitchen if my husband would prefer that, and it went down a storm. What fabulous service. We didn't feel rushed, even though we left it an hour between mains and desserts and it was a packed Sunday lunchtime they let us take our time and the desserts were delicious. Only slight criticism is that, for how big the main meals were, I was extremely disappointed with the size of my dessert three mouthfuls and it was gone. Not worth 5/6 quid really. Would definitely come here again, what a hidden gem.

I've no idea why this place is currently rated as 1 star. The previous review from 5 years ago…read moreseems very generic with no details about the actual place at all. Very suspicious activity if you ask me. Anyway, this place isn't 1 star at all, more like 4 or 5, but I've given it 5 in order to balance out the ridiculous previous rating. We couldn't book a table in the restaurant area as it was fully booked but were informed that if we arrived close to opening that we would get a table. We got there bang on 12 and were lucky that we did as by half past the place was packed out, a reassuring sign. We shared starters between couples, all were very good and all under £5 - squid salad, baked camembert and nachos. All 6 of us had a beef roast which is well priced at £9.95 and comes with all of the trimmings, all cooked expertly. We had coffees and desserts and a few rounds of beers/soft drinks and the bill came to £23 a head which is great value. Above and beyond the quality of the food and the price though is the attentive and polite service. Outstanding. We retired into the pool room after the meal for a few games - they have a pool table, darts, quiz machines. The garden is also very nice. Top draw country pub.
