    Hmm. I’m torn here with my review because it’s mainly based on the curry house in the back garden! Yes it’s in the back garden! The pub itself is lovely with decent beer and friendly atmosphere once you’ve settled in after a few minutes. When you first enter it’s like you’ve just walked into a classic western saloon when everyone stops what they’re doing and looks at the stranger as you walk in the door, tumble weed rolling and the classic Clint Eastwood incidental music as you proceed to enter! All in good spirits of course as they realise you are a guest of a regular. The local clientele soon begin to relax and soon start chatting again and return to looking at the large tv or return to staring incessantly at their drinks! Yes it’s a local pub with locals that know everything about each other, I wouldn’t say village of the damned but it has a hint of the children of the corn about the place. Once you settle in then you too will be welcomed by these friendly lovely and colourful village folk. Then there’s the somewhat bizarre curry house out the back! Has to be seen to be believed. Once you get into this posh curry shed you will be welcomed by nice friendly staff, it’s a pleasant space to be in as well, it’s small but nice. However, the food was so subpar and bland I’d recommend you went elsewhere. Nice pub, nice curry house if your not a curry connoisseur and nice pub garden. But like I say it’s a bit of a wicker man vibe in here and not as inviting as it could be to non locals. Mind you having said all that they did make me feel at home after a while. Worth a visit.

    Hadn't been in the Medway for a few years it has been refurbished to a very high standard but it was still very much the same pub I new as a kid. The food looked and smelt wonderful, the bar staff do a very good job and are pleasant good night out

    This is a fabulous little restaurant. Took my partner and my daughter for a treat and very glad they chose here to eat as it was mouth wateringly good.

    Just managed to get a seat for 2 for Sunday lunch as we were passing. Very friendly staff, even though they were fully booked, they managed to find a seat for 2. Didn't have long to wait for the food roast lamb and roast pork food was good temperature to eat, it was fresh and tasty and a good portion. Definitely be back, but I will book especially for a Sunday. The bonus was early bird before one you get 25% off and if you become a member you get money of in the week

    A village pub with very friendly staff and great value for money food. I took my 87 year old mum here to meet friends. A nice rustic feel to it and comfortable seating for the two hours that we spent there. Mum always has a kid's meal now (!) but they didn't have her choice available. So a special alternative was suggested and made up for her and she was more than happy. Result! 😁 I can think of many eating places that would not be so accommodating. Have already recommended The Medway Inn to my niece who works a short distance away. Would definitely eat here again.

    As always the food and service at the Medway inn exceed expectations. If you are looking for good Indian food at reasonable prices, this is the place to go.

    Found this gem of a pub after a day’s hiking on the North Downs Way. Wasn’t expecting much on a Monday, but found a modern, beautifully decorated pub filled with locals, and with a great menu. Superb.

    The Medway is our local pub and the service, food and atmosphere is second to none. Even if we weren’t local we would travel there to experience the amazing welcome and hospitality ❤️

  • 1/5 lee f. 1 year ago on Google
    Son worked a trial shift and was told they would call him and let him know reference job and when he could come down to collect his wages for the shift. After several phone calls and promises to call back reference job and wages nothing no phone call or email as explained. Why offer paid trial shifts if you are not going to pay, my son even stayed a further 20 minutes after his six hour shift to help out as they suddenly got busy !!!!! Please get your facts straight : no emails received only the first couple for interview . Secondly if you left the money for him two weeks ago that was before his shift? Thirdly he wasn't given a starter form so you may need to educate your staff correctly. Fourthly he didn't know I had written this. And lastly just wanted to let people know how you run things and he said keep the money give to a charity anyone. A phone call would of been nice.
