Mixed experience: parking is free plenty. Food quantity for large platters isn’t really large and overpriced for a pub. No non alcoholic drinks menu as well? Unfortunately, On weekdays like a Wednesday afternoon in June 2026, when they open at 12pm they have their corporate staff having brunch & lunch and they serve the staff first when open at 12pm before actual customers. The management staff are rude and jump queues over entitled and if challenged say" we work for the company " etc and of-course they get served first… the view and location is lovely and inside is beautiful too but on the hottest day in summer we had to ask multiple times for the air-con to be turned on with little ones and family that’s a big let down for first time customers. Apart from the place looking nice inside nothing really special about this place tbh that’s well worth coming back. You can go yourself and experience this unless they update their service based on this review…
Our first visit to this pub. The setting is odd as it is on a trading estate just by the Dartford bridge and yet by a wonderful lake. A nice setting. Just an unusual location. The service was good. There are two pieces that need to improve; 1. The main meals took over 30 minutes to arrive and 2. When we tried to order desserts, some weren’t there but the waitress only told us after we tried to order each one. The car park is confusing because there are signs to enter your car registration, yet you don’t need to, according to the waitress. My roast beef was very good and the pigs in blankets were delicious.
Lovely Afternoon at the Wharf, food was great and the service was brilliant, they were all very friendly and attentive, however!!! very upset to hear that the tips go straight to management!! I believe that this is illegal according to the tipping act of 2023! therefore, this needs to be revised asap as the staff on minimal wage deserve the tips that they earnt!
The food was nice, and the setting was lovely. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the extremely long wait for drinks, which did affect the flow of the evening a little. Overall, a nice place.
Great atmosphere. Wasn’t as packed as thought it would be on Easter Sunday. Josie is great. So attentive and caring. Always a step ahead and anticipating what you may want. The whole staff is great. The only downside is that my meal was "smothered" in gravy. Still tasted nice 😉.
Great pub you'd never know was there. The food is good and the service is even better. Sau was fantastic, thanks for the great service you gave to our family on our lunchtime visit.
What a gorgeous spot! We stumbled across this by accident but it’s by far the nicest pub in the area. The food was delicious, way better than typical pub grub, and I could not get over how beautiful the views are. Completely unexpected in amongst so many office buildings.
