The Copperfield Pub in Chatham

About This Pub

Ah, The Copperfield, it's one of those places that just feels like a reliable go-to for a bite in Gravesend – you know, the kind where you can swing by for a hearty carvery or a fresh pizza without breaking the bank. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food's a real winner; folks rave about the Sunday roasts and those stone-baked pizzas made with fresh dough, and with deals like 50% off burgers or two for £14 on cocktails, it's easy to see why it's a favourite. The staff sound like absolute gems too, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after, which really makes the atmosphere feel warm and inviting – perfect for catching up with mates or even a family outing. On the flip side, it's not all smooth sailing; there've been a few grumbles about service being a tad slow on occasion, which could leave you twiddling your thumbs waiting for your grub. Overall, though, with a solid 4.0 rating from heaps of happy visitors, I'd say it's worth a punt if you're after good, honest pub grub – just keep an eye on the busier times to avoid any hitches. It's got that community spirit going for it as well, supporting local charities, which is a nice bonus in my book.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The food is absolutely spot on, especially those Sunday roasts and fresh stone-baked pizzas – they're proper tasty and great value for a casual meal out.
The staff are lovely and really go the extra mile; we've heard stories of waiters chatting away and making sure everyone feels welcome, which adds a nice touch to the day.
It's got a relaxed, friendly vibe that's perfect for families or just popping in with mates, with plenty of deals like 50% off pizzas and burgers to keep things affordable.
They've got some brilliant offers, like the rewards app for free meals, and it's heartwarming how they support local charities – feels like they're part of the community.

Cons

Service can be a bit hit or miss at times, with one chap mentioning a painfully slow wait for food that really put a dampener on his visit.
While most experiences are positive, there might be the odd disappointing moment, like delays that could leave you waiting longer than you'd hope for your meal.

The food and desert was reasonably priced, arrived quickly and was very tasty. We sat at a nice window spot and the vibe was relaxed and friendly. Our waitress was also kind and polite. Would recommend coming here! thank you Sarah for the great service :)

Restaurant Review: A Disappointing Experience I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From start to finish, the service was painfully slow. We waited over an hour for our main courses, and when they finally arrived, some dishes came out while others had to wait an extra 25 minutes—leaving half our table eating while the rest just sat there. To make matters worse, the food itself was subpar. Bland, overcooked, and clearly not worth the wait. It felt like little care had gone into either the preparation or presentation. On top of that, plates weren’t cleared between courses, so we were left sitting at a cluttered table for most of the meal. Overall, it was a frustrating and disappointing experience. Poor service, long waits, and bad food—definitely not somewhere I’d return to or recommend.

We had a pizza party for our son who was 4 and it was amazing. Sophie, our party coordinator, couldn't do enough to help us. On booking she showed us the full breakdown of everything that we was going to get and experience, she explained everything perfectly and was able to answer ever one of our questions (she really sold it). The team provided a digital template for invites, balloons, party bags and let us add on what we wanted. No request was ever met with a no! On the day we came early to drop some bits off, the room (i forgot to mention it's held in a private room) everything was already setup by the team and we was ready to go. Sophie looked after us, she was very attentive, got the children all making amazing pizza and just made it an incredible experience. All the kids loved making the pizza and we was even able to add-on a few additional pizza toppings, because we all know how indecisive kids can be, again Sophie took care of getting all the pizzas cooked and back to right child, she cleared away between lunch and desert and then took charge to get the kids to and from the ice cream machine 😀 All in all I would highly recommend the pizza party, its different and fun and the team make it a great experience all the kids came away with full tummies and big smiles. A massive thank you to Sophie for making my sons birthday party great, and a thank you to the rest of the team who helped make it a great day.

I’m a regular customer as we love the roasts here! Came with my nan this time and we had the loveliest lady Alice serving us, went the extra mile to make sure we had a good meal and had a really nice chat with her. Best of luck on your travels Alice 🥰
