About This Pub
You know, TJ's is one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Gravesend – it's got that welcoming heart to it that makes you want to settle in for the evening. From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, the staff, especially the owners Iris and Tom, go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, whether you're there for a quiet drink or hosting something bigger like a birthday bash or a wedding. The food sounds brilliant for events, with tasty buffets that leave everyone chuffed, and they've nailed the atmosphere for watching sports on those massive screens. It's also lovely to see it's so dog-friendly, adding a bit of extra fun to the place. On the flip side, it seems like it shines brightest for special occasions, so if you're just nipping in for a casual visit, it might not always deliver that same buzz – and there could be the odd hiccup with opening times that you'd want to check beforehand. All in all, it's a solid spot that I'd recommend giving a go if you're in the area; it's got that balance of homely charm and excitement that keeps people coming back.
Pros and Cons

It's a fantastic spot for events like birthdays, weddings, or even a casual get-together, with a lovely function room and garden that's perfect for celebrations.

They've got a great selection of drinks, including a good range of 0% beers and other options, so there's something for everyone whether you're driving or just fancy a non-alcoholic tipple.
-
The atmosphere is spot on – warm, relaxed, and ideal for watching live sports on their big screens, with Sky Sports and TNT covering all the big matches.
-
It's wonderfully dog-friendly, which is a real bonus if you're out with your furry friend; the pub's own dogs add to the charm and make it feel even more welcoming.
Cons
-
One downside is that while the events and special occasions get rave reviews, there aren't many comments on everyday experiences, so it might not always hit the mark for a quick pint.
-
The operating status seems a bit unclear at times, which could mean occasional closures or changes that might disrupt plans if you're popping in spontaneously.

I've only had 0% beers here so I can't comment on the food or service. However, I can say they have a good range of 0% beers and the bar staff are very friendly as are the two HUGE dogs that occasionally have a mooch about

I cannot rate this place highly enough. We hired the function room at the back of the pub last week for my mum's 90th birthday celebrations and everything ran so smoothly thanks to Iris and Tom. They went above and beyond to make our event happy, fun and successful. The food was delicious and the room was perfect!
