Knowle Country House Wedding Venue

Verified
4.7(562 reviews)
94/100
Knowle Country House is a charming Kent spot that's brilliant for weddings and events, boasting gorgeous grounds and top staff, though the service can have its off moments.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The venue is absolutely stunning, with beautiful gardens and grounds that are perfect for weddings and special events – ideal for creating those breathtaking photos.
  • The staff are incredibly helpful and attentive, making any occasion feel seamless and stress-free, as shared by many happy couples.
  • They've got a lovely conservatory and bar area that's great for relaxing, plus fun events like cheese and wine tastings that add a bit of excitement.
  • The food comes highly praised, with tasty meals and thoughtful touches like prosecco on arrival, making it a real treat for any gathering.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be inconsistent at times, with some reports of unprofessional moments like improper handling of drinks during events, which might spoil the experience a tad.
  • It feels more geared towards weddings and formal functions rather than casual get-togethers, so it might not be the spot for a laid-back evening out.

92/100
The Ship is a charming Essex pub with a warm, friendly vibe, top-notch food and drinks, and plenty of positives that make it a go-to spot, though it could use a bit of TLC in places.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The food is spot on, with excellent options like afternoon tea, breakfast, and Sunday lunch that offer great value for your money.
  • It's got a lovely atmosphere, especially with that great outdoor seating area perfect for a sunny day.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers and real ales, which is always a winner for a good pub session.
  • Overall, it's a hidden gem in Essex with high customer satisfaction, as folks keep coming back for the wholesome vibes and attention to detail.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some parts of the place, like the toilets, haven't been updated in years and could do with a freshen-up to keep things modern.
  • Prices might feel a tad high for what you get, so it's worth keeping an eye on your wallet if you're popping in regularly.
  • There's a bit of confusion around food availability on Sundays—one review mentioned none was served, even though the website suggests otherwise, so it's best to double-check before heading out.

The Six Bells is a welcoming village pub in Cliffe that's spot on for a relaxed meal, comfy stay, or event nearby – think great grub and friendly vibes, though it has its occasional hitches.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is fresh and tasty, with generous portions that leave you satisfied, and they even do a cracking breakfast if you're staying over.
  • It's got great rooms that are clean and comfortable, perfect for a quick overnight stay, especially if you're heading to a wedding at Cooling Castle Barn.
  • They offer a handy shuttle service to local events, which is a real bonus for getting around without the hassle.
  • There's always something on, like live sports on big screens or fun events, making it a lively spot in a quaint village setting.
Areas for Improvement
  • Wait times for food can be a bit lengthy, even when it's not busy, which might put a dampener on your visit.
  • They ask for a deposit when booking, which feels a tad unusual for a pub, especially on quieter days.
  • Experiences can vary – some visits are spot on, but others might not live up to expectations, like with service snags.

91/100
The Mole Hole Micro Pub is a delightful little hideaway in Gravesend, serving up fantastic ales and a warm atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to chat, making you feel right at home.
  • They've got a cracking selection of cask ales, local ciders, and a few gins that are spot on for a proper pint or a refreshing tipple.
  • The open mic nights are a real highlight, with some talented acts that make for a fun, lively evening.
  • It's super affordable, so you can enjoy a great night out without breaking the bank.
  • Dog-friendly and welcoming to everyone, with a cosy, hidden basement vibe that feels like a secret gem in Gravesend.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open four days a week with fairly limited hours, which might not work if you're looking for a spontaneous midweek visit.
  • The location down the stairs can be a bit tricky to spot, so you might miss it if you're not paying attention.
  • From what I've seen, it's a smaller spot, so it could get cosy on busier nights and might not suit larger groups.

Naj Indian Cuisine in Hoo is a cracking spot for tasty Indian dishes and a cosy vibe, though it's worth keeping an eye on those portion sizes for a fully satisfying experience.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious and packed with authentic Indian flavours that really hit the spot.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making every visit feel warm and welcoming.
  • It's got a great atmosphere for catching up with mates or family over a meal.

  • Portions are generally generous and the pricing is reasonable, giving you good value for your money.
Areas for Improvement
  • Portion sizes can be a bit hit or miss, like that small handful of chips someone mentioned – a tad disappointing.
  • There might be some confusion with delivery, as it's easier through apps but could be tricky if you're ordering directly and a bit further away.

The Three Daws is a cracking historic pub in Gravesend with delicious food, a great vibe, and plenty of events, though it has a few limitations that might not suit everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The historic charm of this 1400s inn really adds a special touch, making every visit feel like a step back in time.
  • The food is absolutely spot on – fresh, locally sourced dishes like those chicken skewers and pies that leave you wanting more.
  • Outdoor seating with stunning river views is perfect for a sunny afternoon pint or a relaxed meal.
  • They've got a lively events scene with weekly quizzes, bingo nights, live music, and even barbecues, keeping things fun and engaging.
  • The staff are always welcoming and friendly, and the selection of real ales and fine wines is brilliant for a good catch-up over drinks.
Areas for Improvement
  • There are restrictions on where dogs can go, which might be a hassle if you're out with your four-legged mate and the designated area is full.
  • The interior might not be the most modern or impressive at first glance, so it could feel a bit dated for some folks.

89/100
The Windmill Tavern is a delightful, historic pub in Gravesend with a cracking beer garden and tasty home-cooked grub, though it's not without a few service niggles that might catch you out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer garden is an absolute gem, perfect for soaking up the sun with a pint in hand – it's hands down one of the best in Gravesend.
  • They serve up some cracking home-cooked food, especially those Sunday roasts that folks can't stop raving about; it's all hearty, flavoursome, and feels like a proper family meal.
  • It's wonderfully family and dog-friendly, with a cosy atmosphere and friendly staff that make you feel right at home, whether you're popping in with the kids or your four-legged companion.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a couple of reports of less than welcoming service from some staff members, which could put a dampener on your visit if you're not lucky with who you encounter.
  • The kitchen isn't open every day, like on Tuesdays, so if you're after a bite to eat, you might find yourself settling for just drinks instead.
  • Opening hours are a bit on the late side for some, starting from the afternoon most days, which means it's not ideal if you're looking for a spot for lunch or an early tipple.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty Sunday lunches with homemade Yorkshire puds, massive baguettes, and excellent value for money.
  • It's got a lovely atmosphere with a pool table, a massive TV for watching the match, and a cracking beer garden that's perfect for a sunny afternoon.
  • A great selection of drinks on tap, including some top-notch bitters, and it's dog-friendly too, so you can bring the furry friend along.
  • The place is spotlessly clean and has a warm, community feel that's ideal for families or a casual catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website isn't working properly, so it's a bit tricky to check menus or details online before heading over.
  • It closes at 11 PM, which might feel a tad early if you're after a late-night session.
  • With only around 50 reviews so far, it might not be as buzzing as some bigger pubs, though that's part of its charm as a local spot.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious and well-presented, with generous portions that won't break the bank – perfect for a satisfying meal.
  • It's a brilliant family-friendly spot with an attached zoo, making it a fun day out for kids and adults alike, especially with all the animal encounters and events like Easter or Halloween.
  • The staff are super friendly and attentive, always up for a chat about the animals or anything else, which really adds to the welcoming vibe.
  • You can bring your dog along in its stroller, which is a lovely touch for pet owners looking for inclusive places.
  • The overall atmosphere is lively and relaxed, with high ratings showing it's a hit for a casual get-together or special occasion.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was a small disappointment with some pictures on the toilet seats that upset a child, so it might not suit everyone, especially with little ones.
  • It's only open five days a week, which means you have to plan around the schedule and might miss out if you're spontaneous.
  • Being a bit out of the way in Rochester, it could feel like a trek for some, though the unique mix of pub and zoo makes it worth the effort.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, with a cosy log fire in winter and a lovely beer garden for sunny days.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of real ales, wines, ciders, and speciality gins – perfect for a proper pint or something a bit fancy.
  • It's brilliantly dog-friendly, so you can pop in with your four-legged friend and know they'll be looked after.
  • Loads of entertainment on offer, like live music, sports on the screens, and even family fun days or special events.
  • Being inexpensive makes it a great spot for a casual night out without breaking the bank, and they've got free Wi-Fi and a dart board for added fun.
Areas for Improvement
  • The food is mostly just light bar snacks, so if you're after a hearty meal, you might need to head elsewhere.
  • As a village pub, it can feel quite local and might not have the buzz of a bigger city spot, which could make it a bit quiet at times.
  • From what I've seen, it's more geared towards walkers, cyclists, or locals, so if you're just passing through, it might not stand out as much.

Pros and Cons

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on – fresh, homemade, and packed with flavour, like those dreamy Sunday roasts that everyone raves about.
  • Portion sizes are incredibly generous, so you'll leave feeling well satisfied without breaking the bank.

  • It's a welcoming spot for a relaxed meal, especially if you're exploring the menu and discovering new favourites.
Areas for Improvement
  • It only opens a few days a week, which means you might have to plan your visit around their schedule and miss out if you're spontaneous.
  • Food is made fresh to order, so there can be a bit of a wait, which isn't ideal if you're after something quick.
  • With no website or much online presence, it's tricky to check details or get updates before heading over.
  • Recent buzz seems to have quieted down, as there haven't been many new reviews lately, so it might not be as lively as some other spots.

Cliffe Men's Social Club is a cosy local spot with a welcoming feel and great value drinks, perfect for a relaxed get-together or a fun night with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Drink prices are spot on – brilliant value for a pint or a round, which is always a win for a night out.
  • It's a great spot for events and gatherings; hiring the hall for parties seems to go down a treat, with bar staff pulling out all the stops.
  • The people are genuinely friendly, and there's a nice community vibe with activities like bingo and meat raffles for a fun evening.
Areas for Improvement
  • The road leading up to the club is a bit of a mess and needs sorting out, which can make getting there feel like an unexpected adventure.
  • The opening hours look a tad confusing with varying times listed, so it's worth double-checking before you head over to avoid any disappointment.

Just a short visit to attend Cliffe Residents meeting. The unmade road leading to the club is an unexpected experience that needs attention ASAP.

V's Punjabi Grill at The Canal Tavern is a lovely spot in Gravesend serving up authentic Indian dishes with stunning river views – it's a winner for groups, but keep an eye out for the odd inconsistency in the food.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is generally delicious and authentic Punjabi cuisine, with some rave reviews about the grills and overall taste that make it a real treat for Indian food lovers.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always serving with a smile and going the extra mile, especially for groups or private parties where they've been spot on.
  • It's got a fantastic location right on the waterfront in Gravesend, offering tremendous views of the Thames that really add to the atmosphere.
  • As an upmarket cocktail bar, it has a clean, upscale vibe with wide screens, making it a welcoming spot for families and casual get-togethers.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; some dishes, like the chicken tikka masala, have been described as tasting off or overly greasy, which is a real shame for what should be a standout meal.
  • Recent experiences, particularly with take-aways, have left a few folks disappointed, suggesting inconsistencies that might put a dampener on things.
  • While the service is great, there might be occasional slip-ups, as one review mentioned minor niggles in an otherwise positive visit.
  • With a mix of high and low ratings in the recent bunch, it seems like the place has its off days, so it's worth checking in advance if you're after a reliably top-notch experience.

I received a chicken tikka masala take away. The sauce tasted disgusting. Nothing like how a tikka massala normally tastes. Same with the mint sauce for the poppadoms. Really disappointed

George & Dragon is a charming pub that's spot on for hearty meals and lively events, but watch out for the occasional service slip-ups.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday carvery is absolutely brilliant – it's like a proper home-cooked roast, and it's even better than some of the big chains out there.
  • It's a great venue for special occasions, like birthdays or parties; the atmosphere really comes alive, and it's surprisingly affordable.
  • With its welcoming vibe and decent prices, it's a reliable spot for a relaxed get-together with friends or family.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be hit or miss, with some reports of unfriendly staff and booking mishaps that leave you out of pocket and frustrated.
  • A few visitors have mentioned grubby facilities, like missing loo roll or unpleasant smells, which can really put a dampener on things.
  • There are occasional odd vibes or disappointing experiences, such as bad coffee or unreliable arrangements, making it feel unreliable at times.

Harvester Gravesend is a cosy, family-oriented pub restaurant that's spot on for a relaxed meal with mates or the little ones, boasting brilliant service and tasty grub, though it does get lively at peak times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The service is absolutely top-notch, with staff like Shelley going above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and looked after – it's like chatting with a friendly mate who knows just what you need.
  • The food is a real winner, offering hearty portions of classics like rotisserie chicken, grilled dishes, and that famous unlimited salad bar, plus plenty of options for kids, veggies, and vegans to keep the whole group happy.
  • It's a proper family-friendly spot with a warm, welcoming vibe, especially after their recent refit, making it ideal for relaxed meals out, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
  • With moderate prices and deals like vouchers, it's great value for money, and being easy to reach near the A226, it's perfect for a quick stop after exploring local spots like Shorne Woods.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty busy, especially on evenings or weekends, which might mean a bit of a wait for your table or service, even if the team is doing their best to keep up.
  • The operating status seems a tad unclear from what I've seen, with some info suggesting it might be closed at times, so it's worth double-checking the hours to avoid any disappointment when you're planning a visit.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • 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.

  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

Night was ok. But could not understand why the bar had been stripped and so the bar staff had to go to the other bar to get drinks even though there was a function on.
