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.
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.

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

  • The food is spot on, with excellent options like afternoon tea, breakfast, and Sunday lunch that offer great value for your money.
Areas for Improvement

  • 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.

The Bell Inn is a delightful historic pub with cracking food and a welcoming atmosphere, though it has its quirks like higher prices and the odd service slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming, with a warm and welcoming vibe in this historic 15th-century coaching inn – it's like stepping into a cosy slice of the past.
  • The food is top-notch, using fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients, with a daily changing menu that keeps things exciting and has earned it rave reviews in guides like The Sunday Times and Good Pub Guide.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can be a bit steep, especially for meals like Sunday lunch, which some folks find doesn't quite live up to the cost.
  • Service might occasionally be slow or not as friendly as you'd hope, which can put a damper on the experience.

  • 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.

  • They ask for a deposit when booking, which feels a tad unusual for a pub, especially on quieter days.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • 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.
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.

Areas for Improvement

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

The Swan is a charming family-run pub in Horndon on the Hill that's got cracking food and a welcoming vibe, though it's not without the odd service slip-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – from the best pub roast dinners I've had to their Thai nights, which are reasonably priced and change up the menu to keep things fresh.
  • Service is generally top-notch; the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home, especially for special occasions like birthdays.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be hit or miss; one experience was so disappointing that it put someone off entirely, leading them to head elsewhere without even trying the food.
  • It might get busy with events and popular nights, so booking in advance is a must to avoid any hassle.

Areas for Improvement

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.

Eureka's Roti in Gravesend is a hidden gem for food lovers, serving up fresh, tasty meals with a warm vibe, though it's best for those who don't mind waiting or planning ahead.
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.
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.

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.
  • They pour a cracking pint of Guinness – it's been hailed as one of the best outside Dublin, which is high praise indeed!
Areas for Improvement
  • The kids' play equipment in the garden is a bit outdated, so it might not be the most exciting for little ones these days.
  • They've had a restricted menu at times, which could limit your choices if you're after something specific – might be temporary, though.

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

  • 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.
Areas for Improvement

  • Recent experiences, particularly with take-aways, have left a few folks disappointed, suggesting inconsistencies that might put a dampener on things.

Areas for Improvement

  • 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.
