The Boathouse
Located along the river Medway, this charming 14th-century pub, with its thatched roof, is a favourite spot for boaters and summer tourists. The pub is conveniently open all day, serving food to cater to all appetites. It boasts a spacious frontage near the flood control gates and the bridge over the river, making it easily accessible and offering stunning views. The pub's interior is a delightful mix of old and new. The original section of the pub retains its authentic charm with original beams and wooden panelling, while the rear extension is a modern addition. A unique feature of the restaurant is a canoe suspended from the rafters, a playful nod to the pub's riverside location and a potential lifesaver should the river ever flood. The outdoor area of the pub is equally inviting, with a generous number of tables set up by the riverside. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a meal or a drink while taking in the beautiful surroundings. This blend of history, charm, and modern convenience makes this 14th-century pub a must-visit destination.
