Pier Five - Chatham

The bar staff were excellent—friendly and well-informed about their impressive beer selection. The food menu is worth mentioning for its creativity and boldness, standing out from the typical offerings found in other pubs across the UK. There were plenty of vegetarian options available. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We had a fantastic afternoon and will definitely return when we’re in the area. Price per person: £10–20.

The food was dry and excessively spicy, with everything drenched in chilies. There were no desserts or pizzas available, and then, to top it off, the pizza oven caught on fire! It’s honestly quite laughable. They didn’t bother to inform us that they were out of certain items until we had been waiting for over 30 minutes. When we finally asked, they claimed it was because we were ordering so much that they couldn’t tell us what was out of stock. Overall, I would rate the food a 1, the service a 1, and the atmosphere a 1.

While the front-of-house staff were friendly and helpful, it seemed like the kitchen was disorganized. Considering we arrived at 5 PM on a Saturday, running out of pizza and all desserts by 7 PM indicates poor management. Overall, it was a very unsatisfactory experience, and we won’t be returning for food. We recommend avoiding the meals and just enjoying the drinks instead.

Really enjoyed the food here, and the service was very speedy, but I must admit, it lacked a bit of atmosphere. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

The wings were too dry, but the fries were ok Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
