The Sheppey

We love The Sheppey, always warm and welcoming in every way. The menu caters for all and both the food and drinks are excellent, I particularly enjoyed the mocktails. If your appetite is on the smaller size avoid a main course as the portions are generous.

Our first visit but definitely won't be our last - what a find ! Super chilled ambiance, cosy, welcoming and quirky. Lovely selection at the bar and on the menu and the food scrummy. This will be a regular haunt for us now 😜

We had a lovely Family meal at the Sheppey this weekend; the staff are warm and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you. The menu looked amazing with lots of choice especially for veggies & vegans. I went for a Pork belly Roast which was absolutely incredible but It’s also nice to have other main meal options on a Sunday other than a roast if you didn’t fancy it. A quirky pub with a buzzing atmosphere. Perfect.

Quirky, warm, hospitable, fun and a terrific Sunday Roast - lovely to see vegetarians are well catered for! Service was great and we had a lovely happy Sunday lunch. Word of warning...must book in advance! Journey to the pub could be a little treacherous due to the flooding on the Levels.

Food was always very good. But their Fish and Chips is now my gold standard; it's superb. I give all other fish and chips a 'Sheppy' rating. Try it, you'll be amazed. And their accomodations are pleasant too. They only have a few rooms but they are well appointed and comfortable.

We last visited the restaurant in September 2020 and had a really excellent meal with great service so were looking forward to our return earlier this month, but it was disappointing from the get-go. On our arrival there seemed to be an enormous amount of fussing by the staff even though the restaurant was at least half-empty at that stage. A member of the bar-staff muttered, 'They can get very particular' as we watched three of the restaurant team chatter about the booking for an inordinate amount of time before we were seated. The service was lackadaisical to say the least and the food was average though the prices are equal to London's. The 'fish stew' was a thin, tasteless soup, basically mixed seafood boiled in watery vegetable stock, with the bread provided with it identifiably Tesco's sourdough, and not too fresh at that. My partner was equally unimpressed with their dish so we cut our losses and left. Such a shame because it's still a decent pub and the dining room and location are really great, but the restaurant seems to have lost its game. As others have asked, what happened? Has it changed hands?
