What penninewalker likes about The Ship Lobster:
Lovely local Thamesside pub. Traditional, welcoming. Good sunday lunches, plentiful well cooked. Bit surprised to see they do tapas nights but if and when they do I'm sure it will be good stuff. Look at their facebook page for the latest .. View all feedback. What ken southern doesn't like about The Ship Lobster:
We are a regular small group of walkers. We arrived by car from our walk in Cobham, chosen as the reviews here were so good.Sorry to say we were very disappointed. The building is in a poor state of repair and the inside very scruffy with the dirtiest carpet I have seen for many a year. The locals were friendly as was the bar lady. The food quantity too much even for a large plate and my chips were poor (a friend nea... View all feedback.

Most amazing hidden pun in Gravesend, Liz and the staff are the most friendliest people you will find and my god the food is amazing

Despite mixed reviews, The Ship and Lobster in Gravesend offers a welcoming atmosphere and delicious food at affordable prices. While some customers have been disappointed by the worn appearance and slow service, others rave about the Sunday roasts and friendly staff. Diners can enjoy large portions of homemade food, like freshly cooked cod and chips, in a popular watering hole frequented by locals and families. Despite some hiccups in service, the overall experience at The Ship and Lobster is worth a visit for those craving a satisfying meal after a day of walking or exploring.
