I was their regular visitor, but after the last few planned visits I felt like an unwanted guest. So, my verdict - if you came spontaneously, then maybe you will be pleasantly surprised, but if you have a reservation or are a regular visitor.... welcome to typical their service (which means no service at all)

Had a lovely family Sunday lunch at the Ship & Trades today. Great service, very professional and attentive. The meals were excellent. The beef was tender and tasty. Feedback from the others were that the fish & chips, pie & mash and pizza's for the kids were very good. Ours thank to Rebecca and her staff for making us all very welcome. I would certainly recommend this venue, and we will be returning. P.s Don't forget to register your vehicle reg for parking when you walk in. Tablets to do so are available at the bar, and at the entrance to the restaurant.

Great venue, with lovely decoration, good food but waiting staff need a bit more training to be attentive to customers. Puting a warm bottle of wine in an ice bucket won't make it cold, be aware if customers are still eating before you rush to clear plates, And then chasing customers to drink up and pay bill because your 'closing in five minutes.'... They were very polite but this is not quite the service I would expect from a good restaurant, so invest in your people to improve customer experience.

Loved this place and have been coming for over a decade, but new parking enforcement have made it impossible to visit. Got hit with a fine a couple of months ago because the team never told us we had to put our registration number in, despite going to the bar three times and ordering food. Subsequently got another fine as the parking company changed the maximum parking term from 5 hours to 1, without any notice. The parking company expressed that the changes were made after local running groups and other visitors took up parking spaces the pub wanted for their own customers. I can totally appreciate this, but the knock on effect to those of us who visit the other retailers is going to have adverse consequences - narrow minded.

★★★

The food is amazing, and their roast dinners are an absolute stand out. The drinks selection is also great. The only downsides are that it's expensive for what it is, and the service can often leave a little to be desired. The bathrooms aren't clean, the bar staff sometimes take a little time to notice you, and you can be turned away from the restaurant for not having a booking when the restaurant itself is empty, and stays that way. As a heads up for anyone visiting, make sure you register your car or you will be fined.

A lovely location situated by the marina. Don't be put off by the first sight of the building - we thought it looked like an old run down warehouse but then perhaps that was the idea! Reception was dark and gloomy (and unmanned - we waited ages before someone turned up) also the corridors are a bit dismal but again maybe because keeping the authentication of the building? Food was excellent with a good choice and sensible prices. Very popular with the locals. We found our room to be a bit small but it was well stocked, clean and had a lovely view of the marina.

We did not stay at the hotel, just visited the restaurant. Service and staff i could not fault at all, very friendly and efficient. Unfortunately for me the food was poor. I had the steak pie and mash, it had a fancy name but cant remember. The pie was lovely, then it went down ill fast. The mash was watery but i could of put up with that, the veg was terrible. The veg was as if kept under a heat lamp for to long, very dry, peas where hard and the green beans very soggy and no spinach. I asked for fresh veg to replace but the replacement veg was the same which was very disappointing. The pudding was very nice, i had the gypsy tart. Then we went outside for a couple of drinks and the outside bar was very efficient. Just a shame the food let them down. I dont think i will return to give them another chance, such a shame.

Only had drinks here. Lovely place, tasty no alcohol coolers and good selection of real ale on offer. A criticism is that the drinks available could be easier to see - like a drinks menu on the tables as we wanted 2 no alcohol drinks but not fizzy. What we were offered were great but at the suggestion of bar staff. Food looked very nice but we only had drinks. We will return for dinner another time

This review is about the food, very disappointing, the pie was just lumped on the side of the mash, not on top of it or fully to the side, looked like it had just been chucked on the plate and the presentation was what it was . ok not a problem really, but the portion size of the veg was pathetic, and not anywhere what I m sure any reasonable person would expect. I did raise this and was told that the portions are all measured out by the chef and that was it. Would I recommend here, no, eaten here on several occasions and it has always been 50/50 as to whether the food is good or not. On this occasion my partner chose a burger and loved it, bang on 50/50, take those odds and good luck

Had a Sunday lunch here last Sunday. Mixed bag, Ill start with the good My food I thought was very decent. The portion size Id describe as just about enough and was fine for me, the quality of the strip loin roast beef was surprisingly good, tender and plenty of flavour, there was not a lot of gravy, gravy is a personal choice and Id have liked to decide how much is enough rather than the kitchen. The crumble and custard for afters was also very nice, if Im being slightly picky and I find this with a lot of places and their desserts in that it was overly sweet. Let the apples and blackberries or whatever fruit do their thing is my advice and for the crumble it doesnt need to taste of brown sugar, a tiny bit of that stuff goes a long way, the custard was delicious. All of this criticism is constructive and Ill say again, the food was good. The less good points Some of the meals were served cold, like stone-cold. Being British nobody said anything, just ate it and paid. Being totally objective my food was served at a reasonable temperature but I would say something, if asked how my meal was. The rest, well I cant make them We were there at a peak time, half one on a Sunday is going to be busy, I get it. That shouldnt be a surprise to the venue however, the people serving were perfectly nice and polite however the service was sporadic and the opposite of attentive. The waiting staff had to be chased up for everything, drinks orders, to take the empty glasses from table, for the right and fresh cutlery for dessert. I can see a manager reading this and rolling their eyes we were busy we were short-staffed I will hear. Yep, its Sunday lunchtime at a place that regularly is rammed for food, over-resource it, dont roll the dice. It isnt cheap to eat here and I dont think its unrealistic or diva-behaviour to expect a table to be waited especially when the service charge is added regardless giving the customer the incredibly awkward situation of having to explain why they want the service charge taken off (thats not what we did, just got the hump about the poor service and how much of a surcharge was added for it). Before the management reply and say you should have mentioned it. Me getting up a handful of times to ask for a drinks order, to ask for cutlery for the desserts, to ask for the table to be cleared and then ask for the bill tells its own tale. The question wasnt asked when we were paying the bill either and that was done in a rush. Ive been using the pub since the very first day it opened and have always liked the place for drinking, this is the first time Ive eaten there and Im prepared to give it a second chance but its then the Sunday food dilemma, get there too early its packed and service drops, get there too late and half the menu is unavailable. There are a lot of good places to eat in Medway and Maidstone now and Im of the mind to try them before coming back for round 2. Maybe a smaller group would find the service better, we were a group of 11 and I do get that tables that size can be a bigger task to get the timing right for the food to all be hot but we booked and selected food in advance so... I dont know, lots of people I know like the food here and so did I, the food gets a 5 sadly the service let the side down

Food and service both good but be warned. The private parking company has just changed the signs without telling anyone so you now need to put in your reg number or get a fine. The Ship and Trades didn t tell us this when we last went so got a fine. Has put me off going back if that s how it is.

Food was absolutely amazing and really reasonably priced

September 21, 2024

For clarity, we did not stay in the hotel and ate at the restaurant as a couple. I ordered a steak priced at £28 and requested it to be medium rare. Half of the steak was well done and the other half was rare - my plate was covered in oil as well. The chips were also very cold. My partners chicken burger was also overcooked and dry. If we are paying that much for a steak and burger at a pub, we at the very least expect it to be cooked correctly, were incredibly disappointed. Additionally, being told to collect our own cutterly and napkins from under the gazebo seem like a kick in the teeth considering the quality of the food. We will not be eating here again.

Was in the area visiting friends, went for a walk down the docks, and nipped in for a Beer, not a great choice of beer on offer, lots of the same. For me, I am not a fan of fish or the smell, and the restaurant smelt of fish!! Sat outside with our drinks and watched the world go by!

Went in for a meal and drinks, came out to a parking ticket.

Quite a large pub with decent service. We wanted a Sunday pint after a sunny walk around St Marys Island. Theres plenty of outdoor seating, so we grabbed a table with plenty of room for four. Food is brought to you, but drinks are poured at the bar. Spicy chicken wings and cold drinks in the sunshine? It added something to a decent day with the family. The location is pleasant too because the Ship and Trades overlooks the marina. Well be back when the sun makes another appearance. Walkability: Have a wander along the riverfront walk around St Marys Island. You can start by the Marina entrance, just beyond the Copper Rivet Distillery. Youll get some fresh air, a river view and catch a glimpse of Upnor Castle on the opposite bank. Work your way back to the Ship & Trades for a refreshing pint or glass of fizz. Food and drinks: There are some decent beers on tap and small bottles of prosecco for those who like a glass or two of fizz. Outdoor seating available with views over the marina. Its all very pleasant in the sunshine.

I visited the Ship & Trades with my family in April 2024. The venue is very nice and looks out over the dockyard basins. The food was nice and the restaurant table service is friendly. However, I received a parking charge a few days after visiting the pub. The Charge Notice states that signage is clearly posted around the car park but I dispute this. The gormless bar lady did not warn us about the car parking charges and there was no signage. We registered our car on the available consoles, but only after our dinner, so we had been there several hours. The system apparently charges you for overstaying after an hour. It seems unfair that you can stay for lunch, spend £200 on a family meal and drinks and still get hit with a £60 parking charge, basically for registering your car a bit later than the company would like. The bar is nice, but if you are going to visit, be sure to register your car when you arrive (or make sure someone else is driving!).

My God the worst food ever experienced. Wonderful location but what junk good. The meatballs. 3 small ones were gold and tasteless the brisket was tough as old boots. The bass was bony and tasteless. Absolutely without doubt the worst quality and overpriced rubbish food. Spoiled our birthday party

Beautiful pub, the staff and service were great, the food was good value for money and tasted great and the room was very nice but a little draughty due to poor windows. The location and views of the harbour were lovely.

Decent place for a quick lunchtime meet up, friendly staff, reasonably priced food which was really tasty. The place is well set out, it has inside and outside seating, and it was clean and cosy on a rainy day.

Rooms are stunning. Breakfasts are amazing. So much variety. Only 2 negative comments are the navy blind in the bathroom had toothpaste splashes all over it. There were 9 of us at breakfast and the girl kept on rolling her eyes every time was asked for anything, like a knife, a cup, toast etc. Rooms: Rooms are stunning and clean. A good hairdryer would top it off. Food and drinks: The restaurant is clean and very tastefully decorated. We were advised that the bar closed at 10pm and we had to leave the bar area. There was nowhere for us to sit and talk because there were 9 of us!!! But we would definitely stay there again.

Very clean. Great lunchtime choice. Excellent waitress but very very busy so had a long wait. Food was OK but bread looked like it been under a warming light. But still very tasty. Could not fault the service at all. Very pleasant and attentive.

Went for evening meal for four of us. Food and drinks: Evening meal at this pub restaurant was we considered very reasonable in both taste and cost. Traditional fish & Chips and Steak Shin Ale Pie was very good. Service : 4/5 |

Had lunch here. Great location and friendly staff with a cosy atmosphere by the Fire but and its a big BUT, the food was awful, I had a simple sausage sandwich and it looked and tasted like a 3 year old had made it! Not even 2 sausages and no mustard between 2 slices of the cheapest bread that you can buy. Drink here but eat at your peril!

Nice bar/restaurant with rooms. I stayed for two nights and was impressed with the location and rooms. The food in the restaurant was nice but not outstanding. The panko breadcrumbs fell off all my squid and the beef while good looked like it had been under a heat lamp too long. Breakfast was excellent Rooms: Ocean themed rooms with good quality furnishings

Situated next to a marina, has a Co-op next door and a two minute walk to the Dockside shopping centre, everything you need is around you. Rooms in the hotel have a nautical theme, some of which are looking a bit tired. Walls/doors are fairly thin, so you hear most activity in surrounding rooms and connecting corridor. Overall, the hotel is comfortable to stay in and the food in the adjoining restaurant is good quality, along with the service. Food and drinks: Ship and Trades restaurant and bar is part of the hotel and has a good menu and drinks choice on offer.
