The Best Restaurants in Sheerness, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

The very best fishing chip shop on The Isle of Sheppey ... great staff...all fish cooked fresh ..generous portions great value.

Great Fish & Chips. Cooked to order and large portions. Happy to have found a proper chippy. Had it by the sea, which added to the authenticity Would recommend !

First time visit, previously owned our own food shop. Food hot, tasty and value for money. Will use again

Visited sheerness for a day trip. Fisherman’s catch was recommended by a local we met on the way. We got two small portions and a large one. Price is reasonable! Fish tasted great! Massive portions as well! Chips could have been better. They had both haddock and cod. When we asked which one would be better or what the difference in taste would be ( yes we haven’t had haddock in batter before) the guy there couldn’t really explain it. Not much seating but it’s mainly take away anyway. It was nice day anyway so we took it to the beachfront! Take away boxes are great!

Always been a good pub but now the place is awesome A & J plus their team do a fantastic job of sunday lunch from presentation to flavour its all superb. The kids meal is very well done without losing quality. Very reasonable costing even with drinks . Still one of the best pints of Guinness in the south east 👌 Highly recommended people

Have a lovely roast dinner, great food and excellent service. Recommended to all

Bbq pulled pork was a bit spicy but other than that was a fab experience

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Food was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to come back

Beautiful place and food, they had a live band but I feel we just sat to close to it as could barely hear each others conversation but all in all a lovely evening.

Nice quiet evening dinner, hard to judge atmosphere (so can only give 4) Food and service were fantastic! Hot meze to start ticked all the right boxes Moussaka was so rich and tasty, Kleftico was amazingly tender without losing flavour Baklava was 10/10

Popped in on a Thursday evening for birthday celebrations. It was our first time eating at Mem's, and it certainly won't be the last. Extensive and well thought out menu; there really is something for every palette. The food is absolutely sublime, well presented, and generous portions. The wait staff were friendly but polite, and the service was always with a smile. Would highly recommend Mem's to anyone who is looking for somewhere nice to go and eat on the island.

Superb stylish restaurant. Helpful, polite, fast members of staff, food was absolutely perfect, and the cocktails are to die for. The music is chilled and the atmosphere is lovely, tables and chairs are nice and comfy and the temperature is spot on. Would 100% recommend to all. Very well done.

This gem of a pub, in the heart of Sheerness, has been our local for the last 7 months. We have fallen absolutely in love with everything about the pub. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food is great and the chefs are very accommodating. They even have a gluten free menu. The beer garden is perfect for a family lunch and the best of all is they are pet friendly. There is always a fresh bowl of water for your dog to drink. Our lab Harry loves that he can go with us when we pop in for a cold beer. I highly recommend you pop in and see what it is all about.

Stopped by for lunch based on the reviews and rating. I have two terriers who were welcomed by the staff. Had a pint of Doombar - one of the best I’ve had on draught, and a delicious Chicken Ceasar Salad which the terriers helped polish off. They gave it 5 stars too!

This is a hidden gem on the island, i can't believe I've not been before, it was my first time visiting today, we sat outside to eat, it's absolutely beautiful out there in the sun, staff were so friendly and checked if we were happy etc, very helpful too. The food was really good priced and the presentation was just rediculously spot on, looked and tasted like it should have cost more, food was fresh and the chilli con carne was actually the best I've ever had, I couldn't fault a single thing about it! And i am so fussy usually lol! Basically spent the whole time I was there just telling my mate how much I was enjoying the food, lol, I was so stuffed but ate every bit coz it just tasted so lovely. Gonna make this my regular place to eat from now on, coz of the price and quality of the food, and beautiful outdoor seating, compared to other places I usually go, this is top choice for me now. There's a wide range of choice on the menu, I'm really looking forward to going back with the kids and trying the different dishes out! And I am looking forward to coming back with friends at the weekend to try some of the cocktails out!

Lovely pub , friendly staff and really nice food which was beautifully presented . Great value for meals and drinks . Has a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be returning .

This fish bar is an absolute gem. The food is always cooked to perfection, their traditional omelettes are to die for as are their kebabs and fish and chips. The salad is always freshly chopped and tastes wonderful. The owners and staff could not be friendlier and they go over and above to make sure all is OK and even the chef came out to ask if the food was OK. They are super efficient and they cook your order fresh. I don't know the names of the other staff but Helen is super friendly and we are always greeted by the family. A lovely place all round and one I would recommend to everybody ... the 60s music is always good too 😊 Thank you Island Fish Bar ... I will continue to visit every time I'm in the area 😊

We enjoyed our visit here, friendly people and a nice feel to the place, especially compared to other similar cafes. All was very clean and tidy. We’re quite fussy about our cod & chips and were very pleased with them here, and unless you’re very hungry even the small cod would be ample…flaky white and had a good crunchy batter, and proper chips - the other half liked the curry sauce. Also a good mug of tea and coffee. Looking forward to another visit and maybe the sunday roast next time 😊

Excellent food. Staff very friendly, service with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble. The cook asked if our meal was OK? Very happy. Will go back again.

Wow! WOW! First.time I've ever tried pork and chicken gyros mix Doner together. I must say it definitely beat the the kebab shops food 100% I'll recommend 👌 please please try it definitely worth it. if staff recommend it to you go for it they know what they are talking about. And also I did my research they are right about being the only people in sheerness kent with pork doner gyros .

Best Indian on the island! We always get takeaway. Food is always piping hot, tastes delicious. They even re sent out our order tonight free of charge (new years Eve) as my 1 year old decided to throw up over my partners Indian of it arriving just a few mins before. Thank you and happy new year!

Free parking and indian bangladeshi halal food Nice food and friendly staff

Always great food, been eating from here for many years, eating in or takeaway it’s always great. Only downside is side is eating in the lights are very bright, used to like the old decor with low lighting to give you that authentic Indian restaurant vibe.

Lovely place with proper pub grub that tasted fresh and flavoursome. The service was warm and friendly, even the dog got a large handful of Turkey! Thank you, we’ll be back!!

Nice pub near the beach that serves food including a sunday carvery.very dog friendly with treats on bar! Nice outdoor space at frlnt

First visit to minster. Stony beach that goes into sand. Shallow water ideal for kids. A couple of cafes. 2 pubs. One was shut for a wedding reception so tried the beach bar and restaurant. Used by all the locals had a barbecue not your average food consisted of piela burgers sausages chicken fish new potatoes salads and pasta. What a treat. Very friendly would visit again.

I have visited here a few times and enjoyed each and every visit and meal. Lovely family and dog friendly pub with great food and generous portions. Would recommend.

Very good food that would have been perfect if I had crispy crackling instead of soggy skin on the pork (see photo). Unfortunately, the acoustics are terrible in the restaurant so it is hard to hold a decent conversation. The owners should consider installing some acoustic panels to minimise sound reflection on the many vertical, flat surfaces of the interior.

Fantastic restaurant, lovely decor, beautiful food and great service. We messed up our booking and arrived a day late on a very busy day. However, they made accommodations for us and got us sat and fed within an hour. We had the roast dinner which (even for my appetite) was incredibly generous and utterly delicious. It’s a comfortable space for small or large parties of people, with a good selection of food and drinks. It’s so nice to have such a great restaurant so close by. Can’t wait to see you again!

Come for the birds or the beach - stay for the breakfast at Banks! Beautifully prepared and presented. The best full English I've had in yonks. Two enormous sausages, superbly seasoned mushroom and tomato, generous rashers of streaky bacon, eggs to order, black pudding - and no beans because that's the way I swing. All as I could have wished. Took a while to arrive, but welll worth waiting for. And I was very hungry. And location - location - location - all of Sheppey at your feet.

04.08.24 3pm Sunday Roast for two. (First visit) Overall a new pleasant experience. Limited car parking immediately outside but the adjacent Abbey has a free car park) On arrival there is no defined area to request a table. We’d booked in advance & arrived to a very busy (but clean) dining room with just 3 young staff members covering the dining room & bar. After eventually managing to grab the attention of a staff member we were seated (chairs could do with thicker cushions) 15 minutes later we needed to grab some attention again to order our drinks (at which time we ordered food too rather that wait too long again) First thoughts are that although busy & a nice atmosphere, a ‘front of house’ team member is required to orchestrate the floor team & welcome guests on arrival. Food came quickly, good temperature & well presented with clean cutlery & napkins. (No table cloths) (2 courses £25 p/p) Mackerel starter was just enough, tasty & well presented. The roast beef was plentiful & on hot plates with 3/4 roast potatoes, pickled red & green cabbage, stuffing, carrots & plenty of gravy. (Unfortunately as the meals were served to the table, a small amount of gravy splashed onto the floor & my shoes) a side of hot cauliflower cheese (£3) finished the course. Staff were friendly but a little under pressure all doing everything, it seemed no defined roll for each? The young lady that sat us & said she’d be back for our drinks order then went off to clean glasses, seemingly forgetting all about us until after 15mins we raised a hand to draw some attention from another server. It was a food only visit this time so can’t comment on the rooms. The outdoor garden area has both a raised patio & lower grass area with fantastic views right over to the Sheppey crossing. Single male, female & disabled access toilets all on the same floor as the restaurant & bar. Not overwhelmed in a positive way but not a completely underwhelming visit. Food was so plentiful neither could manage desert which was a shame as they all looked very tempting…. Maybe next time? Worth another visit but maybe at a less busy time if possible. I would imagine it to be a very nice venue for a ‘date night’ with a little music, tablecloths & candles.

As A Chef 👨‍🍳 I will stand by Them as the food just gets better and better striving to offer an amazing customer service and good quality food ......Amazing People ...... Kudos To The Host ....Amazing personality .... with an unwavering attention to the customer.... Once you Try it You will always buy it. Much love and respect To all Making it happened. And compliments To the chefs as they deliver a high standard quality food which you will not find on a 20 mile radius.

Lovely place, great for filling up. Popular amongst the locals. Better than most in the aera.

Very good quality of the food. Nice and beautiful ambient of the restaurant. Friendly staff, but sushi available only on the weekends. Very recommended.

What a lovely place to eat. Friendly welcome, everything explained, food amazing. It wasn't busy when we visited, but we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Will definitely be returning.

Food was amazing and large portions. Good value for money. Service was ok for a large group booking. Approx 40 of us split over 4 tables and each table ate seperately as the food was bought out in stages. Atmosphere was good. 1 thing that lets them down is the carpet is well overdue being replaced so if you stand for a few minutes you are then stuck to the carpet, equally if you sit to eat the chair is then well and truely stuck to the floor so getting back up was a challenge!

Table for 13 - plenty of room for everyone. Food first class. Nice decor, very clean. Staff accommodating and helpful. Made a special occasion very enjoyable.

My boyfriend and I visited the Harps Inn on Thursday evening, and must say what a wonderful pleasant experience we had. The pub was very clean and tidy inside, the staff were prompt and welcoming, friendly and attentive. We ordered our dinner and it arrived in a timely manner. The food was faultless, we rated it 10/10. My cod was as big as my arm and my boyfriends chicken was not dry, it was nice and moist, had delicious bacon and smothered with cheese. The chips were chunky chips and they did not skimp on the portions either. We also ordered mozzarella sticks as a side, and they were also delicious. Please see the pics of the meals we thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

As this is local to us we gave it a try for an afternoon lunch. A very warm welcome by the staff on arrival , decided to have some lunch .The service and food was excellent , had a 8oz Bad Boy Burger far the best on the Isle ( been to several other locations) & the Mint Aero Sundae was to die for will be returning again. A very well presented pub/inn with a lovely garden & decking area ideal for the sunnier weather.
