Dining out in Stood doesn’t get much better than The Riverside Tavern. The welcoming eatery is perfect for an after work treat and is just a short stroll from the station. And in the opposite direction, attractions like Rochester Castle, Guildhall Museum and historic Chatham’s dockyard mean it would make a good place to unwind after a day exploring the area.
Diners looking for relaxed Strood restaurants will appreciate The Riverside Tavern’s casual vibes. Much like a friendly local, it offers a casual space where people are invited to kick back, enjoy a good conversation with friends and tuck in. Their large beer garden is equally inviting and ideal for anyone that wants to enjoy views of the river.
The menu at The Riverside Tavern truly has something for everyone, making it one of the top international restaurants for eating with friends and family. In fact, their menu covers everything from burgers and wings to salads and British classics. Loaded potato skins, nachos and tempura prawns are perfect for grazing. While bigger appetites will certainly be satisfied with towering burgers, BBQ sauce-smothered ribs and their 28-day-aged steaks.
With their friendly atmosphere, crowd-pleasing favourites and great location, a meal at The Riverside Tavern is sure to tick all the right boxes. Any occasion will be even more of a treat for tastecard members who can look forward to exclusive restaurant savings when they call to book ahead and present their cards upon arrival.

Bee:"Pub With A View Have eaten here a couple of times, lunchtime with a friend and in the evening with hubby .. and will go back :)
If it's a lovely day you can eat outside as it overlooks the river. Inside the pub it has one area for drinking and a side area for eating. Food is served by friendly, helpful staff and even changed the ingredients of one of the meals to suit the diet I was on....very impressed with that! When we eat out we like to have tasty food, which is served hot, in pleasant surroundings and with friendly helpful staff..The Riverside Tavern ticks all those boxes for me."
