The Sheppey

Thoroughly enjoyed it

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 a**osphere. 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.

We had a lovely time staying here. The room was large and comfortable. It was too cold to use the balcony but we enjoyed the view. The fresh berries, yogurt and granola made a tasty breakfast.

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.

The Sheppey Inn is quirky and I should imagine that when it first opened it was quite novel. However, now it is looking a bit tired, the stairs carpet need a good clean, I do understand that it is a walking area but the first 4-5 steps are grubby. The room could also use a deep clean, for example the TV screen was smeary, vase was dusty/dirty and the cotton wool container was the same. The breakfast was a bit lacklustre and definitely not continental, couple of boxed mueslis, yoghurt and fruit (banana and apple's). If a breakfast can't be served then maybe offer some pastries. The room could also do with a few items to make it a bit easier to stay, hooks for coats, and towels in the bathroom. Chest of drawers for pants / socks etc. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the balcony was lovely in the morning. The surrounding countryside beautiful.

Such a let down. Looks the same & menu sounds the same - but this place is lightyears away from its brilliant heyday under its original owners. New owners have just not kept the quality of food, service or a**osphere. 3 of us with different mains all had to leave our food. Service had to be chased up. The dipping oil tasted horribly like sunflower! What a shame.

Lovely place, great pub with interesting menu. The room was great, clean very easy to check in etc. Very cool place. Would stay again. Only issues: 1 parking is limited / on the road. 2 We had a balcony room. This was great in the morning but it’s directly above the pub decking - not particularly private, and so you get smoke and noise until the pub shuts. Next time I wouldn’t bother with paying extra for this.

Fab venue. I give 5* to the kitchen they served up a fabulous dinner. I am still raving about it. If someone asks me for a recommendation to stay when visiting Glastonbury then it has to be The Sheppey. I'm going back when the live music starts up. This place rocks!
