The Rum Puncheon
87 West Street
The Rum Puncheon is a historic riverside pub on West Street in Gravesend, close to the Town Pier and the ferry to Tilbury, with views over the Thames from its rear terrace garden, including a first-floor terrace. The elegant main bar features chandeliers and a log fire alongside local photographs, and the pub has two upstairs function rooms used for private events.
It serves real ales (Dark Star and other craft beers are mentioned), wine and soft drinks, plus a food offer including freshly baked stone-baked pizza and piadina flatbreads. Recent customer reviews are largely positive, praising the friendly staff, food quality and charming riverside setting (around 3.6/5 on Tripadvisor), though some older reviews complained of inconsistent service and cold food.
