White Hart
169 Rochester Road
The White Hart on Rochester Road in the Chalk area of Gravesend is a Harvester chain pub-restaurant rather than an independent free house, with a large dining area and servery on one side and a bar area on the other. It focuses on family dining with lunchtime and evening meals, parking and a family-friendly setup; real ale is not available.
The current building dates from around 1999/2000, replacing an earlier 1937 roadhouse whose predecessor inn served as a Second World War Battle Headquarters, and the site has been a Harvester restaurant since the old inn was demolished. It holds a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 (Very Good) from a February 2025 inspection. Reviews across Tripadvisor and TheFork (rated around 8.4/10 there) are mixed, with some praise for friendly, efficient service offset by recurring complaints about food consistency, temperature and occasional service issues.
