About

Nestled beside Oare Creek, The Three Mariners is an 18th‑century Shepherd Neame pub that blends historic charm with a cosy fire‑lit interior and a three‑level garden offering terraces overlooking the creek. The daily à‑la‑carte menu showcases locally sourced seasonal produce, a fine selection of award‑winning Shepherd Neame ales, beers and wines, and a range of handcrafted cocktails. Live music performances, Wi‑Fi, a pet‑friendly garden and an outdoor stage make it a popular destination for families, friends and dog‑owners alike. Special events such as the Christmas menu (available 19 Nov – 24 Dec) and the New Year’s Eve 5‑course tasting menu (£85 per person, including cocktails and a live DJ) can be booked in advance. For regular dining, tables can also be reserved online via the official booking page.
