The George Vaults

You're walking down Chatham High Street and you duck into these characterful brick vaults—original features everywhere, proper old-school boozer bones but done up smart without being precious about it. The kitchen takes things seriously here: expect elevated pub classics, seasonal menus that actually change, and they're not just slopping out tired standards. It's got that sweet spot where you can roll in for a pint and some comfort food, or dress it up for something more considered. Locals rate it highly for a reason—it feels like a place that respects both its history and its food.
