Woodland Tavern

Walk into the Woodland and you're immediately struck by how refreshingly unpretentious it all is. This is the kind of place where the landlord knows what you're drinking before you ask, where conversation flows easily between tables, and where nobody's taking photos of their food for Instagram. You'll find a solid mix of locals from the Gillingham community, which says everything about the place's reputation. The bar's got a proper feel to it—nothing flash, just genuine hospitality and the sort of drinks selection that covers all bases. Food-wise, they're serving up reliable pub fare that punches above its weight, the kind of stuff that keeps people coming back week after week.
