The Tudor Rose, Upper Upnor

As mentioned by others, the Tudor Rose is very deceptive and far larger than you think. You can't drive to this pub, you have to park in the car park at the top of the hill and walk down the old cobbled street towards Upnor Castle.

A fully loaded Shepard Neame pub, I don't drink beer so its all wasted on me.. However my boyfriend does and he was happy. The staff are very friendly and service was very good.

The menu is pretty good and the food we had was way better than my expectations (having previously eaten at the Pier in the Village anything would be better!). The wait for food was short and served nicely.

Not sure if child friendly but the garden at the back is very nice and we had a great few hours at the Tudor. A recommended Pub

The Pier Hotel, Upnor

I have to say I am amazed someone had a good meal and time at this pub, I've been to the Pier twice for food. The first time because the pub looked deceptively inviting from the outside, only to find the staff rude and the food appalling. The second time was more accidental, a friend booked it when I suggested eating in Upnor and myself and six girlfriends went in for dinner.

Firstly I can't believe there is a chef, the meat cuts were poor and the fish "aged", the steak I ordered was burnt (for a rare!) and the fish my friend had must of been found at the bottom of an old freezer! Whilst sometimes food can be a measure of taste, as a Chef I would of been sacked for serving the rubbish that the Pier try and pass off as food.

As for the staff - No point in discussing your issue or complaining, they are not interested one bit. All they want is your money for dreadful food and miserable service.

There are three other pubs in the lovely village of Upnor and I recommend all of the others to this rip off. I can only think the pub is being deliberately badly run, perhaps the staff have fallen out with the owners.
