Beautiful! - Yes, it's true... the outside does not reflect what a gem of a place The Sheppey is inside! Upon opening the door, we were greeted with beautiful sparkling lights on... read more the low beamed ceilings, an equally beautiful greeting from Tamsin, Toby and Shona. All drinks produced locally, as well as the food!
I had the Spicy Chicken Burger with deep fried jalapeños, my partner had the Fish and Chips. Both meals were delicious! We finished it off with a Vanilla, Orange Zest and White Chocolate Cheesecake and a passionfruit tart. Well presented and tasty food!
We plan on returning tomorrow night as there is entertainment on.

  Great spot but check events before you book - Great place to stay and the restaurant food was excellent, especially the Sunday roast. We stayed over a long Coronation weekend but the supposed soundproof rooms are not. I am... read more fortunate in being deaf but my wife is not and didn’t appreciate being kept awake until 1am on the Friday night. There is a warning on the handout on arrival but nothing on the website that I could see and, stating that the rooms were soundproof meant I did not look deeper. That apart a lovely place to stay and wonderful staff who made every effort to look after us. Would we stay again? Probably not if it clashed with the one a month music night otherwise a definite yes.

  Trip 30th or Aug - Very welcoming and a lovey owner. Great fish and chips and some great ciders and beers to try! Very well setup and lovey bar staff with great knowledge and customer... read more service. Fantastic service. Would recommend to all!

  A hidden gem - fun, creative, interior environment, excellent service, great food! - We had a lovely family meal. Staff were very attentive. We loved the unassuming entrance, a hidden gem - it felt like walking into a Tardis, a feast for the... read more eyes with a great variety of arty objects, decor - thoughtfully/tastefully put together - such a great eclectic mix without being over the top. Comfortable chairs, lovely open fire. Staff were very attentive, without being too much - they have the balance just right with our large table.

Great menu, all tastes and dietary requirements catered for, vegan, gluten free - with ample delicious choices for all.

Fantastic selection of drinks hot, soft through to I lost count of the variety of liquors etc, despite the fact I no longer drink. The alcohol free beer selection was spot on.

  Wonderful dinner - We had a delicious meal to celebrate our anniversary. The food was wonderful and so tasty. The short rib beef in particular was out if this world. It was on... read more the expensive side for us but well worth it for a special occasion. All the staff were lovely and so helpful. The range of drinks was very impressive too. The surroundings were cosy and very pleasant.

  Hidden gem - Quirky hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. We all had the roasts and were fantastic. The service was fantastic and the waiter was lovely. Can’t wait to comeback and... read more try another choice on the menu.

  Good food, a genuinely warm welcome and a surprising ambiance given the location - Your first impression of the Sheppey will be negative as from the outside it looks terrible. It’s next door to a garish B&B farmhouse, opposite a farmyard and on a... read more narrow road peppered with locals’ signs telling you to park somewhere else (ideally in the next County). Persist, though, because the food is very good, the welcome genuine and the ambiance fascinatingly eclectic.
The burger was very good indeed: high quality minced aged beef, excellent thick back bacon and a blue cheese dressing that took me back to the 1980s. Chips less good and lacked flavour but great dressing on the salad and an interesting red cabbage slaw.
Good choice of puddings, each with a bit of a twist that indicated someone in the kitchen was applying some imagination.
We went on a weekday lunchtime, when it was quiet and calm (ladies who lunch, young families, couples) but I’m guessing from the music stage that things can get quite lively of a weekend evening.
Difficult to characterise the ambience but unusual decorative touches, like the stuffed deer playing a banjo, only add to the atmosphere.
Worth a visit and a (reasonably) convenient stopping point if you’re on your way to Devon or Cornwall.

  Faultless - Visited yesterday evening for some food after a recommendation! Suffice to say we were not disappointed. All 3 courses were cooked to perfection & full of flavour! We will absolutely... read more be back.

  Friendly personal service and brilliant food - It's a bit of a trek to this tucked away gem in Lower Godney but worth the unusual journey across the Levels. The outside appearance belies the cavernous accommodation inside... read more with lots of seating and well lit spaces. It had changed hands since our last visit and owner Tamsin took time while attending to our table to tell us about the Costigans' adventure in taking on this special Inn. My burger was dreamlike and my wife's salad a rainbow of colour and flavour. The food is outstanding and so are the people owning and running the place!

  Great place - Group of friends celebrating a birthday. From the start made to feel welcome. Nice mix of diners and drinkers and plenty of space for both. Extensive beer choices, Barman able... read more to offer advice and tasters. Waiting staff attentive patient and good fun.

  Outstanding Food and Service - We have used the Sheppey Inn in summer time but this was our first winter visit. A bit of a nightmare to get there because of the floods it was... read more worth the effort.

3 couples, all pensioners, had booked a late lunch and from arrival, to paying the bill it was a great experience. (The landlady even took the time to show us how to tip so that the staff got the gratuity, other places please note. This was to celebrate the 3 wives' birthdays which all fall within 7 days.

We'll ba back when it is a bit warmer and the floods have gone.

  Amazingly delicious food! - Lovely cozy pub, great service and the best meal out I’ve had in ages. Everything was absolutely delicious, couldn’t fault it at all! Beef short rib was AMAZING

  Hidden gem in Godney - Lovely service and excellent fresh food served with a smile. Fish and chips too big for me to finish and beef burger was homemade with great sides

  COMFORTABLE AND ARTY LOCATION  - We stayed here for three nights. Having booked a superior room with balcony we were not disappointed. It was great to be able to sit outside with our drinks and... read more look across the stream to the fields and spot various wildlife.
Tea coffee and herbal infusions were available. The breakfast was provided in the room and consisted of muesli, yoghurt and berries. Milk and orange juice were provided in the small fridge.

The staff were helpful and friendly, special mention to Shona and Charlotte. Many thanks to Ben and Tamsin for there warm welcome and bring so accommodating to questions.

  Still worth a visit - Under newish ownership and some months since we last visited but happy to report that was as welcoming as ever and the service and food were excellent in these very... read more changed times. A varied and interesting menu with plenty for veggies and a good range of options for carnivores. Service was smiling and efficient and most things, if not all, are cooked to order. A wish-list destination, esp if combined with a murmuration nearby.

  Loved this quirky pub. - Loved it here! We were staying not far away and chose this wonderfully eclectic place for Sunday lunch ; so pleased we did. The staff were all exceptional and made... read more us feel very much at home when we asked to move due to noisy kids on the next table. Great beer selection and my wife’s Old Fashioned was spot on.
The actual roast was top notch, and whilst it might be considered slightly expensive it was worth every penny with generous portions if well cooked lamb and beef. Another couple of roasties wouldn’t have gone amiss, but otherwise it was simply fantastic. Proper freshly grated horseradish was the icing on the cake. Desserts were a little wacky - doughnuts with bacon ice cream and banana spring rolls - but very executed, nicely balanced and thoroughly enjoyable. Espresso to finish was also very good.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this quirky, friendly place and happily travel many miles to visit again.

  Food to die for and excellent service! - A group of 9 of us had our Christmas meal at The Sheppey and the food was absolutely to die for! All beautifully cooked, not a frozen roast potato in... read more sight, and amazing gravy too - hats off to the chef Tom.
All of the staff were lovely and really helpful, Ben was kind enough to clear some tables for us to dance, and the bar staff were great too especially Kev and a younger girl I didn't get the name of - thank you all for looking after us and making our night so much fun!
Will definitely be coming back and recommend visiting The Sheppey for excellent food and service.

Super quirky and interesting decor and the food was very tasty. Partner had the short rib and I had the beef burger which was perfect! Staff were so lovely too- would recommend!

  Groovy - Quirky is definitely the word. Isolated , surprisingly large place on the levels packed with character and interesting stuff and artwork. Very welcoming and unlike many local pubs , you... read more don’t feel as if you’re intruding . Impressive variety of local ciders on offer . Wide selection of beers too. Interesting menu and all the items we tried were way above the normal “pub food” standard. Brilliant taste and polished presentation. Service was a tad slow on a not very busy night. They do live music and I bet things get wild and busy sometimes..we ate early and the place had a peaceful atmosphere. Very attentive Lady In Charge buzzing about checking everything was ok . I loved it all.

  Good as ever  - Went for a birthday meal a while back, excellent food and service as usual here, thoroughly enjoyable place to eat or drink

  First time here - This was recommended by our b&b owner. This place is a gem. The decor is stunning. We were greeted by a lovely girl, who's name is Charlotte.

The decor is really quirky and unusual, the atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are professional, the menu is really interesting (not the usual boring... read more lasagne, scampi & chips etc) and the Sunday lunch was great.

Can recommend the cocktail menu!

The staff were really helpful and chatty. Very welcoming.
