Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 26 reviews
The Mug and Meeple is a gamer cafe for everyone. With free wifi for customers, a comfy seating area and great coffee and tea you can just come and relax. But why would you want to when you could have access to our extensive board game library or take part in one of our many organised clubs or activities. Our staff will help you choose and play the right game for you.

We spent the afternoon here - friendly, welcoming staff, a great selection of games to play, and we'll definitely be back! We actually felt a little bit guilty that we spent so little - £15 between the three of us for the table rental and some coffees, which is absurdly cheap for the hours of fun that we had. They also have a large selection of games for sale, so we plan on buying some next time just to show our support! Thanks Mug and Meeple, and see you again soon!

Love visiting the prom/ new fort tavern especially when the underground bunker is open which tends to be when the regatta is on. The area is open, clean with nice flowers planted while its steeped with history and you can get close to some of the old guns. Ok cafe and two play areas

Just a totally wonderful experience. Made to feel welcome the moment we entered. Sat in on the 'service' in the peace of it all. Everyone there had a smile for us and I was surprised at the relaxed feel in the prayer room. We were then invited to have food and sat on the floor to enjoy the hospitality given.

We visit The Woodville often, for their films, live tribute acts and more. We always attend the Panto at Christmas time....and as usual, it was fantastic! Exciting, funny, uplifting and very interactive! My daughter aged 20 has special needs and loves all of the Woodville shows. The staff are fantastic, and always friendly and attentive. I cannot praise this venue, their performers and their staff enough!

A fantastic park with a cafe,visitor centre,parks for the kiddies and a few walking trails. There is also the old site of Randall Manor as well as the old RAF air raid shelters within the Country park boundary. The views around the park are stunning in every season. If your local, make sure you spend a day just walking around this great park.

Gravesend is easy to get to off the A226. Use GPS and plug in post code DA11 0DJ. Car park nearby. The church grounds are kept lovely and it is a very easy walk. No headstone in the churchyard since exact plot is unknown, but statue and gardens are well maintained.

I took my grandsons aged 5 and 7years old here because the weather had been so awful. We stayed for 4hours and had lunch at the little cafe there. They had the most wonderful time in the waves and on the flumes we forgot about the rain, thunder and lightening which was going on outside. They are already asking to go back.
