  “This gem of a pub, in the heart of Sheerness, has been our local for the last 7 months. We have fallen absolutely in love with everything about the pub. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food is great and the chefs are very accommodating. They even have a gluten free menu. The beer garden is perfect for a family lunch and the best of all is they are pet friendly. There is always a fresh bowl of water for your dog to drink. Our lab Harry loves that he can go with us when we pop in for a cold beer. I highly recommend you pop in and see what it is all about.”

  “A real jewel of a pub! 🍻 The Heights of Alma in Sheerness is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, there’s a fantastic atmosphere, genuinely friendly service and a warmth that makes you want to stay for another drink. The food is superb and, for me, the Sunday roast is the star of the show — generous, beautifully cooked and full of flavour. What makes it even better is that the quality goes far beyond what you’d expect for the price. It genuinely punches well above its weight. Add regular live music, a great crowd and that proper pub atmosphere, and you’ve got somewhere that is a real asset to Sheerness. Great food, great service, great entertainment and fantastic value. The Heights of Alma is a little jewel — highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

  “We visited as a group of 5 and, unfortunately, the food and overall experience were extremely disappointing. We ordered two lamb burgers, two gammon roasts and a beef roast. I’m honestly not someone who usually complains about food, but unfortunately there were issues with every meal. • One of the lamb burgers contained a hair. • ALL of the roast potatoes were extremely hard — I genuinely couldn’t get my knife through some of them. • ALL of the Yorkshire puddings were stale and unpleasant. • The “gammon” looked more like pork and, unfortunately, didn’t remotely taste like gammon. • The roasted vegetables were extremely soft and had none of the texture or bite you would expect from roasted vegetables. • The lamb burgers were also missing the chutney and onions that were supposed to come with them. From what we could see and hear, the food appeared to be being reheated rather than freshly prepared, with what sounded like repeated beeping from a Ninja-style cooker coming from the garden kitchen. Given the quality of the food, this unfortunately seemed consistent with what we were served. The service didn’t improve the experience either. The barmaid appeared extremely overworked, and there were no smiles or pleasantries when ordering — just a rather abrupt “yes?” We weren’t checked on once after our meals arrived, either to ask whether everything was okay or whether we needed anything else. The garden is definitely dog friendly, which can be a positive, but unfortunately on our visit the dogs were constantly barking at everything, which made the atmosphere quite unpleasant. Would we come again? Unfortunately, absolutely not — not even if we were offered a free meal. I’ve attached photographs because I think they speak for themselves. It’s a real shame because we were a group of five who genuinely wanted to enjoy a meal together, but the food quality and service made this a very disappointing visit.”

  “A very good local pub, that also does very good food, and has a very good garden. (Yes, it's all very good 😊) Popped in for Thursday lunch (chilli on a jacket potato, and burger with bacon and cheese). Both were fantastic, cooked and served fresh while we sat and enjoyed the garden with a very friendly cat. Drink and food prices are also very reasonable... 10/10”

  “Bar prices were surprisingly cheap, the food in my opinion wasnt the best of value for my money as the portion sizes were smaller than expected for the price but was quite tasty. Overall atmosphere was OK, staff were friendly enough and the patrons very pleasant.”
