  • "Very disappointed, this used to be a nice family pub"

    "I was recently thrown a baby shower at The Nags Head Welling and it was perfect! There were 18 of us, we were given a lovely space in the corner of the restaurant and the staff could not do enough for us! We had several pre-ordered platters and once they were gone we set up a tab and the food and drinks kept flowing! The staff kept us informed of the running total as we went"

    "The Nags head is an amazing place to visit, the staff are extremely friendly and very helpful, we have been there several times recently, the food is absolutely fantastic as is the service"

    "We used to enjoy going to the nags head for the nice clean environment and great food"

    "Went today , family meal there was 11 of us , wasn't busy for food but alot of customers at bar only who I assume was the manager serving , was waiting at bar for nearly 15 mins to order food , when I asked bar person was he the only staff on we wanted to order food ,he was rude and said you just have to wait there I'm only one person , we hadn't even ordered drinks yet ,my point is we booked the table a week before and other parties of people were coming in for food ,sure you should make sure you have enough staff there was oly one other lady working in kitchen with the chef and bringing food out ,his attitude was awful no apology, food wasn't great ,and came out in dribs and drabs so the first had finished by the time the last got there food will not be going back"

Very disappointed, this used to be a nice family pub. I don’t often write a review but the lack of communication was a disgrace! I booked this for my family of 14 for my niece’s 18th birthday. All well until we went to order our mains. We were informed that we cannot order our food as the chef does not have time because the kitchen shuts at 10 and he has too many orders backed up. But I had already ordered my sons meal, we then had to wait 30 mins before it arrived. After which we were then told that children are not allowed in the pub after 9pm. But this information was given to us at 9:30pm! The staff was gracious and allowed 5 mins to for him to eat his meal. No one told us any information about when the kitchen is shut or rules about children being in the pub past 9pm. We had to leave and go and get food elsewhere. On top of that I had to chase for my £75 deposit and the men’s urinals were blocked with urine. I will never go there again. Very disappointed!

I was recently thrown a baby shower at The Nags Head Welling and it was perfect! There were 18 of us, we were given a lovely space in the corner of the restaurant and the staff could not do enough for us! We had several pre-ordered platters and once they were gone we set up a tab and the food and drinks kept flowing! The staff kept us informed of the running total as we went. Everyone enjoyed the food which was fresh, hot and well presented. Several of my friends have said they will definitely be returning with their friends and family. Our main waitress, 'little Katie' was attentive and caring and made sure everyone's drinks were topped up. She took the time to take several group photo's of us even though she had several other tables to look after. I really can't fault the Nags Head at all and look forward to returning once baby has been born. Thanks to Alex and his team for making it such a special and memorable day

  • Kathy Fade

  • Nicola Mulligan

We used to enjoy going to the nags head for the nice clean environment and great food. Sadly the long standing manager has left and having visited it twice since it has gone massively down hill. The first time the service was slow and food no where near as good. Last night we returned the bar was covered with empty glasses and spilled drinks, tables had empty glasses and left over food and the furniture sporadically placed. Bar staff were chatting at the bar instead of clearing up and cleaning the sticky tables and the beer garden was just as bad. We had one drink and left. Very disappointed the new management have inherited a great pub and instead of embracing it they have dropped the standard. The only once decent pub in Welling is now as bad as the others. We won’t be returning any time soon.

  • Lee Jacques

We stopped in early on a Friday evening for food, and the place has changed considerably since our last visit a couple of years ago. The decor is fresh and more modern, and it feels like the place is larger for it. We had 2 meals, starter, mains and dessert, all of which were well portioned and very tasty. Both the drinks and food were reasonably priced and we would definitely recommend a visit. Almost forgot to mention the staff. Whilst one was a little green and appeared lost at times, the rest were lively and helpful. Especially the manager who went out of his way to help us when our mains arrived but I was at the bar ordering drinks... Thanks for a great meal and experience.

  • carl adams

The lasagne was amazing, one of the best I have tasted. Presentation was on point but the gammon was too salty. The drinks were a great verity and double up for £1.50 on alot of spirits. Barstaff was great fun, however cumminication between their staff was lacking and uncomfortable to watch. One member of staff gets on a till to serve me and she asked for help and was hit with "if you don't know how to use the till, why use it" This tells me that she hasn't been taught how to use it but upon trying was put down in front of customers. The disco was great and the songs were perfect for the night. 4* from me.

  • Louise Katie McCarthy

Very spacious pub with a lovely beer garden, been coming on and off for years and seen how it has changed and newly refurbished and well maintained. Food and drink isn't badly priced either Food can be hit and miss as with anywhere really mostly not bad tho. Can get very crowded of a weekend and can get fights in there but again thats the same anywhere. Staff are friendly and personally I don't have an issue with this pub.

  • Sharon Bird

A clean, bright, modern and welcoming public house. Attentative, polite and helpful staff quickly ready to serve the customers. Very clean toilets which is a must if you want first time visitors to return. We didn't eat because we had eaten earlier, but people eating near us were tucking into good looking food. For a High Street pub, this is a great place to call in for a drink or food when shopping or a place to meet up with friends. Couldn't find any negatives regarding this 'worth a visit' pub. Will definitely be back.

  • Sam Cheeseman

Have been coming to this pub on and off for 20 years, always been a fave but has gone downhill. Dirty glasses, not enough staff so takes a while to get served (same issue on a few visits), some of the tables are broken and rickety (management, put your drink on Table 16 and lean on it). My friends and I came in for a pint and all four of us left ours undrunk because they tasted metallic and off, and these were different drinks. Normal menu not available, a print out advertising "Chiken strips" on every table instead. Needs improvement.

  • David ainslie

Went for our regular family meal tonight ..pub was empty so we ordered our meal .Had to wait 45minutes and was given a rock hard sandwich... The Staff that were on service tonight could do with some training on dealing with unsatisfied customers . Apologies was given by the duty manager eventually !! I wouldn't want to put people off from going there for a bit of grub I just feel we were unlucky that there wasn't a efficient manager about !!

  • Steven walker

Tables were not cleared also karaoke was looking after its regular singers and not running to order when i approached the assistant manageress Katie she came back to me and starting pointing at me when i said i would put a Google review about my experience. You are responsible for the people that work in your bar and to allow the DJ to come up and abuse me is not acceptable This is something i will be taking up with greene king

  • Phillip Bailey

We were there today had 2 meals , beef and turkey , Food arrived cold veg warm beef warm roast potatoes only thing hot about the whole meal was the grave , so I guess the microwave works, young lady ask how was our meal explained the above , she said she would speak to the manager we waited 10mins or more but she never returned, we left food and went ,absolutely terrible experience one venue never returned to

  • Peter Almond

Just been to the Nag's Head for a pub lunch. We both love good quality, no-nonsense, honest food and that is exactly what we received. Well cooked, piping hot food and for a very reasonable price indeed. Staff were polite and friendly and overall it was a great experience. Best pub lunch I've had for ages, and I'm looking forward to a return visit in the next few weeks. Well done and thanks, Nag's Head!!

  • Veronica Nowell

The Bar staff were lovely, the pub itself was cosy and upbeat. Service great. Lovely food. Only let down were the toilets. The doors leading you to the toilets were extremely grubby, the toilet cubicle doors and locks were broken and I don't think the sanitary /nappy bins had been emptied for a while. It smelt really bad, I heard from others there the mens toilets were worse.

  • Rhys Parry

Really nice Me and my wife came out for the first time in a while we just had a new born and it was nice to get out together. The staff were really nice on arrival Really good food they had a updated menu so I thought I would try their new chicken sliders they are to die for so good I spoke to the chef Tony and told him how good his food is Would definitely go back for more

  • Tazza Hawwa

Very Lively Pub. Good atmosphere, Top Dj Music on Friday- Saturdays. Visited by young and old and busy on weekends. Meeting place for International and Local students. Live Sports coverage on Televisions in every corner. Well managed by Alex and his friendly crew. Very tight security and courteous Bouncers. I felt very welcome and had a pleasant evening. Highly recommended.

They didn't have our booking for christmas dinner but still managed to get us as a group of 12 seated and fed. Table service was disorganised but the food was good (veg soup was lovely, turkey dinner was good and lots of it, dessert was very nice). If you like a vibrant, noisy pub/restaurant then this is fine. Good night was had by all but it wasn't a smooth service.

  • Paul Seymour

Staff are nice but this visit was pretty chaotic. The icing on the cake (or in this case Ice-cream Sundea) was the one hour ten minute wait for our dessert. Loads of people complaining and the card machine then packed up! Not the normal level of service we had in there so hopefully just a glitch...

  • Finbar James

Normally a good place but were short staffed. Food was not up to a great standard but the girl behind the bar was exceptional, grafting on her own after finishing a late shift the night before. 5 stars for her but 1 for the management Staff should not have to handle that pressure without support

  • Emmaa92uk

Had a really nice family meal and drinks here, gets very lively just before 9pm as the DJ turns up (Friday's and Saturday's) perfect place to go for a good night out! Good deal on drinks too. I love this place and now consider it my local. Very good atmosphere. Great bar staff and security too.

  • Tracey Lloyd

The new Female Dj lil mich is absolutely rocking the vibe in there. I wouldn't have visited this place b4 as wasn't keen but that dj is a proper little hottie and her vibes are just out this world. She's so friendly and welcoming and has made me want to become a regular and bring more friends

  • Lynn Sales

Went in for a family meal and in my opinion the food has really gone down hill. Always found this place to be a bit hot and miss, this time it was miss. The roast dinner was awful, it was like it was cooked the day before then warmed up again. Won't be going back again in a hurry.

  • Sol Sezek

It's a pub I've been going for years and it has consistently delivered at a high standard. The food is lovely, lively atmosphere and good beer selection. Under previous management, the pub did lack a bit of professionalism but with the current management it's back to its best.

  • Paul

Only had a few drinks in here during covid19 cobblers!! Table number given, paid for drinks and drinks brought over to table double quick time. Bar staff spot on and got what I went in for, a drink! Pub clean with garden area out the back, reasonable price for drinks.

  • martin long

Waited an hour for 2 burgers on a quiet day(10 customers) to be told one wasn't available. Another 30 minutes and order arrived wrong. Lack of communication from staff though did refund 1 meal and comp a drink.

Rather unnecessary car park fees (refunded, but with Tesco and Morrison s why charge at all? The anchor and the yacht don't. Food is ok but why do you have to ask for horseradish with beef?? Plus TV is always football, even in summer, often old games.

  • Chris Bartlett

This pub is really good for a quick meal and football. It is large, roomy and the staff are helpful. The food is good with a reasonable menu. It show the football and you can watch seated while you eat. There is parking close by. I would recommend.

  • Vanessa Brooks

Beer was cold and the food was hot and yummy ,staff were friendly, polite and helpful will definitely go again. Went again food was exceagain apart from the nachos they just were not nachos not sure what they were ,it's a shame the place is closing

  • debbie park

Went there last night and the place was in shambles. No milk for a coffee... ran out of some alcohol and food.... when you know your going to be busy as we were a party of 30 you must be prepared for it. The barman wasn't very helpful either.

  • Mica Corlis

General pub feel. There was an issue with one of my drink orders and the bar server seemed to get in a flap over it. The manager, however, was able to quickly (and with a smile) sort everything out. Lemon pie is delicious.

Nice food and nice outdoor space, even though it's next to a road. Pub was pretty empty but that probably because it was a Tuesday afternoon. Prices average for the area.

Food wasn't great to be honest. Ok for a quick drink, maybe some nibbles but the meals 6 of us weren't great and slow service. Needs bit of a shake up and will be fine.
