Let down by small things. Had Skate (delicious) but the accompanying greens and new potatoes were so salty you couldn't eat them. Kids starter of carrot sticks etc was more like carrot peelings. Not at all appetising. Ordered dessert and coffee. Got the coffee long before the desserts came out. OK but far from great, which is a shame as we have eaten there before and it was better. Looking for positives, my wife said the Sunday Roast was good.

Had heard this was a super pub for food but was hugely disappointed. We really should have left after being told that at 7:30 in the evening most of the main dishes were off the menu!!!! No duck, no pie , no beef ribs. That left only a couple of choices. Food was ok but nothing special. My husband ordered sticky toffee pudding which arrived stone cold in the middle. Sent it back and the replacement was not much warmer. A friend ordered ice cream and it turned up in a tub you get in the theatre with wafer on the side, very weird! Will not be returning!

Lovely atmosphere, good food, friendly and helpful service. Went the extra mile when it came to gluten free bread and conversations about local veg. A really nice lunchtime.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread rolls that were nice - not the normal disappointment.

Such a lovely setting very near Oare marshes which is good for bird watching. The pub serves the most delicious food. We had an excellent lunch selected from the Walkers menu. The food was freshly cooked to order, served with a smile and was great value for money.

A late Sunday lunch for our family group of 3 celebrating our anniversary. Exceptional service and effort that made our day. Great atmosphere, food and drinks. Many thanks.

One of my favourite pubs. Food is top quality and staff is always super friendly and goes the extra mile to give you a great experience. Thank you to Georgina in particular for always making us feeling so welcome. Need to mention as well that their wine selection is stellar for a pub.

Had an unforgettable meal at the Three Mariners in Oare! The short rib of beef was slow-cooked to perfection and just melted off the bone. Hands down, the best I've ever tasted. Strongly recommend. Five stars!Parking: Loads of parking space near the entrance. Off the road as well so the cars are safe.Kid-friendliness: Lovely kids menu beautifully decorated. The kids loved playing on the boats outside, which apparently have been brought in from the creek a stones throw away.

Visited for a special Sunday lunch for my husband and myself following a stint in hospital and Covid. Thought we would try you. Looked promising. Log fire and atmosphere inviting. However, food very disappointing. £22 for a meal, without any additional sides. We had cauliflower cheese at £5 extra for each of us. Without that side, the plate would not have looked full. Some of food was lukewarm. Potatoes sad, not crispy or fluffy. Three small pieces of pork. We opted for Sticky Toffee pudding for dessert but this was dry, certainly not unctuous and certainly not covered with a delicious sticky sauce. The staff were friendly and efficient but this did not make up for the food. So sad to give this review. We do go to another pub/restaurant in the Faversham area from time to time and this offers better value for money and an excellent Sunday lunch.
Went to the Three Mariners with friends one evening last week. Couldn’t believe my eyes when we went to split the bill……… One small glass of house rose £12 …… I assumed they’d made a mistake ringing it up but apparently not! Grossly overpriced………won’t be returning.

This pub was perfect, with spacious tables, rustic/stylish decor, cool background music and friendly/efficient/relaxed service. Then the menu…not vast but each dish interesting and something for everyone, and a great specials board. You think it can’t get any better…but if it’s Friday and you order the fish of the day, you can upgrade for £2 and have a glass of fizz. And the fizz is none other than Chapel Down! Wow! Apparently you can substitute this with other wine or beer, but a glass of Chapel Down for an extra £2? That gets my vote. What a place! We’ll definitely be back - probably on a Friday.

I have had a lot of meals in pubs over the years and this one is right up there with the best. The food was delicious (I had the 'special' hake) and beautifully presented. The service was faultless and it was a lovely place to relax after a vigorous walk round the marshes, birdwatching and talking with my friend. It is not the cheapest meal out but you get what you pay for. We didn't have starters or desserts but the coffee was nice, too.

Strange and rather expensive menu - odd mix of burgers and cote de boeuf (costing £60!!). Very busy but not staffed sufficiently to cope. Food ok but overall a poor experience. We won’t be coming back - a shame as this used to be one of our favourite venues.

Popped in for some lunch and a quiet pint today with our dog, food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly.We sat in the lower part of the garden next to the boats that provided a nice shaded area for the dog.We will definitely be going back in the future.
