The Ship and Trades, Chatham Maritime, Chatham.

This ultra-modern venue provides a truly unique place to eat, drink and stay, sitting as it does on Chatham’s waterfront, with ample seating outside affording views across the River Medway to Upnor Castle.

The former steel-frame dockyard offices, dating from 1875, have been transformed into a blissful, contemporary space and a showcase for maritime memorabilia that decorates the walls.

As well as providing a place to take in the surrounding martime history of the area, The Ship and Trades is close to Dickens World and the Historic Dockyard.
