The New Cobham Inn

The New Cobham Inn on Frindsbury Road in Strood serves a Chinese takeaway menu from a public house premises, a traditional arrangement that has sustained several Medway pub kitchens in areas where a dedicated Chinese takeaway is not nearby. The inn takes its name from Cobham, the village on the North Downs south of Gravesend associated with the Cobham family in the medieval period. The Chinese menu covers the Cantonese-British range — stir-fries, fried rice, chow mein, and sweet-and-sour preparations — from a Frindsbury Road address that connects Strood to the Hoo Peninsula villages. Both bar patrons and local collection customers use the kitchen for an evening Chinese meal. Both bar patrons and local collection customers use the kitchen for an evening Chinese meal.
