The Company

The Pumproom @ Copper Rivet Distillery is a unique casual fine dining restaurant and

cocktail bar set on the banks of the river Medway in Chatham's former Royal Naval

Dockyard.

The restaurant is housed in our Victorian former Pumphouse and is almost unique in the

UK as being a casual fine dining venue set alongside our Distillery.

Our guests have the opportunity to sample some of the UK's best locally made and

sourced gin, whisky and vodka in the very building in which it was made, alongside our

carefully prepared top quality cuisine.
