Cargo Bar

General information

Cargo Bar & Bistro first opened its doors in September 2014 within the student village situated at Liberty Quays, Gillingham. Run by the University of Kent’s hospitality department, it is a landmark venture for the university in that the site is both situated off campus and is open to students and the public alike.

Cargo seeks to make an impact from the moment you step through the door, boasting an impressive industrial style interior with a nautical twist – a nod to Chatham’s strong merchant and naval history. If the bold interior wasn’t enough to pique your interest then the varied and reasonably priced menu is bound to.

The menu has everything from your classic beefburger and Gammon steak to fajitas and battered calamari. A range of desserts are also available. Catering for a variety of dietary requirements – from vegetarian to gluten free – Cargo also has a kids menu in place to keep the little ones happy. Everyone is welcome so why not pop down, enjoy the atmosphere and give your oven a rest? With a variety of beers, spirits and soft drinks on offer and a tempting cocktail menu it really is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink with friends. Even better Monday to Friday 5pm-9pm you can take advantage of Mates Rates drinks deals and save a bit of cash too!

With 8 TV screens, both Sky & BT Sports and various live music events lined up there is always something going on. Reservations are available for both small and large groups and Christmas bookings are now being taken. The friendly staff are always happy to help, so just come on in and ask.
