We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Heights of Alma is tucked away a one minute walk from award winning blue flag beaches.
A welcoming children and dog friendly pub where the bar staff go out of the way to make you feel part of the community.
When we went there was live music in the fantastic beer garden and the food from the Shack at the Back was not only tasty but great value for money.. my kids said the burgers were the best they ever had and my ploughman's board was excellent!
Overall this is somewhere I will definitely come again
.. 5/5

Whether it’s a Tuesday afternoon grabbing a bite to eat with family or a Saturday night out drinking with friends, I always have a great time at The Heights. The food is always delicious and incredible value for money, with the specials board changing regularly. The bar has wide selection of drinks including gins, lagers, ales and many many other spirits (again at a very reasonable price).
Highly recommend!

A hidden gem , great place very friendly staff.
We went there with our two grandchildren and had a good and reasonably priced lunch.
Sat outside on a sunny August day, the staff were very quick to serve us.
I had a pint of beer and my wife had a milkshake the grandchildren had J2Os.
The children had a sharing platter I had the ploughmans and my wife had the baby back ribs.
The meal came up hot and very well presented.
A credit to the Hights of Ama / shack at the back.

Lovely place to be especially in the summer, kids have the little climbing frame, the food is delicious and the portion sizes are big for what you pay. Garden and toilets are always spotless and the staff are always friendly and helpful! The cocktails are also very nice and the drinks are a reasonable price to.

My mother in law took my wife, my wife's dad and me out for an early supper at The Heights of Alma, which is a pub I haven’t been in for 30 years, (I live in the Highlands).
This pub is very deceptive in relation to its size, it’s a Tardis, its small on the outside but large inside, with a large beer garden too!
Supper was an utter delight; it really was a very nice granny treat.
Granny had a chicken burger, grandad had the lamb shank, my wife had a cheese burger and I had a full rack of ribs.
Jeepers mine was really hot and tasty and I was clarted with bbq sauce after I had finished it, what a porker, I was stuffed.
Everyone enjoyed their food too, the staff were all great and I guess we’ll be back the next time we’re visiting, maybe it will be my turn to treat granny!

I’ve been coming to the heights for many years, and it is easily the best pub on the island. The staff are always friendly, and serve with a smile. The prices of both the drinks and food are very reasonable, with a wide selection on offer. Could not recommend this place enough to anybody looking for a bite to eat or just a quick drink.

A large family of 16 away for a few days, came across to Sheerness for the day and stumbled upon this pub. What a beauty! We sat in the garden, kids could play, drinks and food were cheap, staff so helpful and friendly and the food was outstanding. Staff couldn't do enough for us, the service and friendliness, even of the other people using the pub was humbling. There was so much to choose from on the menu, everyone had full bellys when they left. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely come back. Xxx

This pub is one of a kind - a proper old school pub with a modern twist. Drinks and food are a very good price but at a high standard, they had a great band in the garden where me and the lads all danced (probably embarrassing) and the service was tip top. I'll be back again and again and again.

Once again had an excellent meal and dessert at the Heights of Alma. The bar staff are always friendly and it always has a great atmosphere. Can't think of a better place to go, weather with friends or with your family.

What a find this little gem is! Thanks to a recommendation on social media two weeks ago my mum and I thought we would give it a go, and we were not disappointed! We have returned twice more in the last week. Beautiful well maintained gardens with a small climbing frame and slide for the children. Plenty of seating outside and the food is absolutely wonderful! Fresh, tasty and the prices are more than reasonable! Lots of love music and the staff are extremely friendly too. It’s a free house so makes a lovely change from the normal chains that seem to be everywhere these days. You will not be disappointed if you give this lovely pub a try!

By a country mile the best place on the island for drinks, food, music and socialising. Don’t get to go as regular as we would like but every time we have been it’s been fantastic. The food is well presented and delicious. The kids love the play area especially the wiggly slide. Always greeted by the friendly locals and staff. A fantastic place to go. Can’t recommend enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ isn’t enough.

Went to the heights for food and drinks with family. Food was top class and reasonably priced. Drinks equally so. Staff were very accommodating and polite. Above all a brilliant experience will definitely be returning.
