| Have been spending some time in Rochester recently, saw this place in the Good Beer Guide so popped in last Sunday afternoon. And was very impressed. The decor's pretty shabby, but the people in there were very friendly, the barman was chatty and knowledgeable and the ales were superb. A good variety, obviously well looked after and I'd quite happily have tried one of each, but was warned off that. Good little beer garden too, and from the posters up they have some cracking bands playing there. Only downside is the look of the place really. And there were two pumps with nothing on, although apparently that's because they get through barrels so quickly and they'd not had time to clean the lines. Which I guess is a good sign actually. Great little drinking pub, for people who like good beer. TranmereRaver - 29 Jun 2009 16:49 |
| We were in the area last Sat and had decided to try a few pubs in Rochester but after popping in here first, we just decided to stay. For a Sat lunchtime is was quiet - probably due to the lack of TVs - and it was nice to hear yourself think. I've no problems with the decor - relatively basic but I'd call that unfussy - what more do people need? Plenty of tables and stools. Loads of choice for beers (all from Kent) and ciders plus three from the Meantime brewery. If you're going to go to one pub in Rochester, go to this one... eddierowles - 8 Jun 2009 09:32 |

| Excellent pub, if visiting note the odd opening hours. Opens at 3 on Mons and at 2 on Tue - Thur. jgurney1 - 9 Apr 2009 14:15 |
| This is a pub that suffers from the location it is in as its in a run down part of rochester saying that i suppose it keeps the high st chavs away which cant be a bad thing.yes a good range of beers emphasis a lot on overated foreign 1s though which they charge an extortianate price for.the place is tacky and small and too much space is given to the bar.its ok for people who find it fashionable to stand about talking about camra festivals all night but i find the place a bit souless and the english beers dont taste that special really and they dont serve any guinness.the fruit beers are just gimmicky and i cant see the point to be honest but its much better than the dives around it. mintyfc - 7 Apr 2009 12:53 |
