A good real ale pub that could be great if it was just a little cleaner and the smellof dog urine would disappear.

Agree with WhitstableOyster, used to find the pub great and friendly, however, in recent years, increasing "rules & regulations" have gotten rather out of hand, and the Landlady's enforcement of these...to the extent of screaming at customers and barring them for one slip of the tongue, has put me off using the place.
Coupled with the fact that it gets extremely busy at weekends and one may have to wait 15 minutes to be served by rude and patronising staff, I prefer use some of the other very good pubs in the area!
Oh...and the place is filthy! Dirt and grime ingrained in the seats! There is a problem with vermin also, especially under the decking in the garden area.

Quite simply a Real Ale drinkers paradise. Looks a bit rough and ready inside but the owners know their beer and all are sourced from Kent, from brewers such as Goachers, Wantsum and Hopdaemon amongst menay others. Local Cider, perry and wine are also available, all from Kent. The Lagers hail from Germany and Belgium with no sign of Fosters, Carling etc. This has to rank as one of the best Pubs i have ever been too, and is the best in Rochester by a long chalk. Excellent.

Great little pub. I've only ever been in during Sweeps festival, but every time I do it has a great atmosphere and some great bands! You'll love it if you like good ale/wine and a bit of folk music.
