| No real ale when I visited,some of the Sturday night music is ok,not anything special really. anonymous - 30 May 2007 21:20 |
| Shame it is full of the extended family of the licensee, as it makes you feel a little out of place. OK for midweek football, or overcrowded and very average karaoke at the weekend. Trabbs_Boy - 4 Sep 2006 19:25 |
| The green pub! Green is everywhere. It's a light. airy pub with attractive green tiled tables inside and out. The outside tables are popular in the summer. The hot chocolates here are very good. I don't know about the cask ales as they have never been on when I've visited - but they do serve Courage Best and Flowers IPA (not an attractive selection). Service is morose, and the regulars can also look a bit grumpy at times. Not a pub I use much, but it's tidy enough. SilkTork - 20 Jun 2006 14:27 |
| The Dickens connections in Rochester are hardly subtle and Expectations is just about the biggest cash in going on the High Street. Well situated to attract visitors to the castle, one should not be fooled into thinking that Dickens would even have considered having a pint here. Very much a tourist trap with the main area more suited to cream teas. There is a smaller public bar area with a more of a local’s feel but is really quite old fashioned with its dull, outdated wallpaper and 60’s fireplace. The only features that did stand out were the tiled tables – most unusual. The only Ale was unavailable on our visit – the remaining choice was the usual bland standard selection of keg beer and lagers. Only worth going into if everywhere else is packed.
