| why is it that when a company takes ove a decent pub with a good atmosphere and traditional decor they can get it so wrong the place is now dark and oppresive the beer warm (if you can get to the bar that is) its more like an amusment arcade than a DECENT pub polomint - 17 Dec 2007 18:31 |
| Seems to be lacking direction and identity. Went there in May and it was excellent, new menu with good food and well kept beer, nice and traditional. Used to visit this pub on occassion last year and it was always tired and dirty. Seems as though it has gone back to its old ways again in the last couple of months so probably will give it a miss from now on. Acid - 4 Oct 2006 15:04 |
| Prominent corner pub with a solid and attractive exterior. This pub is sandwiched between two other pubs, making for a a very interesting corner indeed. Pub is currently part of the local Veena Leisure chain. It has attempted to carry on the Hogshead tradition of good ales and good food in a relaxed bare wood atmosphere. The beers, though, are a little indifferent, and the food tends to stop being served earlier and earlier each time we visit. Bar manageress can be a bit rough and ready. Sometimes offers live folk bands who play VERY LOUDLY. I used to like this place quite a lot, but I'm loosing interest. SilkTork - 6 Aug 2006 23:40 |
| From the outside, the Kings Head is an inviting old building and being situated on the medieval High Street is very accessible. The interior however is rather disappointing and rather tacky with cheap England flags immediately drawing the attention. Whilst mainly geared towards a football watching customer base, there are also Folk nights, quiz nights and a Sunday carvery. Bar appears too small for the pub but there is another bar in a sort of side annex. Speckled Hen and Flowers were the Real Ale options when I was there. Nice little beamed ceiling, pool-room at the rear with a few old photos although you need to be a contortionist to play some shots. Another Rochester pub that is decent enough but best as part of a pub-crawl unless you intend to catch a match. RogerB - 16 Apr 2006 19:23 |
