| Quiet and tired local, situated in run down area of Strood. phonak - 17 Jan 2010 13:58 |
| Decor nothing special , beer not too bad . One redeeming grace however are the filled rolls , not only are they good value , but they are really tasty and wholesome , worth a visit just for the rolls. showoff - 6 Feb 2009 12:42 |
| Pub has remained virtually unchanged for many years. Quite tired from the outside and always appears as if little effort is made. The barstaff are, and have always been quite quiet and generally disappointingly unfriendly - not rude but just go about their job without conversation or a smile. It has always had a depressing feel inside. People seem to take little joy from being there and it hangs heavily in the air. Not somewhere where you would go on purpose - I only visit when missing the train and it has never had or offered anything to lighten my mood. The beer isn't extensive and the decor is very much 70's and 80's, not attractive at all. Because of the mass closedown of Strood Public Houses within the last ten years, there is no doubt that the Steam Packet has benefited but undeservedly so. Overall, just about OK if you miss your train but there is no other reason why you should frequent this quiet, dull and depressing little pub. With so many decent pubs closing, it's frustrating that ones such as this which offer so very little stay in business Dunmall - 2 Jan 2009 05:10 |
| Popular but smokey L-shaped local. Bar area congested, yet relaxed non-intimidating atmosphere and bar-maid who keeps aware of customers means getting served isn't too difficult. Pool table in area by toilets, and games machine by front entrance. Two cask offered, though only one available on my visit - the guest: London Pride. Good view of Medway Valley Line trains.
