The Man of Kent Ale House, Rochester

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.
