Kings Head in Medway

The bouncers are so lovely and give such a lively service and so nice and friendly would definitely recommend going to on a night out

Door staff are very aggressive! Screaming in women’s faces which is totally unnecessary when they ask questions. The staff in the pub are friendly and welcoming but I suggest you avoid this place when security stand on the door! We have made a complaint and the police are investigating this matter as they have abused their status and let the pub down

Rude door staff on multiple occasions. Aggressively told I couldn’t wear a cap - it’s 2024 guys, caps aren’t the problem…stop this outdated enforcement and focus on the real issues in your bar, other than my hairline. AVOID.

Tried this place again yesterday for a pint as it had taken an upturn under the new manager Jade but was told she had to leave suddenly and it showed. Place was a mess, wet tables and empty glasses and a bad vibe generally about the place. Made things even worse by having a £5 burger from out the front and my guts have been a mess since.

What a place - I came to Rochester to visit a friend and she recommended this place; we went last night (Friday) and I’m still buzzing now! There’s a DJ, plenty of good vibes and the staff are amazing! We were part of a group and the staff couldn’t be more accommodating. The place is under new management and you can tell Jade (new manager) is putting her all into the place. She personally introduced herself and moved some tables around so we could all have a seat even though it was busy. Perfect location, right next to Rochester Castle. Reasonably priced drinks. Actually considering staying in Rochester another night so we can come back for the live band on Sunday! Big thanks to Jade & co for an amazing weekend away.

Pukka night out for drinks and music......

Really looking forward to coming back here, with my dog Murray again! popped in by chance sunday, what friendly, cheerful bar staff! perfect pint of Guinness, lovely comfortable atmosphere. I had to leave before the live singer was on but was told they are every Sunday so will definitely come back, the manager gave Murray doggy treats and was making a fuss of him, very dog friendly pub! cheers.

Well what can I say? One of the best hotels and pubs there is!! Met the lovely new manager jade and her darling cat Louis, made me and my family feel so welcome and part of the family! Will 100% be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful stay and the customer service is second to none! Lots of love the Bixley family! Xx

Very friendly staff, but considering they weren't opening until 2pm yesterday, the bar was filthy with straws and fruit on the bar from the night before. The bar was sticky so clearly hadn't been cleaned, the table we sat at was dirty and sticky as well

Not a bad spot for a pint or three . Quite crowded when we visited but didn't have to wait long for service

So the doorman of this place let's in very young, underdressed girls, but then tells older people it's too packed to come in. Blatant discrimination and inappropriate behaviour. When pointed out, said doorman shrugs his shoulders... three emails later to the pub and still no reply or contact so they too must think this is acceptable !
