Great proper pub, top quality beers, lager and ciders. Not your john smiths, fosters and strongbow rubbish. Knowledgeable landlady, friendly customers. Well worth a visit. Even if you don't like the way it looks, you would have tried a decent brew.

Been coming here for a few months now, we happened to come on the Jam night the first time which was great fun to sing along with. Easily my favourite pub. Heather is very welcoming and knowledgeable, some of the beers you'll struggle to find elsewhere and most are amazing German/Belgium brews.

Has a cool traditional vibe with a special mix of customers and staff that works really well. A friendly and happy place with great real ale. There's no food and no piped muzak, but you can eat a takeaway, and the conversation is great.

Very traditional pub with some of the best ale I’ve ever had. The landlady is very welcoming and knowledgeable about her craft. Unfortunately she is unable to open lunchtimes. They had a great folk music session going on on our second visit Sunday evening . Reading area if you want a quiet session. I d it d not have time to try the Belgium and German beers . Next time. Prices very good 👍

This pub, in the late 90s, was an excellent ale house and housed not only the finest Ales but also a community of people's that were so friendly and lovely. I miss this pub terribly and wish the best for the current patrons

1st time visit, by invitation of a friend/new neighbour to weekly music nite. Thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment, new faces met on the night and the friendly atmosphere.

A proper old style pub, No music though I did notice some CDs behind the bar. There was no games machines or such likened no TV. Bare wood Floor that creakes in certain places. Sells German beer. All in all a very good place if you want few beers with a friend and a chat. I would certainly drink there again.

Had some amazing nights at the man of Kent, and it's probably my favourite ever pub. No thrills, no food, no strobe lights or anything silly, just good beer, good vibes and a lovely garden out back I was sad throughout covid that MoK rarely reopened, but understand their decision to do so. Glad to see they are operating again as pubs like this are becoming a thing of the past, long live Man of Kent!

Blessed with a landlord who knows their full inventory and is able to offer intelligent suggestions based on your personal preference. The beers and ciders are kept in perfect condition and there's a reasonable selection of spirits to support them. The facilities are immaculate and the ambience is wonderful. I look forward to returning very soon.

Used to be best pub in Rochester. Now opening hours are limited and so called covid restrictions are way too strict . No longer a relaxing experience and with the price of beer as it is I would prefer a more welcoming and friendly establishment and not feel that I am intruding on someone's personal space . Won't be going back.

Have been a few times. “Take me on a Journey” was the request of the barman (a chef) and his knowledge of the beers on sale made the evening a delight! Live music is always top notch. If you don’t like the beer, it’s because it is not for you, it is kept immaculately. If you like real ale The Man of Kent is a MUST.

This gem has certainly been reviewed positively and for good reason. But it's not just a place for well conditioned ale, the Man of Kent also boasts proper (German) lager as well. This boozer features highly on a true Rochester publican's list! The staff are sincerely companionable. The ale, and the appreciation for beer in general is paramount here and the general quality and expertise is genuinely modest. My favorite pub in the area by far, and I've been to them all!

The venue is lovely and sheek,clean and spacious. My friend and I went to have breakfast. The guy serving us ,Adam ,absolutely made this a treat. He was funny , attentive and just such a lovely guy. Because of him alone we will definitely be back. The food was good and well priced. I would definitely recommend and would go again.
