I have not ordered food so just gave the 5 stars. The staff are friendly, varied drinks and the most important thing is that the atmosphere was so lovely. The garden is completely chilled out and on a summers evening, its really nice

Had a staff night out here, and half of the garden was reserved for us. The pub itself is quite small, and we made it very busy meaning service was quite slow, but considering the number there, it wasn't actually too bad. Having access to the pizza van on a Friday night is great. Pianoke was... interesting!

Award winning pub, and rightfully so, amazing pub, beautiful decor both inside and out, management and staff alike are the friendliest team, absolutely amazing atmosphere of a weekend, where quite often live bands are singing, quizz night on a Sunday is such fun you'd be mad to go to Rochester and not pay thos pub a visit 😊

Great little pub, old school pub but with loads of events, stand up, pub quizzes & live music. Current owners are putting a lot of work into the place Updated: I cannot speak highly enough of this pub, billy and Keiran have put blood sweat and tears into this pub adding an outside bar and cosy outdoor seating it is constantly packed due to their hard work

Great and friendly pub. The owner is wonderful and the pub has gone from strength to strength very quickly. A lovely place to go with or without friends. My only critique would be the prices for spirits are a little higher than other places. Other than that, wonderful pub!

Been wanting to visit this pub on The Delce in Rochester,Kent for some time. There were about 20 people there when I visited early on New Year's eve. Within just a few minutes,I was talking to someone and during the time I was there ( less than an hour ) several regulars chatted to me. The lady behind the bar ( very colourful hair ) had a nice way about her. The pub has had a massive refit and looks good, it has a jukebox on side and the other side is quieter and has softer seating. The pub has a large garden area. A lot goes on, open mic with a difference is every week as is their quiz. I will definitely pop in again soon.

Why have I never been in here before? I popped as I was parched and was greeted by the ever so friendly Kieran. I enjoyed a tonic in the garden and revived enough to walk the rest of the way home. I was super impressed by the garden and the variety of plants. I loved the internal decoration and the toilets were immaculate. Thanks for being so welcoming.

Some of the recents rework of the pub. I'd like the changes the design of it. My friend especially liked the outside pool table and the color options of the to indicate Ukrainian flag, blue and yellow. I thought that was very respectful and nice. The music was very friendly. The atmosphere was really good. I would recommend this place to anyone

A brilliant, well run, clean and tidy pub with professional and friendly staff. Even better since the fab refurb with a smashing garden. Regular live music and Wednesday night jam evenings. It also has the added advantage of not being used by the usual d1ck heads you get in Rochester high street. My favourite pub in medway!!!

Great local pub with a huge Garden, friendly people. Kelly has done an amazing job with transforming the Garden. Lots of seating and looks really well managed. There's even a burger van there now that does great cheesey chips (hopefully a veggie burger at some point in the future, but the chips hit the spot for now). Looking forward to some plenty more great afternoons and evenings down there:)

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.
