It's good, just don't get it confused with the other Ship Inn in Rochester like I did!

Wonderful interior and exterior, a must see. Didn't appreciate the continous foul language from what obviously was a local guy. Have bands play here, love to visit when they play as the 'stage' is in a interesting corner of the bar area.

This is a really nice pub. The open mic on a Sunday (which I went for first time last week) has a great vibe and the pub is a nice place to have a quiet pint in the afternoon. It’s also welcoming to young people. I brought by 14 year old nephew in for a game of darts and pool and they had no problem with him playing pool unlike some other local pubs which have a 16 plus age rule. As others have said though parking is a challenge particularly of an evening.

At first we thought the place looked chill when we walked in , but then once it got to 9pm it got packed with underaged kids , and i am talking PACKED !!! there was no space whatsoever and the queue kept going for meters and meters . Not to mention seeing underaged kids drinking alcohol too , which by the way was very pricey for a small place like that … the prices were basically what u would find in London. This place should really get checked , because nobody was even checking IDs on the door . Quite shocking they let anybody in on a friday night .

Spent years living near this pub. Hated it. Damage to cars, being woken up at 4am when the lock ins kicked out, hearing people boast that they're only 16 - 17 years old. Urine in the front garden, smashed glass by the cars and police outside constantly. I had to move out of the area just because of this Landlord and his drug dealer friends ruining a normally quiet and respectful road that he has destroyed since taking the licence over

Not for the first time by a long shot xx the ship in gillingham is an absolute no brainer for live music and a good night out, what I ❤️ the most is the atmosphere which these days is a hard thing to find going out !!

Attended a so called 'jam' night but quickly realised it was an excuse for older bands to play their stuff that was rehearsed before anything else with no improvisation. The musicians were cool but staff colder than an Arctic death machine post lockdown screaming "look at me!". It goes against the whole idea of a 'jam' and is strictly orchestrated by the sound engineer who appears to have a be in his bonnet over change and the unknown.

I'm sorry but not a place I would use for eating in. The toilets well what a smelly unhygienic setup. The whole establishment is dirty. The large gentleman behind the bar is ignorant and bad mannered and the foul language between the two men behind the bar is not what I expect to hear especially when young children are present.

Had a really great night here. The first time we visited the pub and a local band, the Dirty Modal Souls were doing a gig. The band was great, the bass guitarist was brilliant, and had amazing dress sense, and his personality and sense of humour certainly showed. The drummer was just brilliant. I'd love to have his energy as was the lead singer. All very talented musicians will definitely be seeing them again. The pub was very welcoming, all bar staff were friendly and the prices were the same for a similar pub in the area. The pub is small but has a massive personality about it. Nothing posh or fancy, just a great pub with lovely people.

Just rediscovered this pub after too many years. Friendly landlord who makes time for customers. Am enjoying the open mic night every Sunday from 6pm - busy, some excellent musicians and a great vibe. It's a proper pub with a real mix of all types but everyone seems to get along. Reminds me of how pubs used to be - lively and with atmosphere 👍

I've been here many times over the years and as a pub that has actively supported live music it's a lovely welcoming venue (I've also attended a wake here as well). They also host regular Jam / open mic sessions on a Sunday which by all accounts are extremely popular, the thing that let's it down for me is the location, being in a dense residential area parking has always been problematic but since must last visit it seems that the number of cars in the area have exploded and given that the pub has no dedicated parking itself means that you could very possibly find yourself with a 10 minute plus walk should you be lucky enough to find a space in the vicinity at all, such a shame. Great pub if you're a local otherwise be warned.

Lovely proper olde world pub with a great vibe, steak night was a huge hit, beautifully cooked steak and bottle of red, by an open fire and with the resident acoustic band Zac Schulze Band playing in the background. The friendliest landlord and landlady with a real family friendly vibe. Great food on a Sunday too with the carvery, all fresh and good selection of meat and vegetables too! Better than cooking at home followed by the Sunday jam and open mic sessions, great way to end the weekend. Well done all at the Ship, keep it coming and make the steak night a regular feature!

You cant go wrong to visit for Sunday dinner and the added bonus of the price means we will be visiting again.....soon. Nat and Charlotte should be complemented. Gaz and Wendie.

Both Nat and Charlotte work tirelessly to keep the Ship sailing and this is obvious! The pub is warm and friendly with a beautiful open fireplace- really toasty in the winter! Recently, they have just put Tetley's on draught which, for me, is a thumbs up. No matter what time you go to the pub, you are always bound to meet and chat with any of the friendly locals or staff. Great pub with great people. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger- I'll be back!

I'm sure the food is as good as the menu suggests but the pub needs a bit of tlc. Doesn't need 2 big dogs barking at you as you enter. Luckily I like dogs and they were ok but could be offputting for some. Also the dining area was a bit hairy on the carpet and smelt doggy. I would like to see this pub do well but won't be eating there until I see changes. The ceiling beams above the dining area were dusty and a bit of lunchtime background music would help with the atmosphere. Hate having to say all this but, with constuctional criticism, this pub could turn itself round and do extremely well. Great venue for bands 🙄

There are two Costa Coffees at Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre (one inside and one outside). This is a review of the one outside as it was the first one we saw after parking the car. It it a light, airy establishment with friendly, helpful staff. There is seating both inside and outside and the tables were cleared as soon as the customers had left. The usual Costa drinks and snacks were available and our coffee was up to the usual good Costa standard.

I Googled Rochester restaurants as we were visiting family in the area we chose this as liked the look of the menu. We arrived a little early and were told they were happy to serve us in the bar as mum has mobility issues and resturant table were further. The staff were lovely the decor nice and fresh. We had a bit of a wait as a problem with the oven, they were very apologetic and reduced our bill. We had mussels, garlic mushroom, and crayfish cocktail as starter. Lamb shank and shin of beef for mains. Despite the oven problem it was all cooked perfection we will definitely be back.
