Ye Arrow in Medway

Popped in for lunch. Good size portions. Nice staff

Great value great chef great all around

Traditional pub, with a sense of history. Great views of the castle in the outdoor seating area. Nice place to be in the summer.

My prawn cocktail starter was very fresh, and the prawns were nicely fresh and firm. The beef chilli main course was also great! We received good service from friendly staff. I shall definitely be returning.

A little bit of a soulless experience , but drinks are reasonable.

Had a lovely carvery here the other Sunday was delicious staff so nice too will be back

Had a fantastic carvery with my family. All staff were cheery and helpful, food was amazing

Good food, service and nice place.

Nice friendly afternoon barstaff, at least they had an ale on tap. Good seating options in and outdoors.

Went to Rochester today and fancied a roast for lunch while we were there, Google suggested this place ....we hadn't booked but they very kindly let us have a table. The food was lovely & plenty of it and the staff were all very friendly - would def recommend a visit but would book 1st. My only 1 negative comment would be there wasn't any vegetarian gravy - my friend doesn't eat red meat so just had the turkey which was fine but when he asked if the gravy was made with beef stock we were told yes but not offered a veggie alternative which was a bit surprising as they offer a nut roast alternative to the meats on the carvery so does that mean a vegetarian has to eat a dry dinner ? But like I said that was the only negative, everything else was great

Great place for a weekend. It may get packed but the service is always really quick! Cannot fault it.

Lunch during a day trip with family. Couldn't fault the service and the food was also exactly as described, good and good value. Fairly busy outside but parts of this could be spruced up and it would be good if people could sit outside to eat on a hot day, (the reason we chose this place) without cigarette smoke arriving right behind. The inside furnishings looked really nice. Gave 5 stars overall as on a typical day, we'd have sat inside anyway.

Lovely Sunday lunch, as usual. Lovely food and good price

Great live music every Saturday night

Best pub for views in Rochester. Plenty of staff so no waiting around and the serve Madri

I visited this charming pub today and the staff were absolutely brilliant I couldn't wish for anything else I have M S and they where so polite And friendly to me and so was the other customers . I just wanted to say a very big thank you to everyone there for being so patient and helpful to me . Thank you so much 👍

Nice place close to the castle. Only had drinks to be fair but it made an impression :)

Really nice pub to relax with friends

Went in to the pub for a drink, had to wait a while to be served despite there being several people behind the bar. Nice atmosphere and nice outside area, plenty of seating and looks out on to the castle. Only negative was a member of staff who spoke to us rudely about us eating an ice cream whilst we were being served. Proper jobs worth and needs to work on her manner when talking to customers.

Could be a great venue when you consider the foot traffic. On our visit staff were obviously annoyed as a "chef" was a no show and respective service showed it. Witnessed a more vocal member of staff delivering food with hair literally in the food. Never again !!

Rather cheap, nice location with terrace but the food is not that great, with some supermarket products and fatty food. We waited for 45 minutes (but the staff had warned us about that).

Had to wait 90+ minutes for our food and people in larger and smaller groups were being served before us. Once the food arrived it was okay , not worth the wait. Once we sat down the chairs were positioned to close together so I got smacked by a chair when ever they stood up. Would not reccomend.

This is a great pub to meet friends and family for food and drinks. There is a beer garden and dogs are allowed as long as you're outside. The atmosphere is welcoming with friendly, helpful staff.

Nice place next to the castle for a drink while visiting Rochester, nice outdoor seating area

The Sunday carvery is always excellent and good value.

Great place to listen to live music

Food very good quality & hot. Just shame service was slow.

Nice pub with a lovely outside area, selling all the usual suspects in keg & bottles

Sat outside with a drink, lovely views of the castle and cathedral.

I only popped in quickly but really liked it and hope to go.back to add the last star. Friendly service, good selection and a really nice beer garden with great views.

Ambiance, food and service out of 10.0!

Right by Rochester Cathedral & castle, very close to the high street. We popped in for a light lunch & drink. Inside is not a quaint historic pub, as you may think. more a large functional area for food & drink. That said the light lunch we had, BLT in white bagget & bacon potato skins, were excellent, both came with a decent fresh salad on the plate. Prices were very reasonable & the staff, although busy were friendly & efficient. Would return for the menu & staff, but not for the decor or atmosphere.

Lots of very small flies around my table which was very off putting .(this was onside) we were not sitting by the open door. Prawn cocktail horrible & just tasted of water. Rest of the meal was ok nothing special. Staff were nice.

Loud pub that serves a nice carvery at a decent price

In my opinion, I feel the bar staff, would benefit from some customer service skills, training.

Great sunny pub garden next to the cathedral and castle. Not much ale on tap here. Speckled hen ale, good.

One of my favourite pubs in Rochester! Great live music 🎶

Large spacious pub serving great choice and quality food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Nice coffee. Next door to the cathedral and close to the railway station.

We like coming here on a weekend night. Generally good live music and a great atmosphere. Decent-sized dance floor. Don't often see trouble, but when it occurs it is dealt with quickly, without spoiling the night for everyone else. Some good offers on drinks too. One downside is the fact they share toilets with the Jolly Knight, which means there's always a big queue, as there are only 2 cubicles to serve these 2 venues, which is pretty poor.

Had chicken leek pie it's was like eating rubber very dry chicken was bad never again wouldn't give it to my dog

Always a great place to pop in for a drink.

Beer good. Crisps good standard high Street pub.

Nice place large spaces. Drinks were very reasonable and the overall feel of the place was very chilled.

Good food and beer. Best pub in Rochester

Banging food and loads of it, lovely atmosphere

Typical coked-up medwegian bar with aggressive bar lady, avoid.

A lovely lovely carvery today, catering for at least 50 people at one time, well done.

Gotta try the Sunday roast, best to book though, gets very busy.

Had a fun evening with a couple of drinks and listening to a fab live singer!

Cracking Sunday carvery great value

Cleanest high chair in a public place I have ever seen. Lovely staff. Lovely people. Would be 5 if they had even 1 local ale but that is just me being picky

Great service, fantastic food, friendly staff..all you could want really 👍

Great Music, friendly staff, mixed age group. Music through the years. Had a great night there. Will be back soon.

Quite rowdy of a weekend later on but staff were friendly and served efficiently, also reasonable partly covered outdoor space with heaters and view of castle and cathedral

big pub in Rochester near the Cathedral. Visited here several times, decent food and a place for a pint whilst wandering. Accidentally wandered in this time whilst they were running a carvery. I don’t like carvery so thankfully the regular menu was also on. Burger it was! Staff were friendly and food was served quickly.

We've been a few times and this time we were a little later than usual, the food was good but it was obvious it was the end of the day. So we have decided to book sooner and get in earlier. Staff are delightful as always and smiley which is a massive bonus.

Good bar staff, and reasonable drink prices, the toilets were close, without a alternative

Really enjoyed the live band, great to have somewhere to dance

Super carvery lunches, served by Julie and the bar staff are friendly and welcoming!

Great place. Central location in Rochester. Friendly staff and excellent value for money. Will be going again 🙂

Ye arrow such a beautiful scenic pub in Kent.. lovely food at affordable prices🇬🇧

Nicely located pub just by Rochester cathedral and close to the castle. Good sized beer garden and fairly spacious inside area

I am normally a fan of this fantastic place however today was disappointing as the food was absolutely awful, dry and no taste at all.

Went there for a drink, food looked good though....

Very busy but the bar service was excellent

Good atmosphere, had entertainment.

Nice food lovely atmosphere I would come back again

Lovely views to the castle and cathedral

Great pub, nice seating area outside with views of castle and cathedral

Got 2 vodka cokes and 1 vodka cranberry and was charged £18 what a ripoff, pretty sure I was overcharged

Lovely pub with a sun trap of a beer garden looking at Rochester Castle & Cathedral. There is kibe music and is linked by corridor to another pub on the High Street that does Karaoke. Amazing for a quiet drink in the garden or for a night out and enjoyment. Live sports are shown here.

Clean friendly staff and good food

Always fun , great location friendly staff awesome security and good music.

Great atmosphere friendly helpful staff.good food .Great place to meet friends and chill xx

What a lovely place, clean and comfortable with a big well laid out garden. The staff were not only friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to watch them work together so well, we had drinks and food, and nothing was too much trouble. Portions were so generous and everything was excellent quality. I had a ploughman's and it was more than I could eat, my wife had a baked potato, it was piping hot and loaded. Excellent will return.

Had a lovely evening in the garden, overlooked by the sun, the cathedral and Union flag bedecked Castle.

Floor very sticky . Toilets were a mess

I prebooked to ensure we got in. When we arrived, the staff were busy and completely ignored us. I know they were busy so they couldnt serve us, but i also know from working in the industry, you dont just ignore customers. A simple "Hello, i'll be with you in a second" is a lot better than going out of your way to avoid eye contact. We were sat, already a little annoyed from being ignored. The waitress took our drinks order. Came back with the drinks and took our food order. She told us it would be 5 minutes till we could go up as someone was already up there and she would come back when we could go. Another women went up after the people who were already up there and then nothing. No one was there and the cheif had gone. We asked what was going on, as no one had come back to tell us and we had already waited 15 minutes after being told it was a 5 minute wait. The cheif came back and we still didnt hear anything, so we went and asked. We were told we were fine to go up and as we got there, a family that had come after us were also coming over as they had been told they could go. We had clearly been forgotten about and they had told someone else they could go. So we had to be up there with other people and could have gone up without the wait to start with. The food wasnt very hot, the gravy was very watery. The cauliflower cheese was very thin and watery. Most of the veg tasted/felt under cooked. The stuffing could have used a little longer and the roast potatoes were so big that although they were lovely and cripsy on the outside, they were also still hard in the middle. When we went to pay, we were again ignored for a little while. We just wanted to leave at this point.

Great pub....karaoke on a sat in the back bar is blinding

It's a pub. Noisy, not for us oldies. Great service though.

Great place to sit outside and admire the views.

Great spot amazing views good beer

Great view. Nice place. Good job on the outdoor areas, glass windbreaks allow you a cozy place out of the wind but still with a view of the castle.

The best one in Rochester love it 😀

Lovely meal will be going again ! Service was excellent friendly helpful staff lovely all round 100% recomend !!

Great atmosphere! We visited in the evening and was served at the bar quickly. The live band was great and we all had a dance. It can get quite hot with the amount of people dancing on the dance floor so there's an outside area where you can sit and cool down and heaters if needed! Great night out!

Wonderful, wonderful & wonderful. Need I say more.

They have decent live music on a Saturday. It's more the older middle aged crowd. My friend got groped which was not great.

Great staff, friendly atmosphere and lovely food.

Food is blooming amazing ..cooked fresh and well worth the money (scampi is beyond this world) ..staff age friendly..even if u scare the bejeezus out of then with a birthday party popper ....I seriously recommend here xxx

Great Carvery well worth the money
