This is one of the more pleasant pubs in Rochester, especially over the weekend.Beer is good and bar staff friendly

This used to be my local, great for popping in on an afternoon to watch the football and get a skinful - I still pop in occasionally when in the area - but well rowdy at weekend nights. There's nothing special or pretentious about it; it's just an ok pub which specialises in drink and sport (and karaoke) and doesn't bother about food - let's hope it stays that way!

No real ale when I visited,some of the Sturday night music is ok,not anything special really.

Shame it is full of the extended family of the licensee, as it makes you feel a little out of place. OK for midweek football, or overcrowded and very average karaoke at the weekend.

The green pub! Green is everywhere. It's a light. airy pub with attractive green tiled tables inside and out. The outside tables are popular in the summer. The hot chocolates here are very good. I don't know about the cask ales as they have never been on when I've visited - but they do serve Courage Best and Flowers IPA (not an attractive selection). Service is morose, and the regulars can also look a bit grumpy at times. Not a pub I use much, but it's tidy enough.

The Dickens connections in Rochester are hardly subtle and Expectations is just about the biggest cash in going on the High Street. Well situated to attract visitors to the castle, one should not be fooled into thinking that Dickens would even have considered having a pint here. Very much a tourist trap with the main area more suited to cream teas. There is a smaller public bar area with a more of a local�s feel but is really quite old fashioned with its dull, outdated wallpaper and 60�s fireplace. The only features that did stand out were the tiled tables � most unusual. The only Ale was unavailable on our visit � the remaining choice was the usual bland standard selection of keg beer and lagers. Only worth going into if everywhere else is packed.
