The Shipwrights Arms, Chatham

A strange place this - well past its use by date! However, the landlady is lovely and have always been made welcome. A rough and ready bunch of regulars add a bit of character. A nice old fashioned place.

The Queen Charlotte, Rochester

The previous review is spot on! Such a depressing place.

I popped in a few weeks ago to witness one of the most absurd scenes I have ever seen. Two guys playing pool. One of which was an extremely loud obnoxious Scot who offered his opponant the chance to **** his wife if he won. His poor wife looking on aghast! The guy replied "don't worry I won't be doing that" to which the Scot said why not and exploded in a fit of rage. "What is wrong with my wife how dare you offend her!!" Unbelievable. Needless to say the pub errupted into a brawl ending up with the Scot badly beaten outside.

So, if you see a white haired man in Rochester High Street wearing a Celtic shirt keep your distance!

The North Foreland, Rochester

This pub has just re-opened. I have visited this evening and have to report that it is of exactly the same poor standard as when it closed! Great pity as this used to be a wonderful place in years gone by.
