Nags Head, Rochester

Whitewashed three-storey ex Courage 17th century pub with weatherboarded frontage, a street corner house at the start of one of the high pavements with a single storey extension at the rear. Inside are two bars with old fittings. The upper bar has a bare wood floor and an old panelled bar counter with the front painted cream. Some fixed bench seating. The bar back is possibly Victorian mahogany with four bays and a doorway on the left to the lower bar. There are ornate mirror strips between the bays including gilding and a mirrored back. Most of the lower shelving has been lost to fridges. Old dado panelling and full height within the servery. There is a marble surround and tiled fireplace but has a radiator in front of it.

Lower front bar was originally two rooms (corner door permanently closed) and has old full height panelling on the walls painted cream, panelling on the front half of the ceiling is painted pink. Has a possibly 1930s quarter curved bar counter with panelled front painted black but the bar back is of no great age and has a 1960s style wrought iron pot shelf. Fixed seating looks post war; small fireplace but modern wood and cast iron interior.

At the rear is a small games room opened up to the upper bar which was added to the pub a number of years ago but originally was a police station.
