Fine, attractive pub with curved frontage, situated on Rochester High Street very close to Rochester Bridge.

It was a family run business since 1999, owner Steve Kray, until purchased by Shepherd Neame in 2019.

After a period of closure for a total refurbishment it re-opened on Saturday 25th November 2023 with a new name too.

A landmark Grade II-listed hostelry dating back to the 1860s, now furnished to a high standard.

Four handpumps.
