Its a good place to meet friends for a night out. Outdoor seating area available. Quite large inside. It's not my favourite wetherspoons but it's central enough for everyone to get to

First time in Rochester and came across this pub. Appears small, but goes a long way back and there's a nice outdoor area at the rear. Used the app to order and got our food quickly. A decent Wetherspoons. Would recommend the outdoor area, weather permitting! No parking. Toilets upstairs.

This place has in the past had a low reviews, but my visit today was far from that.
The place was approx 50% full (Sunday afternoon). The service was good and the food was up to standard 👍

Came in for evening meal. Place was extremely packed for 5 in the evening. Not sure if there was tables upstairs as I saw people going up but just managed to get one just at the back just by the kitchen. Drinks came within 5 minutes of ordering from the app but had to wait quite a while for the meals to arrive. They did however apologise so can't complain.

Great facilities including lovely garden & air conditioning for hot weather. Servers were all very friendly. Very rare to find a spoons with actual clean & working toilets. Would recommend.

I had the steak club deal today. The advert is very misleading. It shows the price as £10.77 and next to this is a picture of two steak meals. One with onion rings and a selection of vegetables, the other a bowl of salad. When the plate is plonked down in front of you, all it is is an overcooked steak ( I'd ordered medium rare ) and chips. I usually praise ''Spoons but not on this occasion.

Chill place with chill staff, doesn't get too chaotic most weekends (depending). Probably best around lunchtimes - good for families.
Can't really comment on the hotel but from overhearing other people, the feedback has always been good regarding the quality/value for money.

Surprised by the quality of the bedroom. Bed was super comfy, room was sound proof so we didn't hear any noise coming from the bar downstairs. Bathroom was lovely. All clean and immaculate. Would definitely recommend

Myself and my best friend checked in yesterday for a nights stay. We were checked in by Sam who made us feel so welcomed and made a beautiful effort to make sure we were comfortable.
On the whole all the staff have been truly fantastic but Sam made us feel that little bit more special. We appreciated our stay.
Thank you guys 🥰🙏
We will definitely be returning!
