The inside of this pub is relaxed and the average pub style set up but there is a rather charming beer garden outside that can be enjoyed in the spring and summer months. It's one of my favourite pubs in Rochester.

We were looking for somewhere different to eat last Friday and a friend of my daughter's suggested…read morethis pub/restaurant stating that they had exotic food on the menu too. She said she really enjoyed her meal so we thought we would give it a go. Firstly, it really is a pub - there's nothing fancy about it. The tables are just to the side of the bar. The menu, as she stated, did contain exotic food - kangaroo, kudu, bison and ostrich. We're not too adventurous so decided to try a mix of the three as a starter - 3 small pieces of each for the rather extravagant price of £15.95. Well unless it does all taste very similar, I would say that we had 3 small pieces of bison as it all tasted the same - and not very nice at that. I followed that with a lamb dish supposedly cooked in allspice and tomato, but it didn't taste like that. It was served with "creamy mash" which tasted like Smash - not at all nice. My husband opted for the mixed grill and was very surprised when half of his plate was filled with a very strong kidney - so much so that the taste permeated through everything. All in all, it was not very nice and for a pub in Higham, £60 was quite a hefty price to pay for the meal - no wine or drinks! I did ask for wine and was told the only rose was Blossom Hill Zinfandel which was like syrup. Won't be venturing back, but some people may well like it. Unfortunately it's just not for me.

Perfectly poised on the High Street near the Castle, this meal was a feast for royalty. Excellent, unique preparations of well executed dishes. The special starter of buffalo mozzarella with sun-dried tomatoes had the right balance. The lasagna as well as delectable baked spinach and ricotta crepes arrived piping hot in a ceramic dish. Pretty linens, warmth, and delectable choices all added to the ambiance. Did I mention basket of plants lining the interior walls? Bellissimo!!
