Long time no post.... circumstances etc whihch will shortly lead to a #two application.. In the meantime.. I know there are people from all over in here, so surely someone can answer this: Imagine for a moment, hypothetically, that you were meeting a young lady in Rochester one lunchtime and wanted to take her to a pub for a drink and something to eat (decent bar meal), where would you go? -- John SV 650 Black it is And Naked
On Rochester's High Street there are two popular pubs - 'The Queens Arms' and the 'The Kings Legs'. Inbetween these two, set back off the road a bit, is a smaller less-frequented pub and is worth a visit. So, ask your good lady if you can take her up 'The Arse'....

Hmm... I was there a couple of Sundays ago. Pikeys as we are, we ate in the Wetherspoons one in the High Street... which was ok, as it goes. There are quite a few pubs along the main High Street there, but if you walk right to the west end, there's a pub on the corner, overlooking the river - even if the food is shit, if you get the right window seat, at least the view may make up for it. If it doesn't absolutely *have* to be in central Rochester, if you drive down to Chatham Maritime, there is a very posh Shepherd Neame bistro type pub, with seating outside on the quayside, called the 'The Ship and Trades' http://www.shepherd-neame.co.uk/pubs/pubs.php/shipandtrades_chatham Never eaten there myself, but the food looked suitably expensive as to suggest it might actually be a bit better than Wetherspoons and their ilks usual fare, and if nothing else, she'll probably come away with the impression you're a bit pretentious. ;-) HTH -- JackH Pan European BOTAFOT #110 D.Bot (University Of Speed) - BOTAFOF #29 - GHPOTHUF #29
(Assuming the're open lunchtimes) I'd recommend you skip the pub and go to Simply italian in Rochester high st. (Cathedral end, opposite the kings head) http://www.simplyitalian.co.uk/ Jim
Ah, but Chatham Maritime is ever so slightly upmarket, compared to Ch'am itself... -- JackH Pan European BOTAFOT #110 D.Bot (University Of Speed) - BOTAFOF #29 - GHPOTHUF #29
JackH did scribe: No, it doesn't. I shall be taking a spare lid along and will have opportunity to whisk her away to more exotc/excluded location... if you Not after she's actually met me, she won't.... -- John SV 650 Black it is And Naked

Try multimap for a road called "The Spires", then look around for a pub in that general area. It's *really* nice there -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr M'boy's bike 2003 Honda NSR125R (Going) Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow)
