Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Nags Head

A proper old-fashioned pub on the down-market (eastern) end of Rochester High Street, with a weather-boarded façade and retaining a split-level layout of two small bars. The main room at the front is traditionally furnished but fairly plainly decorated. The back room is slightly larger and also has a pool room up a few more steps at the back and a small patio area on the other side. London Pride and Spitfire (£3.60) available from the handpumps om each counter.

The Nags Head is a really nice looking pub that is very handy for the train station.
Once inside there is a small oblong shaped room to the front with the bar facing,this room is carpeted and has very comfy bench seating and small stools,there is a separate room to the rear which is up a few steps,this room is large and bare boarded,there is a pool table to the rear right.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of London Pride which was a decent enough drink to end my Rochester crawl on,the other beer was Spitfire.
I quite liked this pub.

Rough traditional pub on the old High Street, whose fortunes vary from year to year. There has been some decline in the last few months, although it is nowhere near as bad as it was a few years ago. It remains an architectural, though, a piece of living history. Still 5 pumps on, but only one ale - London Pride which was in poor condition. It's worth a visit for the history, and it's important to support these pubs, but it is becoming harder for them to survive. Convenient for Rochester Station, a lunchtime travel break is a good way to see this pub, unless you want to experience the live music which they now do most weekends.
