Ye Arrow, Rochester

Ye Arrow is a white painted pub that is just off the high street. Once inside there is a large single room which has an L shaped front area which has comfy bench seating and small stools,the rear area is much larger and oblong shaped and has bench seating and chairs,the walls are wood panelled. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Doom Bar which was a decent enough drink,the other beers were GK ST Edmunds and Old Speckled Hen. The room was fairly empty on my Saturday dinner visit,but the outside seating area to the rear which has views of the castle and cathedral was packed. This pub is decent enough for a couple of drinks. Pub visited 6/6/2015

A large single-bar pub which appears to be part of the King's Head complex, The Arrow consists o9f a Z-shaped single bar with parquet flooring. Furniture is laid out down one leg for diners and the rest is normal bar-type seating. it's al;l horribly contrived but it keeps the tourists and younger locals happy, and the garden does give some excellent views of the castle and cathedral. The walls are wood panelled, ceiling beams are painted red and the awful muzak completes the cultural vandalism, but it all seems to work a one level. There is occasional live music. The attractive barmaid was commanding the 5 handpumps only three of which were dispensing beer. I had a pint of Howlands which was really quite good. Overall, not a bad place and worth including on a crawl.
