The Man of Kent Ale House, Rochester

Nice beer but bar staff could be better. We were told off for standing in wrong place and for blocking the exit - which we were not. Even so, we apologised and moved but she stll kept on. Very rude and it spoiled our evening. I noticed locals standing in same place all night but nothing said to them. Bar maid also made my husband feel stupid for not knowing the exact name of the beer he wanted. Apparantly there are two types with the same name and she made it clear he should have known which one. I have been going there on and off for about 10 years but it is not somewhere to go unless you are a local and they know you - unless you are lucky enough to be served by the landlord or his wife. We won't be back.
