The Golden Lion

A child friendly pub serving food with WiFi in Rochester.

From the early 19th century until the 1920s, 147 High Street had been The Golden Lion pub. The name lives on in this Wetherspoon pub.

Before the late 1940s, 149 High Street was the Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham Savings Bank, and before that it was the City of Rochester and General Permanent Benefit Building Society, from the 1930s dating from at least the turn of the century. Before its amalgamation into the TSB, 147 High Street was a shoe shop, for at least 20 years.

Sharp's Doom Bar Amber Ale 4.0 Sharp's Brewery Ltd

Doom Bar is a perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours, Doom Bar is both satisfying and deliciously moreish.

Tasting Notes: “The aroma of Doom Bar combines an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop, inviting sweet malt and delicate roasted notes. The mouth feel is a perfectly balanced and complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malty notes and a subtle yet assertive bitterness. The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruity notes which implore the drinker to go back for more.” Stuart Howe, Head Brewer.

Silver Stallion 4.3 Exmoor Ales Ltd

Exmoor’s 25th anniversary in 2005 was celebrated in style with this chestnut-coloured bitter.

Tasting Notes: A complex mix of four hops - Goldings, Bramling Cross, Northdown and WGV - plus a pinch of chocolate malt joining pale malt in the mash, produced a robustly flavoured beer with a fresh and fruity nose (hints of blackcurrant), plus biscuity maltiness in the background. In the mouth it’s full-bodied and malty at the starting post with a hint of blackcurrant, while citrus and spice overtones join in the race; the initial grainy malty finish is followed by a growing and lingering bitterness.
