About Ye Arrow
Ye Arrow is a pub on Boley Hill in Rochester, with a garden that looks out over the castle and the cathedral. Evenings bring live music, with a dance floor and a karaoke DJ set up outside, which gives the garden a second purpose after the daytime. Food and drinks are ordered at the bar, and there is no table service. The menu includes a sharing combo of ribs, wings, onion wings, fries and salad, as well as baguettes served with salad and crisps. A ploughman's salad is also on offer, and dessert is available to finish. Dogs are welcome, and the pub supplies fresh water for them.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food and its value, singling out a shared combo of ribs, wings, onion wings, fries and salad that one reviewer found plenty for two. That reviewer returned two days later for baguettes with fresh salad and crisps. Others describe wraps full of chicken and salad and a dish for two, calling the food tasty, delicious and reasonable. Close behind is the outside seating, with views of the castle and cathedral. Evenings bring live music and a karaoke DJ outside, and one group arrived around seven and stayed on. Reviewers also call the staff friendly and polite, and one notes the place is clean and the toilets marvellous. The main complaint is the lack of table service, since orders are placed at the bar, and one reviewer finds the lighting inside a little dull. One dog owner was pleased that fresh water was supplied for their dog.

“Visiting as one of the lads was leaving the site we were working on. Great atmosphere on a Friday night the place was bouncing with a karaoke DJ outside. The weather helped too, was a scorcher. Arrived around seven ish and we didn't leave. Thanks”

“Quick drink on a sunny evening outside before a meal in one of the restaurants further down the high street. It was the Friday of Sweeps, there was live music, a guy singing. Nice.”
