    A perfect place to eat and drink. Absolutely faultless in every sense, from the friendly, fabulous staff to the great food and drink. All of this in wonderful historic surroundings. Always our top choice in Rochester, and beyond. Well done to all who make it the way it is.

    Everything excellent. Although we were lucky, because the reservation we had made through OpenTable had not been registered by The Coopers Arms, so we were fortunate they had a table available. Something that needs attention maybe.

    Lovely as always. Took my sister-in-law with her husband who were visiting from Canada. This was one of their haunts from over 30 years ago. They thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

    The Cooper's Arms has an old world charm, which is not surprising when you know its history - dating back to the time of Richard 1st, before becoming a pub in 1543. It has a very nice garden in the summer months which is quite a suntrap, the beer is good and the staff and clientele very friendly. The interior is very much what you would expect from a traditional English pub - lots of wood and brass and period photos on the wall. I would recommend it if you like a quiet place to relax and drink a few beers or have a weekend brunch.

    Local gem. Been visiting for 40 years. Very enjoyable pub food and very well presented. The atmosphere is what makes the pub welcoming. No rowdy or obnoxious customers.

    Prettiest, quiet pub in Rochester. Not too close to the hubbub of the High Street, and the beer is good. If you're eating go for the excellent home made lasagne.

    Lovely little pub, great food with plenty of choice, good service and quiet enough to talk. Had lovely weather for the time of year so sat outside in the beautiful garden. Will definitely visit again,
