The Red Dog Pub is an absolute gem and a must-visit for anyone who enjoys exceptional food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff and a cosy, rustic setting that makes you feel right at home.

The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Steak and Ale Pie—hands down the best I’ve ever tasted! The pastry was perfectly golden and flaky, and the filling was packed with tender, flavourful beef in a rich, hearty ale gravy. Every bite was a delight, and it’s clear that real care and top-quality ingredients go into their food.

The rest of the menu looked equally enticing, with plenty of classic pub favourites and some interesting twists for more adventurous diners. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is attentive without being overbearing.

Whether you’re popping in for a pint, a meal, or a full evening out, The Red Dog Pub delivers on all fronts. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Well done to the team at The Red Dog! Keep up the fantastic work.

We (family of 5 including 15 yr old, parents and grandparents) booked a last minute table . From the phone call to book in we found the staff very welcoming and friendly.
When we got to the pub we were welcomed warmly and invited to a table that was made ready for our arrival.
Cannot fault the service of any of the team.
The food including the home made chips was to die for! We had combinations of chicken burgers, Red dog burgers, and ham egg and chips.
I Wasn’t going to order dessert but father in law did so we all did and wow the honey comb cheesecake was beautiful! As was the cherry crumble! (We were lucky to get the last one!!)
We will definitely be back again to this little treasure of a pub/restaurant!
Thank you so much!

Friendly, excellent food and 1st class service. All the staff were incredible , the young lady who was serving us was welcome, bubbly and friendly she made us feel like we were home and we just popped out to our local pub ! We were staying nearby and doing this place online, we are SO happy we found this little gem and if we lived closer we would most definitely be visiting frequently what a pleasant place and experience we had!

You can really tell the food was homemade and not just heated up, perfect portion size and nothing was too much for the staff. Can’t express enough how pleasant our expense was. Please pass on our comments to your waitress she was absolutely incredible and really made our whole experience of the pub that much better was also lovely to meet the chef who was also excellent and seemed pleased to hear we enjoyed the food (and the plates were wiped clean) ;)

Thank you again!

A gem in the Rochester countryside! Homely traditional pub, dog and baby friendly! Open fire! Fantastic Sunday Roast and vegetarian options! We had starter, mains and desserts and were given a lovely corner booth that our newborn fell asleep in because we were so cozy! All of the food was absolutely incredible with lovely big portions. One of the best places we ate at on our trip that way! Will definitely be going again to try more of their menu on our next visit down!

Spectacular food for the family of seven. All the things we like! Beautifully tender beef and dumpling stew, steak and ale pudding, fish and chips, hunters chicken, ham and egg, sausage and mash. We all had something different (except 2 hunters chicken) and it was all very very good. Very happy. Definitely be back. Great service too. Highly recommended
