About this place The Ship Inn
The Ship Inn is a pub on the High Street in Rochester, Kent, listed in our directory as an LGBTQ+ venue. It has a decent Google rating (4.2 from about 160 reviews), but we have no confirmed opening hours, events or details about the crowd. In a small town like Rochester it's likely to be a mixed local pub with a queer following rather than a large gay bar.
Ring ahead on the listed number or check its social media before making a special trip, especially on weekdays.
