The Old Toad - Rochester

The cutest, coziest little joint with the best British food.

To my knowledge the only place in Rochester to get a scotch egg, and the only place that does actual shepherds pie with lamb (when made with beef it's cottage pie). The beer selection is fantastic, the food is delicious, and the staff are always friendly and awesome! The only thing I wish is that the portions were a bit more generous.

The fish fry was amazing. The fries however were very over cooked. Server was nice and as attentive as she could as she was running the bar and serving tables.

The booths, walls, and carpets could benefit from a good cleaning.

Staff were friendly and food was good even though it took a very long time. I was disappointed they had no cask beers on tap but still found another tasty option. Hopefully they will be able to bring back students from overseas again as that was always something to look forward to meeting someone from across the pond. All in all it is still a decent place to go to once in a blue moon. I might come more if a deep cleaning happens as the carpets and booths are stained and tables dirty looking.
