Our Shorts Restaurant is named after the builders of the mighty Medway flying boats.

Pictures of all most the entire fleet can be seen on our walls including the Mercury Maia the piggy back trans-Atlantic flying boat, pictured in front of Rochester bridge.

Residents and non-residents alike are welcome for a single course or three course meal, with prices being very reasonable and good quality always assured.
