Rochester in north kent has a hotel next to the airport and a pretty nice pub called 'The Tiger moth' just over the road. Its not too far from Chatham & Rochester town centre neither, 5 minutes in a taxi, or 10 in a bus from outside the airfield. -Infact, Maidstone is also only 10 min taxi in the opposite direction (taxi cab i mean, i don't recommend taxiing 7 miles down the dual carriage way lol).
Defo worth ringing the Rochester FISO before departing tho, even if weather says its perfect VFR! as the river medway, 400ft down to the side of the airfield likes chucking mist up making conditions very much IMC.
