Plans have been drawn up to transform a rock ‘n’ roll pub into a restaurant.

The Prince of Wales, in Strood High Street, closed its doors for the last time in April and held its final rock and roll night.

The boozer was put up on the market for £650,000 in late 2021 when publicans Peter and Kathleen Gillard decided to call time after more than three decades.

It was well-known as a live music venue hosting rock 'n' roll bands and 50s music with people coming as far away as Hastings to attend.

Peter first bought the pub for £200,000 when he took redundancy from his job as an artist for the Daily Mirror.

On his retirement, avid Only Fools and Horses fan Peter said: "I feel brilliant. We have been there 35 years so we are happy to retire now. We are going to sit on the beach with Del Boy sipping piña coladas."

The new owners have now submitted an application to Medway Council to convert the ground floor of the public house into a restaurant and install a new shop front.

If approved, the applicants will create a bigger dining area, a new kitchen and move the men and women’s toilets.

It will also see the removal of The Prince of Wales sign out the front of the building.

It is not yet been revealed what type of restaurant will be created if the plans are given the green light.
