Brilliant lunch-time dining experience with highly attentive service, friendly staff and impeccable dishes in a very pleasant dining room. The lunch specials were each very impressive and incredible value for money. The dockyard area nearby was additionally very scenic. Highly recommended, will be back again!

We were gifted some vouchers for a treat. What a discovery - set in an old, refurbished industrial building with a contempt atmosphere. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. Nice drinks menu with local spirits and wines, and some interesting cocktails including non-alcoholic options.

We started on the cocktail making class before hand and what an experience, definitely need a taxi after that. Straight into the beautiful restaurant, all the staff were very attentive and accommodating to our needs. Only reason for the 4 stars was they didn't have any oysters and we were looking forward to those but do not let that deter you. Definitely a gem of a place.

The pumproom is the perfect place for an occasion. It’s on the pricier side, but it’s honestly worth every penny! We went for our wedding anniversary and had put it on the booking form. They welcomed us with a card on the table, we had a free cocktail and some fudge at the end of the meal too. The staff were lovely and so knowledgeable about everything on the menu. We had every course going and the flavours in every part were beautiful. Lots of combinations you wouldn’t necessarily find elsewhere, the bone marrow fondue was our absolute highlight. The cocktails menu is extensive and there’s loads with alcohols from the distillery to choose from. It’s also lovely to have the view out onto the river with Upnor castle in the distance. Such a gem to find in Chatham, we loved it!

I first discovered the Copper Rivet strawberry gin, which I liked so much I researched and found out about the distillery and restaurant along the river in Chatham.. and I had to experience dining at the place that made such a good quality gin. We were not disappointed.. quality cocktails, service and food.. you do pay a bit more but for a special occasion it’s just perfect.. first we had drinks outside with lovely views along the river, and blankets provided in case it gets chilly (we actually had a bit of sun!!).. and then inside the amazing building for dinner.. the food blew us away and my husband told the waitress he wanted to marry the chef 😂 which I totally understood… will definitely go back and look forward to it! And the triple cooked chips which we will have with whatever we order..

We visited one evening and popped in with the hope of getting a table without booking. The owners were friendly, welcoming, and couldn't do enough to help. They were genuine people, and this definitely added to our experience. I was on a strict diet, and they helped cater to my needs without issue. Another plus! When the food arrived, I can honestly say it was one of the nicest burgers I have ever tasted. Everything was cooked with time and care, it certainly showed in every meal. We will definitely be back for more when next in Rochester. This is a real gem of a restaurant that needs the support of all! Highly recommended 👌 Update - we visited again 05.10.24 and had another fantastic meal. Salads were delicious and staff very friendly, just as our first visit. We'll definitely be back!

We visited @smoque at the Rochester location and the burgers were delicious 🤤 The owners John & his partner were lovely and very welcoming I had the Smoque with a QC burger Hubby had the Grim Reaper burger and we had loaded fries with pulled pork and bbq sauce The burgers were fully loaded and so filling the loaded fries were yummy but the portion size was smaller then what we have had at other places and more expensive, you also had to pay extra if you want additional toppings To drink I had the Baileys chocolate milkshake & hubby had the cider Overall it was yummy 😋 and we recommend 💯 Look at the smile on my face 😂

Great food. We had the smashin burger and it was DELICIOUS. unfortunately burgers don’t come with fries. The restaurant is lovely and the staff is super nice. The place is a bit small, they don’t have many tables so I would recommend to book before going.

Had burgers with my family at Smoqe few times and it was delicious every time. We wouldn’t go to have burger anywhere else In Medway but there. Booking is easy and staff is amazing,nothing is too hard for them to make you feel comfortable and happy. Interiors are stylish and clean which is very important to us. We will definitely be back and i highly recommend this restaurant.

Great place for authentic Italian food. The pizzas and other food ordered like risotto were very well presented and tasted good. All fresh produce, the service was relaxed and friendly. Good wine selection. It's great for large groups or lone diners. Reasonabley priced too. Clean and well presented. Definitely would recommend visiting here.

Located in Rochester town. This was a perfect place for a brunch getaway. The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is luxurious but relaxing. The service was spot on. Of course the food was nice and the produce was fresh. I couldn't fault this place. It's slightly pricey, but you pay what you get for. Highly recommended and will definitely get back. It's one of my new top places.

Very lovely atmosphere for dining out! Excellent service and food was just magnificent. The menu is very versatile and has many options, lots of drinks to choose from too which was great. We didn't have to wait long and the staff made sure we have everything we need. One of the best places to go to if you want a cosy yet exquisite evening. The location is close to Rochester castle so if you want you can have a nice walk after dinner. Me and my partner enjoyed every second. Definitely coming back again for brunch next time!

What a lovely place for Saturday brunch in Rochester. Very good menu options, including vegan and gluten-free. I enjoyed my pea and mint soup, and the staff was very attentive to my food intolerance. My friend enjoyed vegetarian truffle pastry with veg and mashed potatoes. Very nice and clean restaurant, lovely ambient and staff.

This restaurant is STUNNING. My favourite place I’ve been to so far in Rochester. The only downside (for me) was the lack of main meal options. I’m not a fan of meat, and they only had meat options. The chef did end up making me a vegetarian option which was a cauliflower steak with roasted veg, which was really lovely of him. But I would love for a chicken option. The bruschetta was the best thing I’ve ever flipping tasted like OH MY. And the staff are WONDERFUL.

What a find! A stones throw from the main tourist street is Lenny's. Simple food, amazing cakes and sensible prices. Indoor and sheltered outdoor seating ( dogs outside). Beautifully maintained toilets. Afternoon tea, with the trimmings, £5.50!

The poor lady serving was on her own and was very busy, but nothing was too much trouble. A lot of the food had sold out but she managed to get us some bread as our autistic son was fixed on having some toast. Also dog friendly. Would recommend.

Naomi has been so friendly and accommodating arranging a lovely afternoon tea, unfortunately at the last minute we were unable to attend but she boxed everything up for us to make sure we didn’t miss out. We ended up ordering some more food and cakes to takeaway and everything was absolutely delicious! Looking forward to going back for another visit. Would recommend to everyone.

Another great breakfast at this local cafe on The Delce,Rochester. Packed out on Mother's Day but they remained cheery and still served up some great traditional fry ups, omelettes and more. Perfect fried breakfast today 08/02/24. Crispy Bacon 🥓 mmm. 18/07/24 Took my aunt in for lunch and also got a nice takeaway pie,mash and peas for another relation. The portion was very large and was only £7.50

Best place to eat in Rochester, and surely one of the best in Kent too. Food is incredible, and served extremely quickly - the staff are all incredibly friendly and polite, the atmosphere is lovely, and the prices are very reasonable. Would highly recommend the pistachio panna cotta specifically - one of the best desserts I have eaten anywhere at any time. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I'll be back!

I had the No 4 on the set menu and the food was tasty and good value . The bubble, egg, sausage, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, beans and toast was spot on. I also loved the fact that the owners looked after and chatted with the older customers who were in the cafe at the time we visited even though they were very busy.

We visited the Capstone Country Park last weekend. The car parking is free, and it is a beautiful park- where one can feed the ducks. Duck feed can be bought on site. The restaurant served coffee, tea, hot food, some bakery. The prices are very good. Dogs are allowed on leash. There is also a play area for kids- so its a perfect outing for a family. Will visit again.

Although dogs are not allowed at Round Grade Woodland, other areas are safe. We have had a great afternoon there, luckily for us was sunny day too! :)

Amazing coffee shop and great for a light lunch. Two staff gave excellent customer service. We had goats cheese and caramalised union toasty, ham off the bone and cheese sandwhich and salmon and cream cheese special sandwhich. Washed down with 3 glasses of fizz. Very reasonably priced at about £10 per head. Very highly recommended and will be sure to visit next time in Rochester. Value for money. Probably best cafe in the town.
