Absolutely fantastic food! Generous portion sizes, good quality ingredients and delicious flavours. Food was clearly cooked fresh to order. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Cosy atmosphere which was just what we wanted. Very reasonably priced too - what's not to like? Our new favourite place to eat ❤️

Sunday roast is worth the trip. Plenty of meat and seasonal veg. The chocolate brownie is a MUST for any chocolate lover.

Atmosphere was nice, had just opened so not busy and had music playing. Service was great once we were in. Now the food. Mrs MC said they were the best sausages she's ever had. I had the vegetable pie, half expecting one of those store bought in foil pies. It was absolutely amazing. Honestly couldn't fault it, properly homemade and delicious. The veg mix was great, gravy great, mash buttery. Loved it

Was looking for a gastropub and this place was suggested on Google, and it didn’t disappoint. A quaint and local pub for a lovely lunch with mum. All fresh food, cooked very very well, and decent sized portions. We had the pate to start, sea bass with salsa verde for main and sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert. The pudding was so soft and fresh. There were good veggie and vegan options available too. Free parking literally opposite the pub.

We had booked a family meal for 13 people and We all chose the roast dinner as our main meal. The portion was great and it was nice and hot with a great selection of vegetables . They could not do enough to accommodate us, and the food was 10 out of 10. we will definitely will be returning.

Went here for a date night and had a great time. The food was amazing and the drinks were more than affordable. The staff gave great service, we’ll definitely be coming back. The Confit Pork Belly and the Lobster Thermador were the stars of the show. The Thai Prawns were cooked perfectly.

Went to Brettington’s to celebrate a special occasion. Food was good but not spectacular. The steak was “medium well” instead of “medium rare”. Noticed it and called the attention of the wait staff. They quickly sent it back and got the order replaced. This time it came out exactly how I wanted it. My only let down was the mashed potato which came out quite stuff. Not creamy like you’d expect in a fine establishment. I must add that the king prawn starter is a must have. Very delicious. The staff were also very nice and lovely.

As always, top drawer... Doesn't matter whether I'm popping in on my own for a quick main course after football on a Saturday, or whether I'm in company - the warmth of the welcome from Ruta and her team is only matched by the quality of the food. - the two course lunch menu is extremely good value.

Absolutely brilliant, I had the big one burger. It was beautiful. All the burgers were well seasoned and super tasty. All food came out hot and tasting exactly as I imagined. Brilliant service. Would definitely recommend if you want a family friendly restaurant with good food. I didn't get any pics, as soon as it came out it looked so good, I just tucked straight in.

A great meal. Menu clearly labelled for gluten free and vegetarians. Comfortable seating. We were served by the lovely Ray who was friendly and efficient, made sure we had everything we needed and checked we were enjoying the food. A most enjoyable lunch.

I went to The Quills for the first time with my colleagues for a Christmas lunch. It’s a nice, clean restaurant. The staff were friendly, and the service was very professional. I had steak with potato fries and vegetables. There could have been fewer fries and more vegetables, but overall, we had a lovely time. 🙋🏼‍♀️🍀🎄

We’ve been coming here for months & it is a firm favourite in our household, the coffee is always delicious and the staff are friendly. It’s usually busy, but if you can score a table outside it’s great for people watching & dog spotting in the sunshine! Would recommend a visit for sure.

Have visited here on a couple of occasions and there’s a cosy yet vibing atmosphere. The Caramel lattes are so lovely and go down well with a cheeky Chocolate muffin. The service is really great from all staff. Being a wheelchair user wasn’t a problem for us unless it gets really busy which it does at usual peak times. Well worth a visit and the staff sure make you feel welcome.

The coffee, service, cakes and atmosphere are great at this independent coffee shop. The ready-made snacks are variable, but don't let that put you off, it's a coffee shop! Also, there's no WiFi, and mobile signal is weak inside, so if you want to have a conversation, this is the place!

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.

The staff here were phenomenal. The service was impeccable. The food was exquisite. We were only going to buy a cake but we were welcomed so warmly with our little girl that we decided to stop and eat and we are so glad we did. It was so clean and every member of staff greeted us when they passed us. Our food was cooked exactly how we asked for it. The choice of sandwiches and cakes on offer was really impressive. We will definitely be back!

Went for afternoon tea and had a lovely selection of food. You get to choose your sandwich fillings you would like from their huge range they do and comes with sausage rolls, lots of cakes and scones with jam and cream. We couldn’t eat it all so they supplied boxes for us to take it home in.

Visited today late afternoon and will certainly return. The Samosa tasted particularly delicious but also enjoyed a pasty & Panini which were great plus drinks. Grabbed a Belgium bun & a slice of chocolate to go as we left and they too were great. Attentive service including recommendations as there were so many cakes we struggled to choose.

I stopped here with family to enjoy the Rochester high street, and it was a really great experience. The staff were so kind and friendly, and made us feel catered to and welcome. The food is really good value for money as well and the upstairs section has good views and a nice atmosphere. Lenny’s is a good cafe for families and those with kids as well. I would definitely recommend this cafe for those in need of an affordable, quick lunch or coffee break without the huge wait times of other cafes up the high street.

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.

Lovely park. Safe to let dogs off lead to run over open fields and explore woods. Ruin of very old house. Cafe is dig friendly with lovely staff and good food. Can sit outside and eat looking out over lake. Cafe sells duck food and doggie and human ice cream. Free car park and outdoor play equipment. Adult outdoor gym equipment in woods. Great place

This place was absolutely lovely, delicious authentic tasting Portuguese food and wonderful service! We went here on a whim on a walk in Upnor and it really is a hidden gem. The atmosphere was lively but cosy. We got free shots before AND after our meal! The House Special is a really good deal because not only do you get one of the massive skewers, you also get olives and starters, 3 sides and a dessert! We had the lamb and the tofu veg skewers and we were absolutely stuffed after everything at the end. It was all deliciously grilled as well. The flaming chorizo was wonderful and fun. The molotof whipped egg dessert was fluffy and delightful. We chatted to the waiter Antonio after and he was so friendly, mature and polite and told us all about the restaurant. We will definitely be coming here again and bringing our friends, it was amazing value for money and the food was absolutely stunning!

A fantastic spot for both food and drinks, with unique rooms that are worth exploring. If it’s your first visit, I highly recommend checking out the Vault Room and the Infinity Bar, and don’t miss the lovely garden. I had the full English breakfast, which was delicious, though the beans tasted a bit off, so I left them. The staff were attentive and even gave me a discount for the beans. Overall, first-class service, and I would definitely return!

I had a group booking of about 25 for Sunday lunch, it was my choir, and we were singing in the cathedral. The atmosphere in the Vaults is wonderful, you feel you are in a mediaeval Monastery refectory. The food was lovely, not an absolutely champion Sunday roast, but tasty, well served, with particularly beautifully done slightly pink beef. The team were very accommodating and helpful both when planning at all and serving it. We had a lovely time and I recommend it warmly.

Had a lovely family Sunday lunch at the Ship & Trades today. Great service, very professional and attentive. The meals were excellent. The beef was tender and tasty. Feedback from the others were that the fish & chips, pie & mash and pizza's for the kids were very good. Ours thank to Rebecca and her staff for making us all very welcome. I would certainly recommend this venue, and we will be returning. P.s Don't forget to register your vehicle reg for parking when you walk in. Tablets to do so are available at the bar, and at the entrance to the restaurant.

A lovely location situated by the marina. Don't be put off by the first sight of the building - we thought it looked like an old run down warehouse but then perhaps that was the idea! Reception was dark and gloomy (and unmanned - we waited ages before someone turned up) also the corridors are a bit dismal but again maybe because keeping the authentication of the building? Food was excellent with a good choice and sensible prices. Very popular with the locals. We found our room to be a bit small but it was well stocked, clean and had a lovely view of the marina.
