Went to the Tudor Rose with my father in law one Saturday. We didn’t book and turned up just before the kitchen closed which was a shame but the staff were very nice and told us light bites would be available shortly. They came out with the menus as soon as we could order and the food came out quickly and was very good. We spent quite a few hours there and really enjoyed it. Amazing location, pretty pub, big beer garden, highly recommended.

Beautiful area and pub. Lovely garden and space in the summer months, ducks wondering around the garden while sipping away on a beer. Staff always friendly and the food (quite pricey) is always fresh and on point.

Great service by Soph and Jo enhanced by tasty food, and a cosy traditional pub in a quaint setting. The ladies made extra effort to chat to our children and make them feel special. Alongside the broad menu and specials, there's also a full vegitarian and vegan menu, kids options, and light lunch choices.

Found this little gem by complete accident one Sunday afternoon. The service by the young waitresses is superb, they cannot do enough for you and I felt like nothing was a problem. Had the fish and chips which was a good sized portion and the most delicious homemade baileys cheesecake. Would definitely return.

A nice local. I've given food the benefit of the doubt because we arrived after the kitchen head closed but I'm sure it's lovely. Beer stock is spot on, with a good selection of beers and ciders. Good size garden too. The bar staff were warm and friendly. See you again soon 🍻

Was in the area and looking for somewhere nice for a sit down lunch that wasn’t a chain restaurant. We found this place and it was brilliant, a proper pub! Dogs were welcome inside which was good to see, there is a good selection of drinks at the bar and the menu was well stacked and I was spoilt for choice. The food was great, I had the ham egg and chips which came with peas. The portion sizes were more on the generous side (big win) but what let it down was the portion size of the peas, they literally came in a little dish that you would get sauce brought to your table in, you could have shot it down the hatchet in one. Other than that it was brilliant and I will come back again if I am ever in the area.

Had a large breakfast and more than happy to swap my tomato for a hash brown. Coffee was very tasty and the staff are great. Having the beans in a glass pot is a great idea! My only disappointment is that the mushrooms were tinned instead of fresh.

I’ve been to many cafes in my time, and I can’t believe we actually have a hidden gem in our local town rainham Kent, @tick.tocksrainham what can I say not only the best presentation I have ever seen when it comes down to a omelette it tasted incredible too, it was creamy and flavoursome, the Char on top of the omelette added amazing flavour, the chips were so nice, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the beans just gave it that little bit of flare, I will be definitely coming back with my kids, the prices are really good and affordable, also the staff where amazing so helpful kind and polite, especially towards my kids.

Visited for the first time on Saturday, we didnt book just walked in around lunch time. They were closingbearly for a private event which thry communicated clearly and straight away with their expectations on how long we could stay which was fine by us. The waitress was lovely, attentive, polite and friendly making us feel really welcome. It was clean and tidy and a lovely environment. The food was lovely and a good menu to choose from. Toilet was very clean and spacious. Myself and my mum had a lovely lunch here and will definitely be going back. We didnt have afternoon tea but what we coukd see it looked lovely too! Lovely place to treat yourself to lunch if you want a more upmarket lunch menu for a reasonable price.

Located at Kestrel Rd shopping parade. The cafe is friendly and has a nice vibe. It is quite spacious and when I visited there were several occupied tables. The menu is quite extensive and consists of typical cafe fare. Cooked breakfasts,burgers , sandwiches,panini's etc. There are some vegetarian options too. I had a cappuccino which was very nice and to eat a fried egg sandwich. The bread was fresh and the eggs cooked nicely. The prices were fair and an average of what I have seen in the area. 30/09/24: Good breakfast today, for £8.30 you get a huge plate of food. I'm set for the day now.

Best cafe for me!! Love the breakfast but also love the lunch, staff are so friendly and they can't do enough for you!! Also tried ordering at home and was so good !! 😁 local to me and come here often. Only one thing I could say is they could do with a deep clean especially round the floors.

Took the Grandkids 5 and 3 to see Father Christmas and they loved it. There were things for them to do like making food for reindeer and riding on the Santa Express as well as seeing the animals. This was good as like many children the 3 year old wasn't very keen on Father Christmas!!

Excellent value food and polite staff. The deserts in particular were amazing good and great value. We were a large group of 16 yet food came out very quickly and was nicely cooked. The zoo animals were well cared for and kept everyone interested for about 1hr.

Good food, well cooked - I had poached eggs on toast and the chef came over and apologised because they were slightly overcooked - so he did me 3 more! I was full all day! The breakfasts looked tasty, and the prices very reasonable. Excellent lattes too!

Placed an order through uber eats for delivery, had issues with the delivery. Not the owners fault at all, solely down to the uber delivery driver. Contacted the cafe and they couldn't have been more helpful, contacting uber and requesting for it to be sorted. Ending up sorting the food between us (myself and the store) Excellent customer service, amazing food. Definitely going to be ordering again, maybe through a different delivery company this time!

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.

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.

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.

Went here this afternoon for the first time with my daughter and met my son and his girlfriend. We all had a very enjoyable afternoon. The pub had a good vibe and live singer outside added to a great atmosphere. Myself and my daughter had a ploughman's to share and it has to be one of the best ploughman's I have ever had, loads on it and all well presented and delicious. My son and his girlfriend had lamb shank cottage pie which was equally good. Very good value, lovely pub and will definitely be back, highly recommend.
