Kaya Meze bar
106 High St, Rochester ME1 1JT, UK | Turkish Restaurant P: 01634 813319
Rating: 4.4 (569) Price Level:
Great one for lunch with lots of set lunch options. So we ordered several dishes and shared food, so that we could try as many of them. Even if you are not a great fan of spice, you can find something from the menu. Attentive service. They changed the plates and cleaned your table after the appetiser, which I didn’t expect. However, it was really difficult to find a parking slot in Rochester during lunch hour.

This might be the best food available in Rochester!!! We had calamari rings, prawn cocktail and halloumi as starters, lamb casserole, lamb iskender, chicken shish as mains, and Baklava as dessert. Every single dish was amazing! The service was excellent (special shout to Siddharth), and the atmosphere was energetic!!!

A very warm welcome by the staff. My wife and I had lunch from the lunch menu (£15.99) for 2 courses. Absolutely delicious food. We'll presented, but for us, the quantity was far too much....quality was excellent. Definitely recommend this restaurant but be warned.....huge amount of food!!!!
Rating: 5 / 5
Stunning restaurant with amazing staff and the best food in Medway! The guys here looked after us all extremely well and made sure we felt catered for and welcome. The food was absolutely unreal and the cocktails were fantastic. Also catered for children, my daughter loved her non alcoholic cocktail ❤️ Thanks Kaya Meze we’ll be back soon x

First time for me and second for my husband. Starter was really nice but my main was ok, nothing special. I was ordering king prawn something but they didn’t have delivery so I have prawn starter, and was order for 2x for my main, but they give me 3x instead. But unfortunately is not for my liking. It’s not their fault just not for me I guess

Deaf Cat Coffee

Rating: 4.4 (717) Price Level:
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!
Rating: 5 / 5
Great coffee. Good selection of cakes. We love the collection of coffee pots on the wall.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

Cheeky Clucker

Rating: 4.3 (313) Price Level:
Whist the chicken was amazing the wings Wednesday is £15.95 and the 2 cocktails for £10 is now £15.00 (despite no advertising to say this) We arrived at it took ages for the wings to come out. With in 45 mins of our booking we had 4 wings…. We overheard another table complaining about the service. After that it did pick up slightly. There no point further complaining to there servers as its not their fault. The girls serving were lovely and are certainly kept on their toes.

Me and my friend had a great time here. The food was so good and it came so fast but tasted so fresh still. I got garlic butter tenders and she got barbecue wings, it was so delicious. Boyfriend got the one tender that I couldn’t stuff in when I got home and he loved it too. The fried halloumi was so perfect, not greasy at all. The guy at the bar was very friendly and we had a waitress with brown hair, I wish I had asked for her name because she was so nice and her service was great. They had an offer so we did bottomless drinks and we enjoyed all the cocktails, so nice. My friend had finished hers and mine only had a couple sips and was basically ice, I stopped a different waitress and asked if we could get another and she gave me a kinda judgy look and told me to finish the one I had first. I would totally understand if I was taking advantage, but my friends was done, and I had only a couple sips left. And because the cocktails are made fresh they took a moment to make understandably. The waitress that mostly served us later on asked unprompted if we would like another even though we had a few sips left still, because ‘they take a minute’ so I don’t think it’s the restaurant policy. I would still definitely come back here!!

came across the stand at Y NOT festival this weekend and could not fault the place. the food was absolutely amazing and could not have been better value for money. we quickly became regulars and visited a grand total of 10 times in 4 days… the staff were some of the nicest and friendliest people ive ever met. i have a huge amount of respect for them being able to work such long days through the various weather conditions whilst constantly smiling through the flawless work even through injuries! thank you so much for making our festival experience! i only have the highest hopes for the restaurant and hope to visit sometime😁

The food was amazing, we cannot express how flavourful the burgers and the fries were. Fresh food and a great dining area. Service was a bit slow but the staff that was in front of the house were on their own and they bossed it. Must visit and try, well worth the money. Will visit again to try the other flavours.

Rating: 4.4 (1232) Price Level:
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. 🙋🏼♀️🍀🎄

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.
Rating: 5 / 5
I love coming here for my breakfasts and lunches. The food is on point and just right for my speedy breaks from work. The staff are always nice and remember my preferences. They are timely and consistent. I would recommend Quills in Rochester High Street. They never disappoint. Cheers guys.

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.

Had a fantastic time, even though the staff found it funny about my name being Sam Smith 🤣

Lenny's of Rochester
145 High St, Rochester ME1 1EL, UK | Cafe P: 01634 402227
Rating: 4.4 (594) Price Level:
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.
Rating: 4 / 5
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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!
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

Great coffee and toasties. We come here once a week and the service has always been excellent from every single member of staff. Lovely friendly atmosphere.
Rating: 5 / 5
By far the best hot chocolate in Rochester! Delicious toasties - highly recommend the goats cheese one and a great friendly service from Abi & Skye.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

Brettington's Steak and Lobster House
79 High St, The Precinct, Rochester ME1 1LX, UK | Steak House P: 01634 400192
Rating: 4.4 (870) Price Level:
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
Had a lovely meal in the restaurant with family 5 for a special occasion. The foods were brilliant display and taste delicious, specially in steak and lobster, the prices were good with the quality foods we got. Definitely be back again. Thanks for your attentive customers service. We had a great time!
Rating: 5 / 5
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

Sol Y Sombra Tapas
86 High St, The Precinct, Rochester ME1 1JY, UK | Restaurant P: 01634 847776
Rating: 4.4 (216) Price Level:
The restaurant has nice atmosphere. The drinks menu is very good, happy with sangria, wine and cocktail that we ordered. Food is decent as Spanish food is difficult outside of Spain. The olives were plump, sardines were good, but a bit bland. The Spanish tortilla was bland. What saved it for us was the Spanish cheeseboard and the créme catalana, both were really nice.

Rating: 5 / 5
Very friendly staff, service impeccable & of course the food was superb. It felt really cosy when we popped in for a late lunch on our day trip from London yesterday. Portion sizes are fantastic for tapas, very tasty as well, we will definitely be back when we visit again as I can’t wait to have the Belly Pork rice bowl again as it was delicious! Thank you for having us!
Rating: 5 / 5
Really enjoyed the food and drinks here this evening. Friendly service, tasty food and the drinks were made great. We enjoyed the dinner offer, 3 tapas dishes for £19.99, ordered 6 plates and omg we were stuffed! Portions were generous for a tapas restaurant and everything was cooked and tasted so nice! Will be back and would recommend

Rating: 4.1 (1286) Price Level:
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!
