Rating: 4.9 (98) Price Level:
Service was very pleasant and the food was nicely cooked, the tea room is a bit on the small side and there is not a lot of parking, apart from that worth a visit.
Rating: 5 / 5
Located on main road through blue bell hill village, a lovely place to have a pit stop & enjoy a lite bite & refreshments, good menu for food & with proper size coffee cups. Reasonable prices, indoor & outdoor tables, small parking area at rear of property. Within a short walk to bluebell hill picnic area with its fantastic views.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely environment, quality food. Not much capacity for larger groups, so you may not be guaranteed a seating on arrival. The food menu is reasonably limited, but what you do get is well presented and quality. Overall a lively calm small business that takes pride in its food and service. Highly recommended. Last of all. There are no off-road parking spaces, so you have to search around nearby for any non yellow lined parking spaces.

Been looking to go here for a while after reading excellent reviews and can say did not disappoint. Lovely and clean, staff friendly and welcoming, seating inside and out. Food was lovely and nice and hot and good value for money, will definitely go back.

Visited for the first time today, we were met with a big smile and great service. My large breakfast was fantastic, good was fresh and hot. My Daughter cannot eat gluten so had to create a breakfast she could eat and the staff were very accommodating. Will definatley revisit.

No.64 Coffee & Brunch
64 High St, Chatham ME4 4DS, UK | Coffee Shop P: 01634 786080
Rating: 4.9 (101) Price Level:
No.64 is a gem of a café! The service is outstanding, with warm and friendly owners who always take the time to chat and make you feel welcome. The food is delicious, like homemade comfort on a plate, and their freshly made pastries are a real treat. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and beautifully inviting. Highly recommend!

I’ve popped in here a few times for brunch or lunch, and the staff are always lovely. Everything is freshly cooked and well-priced. They also have a free little library, and exhibit art from local artists. Highly recommend No 64 for dining in or takeaway. The bacon brunch toastie is God-tier.
Rating: 5 / 5
The staff in here are wonderful. We came in this afternoon and our cousin (who has learning disabilities) really, really wanted a full English. They had stopped serving breakfast but these lovely ladies kindly made him his favourite!! They treated him with such kindness and respect, and even let him use the staff toilets. Lovely food and great coffee, the New York deli toastie was incredible. Highly recommend! 😁

Googled a coffee shop as I was in the area, this adorable coffee shop came up first so I gave it a try. WOW it’s a gorgeous little venue, with the most amazing cakes and homemade sausage rolls. Staff are very lovely introducing themselves and asking my name when I said I’ll be regular due to being in the area twice a week until February. Sat on the side table working and everyone that came in was on first name terms so are regulars, it was so lovely to see. I’ll be back next week, thank you ladies

Lovely little coffee shop with some of the best brownies I have ever tasted! My go to if I want to give a sweet treat as a gift as they sell them in presentation boxes. Great sandwiches with interesting fillings plus vegan options and oh my word. The sausage rolls. Big thumbs up from me

Nibbles
Nibbles, Rye Road, Newenden, Cranbrook TN18 5PN, UK | Cafe P: 07484 866299
Rating: 4.9 (168) Price Level:
Nibbles is a fantastic café in a beautiful spot, run by the wonderful Dave and Lindsey. The food is spot on - big, delicious breakfasts and top notch café style foods - overlooking the sports pitch and a few moments from the ‘excellent rated water quality’ river Rother. On the border of Kent and East Sussex, Nibbles is a great place to come with family and friends to enjoy the food and surroundings. Highly recommended.

Came all the way from Belgium and stumbled upon the gorgeous place to have a real English Breakfast. The food is AMAZING, place is cozy and very clean. Had a lovely chat with the owners of the place and gave me some good tips for my further travel inside the UK. I can recommend this place for everyone and bike enthousiast. Ill def come back for this breakfast all the way out of Belgium !!

Lovely lil streetside café, went there for Sunday brunch and managed to make a "pick your own" vegan breakfast with some nice options. Oat and soya milk available, as well as Jimmy's iced coffee with Oat milk. They also get in a vegan cake daily too, had the lemon one and it was DELICIOUS! Well baked and moist. The chef (and possibly the owner) came out and had a couple of chats with us, he seems lovely. We'll be back regularly I suspect.

Came here with my two dogs on the second day of the opening under the new owner. Love the decor. Dog bowls on the floor, free dog treats and tables and chairs outside with lovely throws to use. I had a really tasty jacket potato and a beautiful home made cake. Has a good selection of gluten free and vegan options of savoury and sweet items. Throughly recommend
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely vegan breakfast 😀 Will certainly be going back again. Friendly staff and a great selection of vegan cakes too! Dog friendly also which always gets bonus points in my opinion! Highly recommend.

Went here for breakfast. Dog friendly cafe. Had the 'Hair of the Hound' full English breakfast which was ok. Wife had Gluton Free (GF bread was not good). Fast service and Friendly staff. Recommendations: clean the windows from the cobwebs and flys, not nice when your eating.
Rating: 4 / 5
A far cry from a truckers café, this local coffee house offers a cosy seating area with a modest menu. The interior is well decorated. There is a standard selection of hot items with a range of cakes that also cater to vegan requirements. Parking is easily found on the road, or it's a walk away for local residents who tend to come here and socialise in small groups. Prices are what you would expect.

We all had a lovely afternoon tea at Baskervilles Coffee House. The traditional tea had a good selection of savoury and sweet treats. The child's tea also had a good selection, having changed the sandwich fillings to known favourites. Our dog certainly enjoyed her afternoon tea too and it was great to be able to give her something designed for her instead of snuffling our sausage rolls. The staff were really happy, polite and chatty. This is a wonderful little coffee shop and a great place to visit if you want to sit with your dog.

Nucleus Arts Centre & Cafe Nucleus

Rating: 4.7 (721) Price Level:
This was my first time visiting Cafe Nucleus, and will definitely be the first of many visits! Quick and friendly service, excellent food, and a lovely atmosphere to dine in. What a treasure hidden just off Chatham high street. It’s a dog-friendly place too so if you have dogs, definitely head here. They even have a dog menu (I don’t have a dog myself so can’t provide much insight on that). Kind of pricey, but worth it
Rating: 5 / 5
We have visited Nucleus Rochester in the past, and Necleus Chatham is a charming restaurant and forecourt. Great atmosphere and food was great with quality ingredients. The server Lillie Rose was very welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended to support local and will surely return

The best breakfast I’ve had in years !!! Doreen’s Blackpudding is a revelation (already bought some on line!). Staff are superb and the places is immaculate. Fantastic !!
Rating: 5 / 5
What a Gem! Can’t believe I’ve never been here before. They really know how to professionally run a cafe. The service was great, the food was delicious and well priced. We had warm scones, clotted cream and jam with coffees. The oat latte was made perfectly and we can’t wait to come back. They gave us promotional discounts for their Sunday roast and breakfast options. Will return, thank you!

You would never think you was on Chatham High Street, I felt like I was in a lounge on the Costa del Sol. The food was amazing, fresh, full of flavour and presentation was awesome. Staff are very attentive and very welcoming, we only came for a light bite and we are coming back again for the Sunday roast!!

A wonderful little tea room on the side of the garden centre. Very cosy and friendly. A nice quiet spot for a bit of lunch! My full English was delicious 😊. The antiques shop was also lovely too!

My mum and I came here the other day after realising that a new nearby farm shop didn’t have an eat inside area. In fact someone at the farm shop recommended it to me. Lovely staff, great coffee, homemade cakes, excellent service… was really impressed and will definitely be back!

Me and my husband have made a Christmas tradition of coming here for breakfast every year when we buy our tree! It’s been about 5 years and we still love the food and the atmosphere 😊 they always have mismatch crockery and different salt shaker sets on each table and it’s too cute! The service has always been fantastic and you can tell that they use quality, local produce and really fresh bread. If it ever closes down we will be heart broken!

Fab tearoom! Very clean, and ample room for wheelchair access. Friendly and accommodating staff. The menu is comprehensive and the food is amazing! So much more than a tea room… highly recommend a visit.

Cafe Riviera

Rating: 4.5 (323) Price Level:
Nice breakfast, I opted for a set breakfast of sausage, two rashers of bacon, chips, beans, toast and a fried egg along with a can of drink for £9.00. Some of the chips were a little overcooked/crunchy but the rest of the breakfast was nice. They operate a loyalty scheme of a free meal once you have collected 8 stamps from paid meals, they have the same offer regarding drinks too. They have customer toilets which were clean and in decent condition. If you found this review helpful please click on the heart icon, thanks.

What can I say…. This cafe is amazing . Popped in while walking past and ordered 2 set breakfasts and two cans of cherry coke. Our order was taken by a attentive waitress and when the food turned up it was just what we needed , not greasy and cooked to perfection. Keep up the good work cafe Riviera . Five ⭐️

Lovely place good for a meal with the fellas, lovely atmosphere, only have two issues. 1. Chips are slightly overcooked but still are delicious. 2. The playlist needs a little more reggae

This was my first time at base camp, we went for the Easter egg hunt which was great fun for the kids. The play park there is superb ! Love the tree house/slide and the sand pit! Could have stayed there for hours. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are extremely kind and friendly.

Visited for the first time for a late lunch. The friendliest 4 ladies serving! Lovey place with lots of different rooms. Tables, comfy armchairs, big sofas and a kids play section with ample toys and books. Food was lovely, felt v homecooked. Had a sausage and onion toastie, steak pie with mash and veg and the kids and spaghetti on toast. All reasonably priced. There’s also a big wooden play ground outside with a tree house. Big free car park at the back of the house just off Hall Road. Will be back!

Been here a few times and never disappoints. Staff are really friendly, food and drinks are lovey - definitely recommend the breakfast special on the blackboard. Good little play corner for toddlers inside (and even my 5 and 7 year old girls). And outdoor playground provides them with entertainment too. I always recommend this place to people as a nice friendly cafe to go to.

Great place to visit for a snack and a hot drink whilst on a ride or walk. Recommend the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A lot of building works have been completed recently so the area is looking fresh and welcoming with a new outside seating and canopy incase it’s raining. Thanks again for the great hospitality
Rating: 5 / 5
Fantastic place to stop for coffee and a snack if out walking or mountain bike riding like I was today. Had a flat white - was excellent as was the sausage roll. This will now be my preferred mid ride stop for this route. Blankets available with outside seating so you can enjoy a coffee even on those chillier days. Stopped by again a few days after this review mid ride. Coffee and steak pasty excellent. Really pleasant place to rest for a while by the river. PS be sure to look out for the bold as brass Robin who likes to snack on cake crumbs etc! June 2022 update - seats and chairs upgraded - this place continues to impress!

Lovely staff and lovely venue to sit and watch the world go by. Great for four-legged friends as well. Always have a sausage roll and a drink whilst the dog has a ice cream. Can get very busy at times as it's a very popular place.

A favourite place to walk to, have a coffee and chill. It’s a perfect location, friendly staff and high quality food. For such a tiny place they do amazingly well. I’ve introduced many people to this little gem. The dog biscuits are genius. My dog won’t walk past without joining the queue for her biscuit so our furry friends approve too!!

Rating: 4.6 (598) Price Level:
If you have had enough of the hustle and bustle of city life, come here to escape it all. The air is fresh, the sounds of nature like a concerto of birdsong and breeze and the views are breathtaking. The only things that spoil this wonderful piece of the outdoors are the houses and factories that blight the landscape. Humans ruin everything.
Rating: 5 / 5
Fabulous views from the picnic site. If you're having a picnic, don't do it on a windy day as your picnic will likely end up in the North Sea/Channel. Walking trails are very uneven so wear proper walking boots. Mixture of trails: downhill/uphill/level. Uphill trails are not suitable for unfit people. Most of the walking trails are mercifully dog-poo free though you still have to be careful not to step into something unpleasant. Also lots of horse manure about (nearby stables). Great walking though on a dry day in spring. Lots of nice wild flowers too.
Rating: 5 / 5
Beautiful views across our county from here! There is a footpath (though rugged) that you can wander along too. It can get pretty busy but folk soon disperse along The Downs. Great spot for a picnic 👍
Rating: 5 / 5
It's actually really nice here, the view is wonderful and you can walk and explore the landscape for miles! Come early though if you plan to walk far as the Carpark is locked in the evening.
Rating: 5 / 5
What a view! This hilltop is a hidden gem for sure. Someone told me to come here and visit and I'm definitely not dissapointed. Great views, free parking and nice walking trails to just soak in nature and fresh air. There are quite a few interesting birds doing some aerobatics in the sky that's quite cool. The car park usually closes at 6pm sharp and the wardens are strict with that so be aware. Bring some drinks and food maybe a pair of binoculars and you could have a nice long walk with some great scenery.
