The Best Cafes in Chattenden, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

I came in on a whim with my wife because we fancied a proper full English and there is no better description for what we got than a proper full English! At £10 for “the works” every part of this breakfast tastes fantastic and is enough for the hungriest of visitors For the size and taste of this breakfast and the price, Sue’s crafty cafe is a hidden gem and Sue is the diamond at the heart of it! Absolutely worth a visit

Hands down, this is the best English breakfast I have ever had. Highly recommended!

First time coming here and I would definitely come back again, food was amazing, cafe was very cosy and Sue is lovely. Great customer service x

Came here for a quick breakfast, the food was lovely but it took a ridiculously long time considering there wasn’t many people. The atmosphere was very weird felt like I was not welcome as some of the residents were very rude and hostile towards me and I’ve never felt that any where else.

I love the tradition of All Day Breakfast, sitting in old English house, surrounded by China & Shabby Chic decor like Mrs Tickit’s Pantry. The lady owner is Superb. Food is quite good in Price & Quality. I wish the milk should have been warm to compliment the black tea.

Really enjoyed our visit to Mrs Tickit's Pantry. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was really nice. The rarebit with poached eggs was particularly impressive. Tea served in a lovely teapot, cup and saucer. The bathroom has a little built in stove in it which is quite unusual!

My favourite place in Rochester! Sarah the owner is just lovely, the whole team could not do more for you! Food is delicious, cakes, breakfast, sandwiches etc fresh and home cooked, simple and reasonable! Lovely little quaint tea room, this place has everything you need! We have been many Times and will continue to do so, it's a wonderful little gem, don't visit without trying the cakes they have to offer!

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.

Really enjoyed my ham and cheese croissant with salad garnish and crisps on Friday 16th February. I also had the Turkish Delight hot chocolate which was out of this world! Will definitely be back and tell my friends to check Lenny’s out.

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.

Very cosy new Lenny’s right next to the Eastgate house and near the Rochester train station. The lady who served us was very friendly and welcoming. A very nice atmosphere here. We had a regular latte and Ice frappe which were amazing, will definitely be visiting again!

Lovely little caf. Great service and friendly staff. Big portions 😁 3 adult brekkies (delicious coffee included in price) , one kids meal, 2 milkshakes 👌🏼Highly recommend the banana flavour!!!

Staff are so lovely and friendly. Food was tasty too and came out quickly. Highly recommend

Cracking cafe, staff, food, prices and a friendly atmosphere. First class hospitality and service right across the board. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Very tasty food. Wide selection. Great place for breakfast, lunch. There are tables for small children. You can spend an hour reading interesting books. Clean, comfortable. You will always be greeted with a smile.

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 place, great service, and one of the best jacket potatoes.❤️ Definitely, we will be back.

Lovely helpful staff. Very reasonable prices. We had focus breakfast, it's was good. Very casual. Dogs allowed. Picnic tables near a pond, ducks etc. Free parking. Did the job 👍

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

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.

By far the best hot chocolate in Rochester! Delicious toasties - highly recommend the goats cheese one and a great friendly service from Abi & Skye.

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.

Went here for afternoon tea. Prices around $25/person You get a choice of 6 sandwiches divided into smaller bite sizes for your group and an assortment of desserts and a drink of choice. The service and the atmosphere were great. The desserts were amazing. The sandwiches were not good at all in my opinion. I might just be a picky person but there was so much sauce and they all tasted the same and not different enough. Too much mayo for sure and it just wasn’t my cup of tea at all. I don’t think many Americans would like it. And even my British friend said it had too much sauce. I left and for myself another sandwich at a shop nearby haha but again might just be my personal taste buds.

Went in to Tiny Tim’s for cream tea (7.5£). There was plenty of seating available- and the staff were full of hospitality and kindness. The tea room has a old school feel- with nicely done interiors. The tea room carried its history with it- and is right next to the Car Park. There is some outdoor seating as well (depending on the weather). The scones were delicious and warm- and the cream and strawberry jam added to its charm. The pot tea was one of the best I have had in a while- was flavourful and delish. The only thing- the crockery looked worn-out and could be replaced (maybe it’s because of the old world charm that they were still used). Would visit again. Thanks.

What a lovely little find! We had 2 afternoon teas which were fab! Lovely cakes, sandwiches were really nice, hot chocolate was also fab! Highly recommend! Also lovely staff that were very accommodating with our little ones and our daughter had her first jam sandwich which she loved so thank you!

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!

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.

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.

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!
