I popped in here while our car was getting new tyres fitted. I meant to have a coffee but I was hungry so why not eat, I thought. I got set breakfast 1. It was all perfectly prepared and very tasty. The flat white and espresso coffees I had were excellent too. The vibe was definitely friendly and very welcoming. I was alone but there were various friends meeting up for coffees, food, and a chat. This place is perfectly named. I'll visit again. You should go too.

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!

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.

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.

Another great breakfast at this local cafe on The Delce,Rochester. Packed out on Mother's Day but they remained cheery and still served up some great traditional fry ups, omelettes and more. Perfect fried breakfast today 08/02/24. Crispy Bacon 🥓 mmm. 18/07/24 Took my aunt in for lunch and also got a nice takeaway pie,mash and peas for another relation. The portion was very large and was only £7.50

First time visiting The Cheese Room and it did not disappoint. The menu was a set one 2 course £27 or 3 courses for £34. You could also choose toasted sandwiches and lighter lunches. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We were able to settle down and browse the menu without being interrupted. We had the 2 courses and had Beef Roast with Yorkshire pudding and amazing potaotes, veg was carrots, parsnip, beetroot and squash all roasted. We also ordered cauliflower cheese which is £6 for 2 people. It was lovely to have cauliflower that was cooked and not raw. The pudding we had was out of this world and couldn't fault anything, we had the cheesecake. It was more on the expensive side than i would usually pay, but it was so worth it. Service charge of 10% is automatically added and this is advertised on their website. Was a lovely experience but would recommend booking.

Went here for lunch with my boyfriend and it is a beautiful quaint place to eat with a very lovely atmosphere. The food was good and the cheese platter we had was nice. The service was also good and the staff were pleasant. Would recommend for a different place to eat in the lovely town of Rochester.

Being a cheese lover myself I was excited to visit this place. The Cheese Room, located near Rochester Castle, is a charming restaurant specializing in all things cheese. The venue is in an old building with both indoor and outdoor seating, which adds to its character. We opted to sit outside, but the tables are a bit small, especially since the plates are quite large. The menu offers a great variety of cheeses, and we enjoyed the British Cheese Board and I tried the pesto sourdough sandwich. The food was good, but the service could have been more organized. It took a while to receive the menu, and when it came time to pay, we ended up going to the bar as we were in a hurry. The ladies' toilet, while clean, is quite small and a bit tricky to find. Overall, despite a few minor issues, we had a lovely time and would recommend it for cheese lovers!

Visited on a Sunday for my Daughter’s birthday and had a great time . Large selection on the menu including non cheese . I had British Cheese board , my daughter continental board , Mrs C Camembert and youngest Fish & Chips with some sides was an excellent start. Very extensive drinks menu and we finished with dessert and I have to say the Sticky Toffee pudding was the best I had . For 5 of us including service £180. Staff very friendly and attentive and would definitely visit again .

Right next to the castle in a 16th century building, I couldn't fault the food at a very reasonable price. There inside and outside seating and booking inside is recommended. I had a sour bread toasty and shared some triple cooked chips. Both food and setting are first rate.

Really beautiful inside and out, lovely cleans and bright inside. Outside has the most beautiful view of the river and so hidden away that I have only just came across this lovely place through a friend. enjoyed a glass of red. The staff are very friendly and guided me through the menu. I would like to see more for plant based/ vegans such as the mushrooms could very easily have the cheese sauce separate, so that it could be an option for vegans or non vegans. I had chips, veggie Indian style barji like things that were nice, olives and bread. My friend got the Sunday carvery and really enjoyed the options. The vegan pies where finished or I would of got the same. I'm still unsure about parking as I did see a few restrictions due to being near the station so would have to call up about that. There are a few designated spaces. Overall would definitely come back with a group of friends 😊

I hosted my partners 30th here and it was such a great venue! The food was great and they catered for gluten free. Their in house DJ was really good and everyone has such a good time! They even went out of their way to go to the shops to buy a certain spirit that my mum drinks!! Thank you again! (We have also eaten here separately to the party as well and know the food is nice!)

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!

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

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.

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.

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.
