The reason I never gave a 5 star is because it needs to be bigger . Mockbeggar is a friend little tea room and farm shop. The food and cakes are great and nice local produce in the farm shop. Great little gem x only just moved into the area and I love it !

Charming Tea Shop and farm shop situated just off the B2000 near Cliffe Woods. Very friendly place; quiet, cosy one might say. Food is excellent, portions are generous and the prices are VERY reasonable. You can eat and drink either indoors in the rustic setting of the refurbished old farm buidings, or outdoors, either on the shady terrace or out in the open. Free parking.

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.

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.

The most perfect wedding venue! Everything is so well run and nothing is too much for the team. Holly was our day manager and she was amazing! From the minute we booked which was only 6 months in advance they were all amazing and so organised. We had the best day we could of ever imagined! I was allowed to have my dream come true of having my horse at my wedding without any hesitation from the venue.

Such a lovely area. Didn't get to go in or to see the castle but from a distance was stunning. Went here for a wedding was top notch. Beautiful surroundings

From the moment I found Cooling Castle Barn online, I had fallen in love with this venue, to the day we viewed we both knew we wanted to book our wedding day here. The team at cooling are some of the most gorgeous people, nothing is too much and they happily answer all of your questions. Holly was our day manager and she a stunning person, she made the whole day run so smoothly alongside Stephen our Toast Master. Without a doubt have their toast master in your wedding day if you can because it takes all of the stress away from you and your bridal party. They know exactly what they need to do and when and it is just the little things that help make you live in the moment. Best day of our lives, stunning venue, amazing food and large portions, party and laugh until your heart is content!! Our Wedding day was in May 2024.

We had our wedding at Cooling Castle Barn on a beautiful Sunday in the summer, and it was amazing. The staff and organisation on the day were spot on (including the great ceremony master) and took a lot of pressure off the maid of honour and rest of the wedding party. We got married in the garden which looked beautiful and needed minimal decoration, and the barn itself felt magical. The food was good (and really pleased they were able to do a customised canapé from my home country). And it was great that our family and close friends could stay in the rooms on side. I would definitely recommend Cooling Castle Barn as a wedding venue to others.

Chloe Caldwell Photography - Cooling Castle Barn is a simply beautiful wedding venue. Surrounded by countryside, the barn itself is a beautiful, elegant setting with an authentic, rustic feel. The staff at Cooling Castle Barn are attentive and welcoming, to guests and suppliers alike. It was a pleasure working alongside them. I can't wait to return for more weddings soon. - Chloe Caldwell Photography

Jon and his team of electricians are so reliable and efficient - he provided a detailed itemised quote, arranged for our job to be done in a timely manner and then helped us out arranging some emergency electric work when we needed it just before Christmas. Would highly recommend to anyone!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

This restaurant is STUNNING. My favourite place I’ve been to so far in Rochester. The only downside (for me) was the lack of main meal options. I’m not a fan of meat, and they only had meat options. The chef did end up making me a vegetarian option which was a cauliflower steak with roasted veg, which was really lovely of him. But I would love for a chicken option. The bruschetta was the best thing I’ve ever flipping tasted like OH MY. And the staff are WONDERFUL.

Very lovely atmosphere for dining out! Excellent service and food was just magnificent. The menu is very versatile and has many options, lots of drinks to choose from too which was great. We didn't have to wait long and the staff made sure we have everything we need. One of the best places to go to if you want a cosy yet exquisite evening. The location is close to Rochester castle so if you want you can have a nice walk after dinner. Me and my partner enjoyed every second. Definitely coming back again for brunch next time!

Great place for authentic Italian food. The pizzas and other food ordered like risotto were very well presented and tasted good. All fresh produce, the service was relaxed and friendly. Good wine selection. It's great for large groups or lone diners. Reasonabley priced too. Clean and well presented. Definitely would recommend visiting here.

What a lovely place for Saturday brunch in Rochester. Very good menu options, including vegan and gluten-free. I enjoyed my pea and mint soup, and the staff was very attentive to my food intolerance. My friend enjoyed vegetarian truffle pastry with veg and mashed potatoes. Very nice and clean restaurant, lovely ambient and staff.
