I have used JC Electrical for many years now and they are very responsive, professional and provide a good quality service. It is why I keep using them. James came out to do some work for me over the past 2 days and was polite, professional and thorough. Cannot recommend highly enough

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!)

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!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! What a great impression walking through the door. Lovely cosy Thai restaurant. Koi karp pond and several fish tanks around the restaurant. I walked in at 7pm on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. Really do call and pre book! I had a sharing platter starter, delightful. Main Phad Prik Khing with noodle. Did these hit the spot! What an amazing resturant, great value for money and service was top notch. If I return to Roch this will be the first restaurant on my list!

Had a great lunchtime meal at Thai Four Two in Rochester with friends!, service was friendly, and the food really tasty. Starters: PHLAA KUNG: Grilled King Prawn salad with a fiery Thai-style dressing, full of fresh kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, chili oil, and carrots. Packs a punch! 🌶️🔥 For mains: PLA RADD Prik: Deep-fried cod served with a tasty Thai sweet and sour chili sauce. Musamunn Curry: A mild coconut curry with a subtle sour note, loaded with beef, onions, and potatoes. Coconut Rice: Jasmine rice cooked in rich coconut milk—full of flavor. Phad Thai Noodles: Rice noodles in a homemade sweet & sour sauce, mixed with egg, bean sprouts, carrots, spring onions, ground peanuts, and a squeeze of lemon. Finished of with a bowl of Strawberry ice cream. My top pick was the PHLAA KUNG— flavorful and spicy, which it went will with a cold Singha beer 🍤🍺. Thank you

Amazing service and good. The Thai green and red curries were lovely. Pad Thai was also excellent. Large portions of rice. Excellent value and too this restaurant quality. Best we’ve had in Kent and outside London. Can’t wait to go back. Great service and fitted us in no problem even though it was busy during Dickens Festival.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Fleur de Thé - we coincidentally came on the first day of their Christmas menu, so we blindly had the Christmas Croque Monsieur and the Turkey sage and onion stuffing sourdough sandwich. The Christmas Croque Monsieur was gorgeously decadent - a cheese lovers dream! You absolutely will not need to eat any more, it is so filling in the best way possible. My mother enjoyed the turkey sandwich. Lovely atmosphere, service was prompt, only downside was they ran out of the gluten free cake because it was so popular. Highly recommend this place, lovely to have it in Medway, and will return. It initially seems expensive for Medway but the quality is excellent and so worth it.

Had a lovely time with my Sister & Daughter. Celebrating my Sisters 60th birthday. We had a warm welcome even though we were early the staff were very accommodating. Food was lovely and bottomless drinks cold and hot to be had. The only thing that was lacking was some soft music in the background would give it more atmosphere.

Fantastic bar/pub/grill! The food is amazing and I feel like no matter what your choice, you will love what you have but at the same time wish you had what someone else is. Everything on the menu looks great. The portions are more than enough, the side of beef Nik Naks was a surprise delight too. Staff are friendly and can tell they like being there and seeing the reactions from people who aren't expecting the sizes of what they ordered.

Great place if you want to experience an unique burger with good quality if meat. Everything we ordered tak away was very tasty. Portion sizes were good too. Prices seem fair for the quality. This is also a great spot to go and enjoy a pint with friends. I do recommend.

Sat on a stool at the bar, with football in front and behind on the big screens, but thatbwas fine. I was staying nearby, mainly for work, and found this bar. It stood out (not so much else locally in terms of food). And walking to the bar, everywhere else was very quiet. And then somewhere, with a buzz ... The Dead Pigeon!! The burger was really excellent. Friendly service, good prices. A delivery guy has been waiting a while for a takeaway, and staff, spontaneously, offered him a drink for it taking so long. Nice touch. Nice attitude. If I stay nearby again, I'd come back. Recommended.

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

Dinner with friends at this restaurant last Saturday. Lovely restaurant on 3 floors with spiral staircase unfortunately food didn't live up to the tasteful decor of the restaurant - both my starter and main course were bland and the lemon meringue pie was an overwhelming portion of sweet meringue and very little lemon to balance it! Our Waitress Barbara was an absolute delight which is why I have rated 4* overall

Have walked past loads of times thinking "should go there some time" now after going I think what was I thinking not going sooner! Fantastic food, fairly priced. The Seabas ceviche I had is genuinely one of the nicest things I've eaten in a very long time. My Hake from the specials was great as was my wife's scallops starter and hake with muscles and clams. Fish cooked to perfection 👌 We never had deserts as was too stuffed but what we saw come out for others looked equally as good. Can't wait to go back. Keep up the great work.
