Café Nucleus Rainham in Medway - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Today 20/8/24 my daughter visited us for her birthday, she lives in Central London and she is very used to expensive dining. We had five latte, two Apple juice, 2 Bacon & Sausage sandwiches, an advocardo and Poached egg on one toast and a French toast with berries. We had 8 Slices of extra bacon, which were as it turned out no less than £2.50 per slice, it was nothing special, very normal, bog standard bacon. When the bill arrived it was £96.00. We were astounded. Its actually extortionate, you are based in Rainham not Mayfair. We queried it with the waitress who suggested that if it was too much we could remove our service charge, However, we certainly could afford to pay and we did. Then we walked out in disbelief.

Food was lovely I really enjoyed it but I came here with my 2 young children and I didn’t realise that they didn’t offer a children’s menu. They got the waffles to share but the waffles were the same as ones you might get from a packet. The ones that have large crystals of sugar in them and for £13 I would expect them to be fresh if I’m honest. Then £8 for 2 apple juices was a bit on the pricy side. My coffee on the other hand was lovely. Over all £38 for 2 meals and 3 drinks after the service and donation was taken off.

This is a really nice place to meet and have a meal. We had lunch and there was lots of choice, from paninis and ploughman's to a full meal. The coffee was also excellent. Very pleasant atmosphere and the staff were helpful and friendly, can't wait to return.

Lovely place in Rainham -- totally at odds with the town! Great food and service but a little pricey. More of a restaurant than cafe but worth visiting.

For brunch it was costly. Delicious Kale smoothie. Service excellent! Tables were a bit small for four of us. Lovely atmosphere. Liked stories in the toilets through the speakers!

It's an awesome place to chill with a latte or go for a meal.

This was my second visit to Café Nucleus, and it continues to impress. The service is excellent, with staff who are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food is of high quality and beautifully presented. The extensive selection of wines and cocktails adds to the dining experience. Café Nucleus is, without a doubt, the best restaurant in Rainham. The exceptionally clean bathrooms, complete with audiobooks, are a nice touch. Highly recommended.

We came for lunch and a coffee. Perhaps we came for the wrong thing. The music is quite loud to have a nice conversation. We had a panini with chips which was nothing special for the price

Great Sunday roast! Good waiting staff. Literally only complaint was it was a bit noisy

Wonderful cafe, with quality food. You get what you pay for. Lovely staff, food and environment. Across all of the venues in chatham, Rochester and rainham

Really nice meal with friends,all in a very nice upstairs area,to ourselves!

A huge thanks to Sophie, Aimee and Justin for a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, and the portions were very generous. Biggest brunch I've ever tried to finish. Couldn't fault anything. The only thing that spoiled the experience was myself (chronic pain).

Amazing, thoughtfully designed atmosphere & incredible food!

Didn't go there. No idea where it is

Came here today with family for Father’s Day Very nice clean cosy place. We sat out the far end downstairs as it was bit too noisey in the front end. The staff are so calm and attentive which is rare these days. Very refreshing and respectful. The food was beautifully cooked and presented in nice hot plates. We had the gorgeous brisket and the French toast with scrambled eggs and maple. All So full of flavour. All our plates were clean. Certainly a lovely class of dining. It would be nice if it opened evenings as the older age group find it hard with children and babies screaming. That way it caters for all age ranges. But all in it was the best meal I’ve had had in ages with the nicest of staff. Many thanks from me and my family

Dinner with my friends was amazing. Food was absolutely lovely .asparagus it’s a yes from me ! Steak was cooked exactly how i asked to be, delicious and tasty .Good selection of wine , cocktails was great too! Brilliant staff .Definitely recommend :)

Went with a friend for Sunday lunch and it was very disappointing. Having been to the one in Rochester i was expecting this to be as good. i opted for the roast beef which i was expecting to come out nice and pink, but unfortunately it was think cut, dry and not tender at all, i even had to ask for a different knife to cut it. My friend had the pork which was slow cooked and was very dry and tasteless. Although you got a big plate full, i think with cheaper Sunday lunch options around the area, they may struggle.

Took my friend here today for lunch for her birthday and was very disappointed. We got seated and was offered a high chair for my friends 2 year old daughter which we took. We then proceeded to look through the menu and realised there was no children's menu so when we came to order we asked if we could just have one scrambled egg and one slice of toast for her. We got told that they couldn't do that she would have to have what's on the menu which is two scrambled egg and toast at the cost of £8.50. I do not understand how they have high chairs but yet do not have a children's menu nor could only cook one egg rather than two. The waitress wasn't very helpful with this. My friend and I both had a panini. I had a tuna melt and she had bacon Brie and cranberry. They was both under toasted and had to be sent back and the Brie wasn't even melted. Cannot believe the food was poor as the restaurant wasn't even busy. I was very disappointed as the restaurant looks lovely, and for the prices, you would expect it to be amazing. Definitely wouldn't recommend going after today's experience!

WOW! From the very moment I stepped into the restaurant I was greeted by very friendly staff. We ordered brunch, from a very tasty selection, and were not disappointed. The food was sumptuous and had a sophisticated flare on the plate. Our waitress, Ame, was very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. She was able to provide information on the locally sourced meal and ensured my food alteration catering to my needs; this was all done with a smile and understanding of my dietary requirements. This is definitely a gem of a restaurant and one that I will be returning to and recommending to others. I cannot wait for my return visit to try the evening menu or just for my brunch treat with friends xx

£48 for breakfast! Noisy atmosphere Me and my sister both had a veggie breakfasts with extra hash brown and an apple juice… if im paying £48 for a breakfast I expect a nice atmosphere and good service. The breakfasts are a normal small size so just way too expensive when lacking the service and atmosphere benefit Its a small place so that time of day a lot of people chatting as tables are close by. I asked if the music could be turned down as I have sensory processing issues and there was a speaker above my head so found it hard to focus on my sister’s conversation. Guy sever just said no and kinda smirked, it would have been better to just say sorry or explain why he couldn’t. I just felt it wasn’t value for money at all. I wont be coming back The breakfast was nice, but my egg was under cooked I just expect a much nicer atmosphere and service when I pay more… next time il go to the many other cheaper places around

Best breakfast around and parking

Lovely little venue, very clean and fancy, food was delicious, a little pricey but portion sizes generous and a lot of locally sourced ingredients so well worth it, large selection of dishes and drinks to chose from, staff were professional and polite, would definitely visit again.

Really lovely place to go in rainham :)

Had a lovely brunch from a good and varied menu Prices are a little higher than average but theres nothing average about any of it. Locally sourced food was excellent as was the service, can thoroughly recommend eating here Will be back soon

Have just enjoyed a wonderful birthday brunch. The food was amazing and our waiter Patrick was polite and efficient. Thank you

Excellent food and a special mention for Patrick's first class service. We will definitely return. Thank you

Had a great lunch here today. We hadn’t been before, but the decor is great, lovely atmosphere and the food was well presented and very flavoursome. But the most memorable part of the experience, has to be the fantastic service. Our waiter, Patryk, was attentive, fun and efficient. Thank you .

Had a lovely brunch with my dear friend today. This was my first visit to Café Nucleus Rainham and I will definitely be back. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and professional.

I had a lovely brunch here with an old friend. Service friendly and attentive and the food was beautifully presented and tasty. A little steep on the prizing for some items though. The atmosphere is dark and moody in the Wine Vault area (where we sat) and the decor feels very high end. I certainly think about returning for a meal at another date. Would have liked to have seen more art for the local area in the dinning space as that is what Nucleus Arts charity is so well known for.

Part of 4 went for brunch for a birthday on a Friday. Very nice food and coffee. Frappe was a bit overpriced considering the size of the glass it came in. Coffee comes in posh glass cups which keeps it so piping hot, I couldn’t drink it for 20 minutes even though I asked for it to be not too hot. I realise this is a personal preference so have not allowed it to impact the star rating. Friendly service otherwise and pleasant atmosphere and environment.

Food was excellent with great service

Didn't expect this restaurant to be situated where it was (does seem a little out-of-place). But you certainly get transported to a different realm once you walk inside. The décor is great, the vibe is warm & friendly, the service very attentive & the food tasted great. What more would you want......we'll I'll tell you...... the soothing voice of Stephen Fry narrating one of his audio books while you're visiting the toilet! Brilliant.

Excellent addition to the Nucleus Cafe brand.

Absolutely wonderful breakfast this morning - the quality of the ingredients was outstanding and everything was perfectly cooked. The service was incredibly friendly, welcoming and efficient. This was our first visit and we can’t wait to return.

We went here for breakfast and it was lovely. We all had the full English and it was high quality and cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and efficient. Would definitely return.

A uniquely stylish combination of bar and coffee shop. Prices are a little high for the area but the food, service and atmosphere were fantastic and I'd love to visit again soon.

Lovely fresh atmosphere with proper food.. good wines and beers.. clean toilets with marble on walls and floors and proper hand flannels to dry hands etc... you get what you pay for as not the cheapest in town but lovely staff and surroundings..

Lovely restaurant with great service. Nice chilled atmosphere. Server Patrik was very attentive.

Lovely atmosphere, great service from Patrick and wonderful company. At these prices not something you could do regularly, but great a special occasion or get together.

Fantastic afternoon at Cafe Nucleus Rainham. Great food, excellent service, Beautiful decor. Thank you Patrick you made us very welcome.

Food was good , however me and my friends noticed , without notification an additional charge on the bill , that was already included on the total when presented. When questioned the additional 2 pound charge , service giver notified us it was for charity additionally to the service charge . Ethically me and my friends expressed customers should be asked at the point of paying if they would like to donate rather than assuming. Me and my friends didn’t have any problems donating , however this was our first time experiencing this at any restaurant as normally charity donations should be opt in or out . In the future I suggest the cafe ask customers if they wish to donate prior to the bill being given, or donate a portion of their service charge to charity?

It looks very good inside and we enjoyed the food and atmosphere plus staff were very attentive/professional.

Very good service and food as with all the Cafe Nucleus locations. Highly recommended.

First time here and was pleasantly surprised. Staff were polite and friendly, food was good

Very good visit here. Will be coming back with friends !

Lovley decorated giving a warm feeling service was good good excellent would visit again slightly pricey but for special occasion worth it

Really good mains, deserts were okay but not exceptional and maybe didn't justify the price for them. Service was great, no service charge automatically added thanks - one thing I'm glad they haven't imported from the 'London' experience without the train they advertise. And the waiter made a point of looking away when passing the card machine with a tip option on it so we didn't feel pressured (we left a cash tip as we prefer to.)

We paid £14 for a prawn sandwich and it only had one layer of small prawns in quite thick bread so all that could be tasted was the bread. My other daughter had the same with her sandwich just one slice of thin meat. So over priced. The setting was lovely though such a shame I don’t want to go back due to the food.

Very pleased with our visit today service first class staff excellent and food really enjoyed it, something on the menu for all tastes would certainly recommend a visit

No option for afternoon tea on why were you here,strange,one of our daughters treated us,beautiful place inside,can’t fault anything with decor,comfort etc. Staff very attentive,afternoon tea was brought up in stages,and you could have drowned in lattes we were offered,settled at 3. Large slice os sausage roll to start,selection of 4 fingers sandwiches,and were offered more,2 huge scones with jam and clotted cream ,selection of cake,macaroons,eclairs etc What more could you want.yes was quiet but we weren’t rushed. Maybe only tiny point,tad orientated towards Chocolate with cakes etc,but didn’t really bother me.and everyone finds a tiny issue. Rumours taking over neighbouring shop to enlarge building. Well done

It was a nice place, I'd recommend booking ahead of time with plenty of time before opening as they may not have it on their hand written timetable. Although this was the case for my partner and I, we were still welcomed with enthusiasm and sat promptly at a table. The food was okay, the way it was brought out to us was fancy which is always a fun touch. Due to the booking confusion, it did feel like it created an awkward atmosphere which was slightly unsettling. Overall, the staff work hard and that's very clear, it's a clean place, welcoming to all and the food is okay. I would recommend giving this place a try. There is free parking and it isn't too far from Rainham (Kent) train station.

Not a great experience, crushed on to a middle table for two. Both my mother and I waited ages to order a drink, ordered the Sauvignon blanc of which cost £50 a bottle ( I don’t mind paying for a good wine ) the wine wasn’t any different from a £10 bottle of wine from the supermarket!! We both had a salad, chicken Caesar salad and a halloumi salad Wow how adventurous the salads were! !! A whole bag of leaves and a few tomatoes 😂 Really!!! Come on guys I had 3 slices of halloumi on my salad a spoonful of mashed avocado not wort the money The Caesar salad was ok still not worth the money Regardless the service was poor, had high expectations as the venue itself looks lovely. Food and service should be so much better for the price I paid!! I won’t be returning Paid £105 for my mum and I A salad is much more than a bag of pre washed leaves and a few tomatoes, and 3 slices of halloumi is not acceptable! Try putting marinated sliced carrots, chargrilled peppers, roasted beat root and lots of mixed seeds, then you can charge that price Absolute joke And get a better selection of wine

Over priced and poor service Totally not what I was expecting!!! The beautiful restaurant really doesn’t match to the very poor food and service The salads if you can call them a salad, are literally a bag of wasted leaves and a few tomatoes 🤦🏼‍♀️😔 I mean come on guys !!! Where’s the rest of the vegetables? I can muster up a better salad at home, and 3 slices of halloumi is not really a meal more a starter ! I love a good wine, so ordered the £50 bottle of Savignon blanc, of which actually wasn’t any better than a £10 bottle of wine from the supermarket Let’s get on to the service. We were taken to our very small middle isle table, and left for 15 minutes before anyone came to take a drink order, there wasn’t a starter option to have any olives or bread , so we waited to have our order taken, once food arrived we ate out leaves, and before we had finished eating my mum’s pudding was brought over! I then ordered a bread and butter pudding and requested it to be served with clotted cream and not custard, they then brought out twi one with custard and one with clotted cream 🤦🏼‍♀️😫 then we were rushed to pay 💰 £105 really overpriced We have been to many exquisite establishments and paid the same price for a far superior meal and service

Lovely food in a very relaxing atmosphere. Nicely decorated and very polite staff. Would recommend

As a Scott with Hebridean connections I was intrigued to read that your menu referred to Hebridean eggs, on asking the member where they actually came from I was informed Kent. Put me out of my misery, where do they actually come from? I do have to say that my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our Brunch and would come again, pity about parking! Also why do you not have any Drambui or stones Ginger to accompany her whisky!

I took the wife here for her birthday and we were not disappointed, its a lovely, cosy restaurant with a great ambiance. The staff were friendly and welcoming but also discreetly attentive. Our starters were gorgeous as were our mains and I have to say the beef pot pie was the best I've ever had ( and I'm in my 70th year). Sadly we didn't have room for dessert but what we saw at other tables looked tasty. Its lovely to have a quality restaurant locally, yes its more expensive than the "chains" but that's like comparing Rolls Royce to Lada. I wish all the success in the world to Cafe Nucleus.

We (four friends) visited here on a Monday lunch time. We loved it here and enjoyed going somewhere so nice. It was extremely busy and therefore a bit noisy at times. The staff were top notch - so friendly and accommodating. We felt valued. We choose meals off the chefs specials. I had the pork dish and it was delicious. It was perhaps a little more expensive here than other restaurants in the area, but you get what you pay for and we felt it was worth every penny. All in all, this place is a gem. We shall definitely return again and again.

Good ambiance, good food both had full Canadian and best of all dog friendly who got the full VIP treatment including his own dog chair, well done guys .

A group of us met here for lunch. There is an extensive, varied menu and a list of seasonal specials. We all ordered different things and we were all very happy with our choices. It is a comfortable, welcoming environment and service was excellent. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!

Great wine selection and good beer options too Food was really nice , service is brisk but we were not pressured Lovely atmosphere Only downside is small table for 4 people dining

Not a place to come for food and a natter, food me and my friend had was perfect just a shame we couldn't hear each other the downstairs room is deafening and too many tables squeezed in...Will stay with Rochester in future

Came here for brunch last week. The Canadians breakfast was class. Coffee is really good too. Great attentive service too. Will be coming back!

This place is stunning and the atmosphere is great. We arrived at 11 and before 12:30 a lovely waitress came over with the bill (that we hadn’t asked for) and said “we’re not rushing you but we need your table back” - I know places have to try and make their money but I won’t be rushing back as I didn’t feel relaxed, once that comment was made I was just clock watching as I was so aware that they just wanted us gone. I was also a little shocked to be treated this way when my eggs Benedict and tea was over £20 - the food was lovely but it’s rainham not the west end.

Very nice meal indeed, with an excellent waiter for the evening named Justin. Highly Recommend.

Met friends for an evening meal, which we have done before but in the Rochester branch. The main courses were delicious, the service was good and we enjoyed the ambience. The only problem was the cheese and biscuit plate for desert. We ordered 2 to share, however at this price you would expect more cheese (there were 2 slices on each plate). The bulk of the plate was covered in hard, dried apricots and pea shoots. Instead of the apricots, maybe a sliced apple/grapes instead and of course a bit more cheese.

A warm and friendly welcome to this bustling restaurant. Service was very good - friendly and attentive without being 'pushy'. There is an extensive range of options on the long menu and by and large we were very pleased with our meal. We were celebrating the 90th birthday of a family member and were touched by the nice gesture from the restaurant of a box of chocolates :-) I enjoyed the Steak Frites - the chips were excellent, the steak just a tad over-cooked for my taste. The coq-au-vin was very well received, as was the stew and dumplings, and the pie - but the stroganoff was found wanting - a bit flavourless and 'sloppy'. Servings were generous so few of us were greedy enough to have a dessert, but the apple crumble and custard was outstanding! Overall a very enjoyable lunch with a very few shortcomings.

Disappointing service. Food average. Had the beef stew on the winter menu, very little beef, flooded in gravy with one rock hard dumpling. Hubby had the salmon sandwich which tasted like kippers. Expensive price for 2 mains of which 1 was a sandwich, and 1 cappuccino £55! Not recommend, maybe it was the time but service was very off today. Would not return.

I’ve eaten at the two Chatham venues and the food was amazing. However, at this venue I ordered the halloumi, avocado and lime salad. I was served two average and tasteless slices of halloumi, a small mashed up and watery avocado portion and the rest was salad leaves which made up 90% of the dish. I was so hungry that I ate every single lettuce leaf. Unacceptable for the price and for a main course. I did raise it with the waiter whom said he would take my feedback to the chef. Whether that happened, I’m unsure. My friend had Caesar salad with chicken and said it was ok. The chicken looked a bit more ample on her plate. Beautiful decor, very clean and nice ambiance at 3pm. The waiting staff are sweet and pleasant however, we were kind of left to our devices and not once was asked if we were happy with our meals. And they forgot the chips on a 3 item order? £128 for a bottle of chapeldown, two salads and one small portion of truffle and Parmesan topped chips and 12% tip, their waiting standards and food portions should reflect this but sadly they don’t.

The decor is lovely we were taken to a room upstairs very small with only 2 tables . The waitress looked like she had been tango as she had so much make up on and it was a Saturday morning! She was so miserable and rude!!! The food came I ordered a Canadian breakfast. Bacon was hard you could not cut it so was the toast. The scrambled egg was running . Very over priced for what you get. Get a better breakfast in the Wetherspoons by the station!!!

Lovely looking cafe but a little pricey.

I booked to go to Cafe Nucleus in Rainham for a birthday brunch with my girls - we all had such a delicious meal and talked about how great the service was! Sophie was our waitress and she was fantastic. On arrival, there was a little bag to say happy birthday with some chocolates inside, and I thought that was a lovely touch. I've been a fan of the Rochester branch for years, but the Rainham one is just as delightful and such a beautiful environment!

We love going to cafe nucleus at Rochester and wanted to try their new restaurant in Rainham. We had an evening meal for a Birthday celebration and it was excellent, the food was tasty and served at a good pace. The ambience is both stylish and welcoming and the staff were efficient and friendly. We will be back, thank-you.

Enjoyed their afternoon tea upstairs. The food was delicious and kept on coming to the point that the table was to small....but that's a good thing ;) Room was a bit hot so had to open windows in February. Had three children with us that loved the experience. Would recommend it but prepare for alot of yummy food.

Love cafe nucleus in Chatham and this has not disappointed me. Lovely food. Beautifully fitted out. Clean toilets. Always a pleasure to visit.

Recently had breakfast/brunch here. Pretty good overall. Eggs royale/blackstone were good. Pancakes were also nice, though they looked a bit flat for buttermilk pancakes. Cosy interior. Would recommend for brunch.

Smaller venue than expected. Lovely decor. Nice food with plenty of options.

We dined in the Langley fine dining last night. The food was great… I just feel it’s overpriced by about £5 a main course and £2-3 per starter and dessert. We do eat out quite a lot so I know roughly what the prices are. Just my opinion , £3.20 for a soda water… really? Also the triple cooked chips might be cooked 3 times but they still tasted like oven chips! Such a shame as it’s local.

The ambience very nice Tables spaced well

No issues with our meal. Food was great and service was perfectly fine too. The customer experience was marred slightly by the venue opening at exactly the time of our booking. Our table was booked for 0930. I don't think opening the doors exactly at 0930 (We arrived at 0925, by which time there were 8 customers left outside to freeze) is the most welcoming experience. As it was, at 0932 staff were still wrestling with large nutcracker statues while we were still left outside. This was then followed by a queue to be seated. This wouldn't have been so bad in August but it wasn't ideal in January. I would suggest being welcomed into the warm is a bigger priority than having Christmas statues up and the exterior music playing. The Christmas tree and wreath still being up also felt a bit odd. I understand there has to be a point at which the restaurant opens its door to customers but, if you are going to request customers finish their meal within an allotted timeframe, you have to make sure your own timekeeping is up to scratch too. We weren't pushed for time but the first 5 minutes of our booking was consumed by being made to wait. It's a small thing but, as a customer, I would like to feel less like a cog in a machine and more like a welcome visitor. It's all very 'instagramable' but sometimes substance is needed over style.

We have visited restaurant today after very good reviews and recommendations. Interior and exterior look nice, but there is still Christmas decorations with Christmas tree (sic). Toilets are nice and clean. Staff looked very bored and they approached us at the table very quick and twice didn't give us time to read menu. They were neither nice or professional, looked more like robots. When I was lost looking for hot beverages menu and ask where is it the blond girl waitress did not react looking somewhere in the celling and was just standing and waiting. One of the persons at the bar was talking on the phone in front of customers which is not proffesional aswell. We did order chilli con carne with chips and waffels, bacon and Kentish eggs. Chilli was nice in taste, but there was so small amount of beef in the sauce and red kidney beans looked like undercooked or tinned from very cheap brand, egg, bacon was nice but waffels definitely was ready made cooked from frozen in the oven and were very dry and crumbly, overcooked. Food is overpriced to the quality. Locally sourced chips? From Icleand? They were tasteless and undercooked. We expected much more than that from this place. I am sorry I will not recommend this place to others. There are better places around.

Well what can I say. Fabulous evening, food was amazing, and the staff/management went above and beyond to help me get home safely.. I really can’t thank them enough. 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

Visited Cafe Nucleus, Rainham for Friday brunch. We made a specific seating request on booking, which was noted & accommodated without hesitation. We chose the Eggs Hebridean which was lovely, tasty, well cooked, very well presented & filling, using high quality ingredients. Our server ‘Sophie’...

What a beautiful inviting place to go with friends and family. The decor, ambiance, service and food were exemplary. Great value for money and a great wine selection. I will definitely be rushing back. Thank you for making it a night to remember x

First visit to Café Nucleus in Rainham and we had dinner in the The Wine Chamber. We had the Festive special 3 course meal, the quality of the food was amazing. The décor is beautiful and the service was great. If you are a lover of Harry Potter, they also play the Harry Potter audio books in the rest rooms which is great! We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Café Nucleus.

Great food, generous portions and so tasty. Desert quite average and not worthy of the £8 price tag. The most disappointing thing is the service! Long wait between courses, staff can see you finished a long time ago but just walk past you. Have to...

Justin was so attentive to the group! Amazing food & good service 👏🏼

Food was very good with a varied choice. Service was excellent. A nice way to cheer up a gloomy week. I have been twice before for breakfast/brunch which was excellent. The service has improved with each visit.

My wife ordered the Ploughmans which was nothing more than a few slices of cheese, 1 pickled onion and bread one of the plainness ploughmans I've ever seen. I ordered the Tuna Melt Panini come with plain crisps but was very underwhelming! I also ordered a side of chips which priced at £5 and was nothing more than 10 cooked from frozen chips!

Upmarket, quality restaurant/cafe with a relaxed and pleasant ambience. The food and drinks are excellent quality but you certainly pay for it - think London prices. Special mention to our main server Justin who was friendly and attentive. Will happily return again!

Excellent to have a cafe nucleus in Rainham, finally somewhere grown up to go. The cafe, although I'd say it's more of a restaurant lends itself perfectly for a business lunch. Yet to visit in the evening but if it's anything like their Rochester restaurant...

I love all the Cafe Nucleus venues. This was the first time at the Rainham one and it definitely didn't disappoint. Our waiter Justin was delightful, the food, service and ambiance was of the quality I've come to expect from this group. Lovely meal. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing breakfast, absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. Beautiful and trendy interior, we’re so pleased to have you in Rainham.
