Mrs Tickit's Pantry in Medway

Lovely place brilliant service. Clean and tidy. Pot of tea for two Coffee and Walnut,Lemon cake to go with our cuppa. Very reasonable prices. Have visited before as quite a big group with family was absolutely lovely on both occasions.

What a wonderful place. Just had the perfect brunch in the loveliest setting. Very welcoming staff and perfect quality food. Would highly recommend.

Had a delightful afternoon tea here on Valentines Day with my partner. All our needs were catered for including Gluten Free options for all cakes / scones and yummy sandwiches! Very good price for what we had and found staff polite and welcoming, would strongly recommend a visit here and we will definitely be returning.

Had a very small jacket spud and a spoon full of beans which cost £8 could of bought a whole sack full from farm shop. No wonder so many cafes shut there doors for good.

Great traditional tea room. Friendly-welcome, nice food and great cakes, reasonably priced. Really nice find.

Lovely tea room. Friendly staff. Pot of proper tea. Excellent prices. They made our dog very welcome. Make sure you check out the toilet.

I called in here for a late lunch on a very hot Saturday in September. I had broccoli and Stilton soup which was delicious and an amazing cheese scone.

Cute place with good food and friendly staff. Have been twice recently for afternoon tea and soup and sandwiches. Made to feel welcome, food looks and tastes good. And love tea for two in a teapot with bone china cups and tea leaves. Will return definitely.

Walked in and no one said hello or welcome very hostile service I asked for a high chair and they said yes but have to move oushchair which I was going to do anyway but the tone of voice was like I was one of her children very rude then breakfast turned up and my bread had big bit of mould on my toast asked for new one they took bread off and gave it me back then actually charged me full price aswell not even a sorry

Nice surroundings, lovely people, great food, cakes are lush and very reasonably priced. Will call again when in Rochester.

Amazing Cook Breakfast for £6.50 including tea, coffee or juice. Friendly Staff. Recommend visiting.

Most rude, unfriendly and unwelcoming We walked out and took our business elsewhere! If I could give a zero rating

Visited with my husband and had tea there with cakes. Staff are lovely and friendly and the tea was lovely. Recommend

Welcoming friendly staff, delicious vegetarian breakfast & best mocha ever (I'm a mocha connoisseur!) Lovely atmosphere too, cannot recommend highly enough.

My husband and I popped in for a cup of tea during the Sunday of the Christmas dickens weekend. The lady who served was pleasant but the other member of staff was rude to 3 older ladies who were having tea. Their friend who wanted to join them was told to go outside as they were closing at 4pm. The time was 3.15 Plenty of time to serve an elderly lady a cup of tea with her friends and wash up a cup. We love the Dickens weekend but would not return here for the dried up cake and miserable staff member. The shop must have had a good weekend financially and should treat customers with respect and be grateful for the extra footfall.

Visited today for coffee with family/friends and can only describe as disgusting rude behaviour presumably from the owner towards us and her staff member. What a horrible nasty woman to speak to us in that way. The other customers were shocked too. Will never return...

Delicious strong coffee and really cheesy cheese scones, made from a family recipe! Welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere, would thoroughly recommend.

What an incredible quirky tea room in Beautiful Rochester, we arrived with our big huge back packs as we are currently walking the whole UK coast path for charities MIND and CHILDREN IN NEED, we were offered a warm welcome and complementary food and drink..What...

Food was edible but serving lady was racist. She was nice and chatty with English clients and clearly was showing us that we are not welcome. Place had wi fi but lady refused to give us password. But she gave it later to English customers....

We had a lovely lunch here. Everything is fresh and the portion sizes were very good. We were hard pushed not to indulge in all the lovely cakes on offer! The décor in the shop is quaint and quintessentially British. The staff were a little...

A very friendly tea room with a warm welcome, as we walked through the door we were greeted with a smile and served straight away. A lovely environment and decor suited the building. A lovely pot of tea made with real tea leaves, so nice!...

We came to the tea room on Monday. Received a warm welcome. Friendly staff and a good choice on the menu. The place seems popular with locals. Tea room is dog friendly ( Jasper a regular was there, he was a very well behaved) We...

We received a warm welcome even though they were due to close very soon. A lovely pot of English tea made with real tea leaves. We had two pieces of cake, not the best cake that I have ever tasted but not bad for the...

I came to visit this place with kids, ladies who waited us and took a payment were rude as if they got annoyed that kids were there. People who came with dogs got better service, their dogs got biscuits. Food was ok, was dumped on...

Visited the cafe for lunch with my husband and two grandchildren. We were not greeted as we entered and the lady who served us was so rude and made us feel very unwelcome. She was not pleased when she came to take the order as...

Found this recently and it is now our go to for lunch or tea and cake. The food is excellent and its lovely to see regulars and dogs. Excellent value for money.

Went with my wife today. We had a coffee, tea and a slice of cake to share. Cake was good. Service seemed a bit brusque but lady was okay as we left. For some reason a customer came in with a dog that howled for...

Lovely stop with my daughter for tea and scones .Lovely staff .They have proper tea cups and use tea leaves Just as my daughter picked up the tea strainer the penny dropped !

Found this small cafe tucked away at the top of the high st , when all the trendy cafes which have sprung up in Rochester recently are charging up to £8 for a sandwich it was refreshing to find a more than reasonably priced placeThe food here is excellent and I would highly recommended the Welsh rarebit, lovely tea served in a pot with loose tea not tea bags , unfortunately the only thing that slightly lets it down is the service They do not even acknowledge you when you come in and the general service is at best abrupt ! It’s as if they are doing you a favour and it’s all a bit to much trouble!If they can sort out the not so good service then they are on a clear winner here

Visited here for a little afternoon treat. We asked for a ham sandwich for my son and asked if they could cut the crusts off - the lady looked at me as if I was an alien and said ‘I’ll give you knife to do...

We visited on the Xmas market weekend, found a free table and sat down. Two members of staff rushed over one grabbed the cracker that my 2yr old son was holding as it was display only (fair enough) bit of a overreaction, the other said...

We first ate here last Summer, which was nice so we decided to return at the weekend.The cafe still has a nice feel/setting (personally feel its far better than Tiny Tim's visited earlier in the day).Couple of things I felt let it down this time. It was a very busy weekend due to the Xmas Market, we were seated fairly quickly, but then 3 others were seated at our table also. I wouldn't have minded sharing a table but i should have been asked, not instructed it was happening. Secondly the chocolate cake (appeared shop bought) my husband had (see pic) was tiny, half the size of other cakes but still charged at £3, which was overpriced Overall though we still enjoyed our lunch visit. Its still a lovely setting and the jackets potatoes and coffee were good.

Had a nice little catch up with a friends over nice tea & cake! It’s cozy and welcoming We spend over two hours there! Will be back

Unfortunately we couldn't have the afternoon tea we wanted as you have to book it 48 hours in advance. So we ordered a sandwich and a cream tea. We both asked for the malted bread, which was lovely and soft and very tasty too. All in it came to £18.50, which I think is reasonable. The staff were lovely and the tea room was very clean.

We had Welsh Rarebit and it was perfectly cooked and delicious! Lovely pot of real tea giving us 3 cups each. Pleasant service. Altogether a very good experience.

Set in the lovely historic Rochester High Street it would be very easy to walk past this little gem of a place.

Lovely scones and speciality teas. The variety of teas was diverse and interesting. I recommend the strawberry and cream tea.

Been twice , just for a snack and cuppa . Very friendly staff and good service, proper tea and very nice sandwiches

Me & my partner live on the high street, first time we have visited here but all I can say is WOW service amazing, little touches and care that goes into the set up is lovely. Huge credit for this little place. Thank you very much ! And the food was great my Broccoli and Stilton soup was gorgeous and full of flavour.

A lovely little tea rooms in the heart of Rochester, excellent value for money, loose leaf tea, finest ingredients, amazing place, give it a try you won’t be disappointed

Absolutely fabulous, ladies catered for our every taste, and attention to detail was exceptional. Highly recommended

The tea was nice, came in a large pot & brewed nicely. The cream tea could have had better jam. The bad points: The cakes were very dry, would have been better buying some from a local shop. The carrot cake actually had mould, the currants were furry and green, this was exchanged for a victoria sponge which was also dry & half was left we would not visit again.

This was our first visit to Mrs Tickit’s Pantry and definitely won’t be our last. We had a lovely visit made even better that we could sit inside with our dog, the ladies who work there are very friendly and chatty and really make you and your pet feel welcome. The service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble.

Food all delicious (chilli with rice, baked potato with tuna mayo, and superb cakes). Very fresh materials and good taste. No music, nice people. Very convenient placed for shops, castle and cathedral, which helped make a very pleasant day out. Thanks!

Thank you for a peaceful lunch with lovely fresh food and great tea - loose tea in a pot - what a treat! Next time I shall try a slice of cake!

So myself and family took a visit today and was happy with the food and drink but the customer service was something else. My mother and I had ordered a hot sandwich each and wanted to ketchup. The lady who served us only asked my step dad specifically if he wanted any sauces and left to quick for my mum and I to ask. When she finally came back my mum asked nicely and the lady was so rude and said well you only asked for brown sauce and stropped off and literally smashed the ketchup on our table. This lady seemed to sound rude to all her customers and probably has no idea in just how rude she comes across. A shame for a cute little cafe.

I visited this lovely tea shop, for lunch with a dear friend today. Cannot fault anything. Lunch was lovely, service was friendly and efficient. The scones are wonderful. Served warm with jam and clotted cream.

Went in there today for breakfast. Really nice with a pot of loose tea for 5.50. Friendly staff. Been to most in the area and this is probably the best. Will definitely visit again.

Nice place, looked after well and food was good. What more can I say. Give it a try, you’ll not be disappointed.

Top place to pop in for a bite to eat when you are hungry or thirsty for a cup of tea or coffee. Friendly service and nice surroundings.

Never been to Rochester and it was quite a bit chillier than recent days so this warm and cosy tea room was a welcome break. Thrilled to have gluten free options including a delicious gluten free scone for a cream tea, a huge treat if you’re gluten free! Would totally recommend on this basis alone!

We visited Mrs Tickits with our daughter and her boyfriend for lunch.

Best place for English food . Lovely staff and great ambiance.always recommended Sandwiches are great as ever

Love these ladies. They remembered my dairy intolerance and completely accommodated it. Did a really cute little brekkie for my baby and a bowl for the dog. Incredibly reasonable price wise and a lovely cup of tea with real loose leaf.

Tucked away but worthy of a visit. Excellent coffee and filled pa-ninnies, Friendly service , clean and tidy, deserves a visit

After strenuous walks around both Upnor and Rochester castles we opted to stop here for lunch. I took a ham sandwich on the granary bread which was delicious and my wife had chicken soup which was also good eaten outside on the tables provided

A lovely little tea place, with an excellent choice of basic, English food. Nicely decorated, with old fashioned bone china cups & saucers, tea pots & a good variety of loose leaf tea. There was not a lot of atmosphere in there, probably because it is very small & quiet, & also at the very end of the High Street. But I'd be happy to go again for their good food & delicious home made cakes.

I visited today with two of my friends for Afternoon Tea. For the three of us (£10.50 per head) we were served a selection of five sandwiches (Ham, cheese, beef & horseradish, egg and chicken & bacon), a raisin scone each (with strawberry jam & clotted cream), a mini strawberry each along with a selection of around six mini cakes and a pot of tea.

We were in the area and did a quick trip advisor search for tea rooms and Mrs Tickit's came up. You can find the tea room at the start of the High St ( if you come from the castle or cathedral turn left when you hit the high St and walk to the end).

Fantastic place. Usually visit once a month for some good food and to see the lovely girls. Usually have the all-day breakfast (veggie) and a never disappointed. Good price, on par with Weatherspoons down the road and you get a much better service and quality. Tried some other tea-rooms on the High Street and haven't found one better than Mrs Tickit's. I am very fussy with food and they are always happy to cater for me and have never been let down.

My husband had the omelette and I chose the lasagne. Both were nice but we had to wait a while. Therefore we didn't have time to have the desserts as our car park was running out.

Visited during half term for lunch. Very warm welcome even with two young children. I had the full English Breakfast, one of the kids had beans on toast and the other a scone with cream and jam. They both had milkshakes and I had tea. The tea was with leaves served in a cute teapot. All delicious and really well priced. Would definitely return and would recommend.

A lovely surprise afternoon tea for my best friends 50th birthday. Freshly made sandwiches n great selection of fillings. Home made scones n cream n jam followed by selection of cakes. 2 pots of tea. Staff are very attentive and happy in their work. This was my 6th visit. Xx

The tea rooms have a lovely ambience and the afternoon tea was delicious. The staff particularly the older blonde lady have a terrible manner. She banged things into the table whilst serving us and other customers. I watched her take the payment from another customer without any thank you or goodbye. My granddaughter wanted to take the pot of jam as she hadn't eaten it and we were told that it would be 50 pence extra. We decided to leave it. I notice other customers have complained about this too! I think it is bad business to upset customers over a pot of jam that cost pennies wholesale! I think they would be better not serving it in the jam jar and putting it in the same pot as the clotted cream which you clearly wouldn't take with you if you are taking any uneaten cakes home from an afternoon tea. I also over heard them mocking a customer who had phoned them enquiring after booking a table once the call had finished.

We had lovely tea and cakes here on a cold afternoon. Friendly staff, tasty home made cakes and good hot tea. Great comfortable atmosphere. Good value for money. Proper tea.

This was our first visit to Mrs Tickit’s Pantry and definitely won’t be our last. We had a lovely afternoon tea and the ladies who work there are very friendly and chatty and really make you feel welcome. The service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble.

I could tell from our short visit that the cafe was nice, and the food was fine. Coffee good. The staff were rude. They seemed annoyed that one of our party asked for tap water. I decided I wasn’t hungry enough for my scone so went to take it home. Tried to take the tiny jam jar portion with me assuming it was one per person. They told me they saw me take it so had charged me for the jar (just a standard one person jam jar!!?!) since they refill them. I agreed then paid, and offered to give their small jar back, which they accepted despite my paying for me. Rude attitude. Won’t go back...

after visiting Rochester Castle i looked around for a friendly cosy cafe to have a traditional english breakfast and certainly found it at Mrs Tickit's...the food was of the best quality and plenty of it with 2 large poached eggs cooked to perfection along with really good bacon rashers and sausage,etc.

Stumbled upon this lovely cafe/tea room during the Dickens Festival. Great food, good value for money, exquisite toilet facilities just needs to be made bigger to cater for more guests.

Good size scone (served warm) standard clotted cream n jam, nice coffee in good size cups( mine had a chip on rim) good service, slight downfall is size of shop 3x 4 person tables and 4 doubles, always busy.

Go to Mrs. Tickit's Pantry for a traditional tea room experience--pretty china, lots of chintz, and absolutely delicious food and...

Our family of four visited Rochester and looked around for somewhere nice to have "brunch". We were attracted by Mrs....

A warm welcome and charming food in this delightful tea room in Rochester. Highly recommended - worth a visit.

i often pop in for a pot of earl grey tea. the staff are friendly and welcoming. and it is such a pretty place, with lovely china and vintage decor. it really is charming.

My son and I spent a week in Rochester at the beginning of August and we had a snack lunch at Mrs. Tickit’s Pantry on one of the days. This is a very “superior” type of tearoom, with very pretty, fine bone china and "real" loose tea with a strainer and no teabags! My son had a Welsh Rarebit for lunch, which he said was very good, and I had a cream tea, with two scones and sufficient jam and cream. (I very much dislike cafés which are niggardly with these). As well as very good homemade food, we particularly appreciated the general ambience of Mrs. Tickit’s, which on balance was our favourite of the places we sampled for lunch. The lady, one of two sisters, was very friendly. Anyone who chooses Mrs. Tickit's for lunch for lunch will not be disappointed.

Pequeña joya escondida al final de High Street. Almuerzo familiar tarde con una mezcla de baguettes, sandwiches, panini, chaqueta de patata y lasaña. Todos, desde los niños hasta los abuelos acordó la comida era excelente. Ellas se referían al hotel del té de hojas sueltas aún está comentado en un par de horas más tarde.

Excellent service, good food and real tea - all for a very reasonable price. The staff - sisters I believe - were very welcoming and friendly. My tuna sandwich was huge with crisps and a salad garnish and friend's large slice of carrot cake excellent too. Premises clean and comfortable.Cannot fault this place - shame I live so far away,

We were visiting Rochester and found this delightful tea rooms and it just happens to be National Cream Tea Day so it would have been rude not to partake Excellent friendly service, superb scones and had a great range of other cakes. We will definitely be visiting again.

Met friends, one of which who is clearly disabled. We had been talking about her recent cancer treatment. Staff were behind us so could obviously hear. Ordered cream tea for diabled friend who was ordered to give back the unused tiny glass jam jar they gave with the cream tea, and told we had to buy it again, separately this time, despite paying for it in the cream tea. So rude and lacking in compassion.

Really wanted a cream tea and no where in Rochester seemed to do them, we stumbled upon this lovely little place at the end of the high street.The cream tea was lovely, the portions were very generous too, would go back again.

Sarah and her team are really lovely, this is a great place for an afternoon tea, in a traditional setting on the High Street (near Rochester bridge).

We've been here a few times and it's a lovely little cafe. Exceptionally clean, homemade food and great prices.Our go-to place in Rochester :)

I had a surprise hen party afternoon tea organised for me yesterday here, and it was wonderful. Lovely food, fabulous cakes especially! The staff were wonderful and really accommodating, and the décor was beautiful. Highly recommended!

My first time here under this management.Had afternoon tea with my lovely friend. Everything was good. Two pots of house tea served in bone china thank goodness.Some tea shops spoil it not using bone china. Lovely sandwiches and home made scones and another selection of small cakes. Very good value.Thank you Sarah and assistant.

My daughter and I stepped in and had a lovely hot chocolate. I had s slice of the coffee and walnut cake. Very lovely ambience to the place- one to take your nan too. We only spent half hour in here but a very lovely half hour it was

An old style pantry, how they used to beA nice greeting when you arrive, spotless, lovely china etc, a great pot of tea and the all day breakfast was lovely.

I've been here three times now - the first was when the family came to visit and we needed something quick, simple and suitable for both kids and adults, the other two occasions have been on my own.The owner and staff are very accommodating, polite and friendly. The food is lovely and the interior is quaint, clean and relaxed + the tea and crockery hit the spot!

Tried this wonderful establishment on the off chance and I'm really glad I did. The tea and cakes were amazingly scrummy. I would highly recommend this place for being a little gem on the High Street.

I came here with my girlfriend for lunch and we got served very quickly by a smiling, friendly waitress. She made us feel very welcome and brought our food and drinks very quickly. I ordered a panini and I was surprised it came with crisps on the side. I found it a bit odd but thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't stress wnough how much we both enjoyed the experience and the service we received. Will definately be visiting again.

A lovely cafe. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely surroundings, sweetly decorated in florals exactly what a tearoom should be. Toilets were so clean which sadly in this day and age is rare. I would highly recommend. Very reasonably priced very well presented food. Brilliant!

My husband and I visited here for a late breakfast and coffee. The decor is really pretty and had a lovely atmosphere. The staff were extremely attentive and efficient. The breakfast and coffee were without fault, beautifully poached eggs on thickly buttered doorsteps of toasted bread. What's not to like! Well done to the staff, excellent.

I visited Mrs tickets with my young grandson one lunchtime. Really loverly place clean and tidy. I ordered prawn sandwich for myself and cheese sandwich for my grandson. Well there was so many prawns didn't scrimp at all it came with a generous side salad and crisps. The tea came with real leaves not a bag and a loverly cup and saucer. The staff were very polite and spent time talking to me and my grandson.. My grandson is only 18 months but this wasn't a problem. He like all small children do not like to sit still for long but the staff wasn't at all bothered with him moving about. would definately recommend ..

Two of us had afternoon tea which was lovely and very good value. The scones and clotted cream were particularly good. The atmosphere was very cosy with a warmth and friendliness to the service. Despite staying until closing time there was no pressure for us to leave. The tearoom is very conveniently situated at the bridge end of the High Street with plenty of browsing shops nearby. Highly recommended.

After a early afternoon of looking round the great shops of Rochester, me and my wife decided to get some lunch. We have been past Mrs Tickits on several occasions and decided to pop in. We were lucky and a table was free. The lunch was lovely, the staff are so nice and the atmosphere is so plesent you could sit in there all day. I said to my wife maybe it should be bigger as many customers walked in and there was no seating for them so they left, but like my wife said it will lose its charm. Well worth a visit.

A pleasant place to enjoy your lunch Great food, freshly made sandwiches and the cakes looked great.large choice of fresh tea's to drink and served in bone china tea service with a tea strainer for the tea leaves.The service was very friendly. Will will be going back.

Rochester High Street is awash with eateries. The one's closer to the middle of the High Street tend to fill up rapidly at lunchtime, and we walked past several at about 1 o'clock on a Saturday in early October that were full. Walking as we were towards the Medway Bridge, and very close to the end of the High Street, we stopped and looked in to Mrs Ticket's Pantry. A few customers but tables available. The menu displayed a wide range of foods so we decided to lunch here. Taking a table in what is a relatively small establishment, we were rapidly served by a young woman who took our order for 2 cups of tea and 2 tuna mayo panini's. The tea arrived in a beautiful china teapot, with matching cups and saucers, and I was especially impressed to see that tea leaves had been used and not the standard tea bags. Well done for this!The panini's followed, and were nice with a side salad that was substantial. The whole bill came to a shade over £10 which I thought was good value for money. We left happy, and will return!

Excellent food and service. The tea was excellent. The scones were a great size and had a perfect taste and texture. Will be back as soon as possible to try other menu items.

Food good as was the service. Nicely decorated and spotlessly clean and very reasonably priced. Would recommend without hesitation.

A delightful tea room at the end of Rochester High Street. Menu choices small but very good with the food made up freshly per order. Retro feel to the place with actual tea pots and strainers for the tea with lovely crockery. The food was excellent and the staff were attentive and helpful. If you just want a light lunch or afternoon tea this is the place for you. The prices are reasonable too.

Stunning display of cakes and pastries when you enter the shop plus the awesome smell of freshly ground coffee, treat yourself in the coffee shop!
