I booked a table for 30 at Oliver’s Rochester for my daughter’s 30th birthday surprise lunch. I had high expectations for this restaurant; its location is convenient for most of my guests, with ample parking just a three-minute walk away from both the restaurant and the high street. Not only did Oliver’s meet my expectations, but the staff and overall experience exceeded them in every possible way. Anyone who knows my family understands how hard it is to please absolutely everyone. Add to that my daughter’s friends, some of whom I had never met before, and I needed an environment that felt warm and welcoming. Most importantly, I hoped the food would be great. Well, I was more than pleasantly surprised! From the start, I maintained communication with the restaurant, updating them on guest numbers and details. Because I’m an organisational nightmare, I even sent them a spreadsheet with every guest’s meal choices (don’t hate the player, hate the game!). Despite my fussiness, Clare, the manager, was absolutely wonderful, as were all the staff. They were welcoming, polite, and accommodating at every turn—every request was handled seamlessly, and every question was answered with ease. Now, the food...where do I even begin? It was cooked to the highest standard, arrived together, piping hot, and was simply mouthwatering. The portion sizes were beyond generous and much appreciated. Every single guest was happy with their meal, including me. My daughter, a vegetarian, was well catered for, and even guests who made last-minute changes, like ordering starters after initially declining, were accommodated without any fuss. The only item unavailable was one dessert, but an alternative was immediately offered and accepted with no issues at all. The whole experience was effortless and enjoyable. We had a private room that was just the right size, featuring velvet chairs, long couches lining the walls beneath a stunning Georgian/early Victorian windows, and a beautifully ambient, classy decor. A table was set up front and centre for the gifts and the cake I brought with me (they could have provided one, but I had already arranged mine elsewhere). A bar was conveniently close by for guests to order drinks on demand, and the staff struck the perfect balance of checking in just enough to ensure we were well looked after without ever feeling intrusive. One small but incredibly thoughtful touch—they provided takeaway boxes so guests could bring home slices of cake. I hadn’t even considered that, but it was such a lovely gesture. By the end of the afternoon, we all left full, happy, and having enjoyed a wonderful Sunday together as family and friends in a beautiful setting with truly exceptional staff. I genuinely cannot find a single fault with Oliver’s Rochester. This place is a hidden gem, one I would usually be hesitant to share for selfish reasons, but in this case, I have to applaud them. No matter where you are, whether in the UK, across the world, or even in another galaxy, I urge you to visit Oliver’s in Rochester, Kent. If you’ve skimmed past my detailed review, let me summarise it in one word: 'Outstanding!' They understood the significance of the occasion and delivered an experience of the highest standard. A huge thank you to Clare and all the staff at Oliver’s Rochester; you made my daughter’s milestone birthday truly special. Kindest regards.

No one was in there (at 9 pm, btw), and the security didn't let me back in after I went to another pub after I realised I left my headphones in there. Very rude to me and just said I was too drunk. Fairly sure, this was just because they just saw me go to another pub. O era priced in there as well.

Went for a Friday night meal with a group of work colleagues. Had the large room to ourselves but it was unbearably cold despite the waitress claiming the heating had been put on. A few of us had to put our coats back on. Polite staff and vegan curry was amazing although somewhat overpriced. Ambience was good otherwise. An amazing period house converted to a restaurant.

We went to Olivers on a Thursday evening to try their menu even better that it was 50% off food. The evening was lovely from booking to leaving. The staff were all very helpful, polite and attentive. Nice relaxed atmosphere. I chose the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection, my husband had Beef Bourguignon again very nice. We finished with the apple crumble (no picture whoops). We weren't rushed at all.

I enjoyed a *lovely meal at Oliver's on Friday evening. The food was excellent and the service, as always, exemplary. I should like to mention 3 people in particular : Adam - surely the wittiest and most knowledgeable Security Man in Kent; The engaging and most attentive Zina, and - managing it all on a very busy night - Luke. *I had the camembert starter, followed by an extremely tasty cauliflower and chickpea curry, and just about had room for a couple of scoops of salty caramel ice cream to finish.*

I was actually enquiring about hiring Olivers out for a party of 90 people (even though in the end we didn't book, (purely because people wanted to take children and other requests). I must say Carla sent out menus etc and gave us all the info we needed and more. Absolute pleasure, she certainly has the grasp of customer service, 💯. I'm just sorry we couldn't book as it would have been a pleasure. Next time. Carla keep up the good work. ♥️

Food was mostly fantastic with only slight complaints for the banoffee pie and chimichurri salad. Dough balls were my favourite part of the meal but Claire made it a great experience. Ps.

Oliver's, a stylish venue in the heart of Rochester, offers a sophisticated atmosphere perfect for a Friday night cocktail and whiskey outing. We found the bar to be pleasantly quiet, creating a relaxed ambience ideal for enjoying expertly crafted drinks. The extensive selection of cocktails ensures there's something to suit every taste. Whether you're seeking a pre-dinner aperitif or a leisurely evening with friends, Oliver's provides a welcoming and refined setting.

We've been looking to eat at Olivers for a few years but due to having 2 young kids we've never been able to make things line up. We always walked past the building loving the architecture thinking we must eat here. There wasn't a menu online so had no idea what the food was going to be but as we've frequently eaten at Brettingtons (same owners I think) we weren't too concerned. Unfortunately, we weren't very happy with the menu options, not that there was a problem per se with the food, it just wasn't what we were expecting, and the price point seemed a bit off the mark. The food is probably best described as over priced bar food. We wouldn't consider eating here again, nothing wrong with the food quality or presentation etc, it's just the food offering can be found elsewhere at a better price and this probably wasn't in keeping with the dining experience we expected at Olivers. That all being said, the staff were all pleasant and attentive with the lady looking after us being fantastic. They just need to sort out the menu and price point to make the value exchange better. There were quite a lot of empty tables on a Saturday evening so I imagine other people must think the same. Menu image attached for others reference.

A massive shout out to Luke who helped with all the organising, made sure everything flowed on the day and was basically amazing 👏 I would definitely come here again.

Thank you to everybody that helped me enjoy my birthday. I highly recommend the venue, however, be aware there are lots of stairs. Fine when you’re 27, but when everybody is getting on a bit two flights up to the toilet can be hard going. But we managed 😍

Went for a work meal on a Thursday at 6pm. We were the only people in the whole place. They have some good prosecco/cocktail deals on (2 for £10/£12 respectively) and we had the set menu for food. The options were quite varied and mainly people asked for the burger or lamb however both were deemed to miss the mark. The lamb had a nice crispy skin but the meat was more well cooked than most would have liked and the ratatouille was quite boring as an accompaniment. The starters were nice but a lot of the breads were verging on burnt sadly. Service was good, friendly staff, but for being the only table in the place drinks could have been quicker and unfortunately the waiter spilt a drink partly over a guest

Ethan took great care of us and the equal blend of humour and great service was excellent!!! The food was great too! Ask for Ethan everybody!!! He's AMAZING 🤩! He even got me a takeaway container as I'm a grazer and barely touched my main course (my friend had a chip). His comment on seeing my untouched plate was ....oh well done....good try....and it had us laughing our heads off!!😂 We would definitely go again!! Thanks E....you're the best!!

Celebrated my birthday here last night with family. Lovely restaurant and bar with a classy, upmarket style setting. The food was excellent!! Everyone complimented and thoroughly enjoyed. They were more than happy to accommodate a fussy eater too! We definitely took advantage of the 2 for £12 cocktails - they were dangerously good! The service was great - staff were attentive, chatty and really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great evening. We liked the layout of the room too as it meant that everyone could see and chat to each other during the meal. Door staff were very friendly too. The whole party would highly recommend and we are all really grateful for an amazing evening! :)

Food is not good, medium rare steak is like medium well done, very dry. Duck leg is obviously precooked and just put it in a microwave? There is a £5 surcharge for the steak and it is not shown on the menu, glad they take it off. £30 for 2 course and £35 for 3, I suggest you just go to weatherspoon next door.

Was looking forward to Sunday lunch here as we'd not been before but we recommend to try it. What we didn't know is we needed to put a whole day by if we wanted 3 courses! An hour wait for the starter and over an hour wait for the main. If you add the weight time to be given a proper drinks menu and take our orders it was 3 hours for two courses which is a complete farce. Probably more annoying was the food was actually pretty good, but there is no way would we return to somewhere with such shocking service again. Oh, also a top tip. Don't give out drinks menus covered in someone else's dinner with pages missing, then say oh you must have the one with the pages missing, while find you a complete one. Throw it in the bin and clean up the complete ones before handing them out. Just for a laugh as well, they added a service charge to the bill as well. Obviously removed it as the service was basically non existent.

This restaurant is amazing. Far outreached our expectations, thought as it was reasonable it would be small portions so ordered extra sides, was far too much. You couldn’t fault the service, the cocktails were really good too. Will definitely be making another visit soon. Thank you so much Oliver’s and for the complimentary cocktail for the birthday boy!

We went there for my partners birthday with all the family, other than our table there were only two others in the whole restaurant. Despite making us pick what we wanted quite a long time in advance the service was so slow that we worried our four hour parking would lapse. The poor waitress was running about whilst the waiter seemed like we were constantly inconveniencing him. The food was shockingly poor standard and tepid at best, I ordered the mushroom starter which came cold and with whole raw garlic cloves I sent it back, no offer to exchange it until after everyone else was finished and the waitress wondered where my plate was. It is certainly not like the photos on their adverts, as my father in law said “I wouldn’t eat there again if you paid me!”

Me and a friend went here on a weekday evening for dinner. I’d checked the website/ menu before booking but upon arrival discovered that only the festive menu was available. We both ordered a starter, main and shared a dessert. The service was friendly but the food mediocre/ poor. My pork was over cooked and chewy with vegetables that tasted of oil, and my friends salmon, potato’s and butternut squash was dry and bland with the potato’s undercooked, the salmon over cooked. To top it off my friends beer was served warm; we were told that the fridge had only just been turned on. Had to wear my coat in the restaurant as it was cold. Incredibly overpriced for the quality. Working our way through Rochester highshteet restaurants; this comes in bottom so far.

First course was fine, better than expected. Main left much to be desired. Vegetable barely shown hot water, same for stuffing. This is all down to the chef, new Executive Chef in 2023 needs to rectify. Front of house, 2 guys, were on a hiding to nothing. Such a shame as we had experienced so much better on previous visits. Thanks for the acknowledgement that things were far from perfect but it spoilt the experience. On a positive, we will will try early 2023, fingers crossed for much better. 👍

Service at this place is a big let down. We booked a sunday lunch for my family. We were given the wrong menu initially by a waitress who looked as if she just didnt know what she was doing or even where she was. I know this may come across as offensive but perception to me is a big deal. Even if you dont have a clue at least look like you do. We were given another menu, the week day menu, on a sunday....and told the only things left on it where the vegetarian options. None of us are vegetarian and none of the options left looked good. So on speaking to the manager we where apologised to and finally got the menu for the sunday lunch......30 minutes later. After a quite a wait the food arrived at the table, The beef was beautiful, The Turkey was bone dry. The vegetables where cold and the potatoes on my plate where burnt. The yorkshire pudding and the gravy is what saved the meal from being a disaster. This is not what we expected from a classy bar like this. So far service was questionable, the food was ok and the best was yet to come. The bill arrived, every one on the table including my 7yo son had been charged for 2 adult courses. I spoke to the waiter and reminded him that my parents only had one course each and my 7yo son is not an adult and should not be charged as such. I also questioned the service charge added to the bill asking if it was optional to pay as normally it would state on bill. In this case it didnt. He returned with the bill and stated that the service charge was correct. This it not what I had asked him so I told him politely to remove it. 3rd time lucky, I finally got my bill. I have been to this place in the evening for drink and I cant fault the place. Bar staff are great, cocktails are great. But as for the sunday lunch, I wont be returning.

Worst food I’ve been served, ever!! I don’t understand anyone who visits this place and says the interior is “classy”, it’s diabolical and the food somehow seems to top this. There were 8 of us, 2 down from London and the rest local. To start with, the menu is poor, little choice but in all honesty, you’d be better off not ordering, walking across the road later to Morello’s and grabbing yourself a pizza. We unfortunately did order, 6 steaks, a chicken and a sea bass. One meal came out ok. The rest were awful. 5 of the steaks weren’t cooked how we asked so we sent them back, only to then come back out again, incorrectly cooked. The sea bass was bland and the chicken was so dry I wouldn’t feed it too my dog. The gentleman that served us was lovely, the young girl unfortunately didn’t have much of a clue and asked us if we wanted to open and pour our own bottle of wine, at which I persisted at this point and just said give it here. All in all, probably the worst meal I’ve ever had, I’m trying to think of something that tops it…

With a hen group. The staff were smart, friendly and professional. The interior is pleasant and classy and guests allowed in to add hen night decorations. However, the food was a total let down for the cost. Scallops to start, one standard size, two tiny. Two of mine were very gritty, but only one other person had a gritty one. The potato and brie thing was fantastic and filling. Ordered the pork for main. Nice carrots, nice brocoli. The mash and pork were so dry I couldn't swallow them. Late on the other side of the restaurant tunnel on loud music. Dessert was OK. A mixed experience. Nice in general but the food is no better than something served at Spoons.

Ambience good, visited during sweep festival (folk, morris dancing etc). Couldn't faught meal but once again hot food served on cold plates. Reason why didn't give five stars. Crumble and custard served cold as well.

Very smart dinning experience, nicely cooked food and the Banana Duo was a lovely way to end the meal. 🙂 Plenty of Staff when needed and very helpful. Has a young vibe but we went as a family and still had a great time! Well worth visiting when in Rochester.

Had our wedding reception here January 28th 2022 . The interaction i had with Olivers leading up to the big day was very accomodating and helpful.They helped calm my anxieties and reasured me what they would do. They sent the menu well in advance, only one problem with menu, were the sauces for steaks were not optioned in so we had to type up a separate menu request. On the day the staff went out of their way to accomodate my wedding guests, one being quite difficult (my apologies).Thanks particularly to Luke who went above and beyond in service to us, you are a credit to Olivers. Big shout out to the chefs on the day, the food was amazing. Overall i would recommend Olivers without hesitation.

The staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating and the score isn't a direct reflection on them. The food was a mixed bag though some of the people in our group enjoyed the food more than others. Personally my food was rather bland across all three courses. We also encountered a small pest problem (that the staff dealt with well), without that I would have scored them higher.

Where to start, Luke and Jako what a fabulous pair to be managing here. For context we had a last min wedding and no where for a reception with Covid and Plan B making it even more difficult to find somewhere at short notice. Then I made the call and spoke to Jako who was very helpful in everyway and that they might be able to help us on that date. The day arrives and Luke and his team were 100% on point to help us make the most of our day with probably a million other things to do as well. They were attentive the food was amazing and the staff, super friendly and the cocktails amazing, salted caramel espresso martini I'm looking at you ;). All in all this team and restaurant went above and beyond to help us and for that I cannot say thank you enough it will be my go to place for a cocktail from now on and anyone who ever asks for a place to go they will he the first place I recommend. Thank you again

We just had a lovely relaxed meal at Olivers. Wanting to go somewhere a bit different for lunchtime "date lunch" we picked here. I'm so glad we did. Made to feel welcome, seated by the radiator where it was lovely and warm. Food was amazing, wine spot on, attentive service. We can't wait to visit for a Valentines lunch with you guys!

Professional, welcoming and friendly. Roast beef was cooked to perfection, fresh roasted veggies, crunchy potato and plenty of gravy. Deeeeelish 😃

Had jerk chicken for the first time from here as my usual has shut down. Food tasted great. Also got some curried goat. Definitely recommend the food. Even though I'm in Rainham just eat said out of range? That needs sorting by them. But when I rang and told the guy he very kindly said he would deliver himself even though he was working. So he gets bonus points for that. Mate, I don't know your name but thanks for that. Will definitely use again but tell the idiots at just eat that Rainham, Kent is only a couple of miles from you in Gillingham. As of 21/10/23 this place seems to have shut permanently. Have tried several times to ring, no answer, and just eat always say they are not taking orders at the moment. Shame the food was great. Doesn't seem to be any good place in Medway for Caribbean food now.

Normally I wouldn’t write a bad review, but the experience was really awful and I wanted to share it. I hope they will improve after reading this. Few weeks ago me and my family went to Rochester, it was a Saturday afternoon. We didn’t book any restaurants and we decided to try this restaurant. The service was very poor, the menus were dirty and ripped. I was a bit skeptical, but the kids loves tacos and we ordered. The food was poorly prepared, we asked for sauces and they arrived when we had already ate half of our dinner. Moreover, we had to ask twice for it, the sauce were placed in a plate, and the plate was incredibly dirty. When I had to use the bathroom, I walked past the kitchen and as I had to wait for it I observed the kitchen. It was a mess, dirty and I could see the ingredients all over the kitchen top uncovered and in poor condition. It was definitely a very poor experience.

We came for a Mothers day meal, there were five adults and an 8 year old. The food and service were excellent. The 8 year old in our party got a tour of the kitchen and got to stir his curry. He was so excited, this was a lovely touch. My meal was free as mothers were given a free meal! We will definitely return when we are in Rainham again. A fantastic meal with a great atmosphere.
