Very nice set lunch for £25 which included a bottle of wine for the table (although sadly I could only drink one glass!). The beetroot cured salmon was excellent, followed by chicken breast in a wild mushroom sauce. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

Fabulous evening meal with family to celebrate my birthday. I took my young granddaughters too and we were well looked after. There was a good choice of food to cater for everyone including some nice vegetarian dishes. The service was excellent and the food was delightful, not to mention the cocktails!

We heard there was a new chef who had recently started at Olivers and thought we would give it a go for my mums birthday. This time the food had drastically improved and the service was great considering a busy saturday evening. My partner loved their steak which was cooked to perfection and I loved the burger! They catered for the kids and it was great to see empty plates. We were made aware they will be having a new menu soon so we will definitely be returning! Thanks to all at Olivers and great to see some worth while changes.

I reside in a property behind Oliver’s and have lived there for 8 weeks now. Every Friday and Saturday/Sunday nights from 3pm roughly onwards until early hours of the morning myself, my other half have been kept up from outrageously loud thumping music reverberating through the walls. After speaking with several residents we will be touching base with the council to look at measuring the volume. It goes on from Friday to Sunday and last night on Monday went on Until 3am which is frankly preposterous. Several residents have made complaints and I have as of today Liaised with Medway council to look at a plan going forward to limit the noise as residents are finding it rather difficult to sleep at a weekend.

Cocktails are great, went for food today and it was awful lamb was over cooked and tasted disgusting. Made me feel unwell. Not a great experience - thought giving the price it would have been nice but no. They did take the lamb off my bill but I was hungry and left feeling still hungry and sick. Wouldn’t recommend going for food

Olivers is a lovely place, nice decor, attentive staff and reasonable pricing. Let down slightly by the food, some was great, some was just average. I had the goats cheese and red onion tart to start, which was a little dry and overcooked. My lamb main was also a little overdone and could have been seasoned more. The ratatouille that came with it was delicious though, as was the passion fruit creme brulee I finished with.

We arrived a bit early on a Thursday evening, and we were staying nearby. We were shown to our table in a small dinning area, there was a table of 2, already on their main courses, a table of 5 next to us all having exotic cocktails, and us 2. After being seated for near minutes, we asked for the menu, which we were duly given. We then waited a further 10 minutes and asked if our order could be taken bearing in mind. it's not a large menu. We ordered some olives and warm baguette to eat while waiting for our starters of pate and goats cheese, and eventually, they all arrived together, which was not the idea. Mains were lamb for me and a mushroom risotto for hubby, he found the rice to al dente, but because of the service decided not to say anything, until the lady on the table next to us, who had also ordered the risotto complained that it was not cooked properly and sent it back. The manager did come over when my husband mentioned about the risotto and very kindly sorted this out for him. Hubby had tart au citron for dessert Some seating out side several steps to get into restaurant, so might not be great for a disabled person, car park nearby

We had a 3 course dinner here last night which went down very well indeed. Great food, a decent selection and a set price menu - though I was taken aback by how expensive everything is in Rochester. At least you are pretty much guaranteed to eat well here, and service is excellent. I had salmon and chicken, all beautifully prepared and cooked. Surroundings are great too. This is probably the poshest restaurant in Rochester high street, but they avoid any snootiness. Cocktails were decent quality and good value at 2 for £12. We didn’t have much change left from £100 for the two of us, but felt it was the going price for the area.

We had my husbands 50th birthday party here. There was 21 of us and we had a room to ourselves. The food was really lovely, everyone commented on how nice it was and they could cater for gluten free etc. They were super accommodating all day long and had also printed out loads of kids resources and provided crayons etc. for all the kids. We were there from 12.30 and finally left at 8pm!! The staff were absolutely fantastic. Thank you for making our day so great!!

A lovely setting for a wonderful meal. Excellent value, two courses for £20 (three would have been £25, but we had eaten so well we couldn’t manage a third!) A good selection of dishes to choose from, including several vegetarian, vegan and gf options. The service was friendly and attentive, the food was first class. All together a very enjoyable meal out.

Ho scelto Oliver's restaurant perche' , guardando il menù on line, ho visto che aveva diverse opzioni gluten-free, e poi perché era categorizzato 5 stelle per il food hygiene rating. Posso dire tranquillamente che le aspettative non sono state deluse. Locale molto bello e personale cortesissimo. Hanno avuto la massima attenzione per il celiaco del gruppo, e hanno anche fornito il pane, che avevamo scordato. Alle bambine hanno dato dei colori per disegnare dietro il foglio del menù bimbo. Ambiente accogliente, caldo e anche i servizi igienici erano puliti e ben riforniti.

I really don't get the negative reviews. We were welcomed and treated very well. The food was excellent. I had the crispy beef and the salmon which I cannot fault. Everyone in my party of 4 was happy with all their courses. The menu is short but to me that's a sign that everything is freshly cooked and it certainly was lovely. Cocktails were great and many were 2 for £10. Even though w didn't order dessert my son was brought a delicious slice of cheesecake with a sparkler in it when they found out it was his birthday.This restaurant is also adhering to Covid-19 guidelines. I can only assume it's people who don't want to do the same who are rude and don't like that they can't talk to staff that way. Good manners gets good manners back.Give it a try, you won't be disappointed if you are a polite person.

The dooman were friendly and professional! Our front of house staff were fantastic! Both kirsty and Taylor made our evening! A free complimentary glass of prosesco was given to my mate as a birthday treat which was unexpected and greatly appreciated.Nothing was too much trouble for both Kirsty and Taylor, I actually felt I was in someone's home the hospitality was fantastic, both Taylor and Kirsty are a great asset to this establishment. Will defo be returning!

Definitely changed over the last year and unfortunately not for the best! Service left a lot to be desired and being sat in the back room had to visit the bar several times to prompt for our drinks ordered from waiting staff. Whole place starting to look run down in general and can’t see us visiting again until it shapes up a bit. Better venues and more choice available in the high street for lunch and a drink now.

I can’t say what the food is like because we didn’t stay long enough to try it. We had booked owing to the wonderful reviews but we knew immediately that this wasn’t going to be an enjoyable evening. Unfortunately we followed a noisy family into the restaurant and the waiter? Who greeted us with “Hey guys”, escorted us into an empty room at the back apart from, you guessed it, the noisy family. I was placed staring at a blank wall. The menu was quite limited, but we would have found something nice, except we knew we wouldn’t enjoy our meal with the loud voices behind us. Not knowing how to change anything, we left and found somewhere more cosy and welcoming. There are plenty to choose from.

First visit to this gem of a restaurant. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunchtime meal last week. The lady that served us was very nice, the food was fantastic and great cocktails too. We had a lovely window seat in the front dining room looking out to the front of the building. This restaurant was a great find. We enjoyed it so much that we are returning today with our family.

I’ve been to Oliver’s many times over the years but this by far was the worst experience I’ve ever had out in my life!I would title this review as ‘Rudest men behind the bar’ but I honestly believe ‘men’ wouldn’t of acted so inappropriately towards women. On Saturday August 1st - My friends and I approached the bar to buy a drink, a member of staff called Jordan was chatting to one of my friends, we asked him to take a picture of us and he agreed. He took a picture of one of my friends and gave my phone back, he told me that he wasn’t taking a picture of the rest of us because we are ugly and not as pretty as my other friend. I honestly couldn’t believe it! We laughed it off and ignored him as he was trying to pass off his vulgar comment as a joke. We aloud him to finish making the drinks he was making prior then asked if he could serve us. He had such an attitude, refused to serve us and told us ‘If you’re going to be like that then get out!’. How on earth can a member of staff call my friends and I ugly, then refuse to serve us and then tell us to leave when we didn’t react to his disgusting remark in the slightest? I was in absolute shock and began to laugh, honestly I was speechless. The manager behind the bar was also laughing, then told me ‘I’m not laughing at him, I’m laughing at you!’.We was then being mocked by two members of staff for merely asking for a picture to be taken. I will never ever return to this bar again, the fact members of staff and even management can act in this manner is ludicrous! The owner should be ashamed to allow staff to act like this in a customer facing role. If it wasn’t obvious we left straight after this and spent our money elsewhere and had a great time in Rochester! I’ve also spread the word about this situation and can assure that all my other family and friends won’t be returning.

Hemos estado varias veces a este restaurante y seguirá viniendo... la comida es excepcional, todo el mundo, y el personal es muy atento y muy servicial, especialmente una señora llamada Carmel que hace todo lo posible para garantizarle un tiempo fantástico. La comida está muy bien de precio y todo es delicioso. El restaurante es limpio y acogedor. Nos encanta estar aquí y lo recomendaría para parejas, familias, y proveen un servicio de entrega. Pequeña joya en Chatham.
