Roses Tea Room in Medway

Cafe Lodge is the best cafe on the manor by a country mile. The owner is a top bloke and treats his customers as friends. We have our production meetings at Cafe Lodge regularly and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Food is superb, selection is huge and the prices totally reasonable. Highly recommend you try it.

We had such a difficult morning, just stopped for a coffee and ended trying their Red lentil soup (yummy) Cake and coffee. Really enjoyed. Staff were very friendly and kind. Fixed my day. Definitely recommend it.

Thank you for the most amazing lunch , what a wonderful experience we had !!! The food was truly outstanding and so was the service. Charlotte and Kamilla served us and was incredibly helpful and made the whole experience faultless.

I had been here maybe 6 years ago, and recently tried it again. The most recent reviews at this time are all very good, lots of 5 stars and lots of mentions of authentic food. I can only assume these people have never been to Thailand and/or had authentic Thai food, because it's simply not, not in the slightest. This restaurant is a perfect example of a place that is catering to English tastes, the green curry was essentially a UK version... much in the same way that Indian restaurants have a tikka masala, which is a completely made up in authentic dish .. so to is Thai 4 twos green Thai curry ... some would say the flagship dish of any Thai eatery. Authentic Thai curry has fish sauce, spicy with lime and crucially sweet basil. This didn't have any of these, furthermore it was actually so weak it wasn't green at all but an off yellow sort of colour, also the chicken was hard and dry and definitely not freshly prepared. I am trying to be more balanced in my review but I would say that the service was a little slow, also, the guy with earings didn't really speak much, when someone comes to the table I like to at least have a small conversation. All in all, it's a no from me. Sorry Thai 4 two, you just aren't an authentic Thai restaurant

We had a wonderful Impromptu lunch here today — the food was excellent and service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Started w tuna tataki, followed by halibut in a delicious miso sauce w black rice. Lovely w local Kent wine. Highly recommend!
