Tiny Tim's of Rochester in Medway

I have been there a few times for afternoon tea, always fantastic food and service, cannot fault the prices either. Today I celebrated my big birthday there with family, I had a great time, many thanks

A lovely Mother’s Day afternoon tea. So much lovely food, fresh sandwiches made to order. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back for another. Thank you.

Had breakfast there recently with my family. The place is nice and clean and everyone is friendly enough. We all had full breakfasts, which were OK. It's not massively brilliant, but OK. A few suggestions I would make (these aren't huge problems, just my opinion for what it's worth) - more than one food menu per table would be better. I know I can ask for more, but it's a small observation. - serviettes on every table (there were some on some, but not on ours) - I really think the food portions could be bigger, but I totally understand everyone is squeezed at the moment. The food was cooked reasonably well, and there was nothing massively wrong with it, but it just didn't set the world on fire for me. We spent £55 on four breakfasts and 4 drinks for anyone's info. All in all, I would possibly go back. But if I had family visiting from abroad that wanted to eat breakfast in the highstreet, it wouldn't be my first choice currently. Good luck to them though, nice people.

Went there today with a friend for afternoon tea priced at £19.50 pp. Whole place looked dark & scruffy and in dire need of deep cleaning. Kitchen area cluttered and untidy with open dustbin. Floor looked unclean. People serving also looked scruffy with only the lady wearing a protective apron. A glance at the J cloth and tea towel being used was enough to set alarm bells ringing reference hygiene. A visit downstairs to the toilet was an experience I would not like to repeat as, once again, pretty grim. The afternoon tea was very nice with cakes, scones with cream & jam, sandwiches and pots of tea although I was, by then, worried about who was preparing it and where it was being prepared. It didn't feel like a Tea Room, more like a cafe. It's a shame as the food was good but, we won't be going again.

Took my family out to a day trip to Rochester. Whilst we had a lot of great options around we thought the name and history of the place we thought it would be good idea to dine. I’d like to point out that we were the second last customer before closing on a weekend. We ordered a variety of food for the family, one of them a simple Tuna and Sweetcorn Sandwich, but we received a a sandwich with just Tuna and no sweetcorn, no problem, simple mistake. When I pointed it out, the waitress said they ran out of Sweetcorn, a slight frustration as if we were told earlier then we would have ordered something else. We also ordered a plain scone and received a fruit, again, nothing was done. Food was good but a bit dissatisfied with the service, but hoping the business takes it as feedback rather than a criticism.

Nice place friendly staff been a few times over many years , always nice food and service,

Amazing breakfast best quality ingredients never had a bad experience here couldn’t recommend the place enough !!

I was going to leave a 5 star review as the food is delicious and the decor is so cute, it’s one of my favourite cafes, however when I was here yesterday a staff member (the owner maybe?) suddenly started having a go at a girl as she was leaving telling her to not shout at the staff, I would just like to say I was sat near her and never once heard her raise her voice but I sure did hear the staff raise his voice. It was also a coincidence he did it just as she was leaving, I’m all for sticking up for yourself and your staff members but why wait till she’s half out the door to say something to her so loudly for everyone to hear? I brushed it off thinking it was a bit harsh but not my problem, now like I said at the start I was going to leave 5 stars but decided to have a look at the reviews and noticed not only did that girl leave her own comment but someone else has mentioned something similar about the boss having a go at people when they have any criticism. Also any low review seems to get a very passive aggressive reply. I find this so strange. This cafe is clearly thriving so why reply so passive aggressively to people? I think whoever does the replies maybe needs to just ego check themselves a little bit. It makes me wonder if I came her again and had any sort of issue would they then start on me? It’s a lovely cafe so I will come back however that will be in the back of my mind and I hope I don’t have to deal with it.

We went here for breakfast, Or tried to. We ordered our breakfast and three hot drinks and waited for 45 minutes for the food, which didn’t turn up We appreciate that staff are busy but we had no communication at all. We spoke to them on two occasions. We were advised the first time that ‘we’re upstairs and they’re downstairs. We don’t know’. We asked for a refund, and as we left, the owner, then came out to have a go at us and told us to leave his premises because ’we are busy’. He stated that we shouted at his staff, which we did not, at any time. He then told us to get out of his premises. Rudest owner, I have Ever come across, I would never recommend this restaurant to anybody after the way we’ve just been treated. If our order had been forgotten, we would’ve understood but without communication, how are we to know? Really unnecessary reaction from the owner. You’d think an apology would be offered rather than rudeness. Response to the owner: We categorically did not verbally abuse your staff. We asked twice where our food was, no verbal abuse was used at all. Don’t you think other customers would’ve heard if we did? You didn’t apologise, not once. Nobody did. We had no communication from anybody until we enquired as to what was happening. It was me you shouted at as I left with my family. If you had spoken to me, or my family, directly and with politeness, we would have had a conversation with you but you went at me, quite rudely. Your staff were certainly busy, but nobody was rude to them.

Sat for an hour with a coffee that can only be described as rocket fuel. Walked out tired and hungry after watching people being served in front of us that had only been sat for 10 mins. No point in complaining as the staff cry and send the boss out to tell you off

I had booked a table for Friday 17th Nov only a week ago and arrived there today my Birthday treat to find the place closed with no explanation as go why. Very disappointed

Our review may be a bit biased because we had breakfast rather than afternoon tea. It is nothing great.

Amazing veggie breakfast at Tiny Tim’s! Had gluten free toast option too. Sat outside, lovely views of the castle. Will definitely be back

What a lovely little cafe. Great value for money and the best cake ever I had raspberry ripple, it was amazing! Will be going back

We hired the downstairs for an afternoon tea hen party celebration. The staff are super friendly and helpful, they offered a wide selection of sandwich fillings. They catered for us all and it was all prepared fresh once everyone had arrived. There was too much food but we had 1 person who didn't arrive. They gave us boxes and foil to take home as didn't want to waste anything. Tiny Tim's is such a hidden gem in the heart of Rochester, highly recommended. Thank you

Another perfect afternoon tea at Tiny Tims. Beautiful freshly made sandwiches, amazing scones and the best selection of cakes. A lovely couple of hours with my friend xxx

Last year I had my very first afternoon tea here on my birthday and absolutely loved it. After that, I had a few more afternoon teas, (one even at a very fancy and quite expensive place where my sister in law had her hen do) but Tiny Tim's has raised the stakes for afternoon tea extremely high for me. As I wouldn't shut up about this, my partner decided to give it a try too so we rang up last minute on his day off and turned up an hour later. The staff is absolutely lovely, the atmosphere was very relaxed. We did get some extra sandwiches with our order too which we really appreciated, it was such a lovely touch! The quality of their food definitely stands out. Every single item on the tiers is fricking delicious. Sandwiches are made with soft bread and are freshly prepared upon order, scones are served warm and the petit four are all to die for! I always get so excited trying them all 😁 I honestly don't understand the bad reviews on here but surely those people don't appreciate good quality food. For about £20 per person I think it's very fairly priced considering the cost that goes into ingredients and production. Being a home baker myself I know how much time and effort goes into preparation. Adding the cost of everything else that comes on top of it, you can barely make any profit without people starting to moan. So please, If you can't appreciate good food, stay away from Tiny Tim's. However I know I'll be back for sure! 😊

J'ai aimé! Je recommande fortement! Merveilleux service! Nourriture très savoureuse. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best cafe in Rochester. Always friendly, food amazing can’t wait to go back

Lovely afternoon tea today. Good value for money; especially the sandwiches with so much filling in. Would definitely recommend.

We were the only two people in this place, it was deserted. Other coffee shops were full. Service was good. Atmosphere was some what lonely.

The coffee is good but when I leave the cafe , I feel like I have a smell of oily fumes on my body.

My first visit here as I saw it was dog friendly. My dog was welcomed and his sausage and bacon came chopped up in a bowl. The vegetarian option was lovely. We will be back!

Amazing breakfast, best one in town. Sausages where fantastic. Couldn't fault a thing

Absolute gem of a place. Definately worth a visit or two 🙂

The title says it all really. I planned a surprise party for my parents here and had 18 people coming including 5 kids. From the initial booking right through to the end of the meal, the staff were helpful and friendly. We were given the whole of the downstairs, which was fantastic as it meant the kids wouldn't bother anyone. They also blocked off the bathroom for just us so that we wouldn't be disturbed by other guests (so thoughtful!). They even decorated with balloons and flowers; the flowers the owner had arranged himself just for us too and let us take home afterward! We had the high tea option, which was £13.95 a head and the amount of food was amazing! The cakes both looked gorgeous and tasted amazing, I had the gluten-free cakes and they were so good! The sandwiches were also great with a range of fillings (I even got to choose what I had in mine!) Unlimited tea and coffee kept everybody very happy and full too! They also let you bring your own alcohol and provide glasses, which was brilliant and this meant my mum could have her favourite bellini with her meal. This experience was one of the best meals out AND parties we've ever had, my mum was so surprised and said it was the best party and just how she would have wanted a party to be. We also were told they can do a sit-down hot meal with a roast too (with notice of course) so I don't think there's anything they can't do here! We absolutely recommend this place for a party and can't praise it highly enough. If you're looking for somewhere for your party, check out Tiny Tim's!

everything was great, thanks, greetings from switzerland

Great afternoon tea. Loads of good food 😋

Was für ein charmantes kleines Lokal!!! Rochester ist voll von schönen Ecken und prächtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber wer nicht im Tiny Tims war, der war nicht wirklich in Rochester. Schon von außen ein Hingucker, der liebenswert altmodisch einlädt. Aber erst drinnen wird es richtig toll. Eher klein, sehr gemütlich und fast wie ein privates Wohnzimmer. Überall Nippes, schöne Dekoration, Bilder - vieles davon 'very british'. Serviert bekommt man alles in unterschiedlichem Geschirr, das ein drolliges Sammelsurium darstellt und quer durch die Jahrzehnte geht. Gute Auswahl an Tees und Getränken, feine Scones und gute, traditionelle Kuchen. Frisch zubereitete Sandwiches, wenn man möchte. Der Preis ist sehr fair und gerade im Vergleich zu London oder vielen Konditoreien sehr günstig. Besonders zur angenehmen Atmosphäre vor Ort tragen aber die freundlichen Menschen bei, die dort arbeiten. Ein absolutes Highlight unseres England-Urlaubes!

Order the Dickens Breakfast.. you will be pleased.

Fantastic name for a fantastic store, 5-stars!

Pretty good full English breakfast. I had the tomatoes excluded from my order

Very nice afternoon tea.scones could have been a little fresher.but overall. good

Absolutely amazing place delicious food and friendly helpful staff. Definitely going to visit here again and should definitely be part of your Rochester visit.

Stopped at tiny Tim’s as we always do when visiting Rochester, we always wait for them to open for our breakfast, everything as good as always and great farm sourced sausages spot on Be back next we are local 👍🏻

We had a Christmas Afternoon Tea today at Tiny Tim’s. It was amazing. We were able to choose our sandwich fillings which was a lovely touch. We had gorgeous freshly baked cakes, scones, mince pies, Christmas cakes - way too much that we all ended up taking some home. The staff were so friendly and service was perfect. Would definitely recommend and will return! 🥰

Lovely afternoon tea there today. Only small thing was no cream with jam and scones? Otherwise great 👍

Had a quick lunch, a lovely over-filled baguette. The only down side was there was no room for cake.

Nice selection of breakfasts, but a bit pricy for what it is.

Lovely little tearoom. The service is amazing and the food is fabulous. Cannot fault it. Definitely visit if you happen to be in Rochester for the day!

Breakfast was fairly expensive and not very good quality

It was very nice and lovely place and the food was delicious

Lovely afternoon tea for my birthday, first time we had afternoon tea ever and it was all fresh and very enjoyable. Thanks again!

At last minute, decided on an afternoon tea from tiny Tim’s for my birthday. Wow amazing!!! Didn’t phone until 2.00pm (had tried earlier but no reply) & was delivered to my house at 3pm. It was truly enjoyable & so filling. Everything you could wish for. Thank you for making my lockdown birthday a real treat & one to remember!!!

After shopping in Rochester needed a light bite. Luckily for my friend and I found a table at Tiny Tim’s We ordered stilton and bacon sandwiches.lovely fresh bread, crisp salad and tasty contents. Very pleasant welcomingstaff

Delicious cream tea with strawberries, loved the interia of the place. Amazing place, would definately come back

I went to this place as my girlfriend wanted a breakfast.The cups where dirty and looks like it hasn't been washed properly.When the food arrived it was not hot just warm I wanted to wipe my mouth and realised the napkins looks dirty.After the food me and my girlfriend was burning rubber trying to get home for the toilet as we got diarrhoea, The food hygiene standards need looking at I wouldn't rate this place a 0 let alone 1 I would never visit again

Tiny Tims is my go-to for afternoon tea in Rochester. The food is lovely, always fresh and there is a good selection of sandwiches, even as a vegetarian. Cakes and scones are lovely and I always bring them home as can never finish it all!

Stopped here on a day trip to explore Rochester for a cream tea, the lady was super friendly and the scone was warm. A nice little building, clearly very old.... What really did it for me was the view (you only get it if you sit outside) a really clear view of the castle and cathedral..... What more can you ask for whilst drinking tea and eating scones.....

I went here because I wanted to ride my bike and found this on google. It looked nice from the picture so I went there. The staff were very friendly and I was met by the owner who couldn’t have done any more to male me feel welcome. I ordered the quarter cheese with chunky chips. The burger tasted amazing and chips were cooked perfectly. I told the owner that the only criticism I have is that the meal was far too big so I couldn’t eat half of the chips. Great service and the owner even found time to chat. Will definitely go again.

Me and two friends went here today for afternoon tea and a catch up and it was really lovely, the owners were friendly and welcoming. The portions were large and everything tasted delicious, such fantastic value for money! One of the best afternoon teas I’ve had!

My partner and I have been to Tiny Tim’s a few times now and every time we’ve had amazing, friendly service in this quirky little cafe. The only place we’ve been that gives you much more food than you order and it tastes good! Brilliant value for money and the people make it well worth the visit. We will see you again soon!

Had the best afternoon tea, great selection of sandwiches and really filling, had to take some home lol. Staff are really nice and attentive, couldn't do enough for us. Definitely recommend and a really great price. We booked again after eating.

The best breakfast in medway for a price you cannot beat. Staff can't do enough for you and nothing is too much trouble. Cannot wait to visit again for more great food

I had jacket potato with prawns. The salad with it was lovely too. Really lovely lady, think the owner, but nice. Dined alone and enjoyed. Would recommend.

We popped out for brunch today and came across Tiny Tim’s. It’s a quiet place run by a lovely couple who couldn’t have been more polite, helpful and appreciative of people supporting their business.I can highly recommend the Artful Dodger breakfast for those with a big appetite and The Dickens for those who only like a little of everything. The portion sizes are generous and the quality of the food was exceptional. The chips are even better than chip shop chips! The tea was hot and The cappuccino wasn’t just froth. The service was fantastic, didn’t wait long to be seated or served our food.My partners quote, “That’s where you need to go if you have a quality hangover, it will sort you right out!” Great value for money, even with the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, We gave a £10 tip because we felt it was worth paying full price.They have followed the government guidelines very well and I cannot recommend enough. We will be back.

My husband and I just had an afternoon tea at Tiny Tim's of Rochester. We have had afternoon tea at a well known hotel in Wilmington and several top London hotels. However, we both agreed that Tiny Tim's is the best so far. It's a family run business which helps as they are clearly invrsted in providing a good service. I would definitely recommend.

Such a lovely breakfast! Huge portion, really delicious and all freshly cooked. We had the Bumbles and the Artful dodger breakfasts, sausages and bacon were very tasty and sourced locally. Beans, mushrooms and tomatoes all well cooked. Presentation was excellent also and staff very friendly.

Me & Liquerish We come here quite often, lovely little gem on the high street with great food and A-M-A-Z-I-N-G service, my doggo gets spoilt rotten and I get delicious food....Highly Recommend !

Myself and the family came to Rochester to show the in in-laws (that where over from France) what a old english town was like and to have a proper English breakfast. Rochester was very busy as it was a Saturday morning and tiny Tim’s was also very busy. We asked if they could fit us in a we had a buggy too. The gentleman that worked there was soooo lovely and accommodating. He said we could eat down stairs but as it was a nice day we wanted to be upstairs. Bless him he quickly cleared the tables and made it so we could all sit together (there where 6 of us). The breakfast was amazing and the staff where super lovely. I would definitely recommend going here. Thank you guys sooo much

I took my son for an afternoon tea here today , it was lovely , sooo much food all really fresh , lovely service will definitely visit again soon!

We only phoned in the morning to see if they were open for breakfast after seeing it after dinner the night before. Table was reserved for us and we were attended to quickly even though they had told us they were short staffed. Coffee was great to start. Ordered for 2 adults & 2 children. Food was freshly cooked really well and plenty of it.

Lovely owners they were so helpful and friendly; the portion size blew my mind I’ve never had so much food put on my plate and for such a low price!!! And the food it’s self was soo nice honestly the nicest full English I’ve ever had! I live in London but will be happy to make the trip again just for this! Highly recommend.

Managed to get three out of four orders wrong even though we were the only people there. Mum was nice about it. Son has anger management issues and actually called me the c word in front of the kids. Shocking. So much choice in Rochester. Never going back to this place.

We ordered afternoon tea for two to be delivered during the lockdown. Arrived in the timescale. And it was fabulous. Fresh sandwiches, great selection of cakes, plus cheesecake slices and huge scones with little pots of jam and clotted cream. The portions were very generous. Came with tea bags and milk, although we didn't use those. I would definitely recommend!

I have dined at Tiny Tim’s three times. They are observant and good natured staff. The food is nice.

Ordered an afternoon tea for my husband's birthday during lockdown. What a treat! Loads of fresh sandwiches stuffed full of filling, the biggest scones ever with clotted cream and jam, the most luscious fresh cakes, tea bags, milk and sugar! Fantastic value. Will most definitely be ordering again and will be paying a visit once they are open for business as usual. Oh yes, and the husband enjoyed it too! :)

Have been coming here for a few years now for afternoon tea and it’s absolutely amazing and such good value for money I’m so confused as to some of the negative reviews as all the staff are lovely and really helpful and would definitely recommend it

I booked afternoon tea for my mum and my 3 nieces aged 11, 8 and 5.The staff were lovely and welcoming. It was busy when we arrived so they asked us if we would mind getting comfortable and waiting which we obviously did not.The food was amazing. You can choose your sandwiches which was perfect for my nieces and there was lots of food and cake.Terry was great, very friendly and great with the kids. We were the last customers in the restaurant, but they did not rush us at all.My nieces loved it and it was great value for money. We will definitely be back.

Popped into rochester for brunch today. Decided on Tiny Tim’s as had heard great things about the all day breakfast...it didn’t disappoint!There’s no airs and graces in there and you’re not afraid to ask for exactly what you want without feeling that you shouldn’t have! Nothing’s a problem. Great filling and tasty foodFriendly and accommodating staff A real family run home feel to it Photos show the “Bumble Breakfast” and a minted lamb baguette

Had the all day breakfast. Wet cutlery put down on our table, no serviettes. Bacon very underdone for my liking (just about cooked), eggs and beans stone cold, toast horrible. Couldn't eat it. Witnessed the incident mentioned by 'valueseekerkent', where the server, an older, bald man, was extremely rude. Made a terrible atmosphere because he had a go at this poor customer for no reason, very loudly, so that the whole place could hear. His manner even with us was very odd, he seems completely unaware of his rudeness. When I went up to pay, this same man was clearing plates and had put the black dustbin lid up on the counter, on top of plates and cups. Place generally feels grubby. Level of hygiene and service appalling. I will never go back. There are cards on the tables asking for Tripadviser reviews, I hope management look at these reviews and take some action. I would if it was my business.

Went for lunch , got a beautiful sandwich , with salad and crisps. I decided it would be nice to have another coffee , I said excuse me to a man 3 times and felt he had been hard of hearing , but he turned and asked what I wanted , I asked for another coffee and he told me he said I should wait as he was serving someone ( his attitude was so rude !!!) . I told him not to worry , he started to raise his voice and asked what he had done wrong he wanted to finish what he was doing and I should wait . I told him I had changed my mind and had no wish to argue . He said he couldn’t understand my logic and really tried to intimidate me .... it worked , I left as soon as possible and will not be returning .

Was given a voucher for afternoon tea for 2 as a gift,had trouble booking on the phone(never answered) but popped in and booked very easily. The afternoon tea was really nice and made to order so was fresh and made with good quality ingredients. Everything was excellent the lovely sandwiches,scones and cakes. The service was great, had a wonderful time with my mum.

Not the first time I have visited Tiny Tim's and certainly wont be the last! Had the Artful Dodger breakfast this time, probably the best cooked breakfast in Kent, not the cheapest but willing to pay the bit extra for quality. This is the place to go.

A small restaurant with a limited menu. Food was freshly prepared and tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful. The decor unusual!

Asked for brown toast with my eggs, but got white and it wasn’t toasted properly- totally pale and soggy and unpleasant. Food and cutlery plonked down at end of table when served- no mention of sauces or seasoning. We were left to work out the grubby selection of sachets on a side table was a help-yourself. Didn’t feel welcoming at all.

It's small, it's not posh and there are there are no frills. It's family owned and the staff are lovely. Not a posh menu but a really good choice of food from sandwiches, burgers, all day breakfasts and many other lunch dishes. Food is freshly cooked and Service is excellent, and it's not too expensive. You could walk past and not really notice it but if you are looking for a good lunch and see this place. Go in, you will be made very welcome and you won't regret it.

It’s shabby , there’s no getting away from the fact but if you’re looking for kind, friendly service that’s not posh or fancy , you’ll feel comfortable and well looked after here. No complaints about a lovely cup of tea and cake !!

One of the nicest afternoon teas! Food is so fab and a great selection of cakes and sandwiches (you are able to decide which fillings you want). Can’t wait to come back!

Went to Tiny Tim's this morning for breakfast and can't fault it. Food was great staff were really friendly and would definitely recommend.

Took our mum here for afternoon tea today, it was amazing! So much food and cakes and even got a box to take what we didn't eat home. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend and will definitely go again.

My girlfriend and I visited on Valentine's and were immediately met with warmth and exemplary customer service. A peaceful, homely atmosphere in the heart of historic Rochester was much appreciated on a cold February afternoon! Excellent vegan options for my partner and coffee brought to us as soon as we arrived.

What a charming place I had the pleasure to visit a couple of weekends a go with my partner. The staff were so accommodating and could not do enough for you. We both ordered the all day breakfast with different specifications and we were both very pleased when our plates arrived. Beautiful big portions and not greasy at all. We wish we had enough room to sample the beautiful cake on display in the cabinet (next time for sure we will try them). Thank you so very much and we will be back again soon.

After reading all the reviews I was expecting Tiny Tim’s to be an excellent cafe. However, as soon as we walked in the door I noticed the floor was filthy. I would have left immediately had we not arranged to meet someone there. We just had coffee as the cakes looked very sad sitting in the cabinet, they were certainly not homemade cakes. The toilet was dreadful with a roll of paper from which to tear a piece off to dry your hands. This was filthy from so many people touching it with wet, dirty hands. We didn’t stay to eat and found a lovely little cafe further up the road. I only chose Tiny Tim beacause of all the review said on this site. I cannot understand how a place can be so far off from its reviews! I did see some people served a cooked breakfast as the serving was huge, so maybe people are willing to overlook the cleanliness of a place for the sake of a big fry up! Very disappointed.

An amazing family outing for afternoon tea. Have seen other reviews on here about ‘weird sandwich fillings’ which is nonsense- you choose your own from a really wide range- traditional up to minted lamb! Very well priced great staff who got everything ready quickly. Cannot recommend highly enough

The food here is always amazing, the staff pay such attention to every guest.

The breakfasts are amazing. Huge portions for a very good price!! Still waiting for the day when I manage to finish it!! My brain and mouth are saying “must eat all of the yummy food” where as my belly is saying “no more can fit!” The lovely staff always make my visit a huge pleasure and have never left there unhappy or disappointed. Would highly recommend Tiny Tim’s.

excellent breakfast, large portions large pot of tea super value am I am a regular because of the food and tea

I recently booked Tiny Tim's for my friends baby shower and they could not have been more helpful. They let us hire the private room they have downstairs and had set it all up for when we arrived. They even helped get the guest of honour downstairs to help surprise her! The food was also great and great value for money. Couldnt have been happier - thanks Tiny Tims!! :-)

Having checked days before to confirm table booked for 2.pm a birthday celebration when we arrived at 2.pm notice on the door saying closed the place was full no table had been reserved for us we were offered downstairs to a horrible basement we refused to sit down there with bins of rubbish, when we did sit down upstairs we had pots of tea delivered to the table, we then waited and waited for our sandwiches etc after about 45 minutes they arrived.

We visited Tiny Tim’s today with our 2 dogs & baby. They were so accommodating even though they had full tables with a group of cyclists. We all ordered something different & the food was delicious. All beautifully cooked & nicely presented. Nothing was too much trouble. Every customer had the same warm welcome & it was a pleasure dining there. The lady was lovely to talk to & is a real asset to the establishment. Thankyou very much & we look forward to coming back!

My grandson took my husband and myself here on Saturday for afternoon tea. It was one of the best we have had . Sandwiches, we're fresh well filled and excellent. Cakes and scones did not disappoint either. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A very enjoyable experience

Such a shame on a return visit to Rochester so though I’d visit tiny Tims as I remember there lovely scones so took my family in there for lunch on Sunday, when I came in instantly regretted it. There was an awful smell of grease. Young Waitress was lovely but couldn’t help but notice the rather rude owner. He was very abrupt when I asked to use the toilet and said point blank no because the party downstairs paid for it to be out of order. Not overall happy would rather go somewhere else and get better service for less money. Left feeling very upset as not only had the owner been rude to me but another man over a cup of tea while my husband was trying to pay. Won’t be returning sorry but very awful experience.

Went for afternoon tea for my birthday yesterday, was awful, frozen cakes, broken cake stand, massive man size sandwiches with really weird fillings, the chicken and bacon mayo was gross, didn't have hardly any fillings, strawberries bruised and warm and clotted cream warm n runny such a shame.. Expensive and over rated for what it is.. And the toilets are all out of order as well.. Defo not afternoon tea material

I had visited this place a few years ago and remembered it being a lovely place to stop for a cream tea, so on a recent visit to Rochester I visited again. On entering, it wasn't immediately clear whether it was table service or whether I had to go to the counter, so we simply sat at a table that had yet to be cleared and hoped for the best. On observing other customers I could see one group were eating a fry-up, whilst the other group were eating an afternoon tea from tiered cake stand; the juxtaposition was very odd. A very pleasant young lady came over, cleared the table for us and took our order. We decided on a cream tea and some other light snacks af a sausage roll and tea cake, all came in good time and were perfectly acceptable, though not of the quality I would think is possible for the price charged. There were nice little touches of strawberries with the cream tea and crisps and light salad leaves with the sausage roll, but I would prefer a higher quality sausage roll and fresh clotted cream with the scone than the extras. The tea came in a nice pot with a china cup and saucer, which again felt strange whilst sitting at a veneered plywood table on old pub seats. What made it feel even stranger was that there was a television on the back wall tuned to sky tv blurting out a commercial radio channel - why?!. In my view, this place doesn't know if it wants to be a greasy spoon cafe or a sophisticated tea room, but I know that if I want either in future, I will go elsewhere. Rochester doesn't need another low-end cafe, but the tourists and locals would love an English tea room offering a selection of quality cakes, drinks and sandwiches. Drop the fry-ups from the menu, give the place a clean, whitewash the dated 'scrooge' decor, invest in new quality furniture, don't store junk and supplies near the entrance where we can all see it, either prevent the chef (owner?) from coming up to the seating area, or at least put him in whites so we're not wondering about the hygiene of the kitchen, and it would get plenty of custom a year round and nobody would begrudge the price. The location and staff are an asset, the other things are letting it down.

We visited this place based on the Reviews here, and we have been extremely disappointed.

I took my mother and friend for a treat as seen the reviews and looked ok . Well when we walked in the door the entrance way and steps were rotten with dirt . That should have been the sign there and then to leave . We sat down and looked at the stained menu and I picked the vegan option only to be told got no vegan !!!! my friend the cheese ploughman’s that was advertised on the big board outside . My mother the cheese baguette . Well when it came up we thought we were in a different place as the pictures online showed there were crusty baguettes we were given as only I could describe as a long life sweet smelling hot dog roll!!!!! And my friends ploughman’s was the same roll no coleslaw and pickle like the pictures . So I went to the counter to ask if I could have pickle for the ploughman’s and was told if we had any we would have put it on your plate !!!!!!!

Really nice little place which is dog friendly amd welcoming. Nice homely food which makes a change fron all the chain restraunts.

We only had coffee here and it was .... okay. It looked a bit tired and the coffee was good enough, but not worthy of anything better than “average”. We’d had breakfast at Quills that morning and that was much better. We didn’t have food so can’t comment on that. I think there are better places in Rochester.

Visited here as it had very good reviews.
