The best restaurants in Peninsula Medway South East

We love this cafe - we're there quite often for lunch or a weekend breakfast. My mother-in-law also loved it there but sadly passed away recently - and we asked if we could hold the wake there after the service. Kathy, Lisa and her team could not have done more for us - it made the perfect afternoon. Nothing was too much trouble - the catering was great, everything flowed brilliantly and even Dean from the airfield itself helped loading our Spotify playlist. It was the perfect end to an emotional day and her friends and family loved it. Would highly recommend anyway as a cafe - but they went above and beyond.

What can I say amazing food delicious staff lovely friendly 14 of us service great definitely go back thank you xx

Hi...visited for a third year for a pre-Xmas lunch...and it all went a bit wrong. There was a mix-up with the menus (There were at least 3 and maybe 5 menus between Xmas, Sunday, Xmas special, Sunday special and something else, it was difficult to tell)...nonetheless, the table staff were great and the food was good, and these things happen...hey-ho. Then the manager who was walking the bar area, asked if everything was ok as he passed by, so we mentioned the menu mix up, expecting a friendly exchange, but instead he said that perhaps we couldn't read ?...he then pointed to a sign, that couldn't be seen behind one of the occupied tables that said that dogs couldn't go on the seats (We have 2 very well behaved small dogs for which we had brought seat blankets to lie on)...it doesn't sound that bad as I write this down, but there was no apology (first rule of customer service is always apologise for what's happened, even if it's not your fault), you could sense the arrogance of the guy and he even charged us for the extra accompaniments (basic vegetables) that were provided to fix the cock-up with the menus...he spoilt what was supposed to be our treat for Christmas and couldn't have cared less. I have never reviewed any where we've eaten before (as you can probably gather), but his attitude really got under our skin...and we're still talking about it now....needless to say, we're never going back.

Great place for good food, lovely folk run the tea room. Seating both inside and out overlooking Middle Stoke Marshes. Good place for a coffee/tea and something to eat after a long walk

Absolutely love it there very friendly and lovely food and drinks definitely going there again x

Just had a delicious take away from Hoo Spice. Fabulous food, delivered promptly, can't fault it. Thank you.

We visited the Riverside Diner on an early Sunday afternoon whilst undertaking a circular walk from Upnor village along the Medway and back. We first noticed the signs for a café after passing through Port Werburgh and Hoo Marina and being just past the halfway stage of the walk decided to stop for a quick drink and a snack. The Riverside Diner has a number of car parking spaces and both inside and outside seating. The café itself is located in a portable building and once inside we thought that it was a hidden gem. When we arrived there were already some tables in use and also a couple reserved. The interior is very light and airy and well maintained and clean. There is a very good selection of food and drink available and at very reasonable prices. We both had a cup of tea and a round of biscuits. The two ladies serving here were very friendly and helpful and overall the café had a very welcoming ambience. There are customer toilets available here with disabled access should you need it. All in all a very welcome surprise on our walk and we would certainly revisit should we pass this way again and unreservedly recommend to others.

This is a lovely place to meet with friends or family for lunch or coffee and cakes. Lovely food, very friendly and helpful staff and the whole place has a nice relaxed atmosphere

Great chips and great value for money. First time I have been here and I will definitely be returning and recommend to anyone.

Been here 6 times now! The food & service has been great every time! The new refurb looks great!

This is the best Indian food by far, for takeaway or sit down meal. Parking out back, good service and friendly staff. The food is to die for,great for large or small groups.

Very friendly and very good service the food is amazing

Always very attentive & chatty, large choice & good quality food 👌

Great little pub, ordered a couple of drinks and very pleasantly surprised at the pricing unlike so many other establishments these days, food menu is simple but again very competitively priced, nice outside area if thev weather is being kind.

Didn’t eat but popped in for a drink. Lovely pub, friendly staff bust atmosphere and a real fire. Loved it. Will be back
