The best restaurants serving British food in River Medway South East

There are less and less of the old school greasy spoons. The SAS Rogue Heroes 2 recce crew think it is the dogs ......

Bit greasy this time round sadly. Considering it's quite an expensive restaurant then quality was a little low.

A great place for the more sophisticated in Medway. Great music, old skool classics. Can get a bit busy. Definitely the best spot in Rochester. Its a bit of old skool disco.

Fantastic place very good service fantastic food happy staff can’t do enough for you. It’s the first time we visited the Falcon. We do live in Bristol but we passed this place many times when we’re in Kent visiting family highly recommended.

1st October. Absolutely FANTASTIC. Tasting menu Loved all of it. Paris was a star!! Our son started college here & wants to be a chef. He will be in very good hands.

I got really drunk here. It was great

Just had a Roast Chicken and a Roast Lamb Dinner delivered. It was still piping hot and delicious. Great price and value, 1 meal had 3 slices of Lamb, 2 nd meal had 1/4 Chicken with both having:- 3 roast potatoes, carrots, peas, Yorkshire pud and gravy. Apple Pie and Custard for Desert.

Went out for a family meal 6 of us. Three had the lamb which was OK with plenty of meat. The 3 roast chicken dinners were very disappointing. Only 2 small dry pieces of chicken no bigger than an half of an egg. Nothing like the description on the menu of fresh cooked roast chicken. A tiny single piece if stem broccoli, the roast potatoes not that roasted. The mash, Yorkshire, carrots OK. But little things like ordered diet coke without ice, came with ice. I'm sure this is done to ensure you get less drink. Dinners then arrived without cutlery for all 6. Had to wait for 2 sets. No one came to ask how our meal was. Really disappointed after it was recommended. Is it because it's new management. It wasn't busy at all as it was 1.45. Wouldn't recommend it at all.

On 20th July 2024, my husband and myself had paid for ourselves and our two daughters to go on the Call The Midwife Tour - we were celebrating our eldest daughter's birthday and because we are all MASSIVE fans of Call The Midwife my husband and I bought the tour tickets and at the time of buying the Tour tickets we also bought the Cream Tea £6.95pp. We had bought the tickets weeks prior and were so excited when the actual day arrived. After the Call The Midwife Tour (which I do NOT recommend - see my review) finished we walked along to The Mess Deck Restaurant to enjoy our Cream Tea. We were greeted by a member of waiting staff. My eldest daughter showed her the tickets whilst saying "Hello, we are here for our afternoon Cream Tea!" and the waiting staff snatched the tickets out of her hand (literally!) then counted to confirm the number (4) and very heavily threw them on the counter and turned towards the fridge. I looked at my eldest daughter and she looked at me. (We are being served by the most unhappy, miserable, bad attitude member of waiting staff). The member of waiting staff turned to place - two at a time - our Cream Tea all on ONE tray. The waiting staff simply looked at my eldest daughter and said "hot or cold". My eldest daughter said "excuse me". The waiting staff then sighed, took a deep breath and repeated her question very angrily "hot or cold? do you want the scones warmed up or left cold?. My eldest daughter replied "hot please, thank you very much". The waiting staff then continued with our request and literally "threw" everything on the tray together. What a bloody mess! One strawberry fell on the floor for which my eldest daughter had to ask for another and when the waiting staff asked why, my eldest daughter said "because it fell on the floor" and the waiting staff was NOT happy with this and "huffed" whilst placing another one on the plate. As the tray was "overloaded" and "unsafe" to carry, my eldest daughter fetched another tray and split the Cream Tea in half. Well, bad idea, the waiting staff wanted us gone! As we picked up our trays the waiting staff said "we shut at 5pm and it is 4.30pm now. We said "OK" and found a table. Would I recommend Cream Tea - No Would I recommend The Mess Deck Restaurant - No Today was about celebrating our eldest daughter's birthday. Our eldest daughter had been saving for quite a while to go on Call The Midwife Tour and whilst booking for that we noticed Cream Tea for £6.95pp and thought - why not! birthday treat! My husband and I did pay for both events as her birthday present for which my daughter has since apologised for "wasting our money". What we have taken away from our day is the lasting memory of the waiting staff and the way in which she served us and again , our daughter has apologised for her too! All in all a complete waste of money!

OASIS CAFE in gillingham is The place to avoid. This is not Sunday roast is a frozen slobber trying to get covered by gravy, which I have specifically requested to be added on the side But the cook decided he was not in the mood. Extremely rude staff that do not care about any dietary requirements, and are extremely rude , actually raising their voice to The Customer and second One putting The Phone down when you complain. Just Eat UK should remove this nonsence of Cafe from their platform P.S Even my Dog refused to Eat it
