"The stars are for the staff who were lovely. My friend and I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans. They arrived my friend had about 10 beans on her potato i didn't fare much better. Sent them back, was told they were doing a new order. We had at least 15 beans on this occasion and a bit of melted mild cheese. Wish I had taken a photo as the filling was minute. Won't be going back."

Rowlands Bistro

➤ 66 Watling Street, Gillingham ME7 2YW, United Kingdom, Medway

Steak • Bistro • Coffee • British

"We came for our Christmas Dinner, which as you can imagine was pretty expensive. Having processed the whole thing a few days later, I can only conclude we were badly ripped off. The best thing I can say about it is that the staff are very nice and friendly, there was a fun atmosphere in there, but the food was the stuff of school meals. For starters we all had pate. Pate and toast is impossible to mess up. Following that, came the Christmas fayre, I had turkey with all the trimmings. Firstly, you had to put up with it arriving with gravy all over it, and none extra in a gravy boat. The kids did not want gravy but I wasn 't about to start scraping it off onto my plate. The first massive disappointment was the Brussels sprouts, two of which were quite hard, some a little softer, but none cooked enough to be fit for Christmas dinner. I know it isn 't the fashion to boil veg to death these days, but neither should it be raw. The carrots weren 't much better, large under-cooked slices. There were two types of potatoes, boiled and roasted. If you 're going to do two, I prefer mash. However, if it were to continue in school meal style mash would be worse. It would probably arrive looking like it had been put on with an ice cream scoop just like at school. The turkey meat was tough as old boots. Usually the fault with turkey is dryness, but somehow it was very chewy and in thick slices. There was a lot of it. I mean, LOADS. Absolutely loads. The roast potatoes were curious. One of the kids said they were like Spanish chips by which she means patatas bravas. And they were. They tasted nothing like roast potatoes. The smell reminded me so much of school dinners. Potatoes from a British canteen. The desserts were alright, after all, you can 't really mess up a cheesecake you bought from a supermarket. The blob of whipped cream from a can was less than generous though. On the way home, I started to realise I 'd been had. For what we paid in there, we could have had an evening out in a proper French Bistro in San Sebastien, chomping on moules and langoustines cooked by a Michelin star chef. I did enjoy the general atmosphere. It is a very British place and that was pleasant. To share with my countrymen the meal that most represents our national character made it worthwhile. I also hate cooking Christmas Dinner these days. It did, however, remind me not to take my kids reaction to my Christmas Dinner too personally. They didn 't eat much of this one, either. At least I do eat my own and it is made to my liking. We may be staying home next year. I 'll save my pennies for the next time we 're in a country where the natives can cook."

The Sans Pareil

➤ 245 Frindsbury Hill, Medway, United Kingdom

Pizza • Steak • British • Chicken

"We were ladies alone but treated respectfully, and even though there were lots of men, probably from football, having a pint or two, we weren't disturbed and having to pop along to the bathroom was uneventful and acted like gentlemen which was nice The food was alright, l suppose. The roast potatoes were really disappointing and not particularly nice nor roasted, or crunchy as rosties should be but the vegan desert (sticky toffee pudding) was really hard and microwaved to an inch of its life and the vegan custard lumpy and tasteless It's a shame, but l can not even remember what food we'd ordered as it was that uneventful even though it was a Sunday lunch . It's sad as it's got a good view and its own carpalrk Our server was really nice and patient and helpful"

The Horseshoe Castle

➤ Main Road, Medway, United Kingdom

Fish • Wine • Pasta • Coffee

"Appalling! We were greeted by someone who claimed to be the manager, but her appearance and attitude suggested otherwise. She was incredibly rude to the staff, who were much more professional than she was. The food and service were mediocre, and we couldn't help but wonder if we were being pranked. Unfortunately, the bill confirmed that it was not a joke, as it was ridiculously overpriced. Be sure to check out the bar prices and menu before making a reservation, as it feels like daylight robbery. I suspect the positive rating is from family and friends. Avoid this place at all costs!"

Tarana

➤ 85 High Street, Medway, United Kingdom

Asian • Balti • Indian • Vegetarian

"Internal Decor 7.5/10 Hospitality 8.5/10 Poppadom Dipping Options 7/10 Taste 7/10 Value for Money 7/10 A personal recommendation led one of the KCC members to Tarana in Rainham, a previously uncharted territory. Initially surprised to see such an establishment so...busy on a Monday evening, by the waiters own admission they were short staffed, but the level of service didn’t drop. Poppadoms swiftly followed, well presented with a couple added complimentarily for good measure. It was once again a disappointment to see Lime Pickle on the dip selection… Once again we elected to choose from the chef special menu to get a true taste of the curry house. All curries were tasty but lacked the true flavour and spice we were craving. No doubt the chefs will be looking to up their game ahead of the busy festive season. No mystery curry was chosen this week. The hospitality took itself up a notch at the end of the meal when one of the guests was offered two Sambucas on the house. All in all, a restaurant we would visit again but not rush back to."

Tang's

➤ 26 High Street, ME4 4EP, Medway, United Kingdom

Pizza • Asian • Chinese • European

"had all they could eat. really like the smaller portions of freshly cooked foods. the choice of the starter was great and we were offered more as soon as we were finished. would recommend the squid. but honestly everything was excellent. we moved to the pancakes. again excellent. after that we had a place for a main course. the chicken with cashewn nuts in yellow bud sauce was very delicious and perfectly cooked. service was great and I will return definitiw."

Frankie Benny's

➤ United Kingdom, ME7 3PD, Medway

Steak • Pizza • Pasta • Cheese

"My husband, two daughters, and I recently visited this restaurant. The staff were extremely friendly and eager to assist. My youngest daughter is a picky eater and changed her mind after we had placed our order, but the staff were very understanding and asked the chef to prepare a child-sized meal from the main menu for her. The restaurant was clean and well-organized, with all the staff working diligently to ensure that everything and everyone was taken care of. The prices were very reasonable, and we all enjoyed our meals. The biscoff cookie was a particular favorite of my eldest daughter."

Taj Cuisine

➤ 1 Walderslade Centre, Walderslade Road, ME5 9UD, Medway, United Kingdom

Asian • Balti • Lunch • Indian

"We used to rate the Taj highly. But not after our latest visit. In a nutshell, to save you reading further, the staff were disinterested and rarely left the counter. The manager took umbrage at being asked to replace a bad drink. And the food was neither tasty nor hot. We arrived at 6.30 and the place was empty. As the manager passed I pointed out that my bottle of Sparkling Water was totally flat. We said it was Sparkling because it said so on the label and I'd got what I ordered. He then said that I'd opened it and poured it so I'd accepted it. And it wasn't his fault that there were no bubbles. He said if we wanted to leave that was OK. It seemed that unhapppy customers leaving didn't faze him. However my bottle was grudgingly replaced with a good one. The staff, and manager, appeared to be completely disinterested in what they were doing. They just went through the motions. It was really odd. The menu hails the great Chef Abdul. It must have been his day off. Sauces from supermarket bottles are better than those we had. We all commented that our meals were neither tasty nor spicy. And not heat-hot. It pains me to write a damning review but this place needs a wake-up call. We'd love to see it get back to what it used to be."

King George V

➤ 1 Prospect Row, Medway, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • Pizza • British

"My group of 11 people used to frequent this restaurant, often spending over £30 per round of drinks. Despite the initial smell of grease, which was eventually resolved after a thorough cleaning, we found it to be a pleasant place to visit. However, on our last visit, we were unaware that there was a private function for Burns night taking place a day late. Despite bringing our own drinks and no signs indicating a private event, the manager's mother rudely insisted that we move as the tables were reserved (without any visible signs). After explaining the situation, she left and returned 15 minutes later, again demanding that we move without any apology for the lack of organization or inconvenience caused to us. We will not be returning to this restaurant in the future."

The chilli and salt chips were delicious, but then again so was everything we ordered. Thank you for a delicious dinner Mandarin House. We will be returning customers for sure and will highly recommend to everyone."

The Poachers Pocket

➤ 135 Walderslade Road, Medway, United Kingdom, ME5 0NB

Pub • Steak • Vegan • British

"We were very disappointed yesterday evening. Now we have been coming here for years from young children, as we grew up in weedswood. And we know the owner Toni and have done for many years and we have never ever had any issues here in the past. The food is usually outstanding, staff are generally polite but yesterday evening we made a booking for a family meal. We came in to be standing at the door for over 10 minutes waiting for someone to approach us and sit us at our table, the staff acknowledged us several times but still made no effort to come over to us which resulted in us going over to the bar to find out where are table was. As soon as we walked in the pub, everyone just stared over at us like we were inhuman and I genuinely feel it was because my husband is foreign. We were receiving vile looks. We then ordered our food and drinks that came to £65. And when the food arrived we was so disappointed. We ordered a meal from the menu that didn’t state it had cinnamon on top on the menu, it was chicken and the chef had literally just threw cinnamon powder on top it was absolutely disgusting. We then asked if we could have the same again without the cinnamon due to an allergic reaction. Which when we ordered at the bar we was not asked if there is any allergies anyway, but even if we were it was not stated on the menu so how can we be aware. The manager on that shift then came over looked at us like absolute filth. And said we can’t do you that again you can have something from the pub classics which are £8 now we had just paid nearly £15 for the meal. So we refused, and he said that we should of logged onto the app and looked for allergic reactions before ordering never ever have I experienced such bad customer service and another lady in the pub witnessed all of this and came over to us and acted said good on you as she noticed the way we were treated. In the end my husband asked for a burger and chips and was up all night throwing it up anyway. My sister whom also asked for steak medium it was raw inside. Now we own 3 businesses which to one is a restaurant and never ever would we treat any customer in this way. Genuinely if someone isn’t happy with their food it gets replaced. Not every excuse made. We also added on our booking we needed one high chair that we never got The manager then went back over the bar complaining and speaking very high to the other staff looking over at our table which is very unprofessional and made us feel very uncomfortable at this point. The management is very very poor and so is the staff here now and it’s such a shame as I used to love this pub. And they used to be very respectful and welcoming. And in regards to the chef he clearly doesn’t know how to cook. So I am not happy at all with our experience. And I will be reporting to trading standards."

Cliffe Spice

➤ 17 Parkside, ME3 8HX, Medway, United Kingdom

Curry • Asian • Balti • Indian

"This establishment used to be very nice but has soon turned to rubbish, the main waiter was absolutely useless wandering around like a headless chicken not having a single clue or care to give leaving the poor girl behind the bar to do ALL the work she was the ONLY good thing about the place. The table that was there before us waited 2 hours for their food as did we when we finally got round to being waited on. The cooks couldn't have been any slower if they would have had their hands tied behind their backs and blindfolds on. When we finally received our meals every dish tasted the same which would have been alright if any of it tasted any good. The whole time we was there there was people standing in the middle of the restaurant for hours waiting for collection food. Not a good experience at all. Won't be going back."

Lahore Karahi House

➤ 164 High Street, ME7 1, Medway, United Kingdom

The Pier Pub

Pub • Fish • Steak • British

"Went for lunch with husband. We both had a daily special. Which although took a little longer was well worth the wait. The Pier has a lovely nortical themed bar. The staff were friendly. There is outside seating with views of river medway x only downside no parking. Would recommend. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"

The Three Crutches

➤ Old Watling Street, Medway, United Kingdom

Meat • Cafés • Steak • Salads

"First visit for a number of years. Decor had clearly been updated recently and felt fresh and clean, but still cosy. Will definitely become a regular again. Food was delicious, we both opted for a duo of meat Sunday Lunch, so tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive, and good selection of beers, ciders and ales."

Twydall Cafe

➤ 16 Twydall Green, ME8 6JY, Medway, United Kingdom

Grill • Coffee • British • Barbecue

"This restaurant is a pleasant place to enjoy a meal and unwind. It is situated among a row of shops with a view overlooking the parking lot. The cafe is easily identifiable by the red lettering above the large window. Upon entering, it may seem ordinary until noticing the black and white photos on the walls, particularly ones of New York. I had a satisfying full English breakfast with a variety of options, accompanied by a mug of tea. While it may have a working-class appearance, the atmosphere is welcoming and there are daily newspapers available for diners. The car park is free, and the restaurant is run by two friendly individuals. Customers order and pay before taking a seat, and there is a steady flow of patrons, especially during peak hours. The lunch menu offers a wide selection ranging from chicken curry to gammon grill, with a dedicated children's menu as well. Additionally, there are sandwiches, burgers, pies, jacket potatoes, and more, ensuring there is something for everyone. The opening hours are from 7:30 am to 3 pm Monday to Friday, and 8 am to 2 pm on Saturdays. Overall, I believe it offers good value for the money."

Burger Knights

➤ 30 High Street, Medway, United Kingdom

Kebab • European • American • Fast Food

"Went for light lunch. Food was lovely, according to my kids a bit too much Mayo in the wraps. Waitress was very polite and looked after us. Pictures were taken after I poured my rice into my curry and kids had taken a mouthful Only downside was we weren’t greeted that nicely by the older lady, it was like she didn’t really want us to come in. Both myself and my wife said goodbye to her and got no reply. She was obviously busy but should always look to say goodbye to your customers."

Chicken Cottage

➤ 276 High Street, ME4 4NR, Medway, United Kingdom

Halal • Chicken • British • Fast Food

"So I made an order on uber eats, as you can see in my order I asked for a chicken kebab wrap. Not only does the packaging say “Lamb kebab” but the wrap was also filled with lamb. I rung the shop up and they basically told me I was lying and that it was chicken, and told me that the writing on the packaging was a mistake. I can assure you this tastes and smells like lamb, AND looks like it too. I hung up in anger as they didn’t seem to be doing anything to correct my order. In all the experience with this place was shocking and their customer service was very bad. Never going here again, not being called a liar over the phone when it’s clearly lamb."

Sandhu Takeaway

➤ 2 Franklin Road, Medway, United Kingdom

Fish • Chicken • Fast Food • Fish And Chips

"Ordered from here a number of times before and its always been good. However on this occasion my order Doner Meat Chips) arrived but when I opened the carrier bag with the polystyrene container inside...... IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DRIPPING IN FAT OR OIL!!!! The paper wrapped round the container was about 75% covered in the stuff and more residue was actually inside the bottom of the carrier bag : Added to that,, once I had unwrapped the paper, I also found that the polystyrene food container within was also covered in the greasy liquid!!! Never had this happen before and it was that bad that I had to go and wash my hands to remove all the oil on them before I could even start to eat my food. Not what Ive previously enjoyed from this place, hence only a 2 star for food quality."
