    We have had many meals here over the years and never had a bad experience! Until last night. Starters were ok, the mains were definitely not to the standard we would expect from Brettingtons, lamb rump steak was tepid and difficult to cut. Steaks were over done and dry. I did mention to waitress when she cleared the plates and she said she would pass on our message to the chef. Service from waitresses was excellent as always, shame the food let down a normally pleasant experience.

    50th birthday meal with friends. Our first experience at Brettingtons which was highly recommended for the best steak you will ever eat, And we were not disappointed. We were greeted with a welcoming smile and seated immediately despite being 15 mins early. As a group of 4 we sampled the pork scratchings as a while u wait, crispy beef and calamari starters Both were impressive served hot and full of flavour. For mains we had Rib eye or fillet steak, served rare to well done (sacrilege i know) all were cooked to perfection, succulent, melt in the mouth and very tasty. Accompanied with mushroom, blue cheese, hollandaise or peppercorn sauces (all of which were divine) Sides of onion rings, mushrooms and fries were great too. We also shared a ½ lobster which was moist, flavourful and the best we ever had. All in all ,we would highly recommend this restaurant if you want the best steak in kent and we will be returning. Brettingtons is by no means a cheap place to eat but for us as a special occasion it was worth every penny and couldn't be happier with the overall dining experience. Big thanks to Claudio our waiter for his patience and expertise 😊

    My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary and chose Brettingtons in Rochester to have our meal at. This was the first time we had been here and it will definitely not be the last. The meal was outstanding. We had the chateaubriand and it was cooked to perfection. Cheesecake for dessert was also amazing. The staff were friendly and engaging and the whole evening was wonderful. Highly recommend.

    The service was fantastic, attentive and friendly, and the food was stunning. We had filet steak and half a lobster which was absolutely delicious, the best peppercorn sauce! Really good wine list and my son adored the warm chocolate cake, and the 2 special passion fruit mojito mocktails. Highly recommend this restaurant - such high quality.

    I planned to tip the staff with cash. The service charge was added automatically. I also felt rushed with ordering.
