Please don't be fooled by the 5 star reviews, this was 4-6 years ago when this place was good. Went a few days ago, front staff was blah, took one look at the menu and realised it all changed and prices rocketed, but I thought let's give it a try. Ordered steak, friends ordered rack of ribs. The steak was over cooked and chewy, ribs was half the size with no flavour. Then ordered sticky toffee, there was no sticky or toffee about it!! I have had better food in a pub and for what they charge one would expect a fine dining experience. Very overpriced and nothing special about it, just a dingy, dark and cold place. WILL NOT BE RETURNING!!

We love going to Brettingtons, the steaks are always cooked perfect, the food and service is top notch! When ever we have family in town it's our number one go to restaurant!

Booked dinner to celebrate my partner's 40th birthday, and could not have been any more pleased. The food was amazing... the service exceptionally quick... lovely atmosphere all round. Thank you so much to all the staff this evening!

One of our favourite restaurants in Rochester - lovely food and atmosphere, and friendly service.We've had a couple of times where our steaks have been slightly overcooked, but otherwise always a great experience.

Great food, amazing atmosphere, and value for money for the quality your getting. Staff are amazing and very attentive. Hidden gem in Rochester. Will definately be returning. Truffle mash goes with everything!

Visited for dinner on Saturday night. Food was fantastic, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We opted for three courses and each course did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend and will be returning for a meal soon!

Absolutely loved the food. By far and away the best restaurant in Rochester. Loved the staff,Great energy, funny and natural. Max our waiter made the whole evening very entertaining just by being himself. Excellent portions for great value ?

We visited Brettington’s as a large group for my dad’s birthday. We all had a fantastic time but was a lovely experience for a special family meal. Food was well present and delicious. We did have a small issue with a couple of the meals but was resolved immediately. The service was impeccable from every member of staff but particularly front of house (sorry I didn’t get your name) Would recommend!

Visited Brettington's on Sunday for lunch with family. A total of 6 adults and 2 children. The atmosphere was great and we were looked after by the staff very well. Food was great with lovely starters brought out quickly and then our mains were fantastic. Great wine list too and even a birthday ice cream for one of the children. Great service throughout and defiantly somewhere I would return too.
Fantastic place, whether its the whole family to the perfect first date. Great atmosphere, food, drink just a little jem to know of.

Very very disappointed! Had table booked for months for my birthday, lady called in the afternoon to confirm our booking and to let us know about the dress code, I asked if if boots where ok, she said that’s fine, went to our booking and was refused entry and was very rude and didn’t really have an I treat in listening to what we said! I was so disappointed and upset and we travelled especially and forked out for a hotel just to come here, one star! Do not visit

PUBLICLY SHAMED. Turned up to the venue and was told we cannot be served as we don’t look smart enough. For reference I was wearing CLEAN black and white converse, black suit trousers, Hugo boss black jumper. The girlfriend was wearing a Harrington jacket with a grey knitted jumper underneath, also wearing converse. This was embarrassing and was said loudly infront of customers. We have been to many establishments that specify “Smart Casual” and have never been made to feel this way. Shame on them - we will never be returning. The member of staff did not even look very presentable herself.

Came here today For lunch. Service was good to start with then it went downhill. It was absolutely freezing cold and wasn’t enjoyable eating dinner. Manager said all the heating is on but no hot air was coming out of the air-conditioning unit On the ceiling. We was never asked if our meal was okay and we had to call someone else for another drink and then ask for the dessert menu. There was enough staff, so this is not acceptable. I could understand if it was a harvester, but it’s not it’s an Expensive Restaurants, so there is no excuse. The side door was left open as they had a delivery and it was freezing cold, It was the poor young girl who kept shutting it.It’s not a cheap restaurant for lunch as our bill came to over £90.They even had the cheek to put 12 ,1/2% Service charge which I would have asked them be removed it but my partner didn’t want to cause a fuss. I would certainly not recommend it or go back there unless they buck their ideas up.There is so much more better restaurants with better service.This is how businesses go under From bad reviews, I hope the manager sees this and sorts, the heating out and the service
