Review of Elizabeth's of Eastgate, Rochester

Housed in a historic Tudor building a couple of minutes' walk from the cathedral and Rochester castle, Elizabeth's of Eastgate is moving with the times. It's a comfortable place noted for its relaxed atmosphere and friendly, professional service: 'you are made to feel special and welcome, not just a number,' concluded one satisfied Mobile Food Guide reporter.

The exterior still testifies to the building's age and history, but the decor and menu tell a different story. Visitors can look forward to a mix of classic British and French-inspired dishes ranging from grilled slip sole with herb crushed potatoes and tartare sauce or roast Barbary duck breast with Madeira jus to a duo of Romney Marsh lamb with lyonnaise potatoes and rosemary jus.

You could begin with pan-fried tiger prawns with sweet chilli jam or salad of Cornish crab with lumpfish caviar & lime vierge, and round things off with Baileys parfait or crepes suzettes. Traditional roast beef lunches are served on Sundays. The 80-bin wine list is a carefully considered selection, with Spain and France offering the most interesting possibilities.
