Best Restaurants for Groups in Penshurst

Myself and 3 friends have a very enjoyable evening on Saturday. The reason I chose The Brasserie was that it had both vegetarian and gluten free options which we needed. Unfortunately there were no gluten free buns available for the burger and also no gluten free brownie. We all felt this was very disappointing and my friend who suffers from coeliac disease only had the starter she wanted available to her. It definitely was not gluten free friendly on Saturday night

First time at the vineyard since the recent refurbishment, we received a warm greeting on an arrival! The staff service and food was amazing and we will definitely be returning in the new year!

We went to Essence for our pre-xmas dinner date and had an amazing dinner with super attentive, fabulous service. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant and we will be back!

Rocca: A Delicious Introduction to Greek Cuisine Rocca was my first experience with Greek food, and I have to say—it was incredible! I stepped out of my comfort zone by trying something new for both my starter and main, and I’m so glad I did. Each dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented, making the entire meal a memorable one. One of the highlights of the evening was the open kitchen. Watching the chefs work their magic, flames and all, added a theatrical element to the experience. The evening started quietly, which allowed for attentive and efficient service from our server. However, as the restaurant filled up later in the night, the service naturally slowed down a little. This was completely understandable given how busy it got, and the staff still made sure we were well looked after. Rocca also catered wonderfully to all our needs, and their cocktails were truly fantastic. If you’re a cocktail fan, I’d recommend giving them a try. Overall, Rocca was a wonderful introduction to Greek cuisine, and I’d happily return for another meal. If you’re looking for flavorful food, a buzzing atmosphere, and great drinks, it’s definitely worth a visit!

Lovely starters and pudding but main course disappointing. I had roast beef but the Yorkshire puddings were overcooked and beef difficult to cut. I also prefer to add my own gravy as it smothered the plate. We hoped to add Salomon's to our shortlist for wedding venues but the food unfortunately did not have that extra special quality. However the staff were very good and helpful in letting us look at the wedding areas.
