Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Pembury

Impeccable as always. Amazingly presented and delicious food. Attentive service (but not at all intrusive) from friendly and knowledgeable team. Highly recommend

Had the Winter lunch menu, outstanding as usual. Service top notch.

Our Christmas dinner at Essence was perfect in every way. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly served. The staff were very warm and friendly. All the thoughtful little extras were much appreciated. Everything was memorable and special and we may make this a family Christmas tradition!

Because it is not a huge restaurant, I always feel that when I eat here it is more intimate and personal. You are able to have a conversation without it being too noisy and I’ve always found the food to be a good quality. Sometimes the service is slow but generally we always leave the feeling satisfied.

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!
