You might be interested in the Financial Section on this site. Banks, like Building Societies, often have a restricted range of services - and are notoriously conservative when investing your money. This usually results in very low rates of return. Our financial section covers other Financial Institutions, Mortgages, Investment Consultants, Credit & Finance Companies - and Crowd Funding!

Also see below for all the Building Societies around Your Postcode with their contact details. Just click through to go to a map, street views, reviews and a link to their own websites.

Banks

TSB Bank

208-210 High St, Chatham ME4 4AP, UK – 01634 699998

I rang for a bit of advice and the representative was quite defensive and talked over me when my call was not a criticism. Perhaps need to work on their telephone manners

Always friendly good banking service where you talk to a person not a machine

Lloyds Bank

142-146 High St, Chatham ME4 4DQ, UK – 0345 300 0000

Really kind staff. I recommend to everyone

Great branch with friendly staff working in there too. Great to have a good bank still around-they can never do enough for you.

NatWest

56 High St, Rochester ME2 4AG, UK – 0345 788 8444

Very helpful staff especially the young blonde girl, shame that the older generation can't use the ATM or online banking for their banking needs They cause the queue's! Never queued to use the ATM inside the branch and never have to queue using the online app!!!

Very helpful staff. Although looks small, service is quick

Building Societies

The Co-operative Bank - Chatham

26 Military Rd, Chatham ME4 4JX, UK

Outstanding customer service, the staff are friendly, helpful and efficient.

The cooperative bank branch in Chatham is so customer friendly and the staff very helpfull. We have been with them since we moved to Medway in 1970 and hope that this is not a branch registered for closure.

Dental Surgeries

Thakray Dental Practice

11 Central Rd, Rochester ME2 3HF, UK – 01634 716840

Went here yesterday and the staff were very understanding with me having a fear of the dentist. I needed to have an extraction, but I have only had this done while being put to sleep... They reasurred me and made me comfortable enough to have this done there and then. So happy that I over came my fear and very pleased with the staff and how they dealt with the situation. Brilliant practice and fantastic friendly staff. Thank you, Natalie

Fantastic and friendly staff. I also want to say a massive thank you to Tulip . Highly recommend them for someone who does not like the dentist they really do put you at ease ☺

Longford Dental Centre,

45 Cuxton Rd, Rochester ME2 2BU, UK – 01634 723086

Lovely people. It's been my dentist for 10 years now and wouldn't change for nothing 😊

Love the new building. So clean and fresh. Friendly staff. Appointment times sometimes run over, but never sat long waiting. Easy to get an appointment too.

Gibraltar Dental Practice

Gibraltar House, New Road, Chatham ME4 4RY, UK – 01634 400128

I am incredibly nervous of dentists and all things dental; recently had a tooth removed under sedation, the care taken by all concerned was second to none, they even rang me the day after to make sure I was ok and that if there was a problem then I must not hesitate to call them. Would highly recommend them.

I am a very anxious person when it came to the dentist, but when I went for sedation to have 4 teeth out I couldn’t have been made more at ease. I met two gentlemen one a dentist and the other a dentist who gave me the sedation. They took me through what teeth were coming out and what would happen next regarding dentures etc. I want to thank everyone at Gibraltar House for making me feel less afraid!

Borstal Village Surgery

25 Wouldham Rd, Rochester ME1 3JY, UK – 01634 408765

Used to be excellent. Over the last year, not quite as good as it once was. An example....tried to get my prescription but closed for staff training; Phoning for an appointment and told there is nothing today and phone again tomorrow. I personally do not understand this- surely make the appointment for when they do have a slot instead of hoping for the best next day. Otherwise, cannot fault them.

Great experience today. Nurse stone was amazing. Thank you.

Bryant Street Medical Centre

29 Bryant St, Chatham ME4 5QS, UK – 01634 848911

I have been with this practice for only a few months. So far it has been very good. The only suggestion would be to update waiting area and reception. It is quite old fashioned and dreary. Getting appointments has been good and referrals when neccesary excellent.

Dr I M Ali

68 New Rd, Chatham ME4 4QR, UK – 01634 828665

Brilliant doctor, appointments the same day. Been going since I can remember. Would definitely recommend

NHS Direct is now NHS 24. Just dial 111 to speak to a professional or click the link below for there self help website. Lots of really useful info but keep clear of heart surgery! If in doubt ask your GP or call 111. Good luck.

Local Restaurants & Places to Eat around Strood

Thai Four Two Restaurant

164 High St, Rochester ME1 1EX, UK – 01634 840451

I have been here a few times and I love it. I must admit I have never had bad service or bad food. The food is lovely, some of the best Tai food I have had. The presentation on the food is excellent. Prices can be surprising if you are greedy (like me) and dont add everything up, but it is worth it. The location is really good on Rochester high street. - Pros Good Food Good Service Wonderful evening - Cons None I will come here again in the near future.

Such delicious food. Never dissapoints. Their pad Thai is the best I've tasted. We like really spicy food and they are always happy to add more chilli for us. It's best to book if you can. It is popular here.

Trattoria Marcella

124 High St, Chatham ME4 4BY, UK – 01634 846812

The food is great, and for what you get the prices are amazing! Slightly higher on more premium and specialist dishes, but that's to be expected given the quality. Get down there and try it out!

Very nice place and excellent all round food and wine and service and unlike the majority of eateries in Medway, Viz Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham...

Naz's Rasoi

135 High St, Rochester, Strood ME2 4TJ, UK – 01634 712555

We had a takeaway last night and the food was delicious. Didn't have to wait long, food was hot and really tasty. Highly recommended.
