TOPES restaurant is a double AA Rosette awarded modern European restaurant centrally located in Rochester High Street in Kent. Chris Small, head chef and co-owner, has created several different menus, including a special set price lunch and mid-week evening menu, a la carte menu for Friday and Sunday evenings and traditional roasts on Sunday. All ingredients are bought in fresh on a daily basis from local suppliers and the menus reflect seasonal produce. Chris also creates specials that change everyday. Though, whatever the season, good food is always the priority.TOPES was established in October 2004 by husband and wife Chris and Julie. Previously, Chris has worked in several London City private dining rooms and West End restaurants. Julie, who runs the front-of-house, also worked in London, but joined the restaurant full-time shortly after opening. They are both committed to providing a fine dining experience for all customers.The restaurant is set in a 15th, 16th and 17th Century building and many of the original features remain. However, the restaurant has a modern feel to it to reflect the modern style of dishes on offer.
