The presentation of the food was amazing and all the items on the menu sounded delicious! The staff were very polite and it was a very relaxed atmosphere. It can be busy at times though, but you are able to reserve a table if you wish. It was a lovely experience and I would recommend this place to anyone who’s thinking of going. 🙂

Had a wonderful lunch for two today at this delightful cafe. The Cali-Benny from the Specials Board and the Bacon Sarnie were perfectly cooked and delicious, all quality ingredients too and a lovely choice of drinks to choose from. Service was excellent and the latte coffee simply cannot be beaten, best coffee I’ve ever had!
Rating: 5 / 5
We visited for the first time today and everything was spot on and made the 35 minute journey from Rochester worthwhile. The coffee is as good as it gets and the food every bit as good as well. I had the Breakfast Burger which was very tasty and my partner had the Rarebit Crumpets which were every bit as as good. Most importantly the staff were all happy and informative and all in all it made for a great experience.

I found Adam to be very professional and trustworthy. I had two different issues with electrics in one part of my house, one of which was how another electrician left it. Adam found the faults and explained very carefully the different options we had to getting power back into the rooms. He carried out the agreed work the same day and got it all working which I didn't think would be possible. He tested the electric circuit and explained what it meant. I'm very happy we decided to use Adam and have no second thoughts about recommending him to others including friends and family. Thank you.
Rating: 5 / 5
I have used Adam for 3 jobs now; fitting some extra sockets, putting in an outside light and moving a ceiling rose. I have found Adams work to be of a very high standard with the jobs completed in the timescale stated. Adam works neatly and cleanly and his prices are very competitive too. Would definitely recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
Had Adam come on several occasions. Very professional, clean, tidy and reliable. His workmanship is second to none. We wouldn’t use anyone else now for all of our electrical work. 100% trust worthy we always leave him a key so he can come and go during the day while we are at work, so much easier for us having someone we can trust while we’re not home.
Rating: 5 / 5
Adam provides an excellent professional service. He did a very thorough check of my electrics and installed a new consumer unit. Hard working, reliable, really neat job, very impressed with his work, would highly recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
Adam was both professional, timely and thorough when working in my house. He took care with his work and was very organised and tidy. Would highly recommend him for any electrical work!

Brilliant! Darren stopped our house going up in flames so what more can I say 😂 Darren is a walking encyclopaedia of electrical knowledge and governance but explains everything in an easy to understand way. Was clear from the get-go on pricing, answers queries promptly, turns up when he says he going to and is honest. Work was completed quickly and efficiently, looking forward to him coming back to complete the other work we have that needs doing. I generally don’t feel comfortable around people due to social anxieties, but Darren is great be be around and loves dogs, so that’s all good in my book 😂
Rating: 5 / 5
A friendly and professional service. Darren soon had my lights working again! I would recommend this company.
Rating: 5 / 5
Darren is a very personable and friendly man. I have used him to do numerous jobs, over the past few years, adding and changing sockets, changing and fitting most of our ceiling lights, fitting external sensor floodlights, fitting all of our external Ring security and also adding new external weather-proof sockets. I think on nearly every occasion I have been shocked by the cost, always expecting the work to cost more than Darren charges! Darren always responds to request messages quickly, is relatively quick to book you in, always keeps his appointment and is never late. I have recommended him to friends and neighbours on a few occasions and the feedback is always very positive. Call him, book him, use him, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you Voltage Electrical Services Ltd. Voltage Electrical Services were prompt in assessing and arranging solutions on a cosmetic and electrical fault in our garage. On the day of the works we received a text in the morning stating an approximate time of arrival. Darren the electrician arrived presenting himself in a calm and professional manner, he was very helpful and knowledgeable taking time to ask questions about our specific requirements, custom design and providing a completion timescale. The work was carried out to a high standard and completed within the day as scheduled. We are so pleased with the results. Thank you Darren and Voltage Electrical!

Rating: 4.9 (18) Price Level:
We had a cooked breakfast at The Signal Box café at Hollingbourne station this morning. Excellent food, good coffee and tea selection and a friendly atmosphere. After sitting empty for years, the traditional Victorian station building has been sympathetically refurbished with comfortable tables and chairs and even fresh flowers on the tables. We didn't try the cakes but will do next time, they looked excellent!
Rating: 5 / 5
What's not to love? A superb example of how a community rail project can provide an excellent facility to the local community using existing buildings. Also great friendly service and a good selection of drinks, bakes and light snacks. We should all get behind and support initiatives like this, you won't get it back when they are gone.

This is one of our favourite restaurant, usually you have to book 3 weeks in advance but was so lucky to get in today as we was in the area. My husband have his usually steak and I have my usual lobster 😁 service was excellent as usual too.
Rating: 5 / 5
My first visit to this restaurant with friends who had been before. A relaxing atmosphere with excellent Jazz ballards playing at just the right volume in the background. We had the lunch menu. The choice for all three courses were excellent. So it took a while to decide as I would have liked to order all of it! The standard of food was excellent for all four of us. It ranks equally with some of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Very friendly staff.

I’ve waited years to go here. Fish on the Green has always had a great reputation and I finally got round to trying it with family. This place does not disappoint. Delicious food (try the monkfish) and lovely staff. Can’t wait to return and try more from the menu!

I had dinner with my friends here and it was brilliant. The food was all delicious and hot, we had seven dishes between three of us and two side plates of bread and it was just right! Lovely and friendly service, and the building itself is absolutely beautiful. It has a real family restaurant feel to it and the tables are decorated beautifully. I will definitely return here.

Really good food and service. We found the chorizo a bit fat compared to what we usually get, but paella was delicious.

Loved it. As a Spanish person, I find it really hard to find good Spanish places in the UK (outside of London). Very pleased to find an actual Spanish-run one. WE LOVED IT! 🙂
Rating: 5 / 5
What a beautiful interior, what a beautiful building, am so looking forward to visiting again in the warmer months and sitting outside. We are fans of tapas and we're delighted to find them in Maidstone, we'd have visited sooner if we'd known La Taberna was on our doorstep. The restaurant is tucked away but is now no longer a secret as we will be revisiting many times. The menu is inviting, temping, vast and everything we ordered was delicious. Cannot praise it enough.

A fantastic restaurant in Maidstone for tapas. A great array of dishes to suit everyone. Beautiful setting in a medieval building

The Stile Bridge
Staplehurst Rd, Tonbridge TN12 9BH, UK | Pub P: 01622 831236
Rating: 4.5 (377) Price Level:
2024 October Review NEW AND UPDATED Back again at the Stile Bridge, with the previous chef who departed 6 months ago, it has been time to try the new menu again. At a glance the new menu has inspirations from Asian cuisine slashed with British classics. A very good choice for all palates of flavours. To start, the house bread and oils, the Focaccia style bread was delicious , crispy, fluffy and tasteful, most perfect bread you could ask for to start. The lamb meatballs, had an Indian inspired taste coated in crispy panko, I actually thought the additional aioli style sauce was not needed. Next up was the boneless chicken wings which was a let down, with its dry flavour, baseless and bland texture it felt like the wing was absolutely battered and butchered to create this flattened pancaked wing. Mains : Chicken salad - chicken was super juicy and tasteful, with a salad which isn’t drenched in dressing, the perfect amount for a main dish, with expedited pickles which were fab, and well seasoned dish. Pork sirloin, juicy, cooked well rather tender as welland had great accompaniments with it, the jus was flavourful and hit the spot. Scallops, cooked well, fresh, and plenty of spark. Overall the Stile Bridge did not disappoint again, will be back, and loved the service. Truly so far still one of my top recommendations for restaurants in Kent. Best for those who actually have an eye for food and an open palate. NOT for your typical boring clientele. 2023 Review - A MUST TRY hidden Resturant in the country side of Kent Food Quality 4.7/5 Presentation 4.5/5 Price 4.6/5 Service 4.7/5 Atmosphere / Ambiance 4.2/5 Stilebridge offers an South American fusion with British cuisine, utilising fresh and local ingredients of Kent and East Sussex. It is a show stopper of a restaurant to visit if you are in Kent. compared to other restaurants within Kent, which serves typical British classics and other delicate British style dishes it is good to see a pub serving a different variety of food from around the world, being a Michelin guide recommendation, the Stilebridge is certainly a place that is well worth on the Michelin guide. The food I would describe it as light South American heavily infused with British twist, this is definitely done to please the pallets of local clientele within Kent which are known for having less adventurous pallets, but as an individual who thrives on flavour, exoticNess and wonder, this may also be the place for you as it is especially for me it is. The octopus and pork belly was fragrance, light and packed full of simplistic flavours, which hit each flavour on the tongue perfectly. Had a small cake which enhances the flavour of the dish., I would say the octopus is a touch over done when I had it, but the pork belly was cooked perfectly. The lamb rump was cooked to perfection, after talking to the chef, and knowing that it was a dry aged lamb from Romley Marsh? Very well with the potato jus accompanying it very well with its lights and arrogant flavours. I would have liked more of the sweet potato jus upon my dish, the lentils works. Well I would’ve liked a bit more than those as well. The Korean style, Bimbap works well for local clienteles pallets, however, I would have preferred it a lot more crispy rice at the bottom of the bimbap, after discussing it with the chef, who was very polite and friendly, it was understandable why it was done in such a way. The side dishes of the potato, Bravas and the pickled salad was a very nice for the compliment to my main protein dishes. Overall, the Stilebridge is a great restaurant you should visit, as a reviewer, I never eats anywhere five stars restaurant wise, however, with my own personal recommendation, I recommend a rate Stilebridge very highly and would be back again to try the other menu items. I would love to see more South American dishes because it’s hard to find authentic dishes done right utilising British local projects which I highly enjoy. My compliments to the chef. Thank you

Sometimes, the most unexpected places hold true gems, and this restaurant is a shining example. The food here is simply superb, and it's no surprise that they are featured in the Michelin Guide. Despite the restaurants unassuming exterior, don't let that deter you—the experience is absolutely worth it. The quality of the dishes and the culinary expertise showcased here far surpasses any initial judgments based on appearances. The staff are also very friendly. Don't miss out on this hidden treasure.

Large well managed establishment. Good selection of wine and beer but accent is on food. Spacious and airy dinning area's and friendly, efficient service. My Guinness was presented in prime condition. Recommended , particularly if eating. Christmas lunch in region of £100 pp.

What a fantastic find. The food was delicious from starters to dessert. The fillet for mains was particularly good. Bar and waiting staff are really friendly and we even got the chance to meet the chef, who talked us through what he was serving. We had the set meal, which was good value, and a few drinks - there's a lot of local stuff on (we had a local gin and a local ale). I cannot recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be back.

I'd been wanting to visit The Stile Bridge for some time; it was with some excitement that I saw how nearby a restaurant in the Michelin guide was. It did not disappoint. Beautifully cooked meat, with the best chips I've ever tasted - well seasoned throughout, crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The pork sirloin was delicious, the beef sirloin moreso. I will be back very eagerly. Lovely service as well, and some nice drinks offerings.

Absolutely banging place to get breakfast on the weekend!

Thanks for always doing a great breakfast 🥰

I'm glad the truck stop on the motorway was closed. The Airport cafe is only just over a mile from the roundabout, wide country road, and plenty of parking. Just had a full English, perfectly cooked and a decent mug of tea, in a proper mug not a paper tumbler. The staff are pleasant and professional. I'm now set up for the day and a long journey. Thanks, girls.! I'll be back. Sorry, no picture, I ate it all,! 28/2/22 Another most enjoyable breakfast. I'm just off the Eurotunnel, and this gives me time to contemplate driving on the other side of the road. 5/9/22 I remembered to take a photograph this time before demolishing the fare. Ok there is a couple of mouthfuls missing. Thanks girls. 1/3/23 Most excellent start to the day, and a warm welcome back into the uk. Keep up the good work. 7/9/23 Another delicious breakfast, and equally important a hot mug of tea. 5/9/24 Another successful visit. "Express breakfast" today, the bubble and squeak was a delicious addition, it comes recommended. Thanks girls, you've brightened my day.
