Installed a new small fuse box in my garage and fed a supply to a new shed and a summerhouse. Really great job completed 100% as requested and within the timescales and costs quoted. Everything properly tested and even done an extra job for me in a spare 10 minutes. Great job, thoroughly recommend.

Ian undertook the job of replacing the original wiring in my 1960s rental property. He was helpful, honest and informative from the first consultation, confirming and explaining the necessity of the work due to the poor insulation readings and age of the wiring, advising on the number and appropriate placement of sockets and switches, and highlighting the possible problems and potential extra costs that might occur during the job. He was punctual and easy to communicate with throughout and contacted me immediately to discuss any issues. Ian was fantastic at working round the couple of problems that arose, and was able to find solutions without saddling me with extra costs! When the job was completed he cleared up thoroughly. Ian is always my first port of call for any electrical work I might need. I trust his expertise and honesty and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

We booked Ian (ETE Electrical) to carry out a survey of our building wiring, as he was from a local business. From quotation to completion of work, the service was first class. Ian attended site when stated, completed the work as agreed and left the premises very clean and tidy. He was professional and trustworthy. He made the whole process very easy to understand and explained what work he was going to carry out for us. We have now arrange for Ian to return every six months to maintain our fire alarm system, which is a comfort to know, as he clearly cares about the service he provides to his customers. We would 100% recommend anyone using ETE for their electrical requirements.

Ian provided his availability and prices in advance, observed all H&S requirements and made good wall and cleaned up after installing a new socket. Would highly recommend.

We would highly recommend this company and will definately be using them again.

I have had many electrical things done in my home by Nathan and I would just like to say highly recommended. He has put in outside power point and outside light. Hung flat screen tvs on the walls and put new light into a very high hall and a new light fitting in the kitchen.

Followed a full EICR check with some extra work to update power safely for my garage, new fusebox for in there and also the house: extra sockets now fitted and channelling work done for hidden cables for a wall mounted TV .Updated smoke alarms installed,and replacement extractor fitted to bathroom.All done really well and finished neatly with no fuss, and the guys were very courteous and neat and tidy. Definitely recommended

Had a new consumer unit installed and downlights replaced. Fantastic service from start to finish. Very neat and tidy, Ed obviously takes pride in his work. Both Nathan and Ed were really informative, we really felt like we had old friends in our home. Would 100% recommend them and will most definitely use them again on any future work we may need in the future. Lovely company

Nathan had saved my details from over two years ago which just set the precedent for another very professional, highly efficient job. Dan, my electrician was super tidy, polite and excellent in his advice, installing new lights and even making good on some plasterwork he had to remove! Nathan communicated and kept me informed every step of the way. I have more jobs lined up but certainly won't be waiting two years! Thank you so much guys...

Nathan and Ed came to do a slightly unusual job, testing the electric in my mobile coffee trailer. They did a thorough job and gave me lot of information and valuable advice. They went above and beyond. Really friendly and helpful. I will be booking again for next year's test.

Received exceptional service from the guys at TFS Electrical this morning. We had an electrical fault in our office and they arrived 45 minutes ahead of their eta, were professional, friendly and got us up and running in no time at all. Big thanks and we will definitely be using them again.
Rating: 5 / 5
The whole experience from the initial call for help, right up until bidding him farewell was exceptional, prompt and very reasonably priced. The man (i forget his name) traced and found the fault with ease with his obvious wealth of experience and knowledge. would 100% recommend TFS and i will definitely be retaining their number for any future electrical work.

My partner phoned up today to get a quote for having a ceiling light put up... He was more than happy with the price and the electrician was able to turn up within the hour and expertly install it. 100% Professional, reliable and highly recommended electrician. Definitely looking forward to using this firm again next year 👍

Absolutely brilliant service. Called this morning to enquire about replacing a broken light fitting and within a couple of hours it has been replaced. Thoroughly professional, with an extremely fast and efficient service, couldn't recommend more highly

Lewis is an extremely professional individual who is knowledgeable and efficient in his work. I have used him on multiple occasions and would recommend him to anyone. We used him to rewire room by room and he was more than happy to work to our timeline. Thanks so much for your support, help and expertise.
Rating: 5 / 5
Found Lewis based on very positive feedback on facebook. I had a relatively small, non- urgent (but important to us) job, namely replacing an old, broken security light over my drive. He responded quickly and we were able to agree a convenient time. He arrived in good time, did the job for the ( very reasonable) pre-agreed price. Can’t see anything he could have done better, so a very satisfied customer and will definitely call LMR first for any future electrical work.
Rating: 5 / 5
We have struggled so much in finding a reliable electrician and are so pleased to have found LMR. We have used LMR services twice in the past month and highly recommend using them. Lewis responds straight away to any questions and once booked in, is very knowledgable, punctual, friendly, polite, clean and tidy. We will most definitely be using them again.Thank you Lewis for all your hard work.
Rating: 5 / 5
Really fantastic experience, we found Lewis via Facebook and he responded the same evening, got the quote the following day and had him booked in for the following week. They were able to install four fixtures with ease, were very tidy, offered to add filler to marks on the ceiling and even run out to get replacement light bulbs when the ones we had bought didn't fit. Would definitely recommend their friendly and professional services.
Rating: 5 / 5
Excellent service and a good job done. Many thanks Lewis. I would wholeheartedly recommend LMR and Lewis.

The Redstart

Rating: 4.5 (417) Price Level:
This place is great for lunch the food is always cooked well and there is a good variety on the menu and well priced. We had the burger and the chicken sizzler with noodles. Really tasty, will be going back again. We did book as it does get busy especially at the weekends, during the summer they have a big garden that you can sit out in. Lovely place worth a visit.
Rating: 5 / 5
The place is huge with indoor and outdoor tables and service. The food was amazing and the staff was so kind and friendly. There is plenty of garden area, it's really large. There's a playground so that you can take your kids and have a meal, a beer, and let them play while you enjoy the place. There's also some events there such as bingo and karaoke. The only negative point is the toilets, they're a bit neglected (old). The area where this place is located is so peaceful too. Worth the visit!
Rating: 5 / 5
It’s surprising how good pub food can be. The RedStart exemplifies this. Walk inside and it looks like a standard looking sociable drinking space. Sit down, look at the specials board, you begin to realise there is something special about this place. Yes it does prepare the traditional British dishes. The RedStart goes one step further and throws in European dishes into the mix. When these dishes arrive they ooze quality. Presentation, piquant and professional. These were some of the best tasting dishes I have sampled at a pub in Kent. For 3 courses I had change from £30, unbelievable given the standard of food. European pub food at it’s best.
Rating: 5 / 5
Visited the Redstart as a party of 8 yesterday evening, for the first time in years. What a great gastro pub! Lively, friendly, decent value, and, not surprisingly, packed! Good choice of traditional pub food on the menu, so something for everyone. We'll be back, recommended.

Rating: 4.5 (354) Price Level:
Very busy, very efficient, very varied a menu. I happened upon this eatery by chance and very welcome it was too - the food is well cooked and presented and from a big menu. I especially enjoyed the mushrooms, which were chunky-cut. You can barely find a large and comprehensive breakfast for under a tenner these days, but this place [just about] sells one
Rating: 5 / 5
Amazing from start to finish. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food is amazing, best fry up I’ve ever had. Cafe is clean with a nice atmosphere. Toilets were spotless too. 100% recommend.
Rating: 4 / 5
This cafe is a little bit off the radar because it's behind the main shopping area but definitely worth a visit. The interior is nothing fancy but you'll enjoy it if you're a fan of Only Fools & Horses due to the artwork on the walls. Food is hot, fresh and tasty. Reasonable value for money but cash only. Staff friendly and quick service.
Rating: 4 / 5
Eat a veggie breakfast. Good, but be aware everything’s fried on oil. Can be a little upset to the stomach. But generally good

Rating: 4.6 (141) Price Level:
Visited for some Pumpkin Picking. Such a wide range of pumpkins to choose from. Grown on site which was lovely to see. Free to park and enter. Also had fresh eggs and other produce to buy. It was lovely that dogs were allowed. Had a nice hot drink afterwards. It was all reasonably priced too. Great lilacs coffee all the family.

Had a fantastic Sunday afternoon at Little Fant Farm for a 60th Birthday celebration Afternoon Tea in the Teepee & Orchard. What a wonderful setting. The Afternoon Tea was delicious with all dietary needs considered. Staff were friendly and attentive. Bonus that we could pick plums and sunflowers on the day we visited for a small fee. Would definitely recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
Little Fant Farm is a free great place to take the little ones for an adventure. The pumpkin patch was excellent and muddy! Lots of pumpkins! There are pigs, ponies, chickens and ducks. There is also a cafe which sells lovely homemade cakes and savouries with seating area and face painting. Lots of parking space and it’s dog friendly. Defiantly a nice morning or afternoon can be spent here. Recommend

We visited on a Sunday for coffee and cake. Wonderfully tasty homemade cakes at a very reasonable price. The vibe was good and a 5th birthday party was going on, it was lovely to see them all having a great time. We picked plums and sunflowers for a small price. An excellent place for adults and children alike.

I visited last week, and was pleasantly surprised! One member of our group has a gluten allergy, but the staff catered brilliantly for us and made a gluten free cheese toasty especially, which was wonderful. All the pastries were home made and tasted good, and the staff were all happy and helpful. Would definitely reccomend and would go again!

Had a good meal here. Restaurant is nicely decorated. Slight confusion over the order. The owner is a bit too bombastic if you are looking to be left alone. Great they have Bombay Bicycle Club beer. Food was fresh and tasty but portion sizes are a little small.
Rating: 5 / 5
Delicious food, staff are attentive and polite. Reasonable prices (budget for 25-30 person, then add drinks) - the restaurant is well presented and very clean. We will definitely return, the 4 of us had a lovely meal. It was also nice and quiet as we went on Sunday night.

Rating: 4.5 (144) Price Level:
Delicious vegan burger! I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. The service was quick and served with a smile from the guys in the kitchen :) the food was 10/10 - we also tried the habanero mayo and smokey bbq sauce to have with our fries and they were both amazing. I love the seating area and layout; It's great receiving a delicious gourmet style tasty burger - but receive it quick and easy to eat in a takeaway box style. Can't fault the notorious BRG and will definitely be back soon and recommending to friends.
Rating: 5 / 5
They offer 100% vegan options from their whole menu! The burger with cheese, bacon and salad (and there were lots of other things I could have added) was the best plant based burger I’ve had. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Everything was freshly prepared and was quick. I loved it!

Notorious BRG you smashed it!!! The team were fab, prices are simply amazing and the food, phenomenal. Absolutely superb loaded nachos, great fries, munch was top nosh! Would definitely recommend and will be back to try more of the menu.

Vesuvius Restaurant
26 Lower Stone St, Maidstone ME15 6LX, UK | Italian Restaurant P: 01622 664969
Rating: 4.7 (532) Price Level:
Italian restaurant in Maidstone,Kent. The food is good,authentic Italian fare. They were around three quarters full and throughout my stay I only heard positive comments about the food. The waiting staff are not really very attentive. No one checked back to see if the food was ok nor did anyone ask if I wanted any more drinks. In the end I had to ask. That said they were all polite. Food came to the table within 15 minutes and was hot and tasty. Food prices are moderate, no at pizzas are around £15 for example but are big enough to share. The restaurant has toilets and the one I used was clean. Disabled access is ok , some areas of the restaurant would be a little too tight to accommodate a wheelchair but there are a few tables that would be ok. There is no parking outside but a paid,council run car park is no more than a five minute walk away
Rating: 5 / 5
Vesuvius is a brilliant hidden gem with friendly and accommodating staff, a great menu and incredible service. My partner and I stopped by after seeing the restaurant on Google maps, and can confidently say we'll be back in again the next time we're in Maidstone. It's only a few minutes walk from the high street, so it's absolutely worth popping in for lunch or dinner.
Rating: 5 / 5
Another wonderful meal. Great menu with so much choice. All freshly cooked, exceptional flavours and well presented.
Rating: 5 / 5
Servers were very welcoming and the menu had plenty of options. The quality of the food was incredible and was obviously made fresh - the pizza I had in particular was amazing. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. Would definitely come back
Rating: 4 / 5
🍽️ Just dropped by Vesuvius Restaurant and here's the lowdown: - 🇮🇹 Ambiance: Stepping into Vesuvius is like a time travel to old-school Italy. Everything has a really vintage touch. It’s not exactly my cup of tea as I lean towards more modern settings, but it's got character! - 🤔 Service: Had a bit of an odd experience. The waitress seemed a tad unsure, not even asking for our booking name. Made me wonder why we booked in the first place. - 🍞 Food: The garlic breadsticks came in a packet, which was unexpected. I reckon serving them out of the packet might add a touch of freshness! The menu choices and the dishes themselves were a bit basic for my taste. However, the roast potatoes were a hit - not sure how Italian they are, but delicious nonetheless! Tried a bit of the carbonara and found it a bit bland. - 🍴 Overall Vibe: The place was buzzing for a Friday night, which was nice to see. Rating: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It didn't quite hit the spot for me, and while I might not head back on my own initiative, I'm open to giving it another go if someone else is keen.
