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 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.

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...

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.

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!

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 😂

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.

Cannot believe its taken so long for us to visit here, and we live so close. Delicious home made food, cooked and served by a very friendly group! The Lamb and Mint Morrocan pastie was delicious. The Mango and Coconut cheesecake was like eating a cloud, so light. 100% will be going back, and highly recommend.

LMR Electrical Services

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've been to quite a few coffee shops in maidstone, and ive got to say this one is my favourite by far. For a start, the atmosphere and the lighting are perfect, in my opinion. I say this because alot of coffee shops go for that cosy comfy vibe but sometimes take it to far and end up looking like a dungeon, sometimes i feel like im gonna find Guy Fawkes strung up and begin interrogated inside one of them. But like i just said, this place hasn't got that issue at all. Next, what do you go to a coffee shop for? The coffee! obviously. Again, all i have is praise for this place. The coffee is my favourite in maidstone from what I've had so far. There's not much more i can say about that part because im not a coffee expert. The service is perfect here, i mean, you order, you sit down, and the lovely team they have here bring your food and drink to you! I mean, what else can you ask for? So yeah, that's my very amateur review of my favourite coffee shop. I definitely recommend it to any local or anybody passing through.

Really good coffee and really nice staff. The setting of the cafe is very cosy and a mix between modern and traditional. Conveniently located in the town centre. There isn't much parking nearby. Toilet is clean and smells great also! Overall a nice spot for a good cup of coffee.

Always enjoyed great coffee well made here, we thought it’d closed but realised it’d had a recent refit and now thankfully been open again, really makes a change from the usual sub par coffee in the town. Just gutted they stopped making their lovely wraps we used to enjoy and it’s pastries from a hot plate only now. Really friendly staff and the shop is also close to the river too so takeaway is always a nice option though 😊😎

Went in for a coffee but the pasties looked great, so I had a cheese pasty. It was a very pleasant surprise to find it was feta and incredibly tasty. The coffee was of high quality as well. Both staff were friendly and helpful. Clean toilets as well.

A few years ago (different owners I believe), this place was not much to shout about. But now it's a regular breakfast venue for me and business colleagues. The service is always excellent, swift and welcoming. The coffee is very good and the food... well, we wouldn't go back if it wasn't great every time! Pictured is my beans on toast, which isn't actually on the menu but is never any trouble. My friend has the vege breakfast which he assures my is top notch.

Update 2024 December Had a roast lunch which was promptly ordered and served by polite very hard working staff. It was plentiful in size but could have been heated a little more evenly, this was £12 there was an OAP option for £10 which was smaller apparently. I though the cheese cake a bit expensive for its size £3.95. Update 2023 Staff were friendly and patient. We had a roast lunch each which was served very hot, portion size were just adequate. They were amazingly quick at delivering our meal after order.

Had a fantastic experience here. The food was great and of good quality. Portions were more than generous and especially for a kids roast. The atmosphere was very unexpected with someone playing the piano by the entrance. People working there were all very fun and bubbly to be around and engaged with the kids too.

We really enjoyed our experience today at Leah’s bistro. There’s a lot of choice on the menu, something for everyone, and everything is freshly made and cooked. We really enjoyed the food, it was delicious! Prices are really reasonable too - 2 adults, 2 kids - lunch (sandwich and panini, 2 x kids meals), drink and cake each, worked out at about £40. Definitely will come back. Staff are lovely as well, really friendly.

We have become regulars here over the past few weeks - the staff are friendly, kind and helpful, there is always a positive buzz whatever time of day you're here and the food is delicious. For fellow vegans and people who are gluten free, there are gf and vegan options available. Leah's has become our favourite place to visit at the weekend - If you haven't been to Leah's before, treat yourself!

What can I say…. This cafe is amazing . Popped in while walking past and ordered 2 set breakfasts and two cans of cherry coke. Our order was taken by a attentive waitress and when the food turned up it was just what we needed , not greasy and cooked to perfection. Keep up the good work cafe Riviera . Five ⭐️

Nice breakfast, I opted for a set breakfast of sausage, two rashers of bacon, chips, beans, toast and a fried egg along with a can of drink for £9.00. Some of the chips were a little overcooked/crunchy but the rest of the breakfast was nice. They operate a loyalty scheme of a free meal once you have collected 8 stamps from paid meals, they have the same offer regarding drinks too. They have customer toilets which were clean and in decent condition. If you found this review helpful please click on the heart icon, thanks.

Eat a veggie breakfast. Good, but be aware everything’s fried on oil. Can be a little upset to the stomach. But generally good

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

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.

La Villetta is such a lovely part of the food scene in Maidstone. It’s a cosy, independent restaurant with really flavoursome and seasonal menus. Our starters were amazing, we shared a selection of olives, burrata and polpettine and they were delicious both separately and together! It was a little slow to get our mains but my chicken was beyond flavoursome, I would even say not for the faint hearted. It was so buttery and creamy, i loved it. My husband had the mushroom gnocchi which was not as deep in flavour but still quite good. The gnocchi looked as though it came from a packet but honestly compared to the chains that are available in our area, the food here was much more homemade. We also tried one of the italian beers, Birra flea (margherita), it was so nice I’ve had a google to buy some. Its malty and savoury in flavour so goes so well with all of the food. We didn’t go for dessert but they do an afogato with baileys in it which went down a treat! The waitress was really lovely and helpful with the menu. The only odd thing is that the floor feels a bit wonky under foot! This is a really charming place to eat and the food is much fresher than anything else you’ll find in Maidstone. We will definitely return.

Really delicious authentic food, long wait times. We visited on a Saturday lunchtime when we were one of three tables. We shared the arancini and bredaola to start, and then had the ravioli and risotto for mains. Everything was super delish and good portions, shame we didn't have enough room for dessert.

Great cafe with very friendly and helpful staff. Came here for a coffee on a Saturday morning and because it was so cosy and staff were lovely we decided to stay for lunch. Coffees and teas are good and the lunchtime sandwiches are good. Would have preferred a bit more salad in my sandwich and crisps rather than tortillas with sandwiches would be better but bread was fresh and fillings plentiful. I had Brie and cranberry. We shared a brownie and this was fresh and tasty too (although didn’t realise they came warmed up so would have been better if staff had checked we wanted it warmed up). Despite a few criticisms on the food I’ve still given it 5 stars as the (female) staff were so friendly and helpful and happily working - a joy to see. Lovely seating upstairs as well as the tables downstairs.

Set 3 for £12.50, came with toast. Added black pudding for £1 extra ( two very generous slices I may add). Filter coffee was good. Hash browns could do with being alot crispier as were bit soggy. Bacon was very nice thick cut. All in all very good food. Told the breakfast wrap was very nice. No price on the board. Clean premises with friendly staff. Keep up the good work ✌️❤️
