Stopped of for an evening meal after going to the pictures. Great choice of pub food although my first choice of Steak & kidney pudding was sold out so I had the steak and ale pie with mash and veg very tasty. Nice beers on tap good service .

We visited on a Saturday evening for a family birthday. The food was great and good service. Desserts were nice and big, sadly I didn’t get a picture before we dug in! Lovely classic pub atmosphere. Would be good if they had menus as you have to read off the board which an older guest found difficult, but ultimately we had a lovely meal. Will be returning.

Always a good steak here. Don’t think the over all service or setting quite makes it a knock out 5* but the food none the less was great. I saw my wine and soft drink sat on the bar for ages before being put at the table so given was a table clearly in sight I’d have liked to see a quicker delivery and simple no ice require at but getting ice just makes the 5* experience down to a 4. But that’s petty. Food was really nice however, the same green/cress dressing really doesn’t need to be on all dishes. Halloumi nibble, the starter and main blessed with it. Seriously why are all restaurants doing this nowadays, just gets frustrating as adds almost no value. Anyway I get distracted. Like I say, food was really nice for a lunch so can’t complain

We had such a lovely evening here! My husband treated myself, mum and daughter for a pre - Christmas meal. The service was fabulous - our waitress Daisy made it really special by being attentive and friendly! The food was amazing and cooked exactly as we all wanted! The restaurant was so festive and lovely!

Visited this branch on Saturday for our anniversary. Was a lovely vibe, the atmosphere was great. Very friendly and welcoming from the start till leaving. We received great service from our server Lyndsey, she was always at hand to make sure we had everything we needed. Good was 10/10 especially the garlic mushrooms, although everything else was wonderful too. Cocktails were delicious and strong not watered down. Thanks for such a please t evening

The restaurant was very busy, many of the staff seemed young and inexperienced, it was evident training was going on, there were long waits for everything, which was fine with us as not on a tight schedule and staying in the hotel. The King Prawn Starter the Prawns were not cleaned well, we complained and they were swiftly returned to the kitchen, we were offered a replacement but declined the charge was removed from the bill. The Chipotle Chicken was sensational.

We are there on Saturday for a Christmas lunch, we were a big group so we were sat over two tables but they placed us in a nook where we could still all talk together. Our server, Sarah was very attentive, charming and a lovely sense of humour. The food and drinks were great, rolled out of there by the end of it after having the festive menu.

Rating: 4.6 (256) Price Level:
It’s great. I have an issue with our rural lunch spots limiting themselves to panini’s, jacket potatoes and maybe a sausage roll so eating here is a breath of fresh air. The menu consists of (but not limited to); a kind of Vegan bliss bowl, venison cottage pie, awesomely large quiche (which most diners seemed to reach for that particular day) and the obligatory over priced burger, which was very good. So I took the burger which came with chunky chips seasoned to perfection and a very good homemade coleslaw. Yes at £13 quid it’s on the expensive side, you could eat a five guys, or even the Ivy for a similar price but it’s not a bad burger and the patty was great so I got over it. Other dishes were very reasonably priced in my opinion, I tried the venison which was cooked very well, as was the large quiche which was peppered in veg as well to really a meal out of it. Last item our group ate was the risotto balls (arancini) which really was top drawer with its xo sauce. I can’t stress how good the risotto balls are. If I really had to criticise the menu one vegan option in today’s world is not really fair but that’s digging deep to criticise. So yeah, eat here. I’ll be very surprised if you walk out disappointed. It’s very nicely decorated, Staff are friendly, the head chef made a point of sticking her head out as we left to say thanks. All these things make for a very pleasant experience.

Love this place so much. I have eaten here many times with my wife but i was fortunate to also photograph a wedding there just before xmas. It was perfect for a wedding - the decor is unique, quirky and compelling - there was so much i could do photo wise. The food is always always excellent and whether you are eating as a couple or celebrating a wedding you will not be disappointed.

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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

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

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.

Lovely little cafe. Staff clearly are very proud of their cafe and very friendly. Great place for a drink and cake or a meal. Very reasonable priced. Look forward to going back. We ordered a latte, banana milkshake and both had the chicken wrap off the day with added halloumi and chips.

Went here for breakfast. Dog friendly cafe. Had the 'Hair of the Hound' full English breakfast which was ok. Wife had Gluton Free (GF bread was not good). Fast service and Friendly staff. Recommendations: clean the windows from the cobwebs and flys, not nice when your eating.

Came here with my two dogs on the second day of the opening under the new owner. Love the decor. Dog bowls on the floor, free dog treats and tables and chairs outside with lovely throws to use. I had a really tasty jacket potato and a beautiful home made cake. Has a good selection of gluten free and vegan options of savoury and sweet items. Throughly recommend

We all had a lovely afternoon tea at Baskervilles Coffee House. The traditional tea had a good selection of savoury and sweet treats. The child's tea also had a good selection, having changed the sandwich fillings to known favourites. Our dog certainly enjoyed her afternoon tea too and it was great to be able to give her something designed for her instead of snuffling our sausage rolls. The staff were really happy, polite and chatty. This is a wonderful little coffee shop and a great place to visit if you want to sit with your dog.

A far cry from a truckers café, this local coffee house offers a cosy seating area with a modest menu. The interior is well decorated. There is a standard selection of hot items with a range of cakes that also cater to vegan requirements. Parking is easily found on the road, or it's a walk away for local residents who tend to come here and socialise in small groups. Prices are what you would expect.

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.

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 / 5
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

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.

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.

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! 🙂

Pop in here for lunch after visiting Teapot Island (see Seperate review). A beautiful day seating outside but we chose to sit in as it was too warm outside for us. A weekday lunch, not too busy, we quickly got our drinks, a good selection of beers, & took our menus. The food was freshly cooked & took around 45 minutes, but it was worth waiting for. Between us we had stir fry & more traditional "pub grub", chose against desert, although, so so tempting. Service was good & will certainly pay it a return visit
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely village pub that invests in its community by holding local events and fundraising activities. The food is excellent and the menu diverse, look out for the specials too, always a gastronomic experience. Occasional live music in the marquee and the best beer festival around is held in April. Very large beer garden with play equipment to keep the children happy.
