We contacted Richard firstly to complete a electrical survey on the house we were purchasing and then again to carry out the works which included a full rewire, installation of a new fire alarm system, removal of old/obsolete wiring, alarm systems and more. Can't recommend him highly enough, he had a team working on the weekend to help get us into our new home faster. We expected to have to do a lot of clean up once they had finished so we're pleasantly surprised to find they had cleaned up and left virtually no remedial works for us to do. He was in constant contact throughout. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Richard attended very promptly to resolve an "emergency" issue where my RCD kept switching everything off. Subsequently he came back and tidied up my garden electrics which were the root cause of the problem as well as changing my outside lighting. Prompt and efficient and pleased with the result.

Cannot thank Richard and his team enough. Always there for you. They have just done a whole rewire on our property. They have completed the work professionally and cleaned up after themselves. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We would highly recommend them for any electrical work.

Contacted Richard to install electrical supply 240v and 110v) in my wood shop. He really knows his trade and did such a great job I used him for two further major electrical installs. Thoughtful, interactive and top quality in all he does. Can’t recommend him too highly.

First visit to this incredible little gem today for our anniversary brunch, couldn’t find a single fault, not that we were looking however, staff were perfect! Welcoming, polite, friendly, felt like we were the only ones there because they were so attentive and lovely, would go back just to be treated so nicely, but the food was 5 star, perfect temperature, fresh, and really good options especially for me as a vegetarian, love love love this place! Will be going back asap!

Spent a Saturday afternoon here drinking delicious cocktails and absolutely loved it. Fabulous range of cocktails for a pub, and all the ones I ordered were delicious, unique and beautifully presented. Decor is lovely, seating cosy and service friendly and attentive. Slight criticism is the as the afternoon turned into early evening service became overbearing as a member of staff approached our table persistently every few minutes asking if we were ready to order more drinks. There were only two of us and it was clear that our glasses were not nearly empty so it felt like we were being rushed, perhaps as they wanted to accommodate more patrons arriving. But I had a lovely time and would definitely return.

Lamb rump really delicious. Small, single hasselback potato accompaniment needed some friends, for £26 though! And the side of veggies at £5 also a derisorily small portion size. Service and vibe superb, so if the pointlessly miserly approach to vegetables is rectified, this place would be perfect!

Really good food and service. Went for Sunday lunch and the roast was delicious. Other options on the menu as well.

We recently had our wedding ceremony, meal, and evening reception at the Swan on the 27th July. We cannot say anything but good things about the Swan. Anne Herring was an amazing wedding planner, she made us feel so special throughout. The service from start to finish was exceptional. All staff were so friendly and helpful. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was! If you are looking for somewhere to host your wedding, please visit The Swan, you won't be disappointed. We would like to say thank you so much to Anne and all at the Swan for a perfect day/night. Phil & Alex x

Very enjoyable experience. This was our forth visit and we will be back again and again. The food is excellent and well presented with good size portions. The staff are so polite and helpful. We are so pleased we've got a restaurant as good as this on our doorstep. I would highly recommend a visit and be sure to book as it's very popular. The restaurant has a large car park.

Second time visiting and again food and service was fantastic. We went for the Tuesday banquet menu. Portions seemed smaller than ordering full price but that suited us as we like variety and there was plenty with the set menu! The only thing that we would have liked included was a popadum, which are included on a Wednesday couple night but not solo night. Perhaps consider this Kathmandu palace? I had the salmon ajwain. Best I’ve ever tasted and will be hard to not get this again next time despite there being so many lovely choices! Everything tastes so fresh and isn’t ladended with oil. Thanks Kathmandu Palace - we will be back ☺️

A great place to have dinner with friends and family! The ambience is warm and inviting, and the food is served hot and tastes just like home. They offer a variety of Indian and Nepalese cuisine, and everything we tried was delicious. It's a must-try restaurant for Indian people looking to enjoy authentic flavors. Highly recommend!

This was my first time at base camp, we went for the Easter egg hunt which was great fun for the kids. The play park there is superb ! Love the tree house/slide and the sand pit! Could have stayed there for hours. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are extremely kind and friendly.

Visited for the first time for a late lunch. The friendliest 4 ladies serving! Lovey place with lots of different rooms. Tables, comfy armchairs, big sofas and a kids play section with ample toys and books. Food was lovely, felt v homecooked. Had a sausage and onion toastie, steak pie with mash and veg and the kids and spaghetti on toast. All reasonably priced. There’s also a big wooden play ground outside with a tree house. Big free car park at the back of the house just off Hall Road. Will be back!

Been here a few times and never disappoints. Staff are really friendly, food and drinks are lovey - definitely recommend the breakfast special on the blackboard. Good little play corner for toddlers inside (and even my 5 and 7 year old girls). And outdoor playground provides them with entertainment too. I always recommend this place to people as a nice friendly cafe to go to.

Update 2024 December Had the Christmas set menu which was fantastic, the traditional turkey was fine and portion size was huge, so don't eat anything before your meal. I personally thought it was couple of quid over priced. Don't get me wrong the food was good and service was out standing. The bar staff worked very hard so give them a good tip. UPDATE December 2023 Had our Christmas meal here. Great service and friendly staff. But to be honest personally I was disappointed with the mushroom soup, Christmas meal was good but could have been hotter. Still have a number of good range of real beers. Good range of draught beers, food and service excellent. Would have been nicer if the restaurant area had been warmer. Service in the normal bar area was sporadic.

Took advantage of the take away roast dinner offering. Food was well packaged and hot. Portion sizes were perfect. Beef and lamb was good quality and a large variety of vegetables included. Would recommend.

Good food and good beer and friendly staff. Also very dog friendly. Visited again, usually go once a week whilst dog walking. Today went for dinner and had by request roasted tomato and red pepper soup which was fantastic, followed by pie of the day, beef and mushroom today and it was brilliant. Wholeheartedly recommend this pub.
Rating: 5 / 5
The pub is beautifully decorated for Christmas, with the log fire burning, very welcoming. Our meal was first class. The fish and chips was fresh and tasty. The beef and mash, and the chicken pie was also enjoyed by my friends. Hayley served us, nothing is too much trouble for her, assisted by a friendly young man in charge of the bar. A great way to spend a Monday evening! Looking forward to our next visit, that's Christmas Lunch with our MG Car club. Thank you.

Rating: 4.7 (408) Price Level:
Fantastic place to stop for coffee and a snack if out walking or mountain bike riding like I was today. Had a flat white - was excellent as was the sausage roll. This will now be my preferred mid ride stop for this route. Blankets available with outside seating so you can enjoy a coffee even on those chillier days. Stopped by again a few days after this review mid ride. Coffee and steak pasty excellent. Really pleasant place to rest for a while by the river. PS be sure to look out for the bold as brass Robin who likes to snack on cake crumbs etc! June 2022 update - seats and chairs upgraded - this place continues to impress!

A favourite place to walk to, have a coffee and chill. It’s a perfect location, friendly staff and high quality food. For such a tiny place they do amazingly well. I’ve introduced many people to this little gem. The dog biscuits are genius. My dog won’t walk past without joining the queue for her biscuit so our furry friends approve too!!
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely staff and lovely venue to sit and watch the world go by. Great for four-legged friends as well. Always have a sausage roll and a drink whilst the dog has a ice cream. Can get very busy at times as it's a very popular place.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great place to visit for a snack and a hot drink whilst on a ride or walk. Recommend the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A lot of building works have been completed recently so the area is looking fresh and welcoming with a new outside seating and canopy incase it’s raining. Thanks again for the great hospitality

Great little café with very friendly staff. We were greeted promptly and then seated. The server explained everything to us, and when we received our food, the chef came put to make sure everything was to our liking. I strongly suggest a visit!

Decided to try a regular ‘The Woodstock’ full english breakfast and a Cappuccino at the Woodstock Coffee Shop near Maidstone and really enjoyed my visit; the Sausage, Hash Brown, bacon and toast were all absolutely great and the lady who welcomed me was very friendly. It was a wet day when I visited but it looks as though the bifold doors can be opened when it is sunny or sit at one of the patio tables. Lots of parking too which was a bonus. Recommended!
Rating: 5 / 5
This place was a little hard to find at first, but I am glad I did. It is a lovely cafe with very polite and caring staff. A few good plant based and vegetarian options available with generous portion sizes. Although the food did not have any creative twists or flavours, you could tell it was made with care - it was quite simple and familiar instead. There is a pleasant view onto the fields and possibility to bring a not-too-big well-behaved dog. I will be coming back.

Had heard good things about this cafe so stopped off for breakfast after an early morning appointment at Maidstone Hospital. From the moment we walked in we were struck by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Good choice of food and service was quick and efficient. Breakfast was very good and well presented. Coffee was great too. All good value for money. Will definitely be popping back here.

Update 2024 September Spitfire now £5.00 a bottle, this is disappointingly at least 60p a bottle too expensive. In my opinion Spitfire is the best beer that's available in a bottle and are pleased the Kilnbarn stocks it. Had an enjoyable bottle of Spitfire on the patio which over looks playing fields.

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

Lovely vegan breakfast 😀 Will certainly be going back again. Friendly staff and a great selection of vegan cakes too! Dog friendly also which always gets bonus points in my opinion! Highly 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.
