Breakfast review Went in for breakfast as I have always enjoyed it during the evening and wanted to see if it was good. And I was not disappointed, a wide variety which is all reasonable priced with quick and tasty breakfast. It was all cooked perfectly and the large hot drinks are truly large. Evening review One of my favourite places to go for a drink. Nice selection of constantly rotating beers and ciders so every visit seems new. This place is great to catch-up with friends with comfy seating upstairs and a cosy outdoor smoking area. A hidden gem definitely.

On my visit it was very quiet with the bar staff chatting with a friend on a table in the corner. He served me and we had a good chat over my favoured beer styles and what they had on draft and available in cans. After I had been served 3 x third pints, I dat and was included in the general conversation. The sort of craft beer bar I love.

We only find this lovely place by chance and this is now become our coffee stop for a relax coffee/cake or sandwich when we venture over to Maidstone. The staff are super friendly and nothing is too much for them to make your time at their coffee shop nice and relax. We love their coffee (great value) and always enjoy their cakes and sandwiches.

Met up with a group of friends. I am doing Dry January and it was the perfect place to have a coffee and then have a choice of herbal teas - the citrus spiced was delicious. We were a large group and were made most welcome as we moved chairs and tables around so we could all sit in a circle and enjoy each others company. Service was warm and friendly. I had a sneaky peak upstairs and took some photos. I love the industrial vibe. I predict 2024 will be a year when people take more time to spend with friends. That’s my plan.

Jaslicking Seafood Boil, Kent
12 Market Buildings, Maidstone ME14 1HP, UK | Seafood Restaurant P: 01622 924586
Rating: 4.8 (68) Price Level:
The food here is so flavoursome! We absolutely loved getting stuck into the seafood with all the tools and gloves and bibs. There’s a really nice mixture of seafood/sausage and corn and potatoes so it’s a well rounded meal. We had a queen bowl between two of us, we probably could have eaten just a little more but it is a really decent portion. There aren’t a lot of side options so maybe some better sides would help to complete everything. The food blew us away but the service let us down a bit. We were a group of 8 so I appreciate that it’s a big table but there was only ever one other table of 2 in at the same time as us. It took forever for us to get drinks and a lot of them just didn’t come out so we had to keep asking. There was also ads playing in between the playlist which was awkward! The restaurant is really quite basic, there’s not a lot of colour or design to it but the food is amazing so I would definitely recommend it! It’s also just really nice to see something a bit different and independent in Maidstone.
Rating: 5 / 5
Booked a table for last Sunday at 4pm. We had an amazing experience, the staff were very attentive and the food was amazing. It was the 2 of us and let me tell you, the £65 boil was more than enough for us so it was really good value. The Jas sauce was so good with just the right amount of garlic and kick to it. We only had soft drinks but all drinks were reasonably priced. We also enjoyed the music, especially the Zimbabwean music. I would recommend anyone to try this place, we needed something like this in Kent. I am already planning my next trip ☺️. Thank you so much for the lovely experience, keep up the good work!

First time having seafood boil, Jas-licking was the destination to break the virginity, lunch time meal, greeted by Spiwe, shown to table, and given menu, went for Queen Platter with jas sauce, young lad delivered it to table, opened bag, tipped into bowl, the smell was great, food was delicious, left with a nice tingle on the lips, no room for pudding though. Decorated plain n simple, simple menu, lovely staff, excellent food, would definitely be back, thank you.

We thought we'd try this place on a quiet Thursday evening and I am so glad we did. The service was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was honestly out of this world. We tried the Queen platter and everything was so well cooked and full of flavour. The lobster tail was the highlight for me, and Jas sauce was delicious. I can't wait to go back already 🤣

Went there on my birthday and it was amazing. Such a great atmosphere, there was only one server/chef and he was so helpful and so kind. The food was absolutely delicious. 10/10 would recommend, never drop this standard

A lovely bar in Maidstone selling great food also. Visited on Thursday night which wasn’t very busy so had our pick of which table to sit at. Ordered burger & fries. Was absolutely delicious. & finished it off with a Tinkie winkie cocktail in a skull glass. Rock music playing in the background & lots of skull decor.
Rating: 5 / 5
So glad that this bar is doing well as we've seen bars come and go in this arcade. Great dirty burgers and chips at good prices, just be aware it can take a while. Friendly staff and fantastic to have a bar playing a great selection of rock music.

Mallus Restaurant
94 High St, Jubilee square, Maidstone ME14 1SA, UK | Indian Restaurant P: 01622 947424
Rating: 4.7 (502) Price Level:
Food was very tasty and service very good. I had the non-vegi Thali, which was a selection of 7 meat, fish and lentil dishes, rice and bread. It also included a small delicious tomato & coconut soup as a starter and a very interesting small dessert made with lentils, coconut milk and brown sugar. Excellent value for money and a great way to try different dishes. We had poppadums and samosas to start - all very good. And a delicious mint and lime cocktail.

Mallus Restaurant in Maidstone delivered an exceptional dining experience that left us thoroughly impressed. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff set the tone for what turned out to be a memorable meal. The food was simply amazing, capturing the authentic taste of Kerala cuisine with remarkable freshness and flavor. Every dish we tried was bursting with the rich, aromatic spices and ingredients that are the hallmark of Kerala cooking. It felt like a genuine taste of back home, a culinary journey that transported us straight to the heart of Kerala. The flavors were vibrant, the presentation was impeccable, and the portions were generous. Overall, Mallus Restaurant provided a delightful dining experience that exceeded our expectations. For anyone craving the real taste of Kerala, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

La Villetta
8 Pudding Ln, Maidstone ME14 1LN, UK | Italian Restaurant P: 01622 673759
Rating: 4.7 (390) Price Level:
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great food and excellent service! It's a cozy but decent Italian restaurant. We do love all the dishes, especially the lamb stew, it's tender and delicious. Thumbs up! We absolutely will come back and highly recommend it.

One of the best restaurants in Maidstone - delicious, authentic, home-cooked Italian food that never disappoints, and always a nice selection of specials. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is impeccable. A lovely, cosy place that we love to visit often!
Rating: 4 / 5
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.

Great experience in every way. Good food, good service, I'm sorry I didn't have time to eat something sweet, but I'll probably come back

Vesuvius Restaurant
26 Lower Stone St, Maidstone ME15 6LX, UK | Italian Restaurant P: 01622 664969
Rating: 4.7 (532) Price Level:
🍽️ 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.

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
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
Another wonderful meal. Great menu with so much choice. All freshly cooked, exceptional flavours and well presented.

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: 4.6 (4266) Price Level:
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.

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
Rating: 4 / 5
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 were greeted by a kind and smiling waitress who escorted us and presented their menu. She recommended a board with meats for three or four people. We were pleasantly surprised.

My wife and I wanted to try something different when we went out for dinner on Saturday night and this place didn't disappoint. The staff were lovely. The food was delicious.

Staff - friendly and accommodating. Took us as walk ins, and sat us away from the crowd as we had a sleeping baby with us. Food - served quickly and perfectly at lunch time. A french omelette and chips, amazing. Only personal improvement - could have had more blue cheese melted into it! Ha. Also, the pastries are heavenly. Well done and thank you.

Went for our wedding anniversary a week ago, had been years since we'd been so was nice to go again. Our food was mostly perfect with the exception of the Seabass, which was slightly over cooked and the plate was served with sauce over the sides. My Sole was fantastic, as was the rabbit tart, blue cheese and walnut salad and our Tart au citroens. We were given the choice of where we wanted to sit by a well-dressed gentlemen who couldn't have been nicer. A couple of gripes, though! If you want a soft drink then there is no drink menu for this and when asked it was Coke, lemonade, rhubarb press and one other which I can't remember. All again with lemonade if we wanted. I'd seen ginger ale and others in the fridge later on but was a bit disappointed not to be told this. Also, when our cutlery was cleared by the same waiter after our mains, he just put the cutlery in the middle of the table for us to sort ourselves. Little things may be, but make all the difference on a special night. Would definitely recommend and go back but won't be in a massive rush.

Went to The King's Arms today for a roast dinner.... it was hands down the best roast I've had in a pub, possibly ever! Firstly, the pub is dog friendly, 🐕 which is a must for me. I was greeted in the carpark by a lovely chap who helped find me a parking space, then took me to our table. I had roast beef.... everything (and I mean everything) on the plate was cooked perfectly! Crunchy yet fluffy potatoes, everything seasoned well, all veg had a slight crunch to them... spot on! I had the crumble and ice cream for dessert... also beautiful. Service was great, lovely wine. Five stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me!

What a great place for a Sunday dinner. Superb food- one of the best pub Sunday dinners I've had. The service from everyone was brilliant- happy, friendly, professional and efficient. Very busy- as expected- so a bit noisy. Best book in advance And great to see the parking is more sorted. 100% recommended- go eat there. Photo of my dinner.
