A lovely old fashioned pub/restaurant just outside of Maidstone,Kent. I parked in their large free car park. Note that there are no parking restrictions. The pub is an old building with large oak beams, watch you don't bump your head in some areas. There are plenty of tables and I would imagine the area around the lovely open fire is rarely empty during the cold months. There is also a large outside seating area which is patio styled with plenty of wooden tables. The pub is run by Greene King and is more upmarket than usual and this is reflected in the menu and the pricing. I had some nachos which was a large portion and the tortilla chips were home made ( see pic ) very nice but at £9.75 the most I've paid in a Greene King pub. I saw various meals come to tables and all looked good and it's not all chips,chips,chips. They have the two meals deal but it's set at £14.99 hear which again is on the higher side but portions are generous. They still have some great offers on drinks with cocktails and spritzers at just £5.99. All staff I came into contact with were polite and friendly. This would be a great place for special occasions as the surroundings are lovely. Visited on 10/12/24 and was a little disappointed..trying to run everything with just one member of staff simply did not work. Tables were left with plates and glasses and there were times when no one was at the bar to serve

It was a very lovely experience down there. I’ve been to the restaurant twice. 5 of the photos were on my Samsung in which the photo quality isn’t great, the other 5 on my iPhone where the photo quality is better. I went there with my classmates and teachers. Originally, we was supposed to go in December 2022, but due to the snow and learning from home, we couldn’t go. However, we eventually went there in January 2023. I had fish and chips along with garlic bread and an ice cream sundae (pics from my Samsung phone which the photo quality was poor) and it was lovely. The second time I went was in July of 2023, again with my classmates and teachers. We had the meal out hence one of the teachers was leaving our school. This time I had a starter being chicken strips. My main meal was the same delicious fish and chips. One of my friends gave me a waffle which was beautiful. (Second time I went, photos were on my iPhone and quality was even better). The staff were very friendly. I would 100000% go there again :)

The Wealden Hall Public House, located at London Road in East Malling, Aylesford, is a historically significant building dating back to the late 14th century. Originally a farmhouse, it has been modified over centuries and now serves as a restaurant. The building's main block showcases exposed timber framing with curved braces and brick infilling, characteristic of its medieval origins. The service and solar ends are jettied forward on brackets and joists, and the structure includes a central recess supported by two curved braces, plain tiled hipped roofs with gablets, and various architectural features like a dragon post and a gabled stair-tower at the rear. In the mid-17th century, an extension was added, enhancing its historical and architectural value. This addition features a timber-framed upper floor, rubble stone ground floor with brick dressings, and a central ridge stack. Internally, the hall retains a collar-purlin roof with a crown post, and there are indications that it once had an upper-floor hall. The Wealden Hall is a Grade II* listed building, recognized for its architectural and historic significance, and has been officially listed since February 1987. Excellent food, and drinks, with a warm welcome & friendly atmosphere. The staff is attentive when entering this establishment offering a cosy, traditional pub ambience which enhances their dining experience. Regarding the food, the menu offers a variety of traditional British pub dishes: steak and ale pie, lamb shank, and fish and chips. I specifically commend the chicken and ham pie being a standout dish. Drink options are also well-rated, with a good selection of ales, lagers, and wines. A large outside seating area with parasols. Overall, the Wealden Hall I highly recommend for those seeking hearty, traditional British fare in a historic and pleasant setting. Dog-friendly... 🐕
