The Best Restaurants in Coxheath, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Well to be met by a smile is a rare thing now days so off to a flying start straight away. The feel of the bar is great really liked the decor and theme! The menu is great with some great sounding food and this was backed up by some great flavours, will definitely be returning soon. Hats off to to the staff for the food and service

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.

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! 🙂

Really good food and service. We found the chorizo a bit fat compared to what we usually get, but paella was delicious.

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.

A fantastic restaurant in Maidstone for tapas. A great array of dishes to suit everyone. Beautiful setting in a medieval building

The best fish n chips around. I had a large haddock and chips with curry sauce . Cooked to perfection as you can see , its allways the same great food lovely service thank you

Popped in Saturday night for a big family order. Service was great and the food was delightful. Fish cooked to perfection. My new favourite fish and chip shop.

2nd time I've used Marino's. 1st time was excellent so wondered if it would be as good. It was even better!! Fish in a separate box, lovely and crispy! Best fish and chips I've had in Maidstone area! Will be my go to chippie for our occasional treat!!

Amazing food like always. Super nice staff and the food is always great. Super cheap great food. Would recommend to everyone!

Great fish & chips. Decent size fish at last.

These guys doing proper food,it was the best fish chips I had so far ,reasonable prices with perfect customer service,keep up like this thank you..

I’ve lived nearby for over 4 years and this was my first visit. All I can say is thank god I hadn’t found it before as I’d be the size of a bus and an alcoholic!!! AMAZING! The staff the atmosphere the food I just can’t wait to come back…..but not set the fire alarm off next time! This pub rocks 🤩

It’s surprising how good pub food can be. The RedStart exemplifies this. Walk inside and it looks like a standard looking sociable drinking space. Sit down, look at the specials board, you begin to realise there is something special about this place. Yes it does prepare the traditional British dishes. The RedStart goes one step further and throws in European dishes into the mix. When these dishes arrive they ooze quality. Presentation, piquant and professional. These were some of the best tasting dishes I have sampled at a pub in Kent. For 3 courses I had change from £30, unbelievable given the standard of food. European pub food at it’s best.

The place is huge with indoor and outdoor tables and service. The food was amazing and the staff was so kind and friendly. There is plenty of garden area, it's really large. There's a playground so that you can take your kids and have a meal, a beer, and let them play while you enjoy the place. There's also some events there such as bingo and karaoke. The only negative point is the toilets, they're a bit neglected (old). The area where this place is located is so peaceful too. Worth the visit!

Visited the Redstart as a party of 8 yesterday evening, for the first time in years. What a great gastro pub! Lively, friendly, decent value, and, not surprisingly, packed! Good choice of traditional pub food on the menu, so something for everyone. We'll be back, recommended.

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.

Such a nice place, first time here and will be back more often. The food is awesome we had beef to share between 4! Both our waitresses were lovely, looking forward to going back.

Great place serving delicious unique dishes from a varied menu...

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.

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. The decor and music was traditional Bulgarian. Good pricing on the food too. We only stayed for food but next time we go back we would like to say for Entertainment, traditional singing and dancing

Just wanted to say the service was great very polite food was excellent Absolutely delicious will definitely give five stars and recommend this restaurant for families and for couples ❤️

So exited,the portion are really good size and definitely meet the value for the price. Saturday night the live music was super and the atmosphere was very friendly. The waitress was amazing and repayable I recommend that Seafood Platters. I am so excited can't wait for my next visit.

Amazing experience, food is absolutely delicious, my rib eye steak was perfectly cooked, also my friend’s food was delicious, everything cooked to perfection, you can tell it was prepared with love. Service amazing and all the staff so friendly and smiley, a very warm welcoming, making me feel very much like home. I highly recommend visiting Mexaha! As I have had an amazing experience!!

We spent 2 nights here - the night before and the night of our son's wedding. The rest of the bridal party - including the Bride and Groom - stayed here on the wedding night. The Manager, Mark, was quick to address and resolve a couple of problems that cropped up as a result of an engagement party taking over the entire restaurant and bar the night before the wedding. The rooms were clean, cosy and comfortable. The breakfasts were great - especially the one for 24 people the morning after the wedding. Nothing was too much trouble. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate the care Mark and his team took of us all. Thank you.

Stayed as part of a wedding party. The atmosphere off the pub was lovely and a beautiful layout. The staff are wonderful and friendly and couldn’t help enough. We stayed in Jake’s Orchard room. Very nice layout and design. The bed and pillows were so comfy! Best sleep I have ever had! Would definitely come back here for a nice summer’s lunch - now that I know it’s here! Thank you again! X

Went for a quiet Wednesday evening date night and what can I say.. the best service and food I’ve had in a very long time! Even down to the apple juice clearly being locally sourced! We ordered lots of seafood which is so easily done wrong, but the chef produced fresh, tender and perfectly seasoned food. Don’t be put off by the small menu, the chef has perfected his craft within those dishes.. 10/10! And also Great value!

We went for our staff Christmas meal. The food was lovely. The service was excellent despite the venue being fully booked. The atmosphere was lovely. It was beautifully decorated. Perfect.

Excellent service which is what I've come to expect at all the Elite pubs. Good value food and drink and nothing is too much trouble. Stayed 2 nights here which were very clean and felt very luxurious for the money.

First visit to the Potting Shed, a large indoor restaurant with plenty of seating inside and out in the garden. Plenty of parking too. Waitress was very friendly and efficient. I ordered the pizza Caesar, which came with a smoked salmon, anchovies and rocket topping. I ordered extra anchovies for a small price. I was not disappointed, the pizza was lovely and it was a good size too. My friends both ordered the steak ciabatta but both were disappointed at the amount of cheese which sat on top of the steak. They considered the price a little on the high side. The bill included a 12.5% service charge too. I would definitely visit again to enjoy one of their pizzas. The menu was quite extensive and it was difficult to make a choice.
