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.

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.

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!

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 / 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
Rating: 4 / 5
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.

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

One of the best restaurants in Maidstone - delicious, authentic French food that never disappoints, with an amazing selection of patisseries! The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is impeccable. Always a buzzing atmosphere, with a great wine list. A lovely, cosy bistro that we love to visit often!

Pastry hits! I knew it with just a look 🤩 The apple pie (green with raspberry on top) calls me to order, seems perfect for the winter holiday. My sister loved the lemon pie. Would definitely come back to try a full meal x

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.

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.

FiFi's Pizzeria
108-110 Week St, Maidstone ME14 1RH, UK | Restaurant P: 01622 669800
Rating: 4.6 (291) Price Level:
Went on a Saturday evening without reservation and the staff were very friendly to accommodate us immediately. A nice touch that I very much appreciated was the fact they got our over before the table next to us where there were like 6-7 people instead of just the two of us... which means we didn't have to wait ages. Very good pizza. Personal recommendation would be the Ham & Buffala. Soft drinks decently priced. From the desserts, the Pistachio Tiramisu was also very good. Would definitely visit again when in the area. 👏🏻
Rating: 5 / 5
What a phenomenal meal and experience. Every bite from the bruschetta to pasta dishes and bread with garlic oil and finishing off with the most delicious rum bata with coconut gelato was delectable. The restaurant itself it so smart and fun with a fantastic dining soundtrack that gets you tapping your toes and humming along. Service was great and definitely we will be coming back and bringing the whole family.
Rating: 5 / 5
Always an amazing experience at FiFi's. The staff are very tentative and make us feel like VIPs every time we walk in. The food is top notch and we especially love the truffle tortellini pasta and the Nduja pizza. A huge thank you to the staff for singing Happy Birthday to our daughter and making her day feel so special. The surprise dessert was a great touch. A special shout out to Lee our host and the Manager as always. Keep up the good work!

Didn't eat today. Pub was busy and staff were thin on the ground but seemed to be coping. One of the more expensive pub restaurants I've been in but the atmosphere was nice
Rating: 4 / 5
Very old pub in a great spot. Plenty of seating inside with both a large bar and large restaurant area. Staff were very helpful and the chef was accommodating to our specific requirements. All the food was cooked to a high standard. The only downside was the relatively high bill compared to other pub restaurants.

A lovely old pub with exposed beams & cockerel decor. Was impressed with the gluten free menu as there was a lot of choice which you don’t always get in other pubs.

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

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. Our dish was out of this world- Big Mixed Grill. It was amazing. The restaurant inside is spotless clean and smells fresh. Highly recommended!

Rating: 4 / 5
We recently visited Spice Lounge in Coxheath, and while it didn’t blow us away, it offered a pleasant evening overall. The food was decent, with a few highlights. We tried the Chicken Tikka Masala (Madras Hot), Chicken Tikka Dhansak, and the Chicken Chadga – the latter being a house special. The Chadga stood out with its vindaloo-level heat balanced by layered flavors that offered more than just spice/heat. The rest of the dishes were nice, nothing extraordinary but also nothing to criticise. The service, however, was excellent. The waiters were polite, attentive, and friendly, striking the perfect balance of being helpful without interrupting conversations. It made the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. The ambiance was comfortable, with pleasant music and tasteful decor that added to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the restaurant's single toilet, located near the dining area, detracted from the experience. It felt awkwardly placed and a little intrusive, which could use some rethinking. Overall, Spice Lounge provided good value for money. The friendly service and solid house special make it worth a visit if you're in the area. Rating: 4.4 out of 6 Six Poppadoms Please #6PP
