Bull Maidstone in Maidstone - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Overall loved this pub very friendly staff and extremely yummy food

Nice pub. Sat outside as it was a warm sunny day. My friend's steak looked nicely cooked and he thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I chose the lasagne which was very dry and lacked the zippy, tangy flavour lasagne is famed for.

Chloé made all the arrangements for my mum's wake a few weeks ago. She was very friendly, helpful and efficient. Chloé's colleague Izzy made sure that we were well looked after on the day with plenty of food as well as friendly and efficient service. Thank you ladies!

We stopped here whilst passing through and ordered a sharing platter with side salad. There was a good selection of ales and the food was very high quality. We will be back if we pass through again!

Lovely pub never been there before but had a good meal at a good price

Warm friendly staff, guid food, it was a pleasant atmosphere, family friendly pub!

I have been here for food at lunchtime on several occassions before todays visit. I must say that each time it has been an enjoyable experience and a pleasure to return again. The atmosphere, decor, cleanliness and food are all excellent. The staff are friendly, efficient and quick to respond without hovering around while eating. There is a modern menu with classic dishes, vegan choices and a good selection from main meals to sharing platters. Reasonable prices given the high quality of the food. Outdoor seating area in the garden which overlooks the fields towards St Margarets church and West Farleigh. Free car park with hard surface but on a slight slope in parts. Wheel chair access into the pub. Dog friendly both inside the bar area and the garden. Recommend this place.

Pub and restaurant with garden area. The inside was nice and cool on a hot day and the seating looked comfortable. Outside is a garden with a covered area which is where I sat. The grass in the garden was overdue for a cut and looked a little ropey. I ordered some nachos which came out to me very quickly. It looked a little plonked on the plate but was a fair sized position and the taste was ok,if anything a little more cheese would have been nice. There is a good selection of drinks and I liked that my Old Mout berries and cherries even came with some berries in the glass and lots of ice which was very refreshing. The staff I came across all had a pleasant manner. I used the toilets and they were clean. The pub has a decent sized car park and there is no charge for parking.. I've driven past at the weekends and noticed the pub is often packed so it's clearly doing some good things

Haven't eaten there, but their is such a lovely atmosphere, it just feels friendly and relaxed. Can take dogs in, which is great. Nicely decorated, clean facilities. Lots of parking.

Love this pub and the food is great

Just stopped in for a drink in the middle of a long walk, friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere, highly recommend.

Food was delicious staff were great and smiley. Lovely beer garden dogs welcome.

We went here as there wasn't any places in Maidstone for a table all fully booked. The Bull had a very nice table for us, very welcoming, very friendly and we had freshly cooked fish (Haddock) and chips and garden peas. Delicious. There were plenty of other options on the menu to choose from. Will definitely go again.

Lovely food. Good atmosphere. Although not everything on the menu was available

Food good staff helpful, not alot for vegetarian shame

Wow! Where do I begin… popped in looking for a Sunday roast dinner and ooh boy I wasn’t ready for what arrived! The portion was huge and definitely filled me up after trekking through the hills and orchards. It tasted divine I couldn’t believe it. I’ll be bringing all my friends and family. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Fantastic food, warm atmosphere and very hard working staff

Lovely pub great local nice atmosphere

recommend for your Sunday roast, the Beef was totally amazing. Friendly staff, fast service, perfect atmosphere, cant get any better than that.

Lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere. Great service and good menu. Food - excellent

Lovely pub, didn't eat this time but have eaten here before. Good value for money. Service with a smile and reasonable choice of drinks.

Popped in for a drink on way home from eating elsewhere so can't rate the food but from previous visits it has always been very good. Staff very friendly, nice atmosphere, worth a visit.

Nice friendly pub staff. Plenty of seating and good selection of drinks. Nice menu. Eaten here a few times and always tasty. Had another good meal and drinks today. Best local pub in the area.

Returned to the Bull after a break as not previously impressed with former owners but I am very impressed with new manager, excellent place to eat and enjoy the atmosphere... definitely going back!!

Love this place lovely food great service and very nice garden, will definitely return!

Had a lovely meal with my husband, lovely service, food and clean Highly recommend and cannot wait to visit again 😀

Lovely pub, friendly and welcoming staff, great beer garden and dog friendly. Definitely be back

Food was ok. Chicken roast was nice, nothing special. 14.95 my partner had the lasagne, was very very dry, no sauce at all. The waiter was kind enough to offer us free desert which was kind, my Eaton mess was very nice but unfortunately my partner was left disappointed again when her chocolate brownie and ice cream came out with the ice cream already half melted, the bowl was very warm, assuming the brownie was warmed up in the micro. Was inedible for her... we was offered a replacement but shed had enough. Upon paying the bill at the bar I was made to feel as though I was trying to pull a fast one with the bill as I was not prepared to pay for the food we did not eat as previously discussed with the manager. However the bearded man behind the bar thought he knew more than I did about the food that he never even saw. Not the relaxed meal I had hoped for. Seemed a shame as I had heard good things. Maybe just bad luck who knows.

Although I've given 5 stars because of the friendly staff and nice restaurants. I must say that my dinner, I had the chicken curry that was lacking any body in the sauce and seems to be mainly vegetables. My other diners had a lovely dinner.

Edge of town pub with good beers and service. Food is old fashioned pub grub, could do with some creativity. Huge garden for kids and dogs. Plenty of parking.

Nice place for a quick bite at excellent price

Always enjoy our evenings at the Bull. Lovely pub, with a nice garden area which keeps the sun until sunset. Staff are all super friendly, helpful and efficient. Food is always great - the steak pie is definitely my favourite! Reasonably priced too. However, absolutely gutted to see they no longer do the biscoff cheesecake!! This was always to die for!

Ein typisch englischer Pub, mit kleiner aber sehr feiner Karte. Das Essen war hervorragend und preislich vollkommen in Ordnung. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

This place is epic. Friendliest staff ever. The landlord is a huge character, which just adds to the great atmosphere. Great beers, cracking food and really nice clientel. My favourite pub in Maidstone.

Met with friends for a drink. Lovely place.

Staff stood and watched me struggling to get through the door with my pram. A customer then came to help. First impressions count, this automatically put me off returning.

A real lost opportunity, the food is ok, not exceptional just ok. The service was just lackluster and the place was grubby

Nice place, lovely beer garden. The only moan, is that the food is quite expensive, but everything is these days.

Nice pub .friendly staff and good food

Only been there during the day/early evening for food. It is a lovely pub with a good atmosphere inside. Food is amazing and reasonably priced. Friendly staff and will always try to accommodate. My only gripe is the door that leads into the restaurant is always kept open so the smokers smell from the beer garden gets inside so when you are eating it does not make for a very pleasant experience.

Lovely pub, staff very attentive. We both order the steak,ale,horseradish pie, with mash and veg my friend had chips. We were both very disappointed the pastry on the pie was rock hard, and the veg were too hard you could even eat it .

Good food, ordered at the bar. A little long in waiting but that wasn't too bad as the quality is good. Was there on a Saturday afternoon, nice large outside area. Reasonable prices.

Lovely lunch will come back and sit in the garden next time

Fantastic service and staff, good food.

Popped in for lunch, not too busy. Good size beer garden, safe area for todlers. Food was very good, very tasty and well presented. Beer very good. Friendly and helpful staff. Basically very impressed and very happy. Thank you.

Excellent food and value for money we had the Scampi and Hunters Chicken access to the areas a little awkward for disabled persons not insurmountable this refers to the location of the toilets so decide beforehand upper level for easy access or a walk if lower level or outside is selected loved it in the garden would go again

This is what I call pub grub and its gorgeous

Beers are rather annoyingly always 'coming soon' so limited choice. Food is pretty good and a big garden.

Great place to eat, especially if you have allergies and take the dogs along! Best pub burger I have had in a long time. Thanks for looking after us. Especially my dally and the waving jack russell!

Always great food and service at this place.

Lovely atmosphere, cosy, busy on a Saturday afternoon, just what I like in a proper pub. Lovely staff. Let me sample a bitter to aid my choice which was a nice touch. Good snack selection. Will be visiting again.

Great place to stay and a big beer garden at the back.

Nice pub with a garden.After lunch you could walk down the hill to the river

Excellent service great food good value real ale definitely worth a visit

Last minute booking Sunday roast, it was excellent fantastic portions , great staff, really made it a pleasant way to spend a Sunday, can’t wait to return and try the rest of the menu, thank you

Lovely food and great service We will definitely go back

Took my daughter here , great food , great atmosphere.

Really nice pub.. Enjoyed popping for a drink

Great local pub. Lovely food. Very clean and staff are excellent. Highly recommended

Fantastic food, great atmosphere within a traditional village pub. dog friendly with a spacious patio & garden to the rear. Ideal for celebrating and friends so i've booked up for my 50th birthday gathering.

Lovely pub. Very friendly staff. Really enjoyed our visit.

Lovely food with excellent service will be going back. Very pleased.

Stopped on the off chance they would have a free table for Sunday lunch today at 2.30pm They did. Very polite helpful & efficient staff. The food was good hot and nice portion sizes. The place was clean and tidy. Will be going back again in the summer. Thank you Leah.

Friendly and efficient service. Very tasty scampi and chips - freshly cooked and delivered promptly. Menu contained offerings to suit all tastes. Pleased to note that there were not many empty tables and the adult clientele was of all ages.

Good food and service is always good. Reasonably priced too

Really amazing - such tasty food, great portions, really fresh and such friendly and welcoming staff. We went twice after a baby class nearby for lunch - a large group of mum's and babies and they were so kind and accommodating. The food was absolutely outstanding, can't wait to return, such a great experience both times.

Can't fault the food best scampi and chips I have had for a very long time

After a coffee morning at the Muggleton in Maidstone my father, his partner and I headed to the Bull at Barming for a spot of lunch and a beverage. Currently from Monday to Thursday there is a half price offer on the food. My father had one of his favourites - scampi and chips. His partner - small steak and chips and I sampled the fish and chips. Delicious is an understatement ! - we all agreed and these three meals came to under £19. Washed down with a pint of Proper Job, combined with the pleasant atmosphere this all made for a great experience and we're sure to return to sample other things from the menu.

Lovely place. Good food and relaxed atmosphere.

Always great, good choice of beers and good value food, staff always welcoming.

Nice pub with some good food options. Recommended

The Bull is a great pub - family friendly, nice atmosphere, great food and drink and the prices are very reasonable.

Good service, and reasonably good food. Had a very tasty steak pie, lots of tender meat but the pastry was hard, possibly overworked and overcooked. Otherwise, very good and would go back.

Always great value and good food! Great for dogs aswell!

Had a full breakfast good place to meet up with friends 😊

Couldn't fault it, very clean, good waitress and food was spot on

Great food. Serves real ale. Separate dining area.

Decided to stop here for lunch, l'm not a fussy eater and eat most things, i ordered hunters chicken, but unfortunately I couldn't eat the chicken, it was very dry and rubbery, and my husbands pie crust was very hard, but the meat inside was nice. I can only assume ume spent too long in the microwave

Friendly staff with fairly good service and good value for money. We had pre-booked from the Christmas menu. Food was a bit bland. Cheese board was great but confused by the toast and not crackers.

Contemporary style pub with good typical pub menu and range of ales. Entertaining quiz on Thursday night.

Recommended to come here as family visiting from Barbados. 5 of the meals were cold. 2 hours before deserts arrived. Very disappointing and not attentive service. Wont be back in a hurry.

Excellent pub, dog friendly with a great atmosphere and brilliant food

Lovely place. Staff so polite and helpful. Nice food but I thought menu quite limited.

Very nice pub, good food and excellent waitress service.

Great pub with a fantastic choice of Gin's.

We have popped into the Bull a few times for dinner and always been pleased so we booked to have their festive menu on Saturday absolutely delicious the food was wonderful and good size portions. We weren't rushed, the staff were very friendly and welcoming we will definitely be back. I highly recommend the Bull thank you 😊

Nice family pub. Nice food, friendly staff, always has a nice atmosphere

Lovely beer garden, food & service

Came today for lunch with my grandson....so disappointed with the meals ...having been here before and was good. Not today my grandson’s cheeseburger..he described it as slimy... my partner’s batter on his fish was over done....my falafel wrap was very chewy and difficult to eat....I had to get a steak knife to cut it. I gather it has new management ....and I have to add it was not very clean all 3 of us had to brush the seats of the chairs before we sat on them as they were not clean. The service was fine but the food was generally poor ..... I threw half my wrap away and my grandson left most of the burger as he said it didn’t taste right Disappointed......and just to add the menu was limited unlike previous visits

Good food, good beer and very pleasant staff.

Great meal and great service on 17 October.

Nice lunch of Nacho's and chicken wings. By a warm fire.Lovely

Food was not great! Pre heated food nothing was fresh. Staff where too busy chatting than serving

Took my family here for a celebratory birthday meal and had a great time. Nice clean pub with friendly attentive staff, good food and pretty reasonable prices. The fries here alone are reason for coming - best I’ve ever had. Only thing I’d say is the desserts could be a bit more generously portioned, but still delicious all the same. Really appreciate the clarity on the menu in terms of providing for gluten free and vegetarian/ vegan customers. Definitely will come again!

Myself and my family were there last night, we had a 1 year old with us and they provided a high chair and got him his food first as he was hungry as some of our group was running late! The food was delicious and cooked perfectly! The staff are so friendly and nothing was too much trouble! Although we live 45 minutes away, this lovely pub could be our new “local” Thank you for a lovely evening!! Anne Montgomery and family

Friendly staff, great food and good prices! Love coming here for lunch, garden for my little one and a nice atmosphere! Good gluten free options too!

Just been for lunch . Customer care 😂 had poached egg full of water from boiling I showed waitress this and got no apology or help with getting me a new one so I cancelled.. then ordered halloumi fries but they came out like 4 sausages and tasted like worst cheese . Fries mean fries so say it in your menu .. won’t be going again as they employ people that think they can cook but are not trained chefs .

We decided to go here for lunch today was very quiet but very pleasant. When we arrived 2 young girls standing at the bar welcomed us asked what drink we would like and to go find a table they would bring the drinks over. They was more then friendly and chatty. Really enjoyed our lunch will definitely go back.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, portion sizes were very large and food was very tasty.

Enjoyable Sunday lunch at The Bull. We were almost too late (around 4pm) but the food was there, well-prepared and promptly served. Wait staff were pleasant, attentive and smiling!
