Market House in Maidstone

We've visited so many times over the past few years, and it never disappoints. My wife, daughter, and I enjoyed an incredible roast dinner. The staff here are always welcoming and go above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The warm atmosphere and consistently excellent food keep us coming back. A big thank you to the wonderful team.

Delightful little pub! Really enjoyed the meal and the staff were really lovely! We met a friend to catch up and the atmosphere was great! M

Service was excellent. The Loopy Juice was just the ticket.

Walked in after sign states roast dinners they don’t. Gentleman and lady came across rude and didn’t seem to want kids in the premises. Asked weather roof terrace was child friendly to be told this is a pub. Don’t bother unless you want a drink and attitude.

Food was Amazing. The service was top as well. Sadly need to do MORE Vegetarian options.

Great atmosphere. Drinks fairly expensive but nice nonetheless.

Nice little bar in the town, we had some nice wine and there was a live band outside. The outside area was very full and we didn't really get a chance to dance and enjoy the band but otherwise all was good.

Always a great time at the market house, friendly staff, nice beer and good food

Market House definitely gets five stars from me. Really good food and great service. I've been a few times now and have always been extremely happy with the entire experience.

Friendly staff, great live music all in all a great night out

Nothing beats a live band singing "dont stop believin" by journey as you enter the door. this place had a good atmosphere. it was a little crowded at the doorway and you cant really move further than 2 steps. nice friendly place, not busy as i thought it would be on a saturday. they have an upstairs outdoor roof garden type area which wasnt busy and also towards the back of the bar it wasnt busy at all. most of the action was by the stage area. not a young crowd probably most customers were 45+, not really an issue and no doorman which adds to the fact that this place is trouble free and have a good crowd.

Everything was great from start to finish.

We came here for a pre-dinner drink and the place was buzzing. A crowd ranging from mid 20-middle-aged alike, with no hint of any cliqués or anybody segregating. There was a queueing system at the bar, and a long queue formed at that, but this was dealt with swiftly, which tells me the staff don't dilly dally. The doornen were civil when we arrived, and indeed, they were equally so when they informed us we would need to move to accommodate furniture being relocated for the imminent band arrival and that kids normally need to vacate by 2000 (a rule they pointedly told us they would not enforce for us). All-in-all a good bar

Really enjoyed our time and return frequently.

We visited on a Sunday. The vibe was cosy and comfortable. There was good live music. They couldn't veganise the vegetarian Sunday roast, which was disappointing. Making it vegan would only make it attractive to a larger demographic. We had the vegan burgers instead which were good. They would have been better if the patties hadn't both been overcooked. They did have a handful of other vegan-friendly food options. More would be a great improvement, especially if they want to be seen as a responsible business.

The selection of food was not overly large but the quality was appropriate. The prices are reasonable.

Watched the band Reyes here and they were great. The pub is always packed out and the service is still pretty good. Lots of dancing and a great atmosphere.

Over priced food and for very little flavour.

Great service, delicious food and a delightful atmosphere. I'm definitely returning!

Lovely food. Chicken wings are slightly too dry for our liking but good flavour and lovely sauce. Flat bread amazing portion sizes good for price.

Called in for a quick snack at lunchtime, ordered a wild mushroom risotto. Very disappointed. Only about half a mushroom, almost no veg or flavour in the rice, and not at all tasty as it should be. Disappointed in the price of a pint of Guinness as well, £6.6 and within a quarter mile either way 3 pubs selling at £3.4 Not a good advert for Shepherd Neam

Great place for food and drinks! Can get noisy with the live band nights so if you want a quiet conversation go upstairs! Nice ambience and a real buzz about the place. Would highly recommend!

A very nice Sunday lunch roast beef with all the bits Definitely worth a visit

Good food. Reasonably priced. Great atmosphere

Went to see a band, great night.

Excellent, we were both meeting friends in druids pub, but they weren't doing food. So popped in here, and the food was tasty, hot and very welcoming.

Great spot for a drink and live music, roof terrace and tables out front Popped in today for a swift pint, warm welcome though bar snacks not available all day

Great pub in the heart of Maidstone staff really friendly,live music is good we saw Sean Pout great evening.

Great pub with frequent live music.

Staff were friendly and warm. Food was bang tidy. Reasonable pricing.

We went as a group of four friends on a Thursday evening. Staff were friendly, service was good as was the food.

Very busy on a Saturday night, but quick service and a wonderful environment!

Great food and service and Spitfire and Whitstable Bay.

This is a nice place to visit. The decor is very nice and everything looks well kept. The barman was very friendly and our food at lunchtime was served promptly. I had the duck and sticky rice which while tasty, was so spicy that it was painful! I checked the description in the menu to see if I'd missed something but I hadn't. There's something about this place which isn't quite right. Perhaps it's trying too hard to look old and authentic when everything is too new. Might be why it perhaps lacks a bit of atmosphere. It's not cheap but then where is these days.

Great service. Quick and friendly. Love band was brilliant.

I haven’t eaten here yet but popped in for a drink and the service and atmosphere was nice :)

Juste arrivée en Angleterre.....les pub toujours avec un orchestre le vendredi....... ambiance assurée.......ici le groupe metalika extraordinaire.......

Can’t book a table online, can’t call and make a table booking via phone because no one answers and we took a chance and visited to be told that 2 party bookings so we couldn’t have the empty table for 2 , very disappointed with the business

Went to see jade Goddard singer fantastic night

Such a warmth of welcome!!! Thank you. Attentive staff and def going back. My first time in there too... Christmas tree at the back looks beautiful it felt like home! With people you have known yet never met before ~ thank you

Friendly staff, quick service , food tasted nice and hot too full of flavour , was quiet when we went on Monday night in the restaurant aera but pub part was nice and busy nice atmosphere

Staff here are brilliant. Nice venue

Great place, great food and drink, and great staff.

One of the best boozers in town. No frills, no dills

Great pub always good service and good clients

Excellent service food and atmosphere

They have literally corner..ed.... the market.

Didn't eat here. Nice beer but the upstairs was messy with empties covering the tables.

Came here on10/9/23 had a burger & chips,chips were nice,burger overcooked too much,must of had a whole red onion in there cut thick as anything ,onion was a big as the burger itself,tastless too,won't be coming back unfortunately...

Great time. Very friendly and helpful service. Food was excellent. Wish I lived closer so I could visit more often.

Freundliches Personal serviert gute Essen zu fairen Preisen in angenehmen Ambiente.

Very nice place to have lunch or a meal

Good pub, staff are friendly and beer okay.

Really good food excellent service totally recommend

Good place to have a drink and some food.

An hour wait for two burgers and fries in a half empty pub. No apology for the wait and not once asked if we wanted further drinks. Disappointing as the layout of the pub is great.

No he ido a comer, solo a tomar unas cervezas. El local muy acogedor, los camareros muy amables y muy buena música en directo

Lively venue with a band playing. Managed to get drinks pretty quick. Nice quieter area at the back, but could still hear the band. Nice toilets that had very cool taps

Nice food and a nice relaxing location in the middle of Maidstone

Brilliant night, good band, good crowd, excellent staff 👍👍

Wonderful pub with great food. loved it I recommend it to all

Superb food atmosphere and very good staff

Always plenty of staff serving in bar area. Live music 🎶 Friday & Saturday night from 9.30pm

Nice atmosphere and good drinks, band were very good

We sat on the roof terrace for lunch. The food and service were good. The roof was quite shady at that time of day (afternoon). There was a big, noisy fan attached to the building (something to do with ventilation or cooling in the building, not one for moving the air around customers) that kept turning itself on, which made the terrace less peaceful.

Really fun on a Friday or Saturday evening when the live music is on. Generally, a really nice bar with a roof terrace, choice of beers is a bit lacking/generic

They do the best dirty fries in town

Good selection of beers and an excellent lunch. Service was very friendly and efficient.

Great place super friendly staff and the bands they have are great! Top place

Most of the menu was unavailable and we had to change our order a few times, what we ended up with was not that great. If you going for a pint and some snacks then maybe.

Really good atmosphere and music! Perfect Saturday night!🦾🍻🥳

Just had a gorgeous roast dinner. Beef was lovely, lots of veg. Very impressed!

A lovely pub with very pleasant staff. Nice social ground floor bar with long tables getting people to mix. There is a smaller room upstairs with its own bar (wasn't open when we were there) which leads on to a roof top beer garden. The staff were lovely. The Guinness was excellent as was the Spitfire.

Nice pub and very good live music

The food was delicious, and staff are always professional and polite.

Nice burger, welcoming pub would definitely eat here again

Visited here with my 2 buddies yesterday and I must say I had one of the best Meals I have had in a long time. The Pork belly was superb, (sorry to hear that it's coming off the menu as I'd willingly pay more if needed). Great atmosphere good service and one happy tum. Thankyou

My partner and I had a lovely Sunday lunch in The Market House yesterday. The beef was amazing and a generous portion. Lovely roasties, veg and a pot of gravy. Would both highly recommend.

A nice little pub in maidstone. Foods your typical pub fayre but with some diffrence. The food is hot and tastes good. Nothing tastes cheap and it's coke here not Pepsi so even better

Had a lovely roast yesterday. Service was excellent and free Gin for Mothers a bonus.

Beautiful meal delicious and warm service

Great pub saw Danama play there ....fantastic

I was recommended to the Market House for a vegan lunch today. But I had Mock Duck, but with non-vegan Noodles. It was very nice, but I would have preferred it if it had been vegan, noodles don't taste any different. The beer was also in excellent form. I would have given them a ***** rating if it had been all vegan.

Ordered chicken wings given chicken nuggets. Given someone's bill of £37. Explained that the bill was not mine. Bill was changed without an apology, my bill was only £19. Asked for an apology and all he'll got loose. The waiter said " Do you want my blood to show that I am sorry " Awful service

Nice enough. Could do with more comfy seating. Good range of beers. Very friendly helpful staff.

Great friendly pub. Love the map of Maidstone on the floor in the gents toilet.

Popped in here for a pre-meal drink. The pub is nicely decorated although the seating arrangements were strange. I think the benches had been moved to allow for a band later in the day. Tables were rustic but a bit rickety - lean too hard and your drink will spill! Friendly bar staff and full range of Shepherd Neame beers alongside other drinks.

Great atmosphere, live music every weekend , free entry 365 days per yr

I visited The Market House on Saturday lunchtime. My daughter and I shared 5 small plates £28 and they were really tasty. They were well presented. The duck tostados were amazing and so was the roast beef. I would highly recommend having food there. Also great atmosphere and lovely staff.

Great food, service, and atmosphere

Stopped to sample the small plates menu as had heard positive things. Absolutely loved it, brilliant service, well presented food and great value at 5 plates for £28. Enough for two people.

Good place to go but a little pricey

I like this pub the food is great and so is the service but with events it gets so crowded that it makes it very hard to order at the bar. The smoking area is also very small so it can get very claustrophobic during busier times.

Clean and welcoming pub, staff where attentive and the beer tasted good

Some great food and reasonably priced.

I've always liked the establishment. Nice vibes and ambience. Normally go on Friday night for dinner with my best mate. Must have been 15-20 times and never have I had a bad experience.

Nice atmosphere, not a great choice of food, & over priced, card machine not working, had to wait around, until it was sorted out, not good.

A lovely place with very tasty food and very friendly staff!

Went in on the 16/12/22 for our work's Christmas meal and had a lovely time. Attentive and chatty staff, can see the food being prepped which is a nice touch. It was warm and inviting inside. Despite living close to Maidstone this was the first time I'd actually been in the Market House and really enjoyed it. Nicely decorated inside, clean and tidy all through and the food was wonderful!!

Ed went 20th December 20222.. we main meal pork belly,, when it came ,,it wasn’t cool properly at all lot of top fat not much of meat also carrot was not fresh at all …
