We booked a booth to catch up with friends and grab some food. Staff were great and the food was really good.

Three for lunch. Three different burgers, all delicious. Great fresh produce combined for a flavourable feast for the tastebuds. Will definitely be returning to experience other menu items. Excellent service, always with a smile and nothing too much trouble. Very clean and well maintained venue. Keep it up team Matches!!

Great service through the app, and it's a sports bar so atmosphere as expected. Unfortunately bad experience with the food ordered (pulled pork nachos tasted good but really upset me).

Strap in for a flavor voyage that’s light-years beyond ordinary with the Matches chicken burger—a galactic masterpiece that defies all expectations. The moment you unwrap it, you’re greeted by the aroma of spice and sizzle that could only come from a celestial kitchen. The chicken itself? Pure cosmic perfection. Crispy on the outside with a golden crust that crackles like a meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere, yet impossibly tender and juicy on the inside, as if it’s been marinated in the Milky Way itself. With every bite, you’re transported to a place where chicken burgers rule the cosmos. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a supernova of taste, exploding in layers of flavor that seem impossible to be contained in one burger. Matches has truly crafted a chicken burger that’s out of this world—one that you’ll be dreaming about long after the last bite. Simply put, this is the space-age experience your taste buds have been waiting for. Now is it me, or does this review deserve an Oscar, or at the very least a complimentary chance to be able to relive this moment. Matches, what do you say? Another one on you?

Cool sports bar in the centre of Ashford with plenty of screens, seating and some booths. Clean toilets. Good menu... Pizzas, wings, dirty fries and all the other grub you want whilst necking pints and watching the footie. Staff were friendly. Guiness was very expensive.

We had our son's 10th birthday at Matches in Ashford and played Interactive Darts and then played Nintendo Switch while eating loads of pizza and chips in their Snug. The party was a great success, the kids loved it. The staff could not have been more helpful, they created a really friendly atmosphere and made us all feel really comfortable. We will definitely be back! Thank you again.

We've been dying for a bar like this in town for many years. Matches is the perfect sports bar! More screens than you can shake a stick at, good seats, n64, playstation, shuffleboard, pool, beer pong, karaoke, the lot. We've booked the VIP room a few times now and you really do get top service. Keep an eye out for Jodie who is always at hand. The food is great too. Love the match burger and loaded fries, plus the different options for snacks and light bites. Really helped when wash down by the large selection of craft beers as well as your usual premiums. Your table gets cleared almost as often as you finish your drink, as the staff are always on it. Great service! Hmmmm what else? The toilets are well maintained, there's an electronic dartboard, children and pets are welcome, and the atmosphere for football games is electric. At night, despite not many sports being on at this time, the place is vibrant and full of people living their best. I believe there is another Match Sportsbar in Canterbury, which I'm yet to attend but will definitely be making my way there soon. Thanks all. You've added a lot to this town and I can only speak positively about the experience I've had over the last couple of years. Ben :)

Don't bother. Only 1 dartboard, 1 shuffleboard, 1 pool table and some outdated TV screens with N64 controllers. First come first serve on the darts/pool etc and people just stay on as long as they want, because you can't book. It's not a "sports bar" it's a bar, and not a very good one.

We didn't have food here but we had drinks and booked a karaoke room. Our server was Heather and she was amazing! She was so lovely. Her and the manager agreed to let us stay in the karaoke room a little longer. I did however slip down the stairs (my own fault) and Heather helped me and patched me up. I will be forever grateful for how welcoming Heather made me feel. And the rest of the team to be fair! Thanks guys! Will definitely come back ... after I've swallowed my pride from making a fool of myself falling down the stairs and blubbering!

Booked the Matchbox room for a 30th birthday - there was 17 of us in total and I paid for karaoke and beer pong. I couldn’t fault it at all! Communication with the team was brilliant, I was even able to drop off a cake and a few balloons beforehand. The room had a really nice, cosy vibe but spacious enough to move about, the beer pong was a fun icebreaker that included a 4 pint jug of beer of our choice and karaoke had a huge choice of songs to get everyone up. I didn’t catch the managers name but she was an excellent host and made sure we had a great time 😊 All of the bar staff were great too, as usual! Despite the sore heads the next day, everyone said they’d had a brilliant time and would do it again. I knew we’d have fun but it exceeded my expectations! Would 100% recommend this to friends

The best gem in Ashford. Great service, friendly and accommodating staff happy to help create a fun atmosphere for any event. We slumped in yesterday feeling let down from an event that did not meet our expectations and the staff, atmosphere and available amenities truly turned our night around. We were able to make a last minute booking of the available match box for kareoke. Amazingly spacious room made to feel cosy that was privately tucked away for our tired voices to sing our hearts out! Staff were amazing and checked in on us to ensure we had drinks and food that we needed. Disco ball added to the atmosphere as well as working air con. I have already booked to return. Great price for what we get. Thank you to all the staff for making our night one to remember!

Usually a big fan of Matches but went a couple of weekends back and 2 pints (Heineken and Inch's) cost £16.60!

Went here to watch the women's world cup game vs Australia. The atmosphere is okay, it's very loud and there's just a bit too much going on for me, so many screens that you end up switching your eyes from one to another. Didn't eat but the food looked decent enough. Almost £6 per pint is a bit steep. I would suggest it's more tailored to a younger audience.

What a delightful gem in the heart of town! My partner and I stopped by on a whim today and were pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive, quick, and delivered with a smile. It was heartwarming to see the café acting as a welcoming hub for the older generation, with staff so familiar with their regulars that they knew their orders before they even sat down. This is exactly what a cafe should be! The portions were generous, and the value for money was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back!
