Royal Albion in Maidstone

Had a friend who hired garden for party what an amazing night staff were brilliant friendly

A busy pub with the best services.....,

Lovely little pub with great love music outside

We have had a large funeral here a few years ago and my niece 21st party,.. Lovely pub as its got outside seating to the front and rear, along with lots of undercover seating. Staff/owners are all lovely, and very accommodating, highly recommend, for just a drink while shopping at fremlins or functions.

Live band playing. No real ale. NOT EVEN masterbrew just fizz

Great pub with a good pool table ( hard to find any left now), friendly staff and a good selection of drinks.

Watching England rugby here. Great staff great atmosphere.

Had some amazing toasted ham. Brilliant place, went on Saturday amazing atmosphere, nice outside space. Unfortunately, met zero Royals or Greek Goddesses

Have not drink hurlimans for a white, Lovely pint.

You must go on the quest yo find the Mummy. It is a great maze to adventure through.

Just the best live music venue in Maidstone

Didn't eat (but sure it is very good). Fabulous atmosphere on Sunday afternoon with a live band.

Awesome staff and best pub in maidstone

Crush live today, thank you for great music

Had a surprise party here and Sharon was very helpful in getting everything set up. Was a great night, would recommend if anyone's looking for a venue for a party

Friendly staff, not a bad selection of beer but pub only seems half open!!

Proper old fashion boozer staff top notch

Lovley pub with a friendly atmosphere

Great historic pub. Unfortunately they did not have any draught beer. Later in the evening it felt quite cold in the bar.

Nice pub, music on Saturday was really good

Great location. Went to listen to a band. Outside seat and garden.

It is very royal and very albinian

A reasonable pub is the Albion. Friendly service. Top dollar for a Guinness though, so it's not a place I would drop in regularly as there is cheaper to be had in close proximity. The beer yarden out the front catches plenty of sun but it's really exposed as it's practically on the street. There is always some music pumping in this place, which is a positive, so it's a decent spot if you're looking to avoid the football crowds. Not bad on the whole.

Small Shepherd Neame pub selling standard Shepherd Neame beers. My pint was like vinegar, so I'm not sure they sell much ale as most people there were drinking lager. They would have swapped it if I'd asked though! The pub itself is weirdly laid out, pretty narrow, dark and gloomy in places, with not many tables. It kind of gives a weird vibe. There is some outside seating. No parking, but fremlin public car park is next door.

There is a jukebox and a pool table so you can have fun while drinking and the people who work here are all really pretty.

Nice little shepherd neame pup. friendly staff good pint of master brew

Awesome pub, Been drinking in 'The Bin since' 1996 and still my first watering hole when back in town. Changed a lot but still has character

Lovely pub, and nice staff .. thanks from kev and Jack

live music what more can you ask

lovely staff great outside space excelent music scene

Very nice pub with great staff recommend

We were willing to give this pub a second chance after the disgraceful event of “DJ CORONA”. So, we went in today for 12pm with a booking, we weren’t told how long this booking would last us for or if there was a certain amount time we could spend when we made the booking might I add. We stayed all day, buying drinks and lining the pockets of this pub. To be treated at 6:30pm with absolute disregard and disrespect, zero customer service on their part as we were apparently on a reserved table for the evening. We had not been told this throughout our entire stay nor given the chance to change tables to an unreserved table, before the hoards of people flooded in. We were made aware there would be a party on the lower part of the garden, however, there was not one regard for social distancing or reinforcement when this “party” accumulated into a huge group of 20+ strewn across the now upper and lower portions of the garden. Thoroughly disappointed also with the service as this “party” grew as we and other patrons were left without a server for over an hour! This was noted by a patron who was supposedly “friends” with the landlord. We won’t be coming back, such a shame as we had thought they were welcoming at the beginning of the day.

Went there yesterday all covid secure. Large open area with seating at the back

Nice pub, spacious outside area, friendly staff!

Ok love this place the best staff ever cosy

Great band, friendly staff real Maidstone pub.

A thew issues need to be addressed when there's a private Party there can be a good night out in general

The karaoke here can get a little intense at times. The pool table at the back provides good entertainment and the drinks prices are good as well.

Excellent service, friendly staff and nice mood. Inside, you can sit at the bar or in the tall tables, or in the couch 🙂. Outside, you can sit in the wooden tables. There's also live music events every now and then.

Just love maidstone museum and so do my grandchildren

Pre ramblin visit. Nice cold cider. Quiet.

Didn't go in but seems like a nice place to go for a meal and a soft drinks.

Nice friendly pub really enjoyed our night

Great local pub with good atmosphere and interesting mix of characters. Had many a good night here

First time we have gone to this pub. Saw our very good friend Will Whisson. Friendly staff and very nice place. We shall be going back.

good place for karaoke on Friday nights

Not a bad little pub tucked away behind the shops. Never knew it was there and I have been to Maidstone tonnes.

Claims to be Maidstones' oldest pub but you wouldn't know it as it's been modernised in a very soulless generic way. There's a large flat screen tv which was playing a music tv channel and a blue pool table. The single hand pump had Shepherd Neame Brewmaster which was well past it's best - most of the clientele were either drinking lager or cold bottled beer. Nothing awful but many better options in the area.

Enjoyed my evening here , friendly helpful staff.

Pub is OK but Shepherd Neame beer is pretty awful. No decent ale or stout.

Excellent Sunday afternoon venue live music and great beer

Lovely food. Beautiful rooms. Great location

Fab pub and Maidstone's oldest. Great staff. Give it a go.

Oldest pub in Maidstone. Friendly staff and atmosphere

Lively local always a good atmosphere, live music and ad hoc events make it a place to be.

Nice real ale from bottle and pump.

Hosted Ingress Mission Day here in April, the staff were wonderful, and always smiling. Definitely recommended.

Nice traditional old pub. Good music. Expensive compared to local pubs. AND it's Shep's so the beer leaves much room for improvement!

Nice friendly pub serving real ale from Shepherd & Neame!

Good local, pool table, music, friendly staff.

Nice friendly pub, in the center of town. Good choice of beers.

We describe this as a spit n sawdust pub, but without the sawdust.

Nice pub.Gpod customer service.
