2024 October Review NEW AND UPDATED Back again at the Stile Bridge, with the previous chef who departed 6 months ago, it has been time to try the new menu again. At a glance the new menu has inspirations from Asian cuisine slashed with British classics. A very good choice for all palates of flavours. To start, the house bread and oils, the Focaccia style bread was delicious , crispy, fluffy and tasteful, most perfect bread you could ask for to start. The lamb meatballs, had an Indian inspired taste coated in crispy panko, I actually thought the additional aioli style sauce was not needed. Next up was the boneless chicken wings which was a let down, with its dry flavour, baseless and bland texture it felt like the wing was absolutely battered and butchered to create this flattened pancaked wing. Mains : Chicken salad - chicken was super juicy and tasteful, with a salad which isn’t drenched in dressing, the perfect amount for a main dish, with expedited pickles which were fab, and well seasoned dish. Pork sirloin, juicy, cooked well rather tender as welland had great accompaniments with it, the jus was flavourful and hit the spot. Scallops, cooked well, fresh, and plenty of spark. Overall the Stile Bridge did not disappoint again, will be back, and loved the service. Truly so far still one of my top recommendations for restaurants in Kent. Best for those who actually have an eye for food and an open palate. NOT for your typical boring clientele. 2023 Review - A MUST TRY hidden Resturant in the country side of Kent Food Quality 4.7/5 Presentation 4.5/5 Price 4.6/5 Service 4.7/5 Atmosphere / Ambiance 4.2/5 Stilebridge offers an South American fusion with British cuisine, utilising fresh and local ingredients of Kent and East Sussex. It is a show stopper of a restaurant to visit if you are in Kent. compared to other restaurants within Kent, which serves typical British classics and other delicate British style dishes it is good to see a pub serving a different variety of food from around the world, being a Michelin guide recommendation, the Stilebridge is certainly a place that is well worth on the Michelin guide. The food I would describe it as light South American heavily infused with British twist, this is definitely done to please the pallets of local clientele within Kent which are known for having less adventurous pallets, but as an individual who thrives on flavour, exoticNess and wonder, this may also be the place for you as it is especially for me it is. The octopus and pork belly was fragrance, light and packed full of simplistic flavours, which hit each flavour on the tongue perfectly. Had a small cake which enhances the flavour of the dish., I would say the octopus is a touch over done when I had it, but the pork belly was cooked perfectly. The lamb rump was cooked to perfection, after talking to the chef, and knowing that it was a dry aged lamb from Romley Marsh? Very well with the potato jus accompanying it very well with its lights and arrogant flavours. I would have liked more of the sweet potato jus upon my dish, the lentils works. Well I would’ve liked a bit more than those as well. The Korean style, Bimbap works well for local clienteles pallets, however, I would have preferred it a lot more crispy rice at the bottom of the bimbap, after discussing it with the chef, who was very polite and friendly, it was understandable why it was done in such a way. The side dishes of the potato, Bravas and the pickled salad was a very nice for the compliment to my main protein dishes. Overall, the Stilebridge is a great restaurant you should visit, as a reviewer, I never eats anywhere five stars restaurant wise, however, with my own personal recommendation, I recommend a rate Stilebridge very highly and would be back again to try the other menu items. I would love to see more South American dishes because it’s hard to find authentic dishes done right utilising British local projects which I highly enjoy. My compliments to the chef. Thank you

Having grown up in the area before moving away and witnessed this pub change hands countless times with varying results, The Stile Bridge was a most pleasant surprise. We went for Sunday lunch as a punt due to family moving to the area, but this venue would now be among my top recommendations for a Sunday roast. The staff were warm and knowledgeable - it's always a sign of confidence, and passion about the product, when they approach you to ask if you have questions about the menu rather than nervously hoping you don't and just pick something. Most importantly the food was incredible. The meat was high quality and cooked beautifully and the trimmings were equally tasty with not a sniff of the Aunt Bessie's about them. We thought everything was fairly priced all things considered - contrary to some other reviews the service charge is clearly stated across the menu and the website. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and look forward to coming back and trying the main menu next time we're in the area

I read the reviews and and can't agree, I went out for a traditional roast and this was almost inedible, weird flavours on overcooked veg and horrible tasting smeared dollops of some pureed stuff, the beef tasted of chicory.. awful, now while some people may like this take on a roast because they watch too much master chef and think it's "hip" and "on trend", it's not my taste and a roast should be left alone, and to top it all I was presented with a bill for over £60 including a service charge I wasn't even told about, definitely scrubbed off my roast list.!

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Not a typical Sunday lunch, far far more than meat, 2 veg and gravy. The lamb and beef were excellent and there is a variety of vegetables to choose from. Superbly cooked!

I'd been wanting to visit The Stile Bridge for some time; it was with some excitement that I saw how nearby a restaurant in the Michelin guide was. It did not disappoint. Beautifully cooked meat, with the best chips I've ever tasted - well seasoned throughout, crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The pork sirloin was delicious, the beef sirloin moreso. I will be back very eagerly. Lovely service as well, and some nice drinks offerings.

My friend booked us in for Sunday lunch at this little gem, after looking for a place to park overnight in our Moho’s, following a cracking weekend at the Blue Reef festival. Manager very kindly agreed to let us park overnight with purchase of a meal. Not a huge car park but enough space for 3 Moho’s. On arrival, we found that this is a restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide and I have to say, the food was absolutely superb! I had the roast beef and it was tender, succulent and cooked to perfection! Being big foodies, each mouthful was a little slice of culinary heaven and as it happened to be my birthday, made my day even more special! Would defo recommend this little jewel - the staff welcomed us like old friends, were super friendly and looked after us very well. It was an extremely hot day and such a relief to find that upon entering the establishment, it was refreshingly cool inside. We sat in the garden area after dinner, feeling pleasantly full and sipping on a blackcurrant and apple beverage, topped with small segments of baked apple - yummy! Big up to all the staff at The Stile Bridge for going that extra mile to make our day and compliments to the chef for the fantastic gourmet experience - 10/10 all day long!

Thought this would be a typical English Pub but was surprised at the menu - very modern. Excellent meal for both my wife and I. I had the "large plate" - Pork Sirloin and she had the"small plate" Salmon. The service was also excellent. Had a wonderful desert to finish the night

Honestly this place is a true hidden gem, and It’s only a matter of time before it becomes not so hidden! Myself and my partner visited on a Sunday, had the octopus small plate followed by the roast beef, and the Plaice… every single mouthful was beautiful. Understated, high quality, friendly and not at all stuffy. Wonderful experience facilitated by superb staff that really know the menu and the drinks offering. Will be coming back 1000%

Stopped here for a Sunday lunch with my partner. It’s an interesting place- they have a fusion menu with Middle Eastern influence I think and the roast wasn’t conventional. I feel that this place could have a Michelin star if it wanted- but it’s not overcharging. Don’t have a dessert as nothing appealed but overall v tasty. Needed some green veg though.

A place of real difference. The Stile Bridge offers an excellent level of service, variety of drink and fantastic food. Not your average English pub, but with all the charm. The wine list it has great variety of flavour and price, the food stands out from the crowd and we love this place. Worth a long distance drive for those that don’t live close, for those that do…lucky.

Well what an unexpected delight. Everything about the meal was perfection. The menu was understated. The chicken, cauliflower and carrot main dish was actually the best chicken I have eaten in a restaurant for 20plus years, and the cauliflower best I have ever eaten. So if you fancy a culinary delight please try it.

Absolute quality. I didn't even ask and knowing I didn't have the use of one hand they cut my steak up for me. I'd forgotten to ask, absolutely chuffed they had the forethought. All the food couldn't be better, but I know it's a bit coarse, but I've never had potato wedges (kinda chips) taste that good in my life, and most of us have had chips before.

After an excellent Valentines evening meal at the Stile Bridge (special 5 course tasting menu) we decided to try the Sunday roast offering. It did not disappoint again. We shared some bread, pumpkin seed houmous, olives and a pork and octopus small plate to start followed by 1x chicken & 1x pork roast dinner. All excellent, could not fault anything including the, beer, wine, service and surroundings. We’ll go back for sure, probably with family when something needs celebrating… soon I hope 🤞

Visited on a Friday lunchtime. There was one large group, and 2 other couples dining. Service was very good - suitably informal/relaxed but very knowledgeable. Food choice (from a set menu) was limited, so not necessarily what I would normally choose, but that was good - fantastically tasty food, and perfect quantities. We will definitely be returning.

I have been here a few times since it got taken over by the owners of the Poet at Matfield. The service never disappoints, and neither does the food. There is always a roaring fire (an essential this time of year) and the background music makes a lovely environment. Today I had the game slider (small burger) and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked, falls apart in your mouth and, when paired with some triple-cooked chips, can be the perfect lunchtime snack. On other occasions I have had the steak and it is to die for. No steakhouse can rival the Maminha which is always tender and juicy and can be shared between two. Luckily for me, mulled cider had just been put on the menu for the festive season and it is delicious and warming, a lovely little early Christmas present. All the front-of-house staff are warm and passionate about giving the best experience they can, and the chefs even come out (when they have time) to talk to you about the food. Ultimately, I will be returning many more times, this place and the staff have earned a special place in my heart/belly and I can definitely say the Stile Bridge is the best restaurant in Maidstone and the surrounding area.

Extra red wine reduction in a jug ensured we weren't asking for more gravy. No sauces were offered, but arrived quickly when we asked. Strange choice of music however (American guitar blues), and a little too loud (so made it hard for our ageing parents to hear all the conversation)...but it's only a small niggle for an otherwise great pub, and they did turn it down when requested. Some nice touches in the loos...an empty soap bottle however :-( Dogs seemed welcome, decor was great, ambience and service v good. Will deffo be back.

Visited The Stile Bridge for the first time since it has reopened under new management. What a lovely welcome we received. The food was amazing!! Best meal I’ve had in a very long time. The staff made the dining experience. Jason our waiter was so attentive, kind and professional. As was Bradley. Any questions I had about the menu was answered in depth and produce used explained. The chef even came and checked on us during our mains. All staff were happy to be working there it was plain to see; which is nice in this day and age as sometimes waiting staff are overworked and underpaid. Not here. Well done to the new owners. Very impressed. We will be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A truly creative menu, the dishes are top quality, everything on the plate had been carefully crafted and thought about deeply and with very reasonable prices for this level of cooking. I had the pork on the lunchtime menu which was utterly delicious. The service was exceptional even the chef came out to talk to us during the meal. Will most certainly be returning soon!

A pleasant pub with open plan dining and drinking areas. They are over charging as the menu is limited with smallish dishes at restaurant prices. The diner with me said his pieces of lamb were beautifully cooked but my fish was boney with the head still attached. Small accompanying dishes at an extra charge. Based on other reviews, apparently other diners are willing to accept these prices for a pub meal. There is too much competition for me to desire to return.

My goodness - That has got to be the most delicious lunch I've had. Stopped by impromptu with my boyfriend and doggo (so doggy friendly). We had the bibimbap as a main and the egg, chorizo starter. Breathtaking. absolutely cannot wait to come back. Service was 5* too!

Tried the Polish zapiekanka, highly recommend it. It was delicious and the size was very good for its price. Also, I tried a few drinks and all fulfilled my expectations, absolutely delicious! The seating was comfortable, and the setting looked quite nice. I will for sure come here again.

It looked like a nice pub but they said they don’t do food. So confused! Removed stars only because of that. If they don’t do food anymore that should be clarified somewhere.

We arrived 30 minutes before the end of the food service (2pm) but they still welcomed us. We ordered two dishes: the pie of the day (chicken, bacon, leek) with mash and veggies and lamb chops with mash and veggies. At first when I saw the prices I thought it was a bit expensive but when the dishes were served I saw the portions and was surprised how they were very generous, and the flavors were well-defined. The staff was friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our experience. A nice pub, I recommended it.
