The Bredhurst Bell in Maidstone

Lovely experience at the bell today as always. Excellent service from Lauren and Sue. Always a pleasure with these lovely ladies 😊. Mix grill is the best I’ve ever had!

Lovely meal here again today . Nice comfortable place to be .Staff lovely especially Sue & Jordan .

Great pub food staff friendly and great service highly recommend you try them out

We had an amazing roast dinner last week. Food was freshly cooked, plenty of gravy and extra sides. Staff were friendly and helpful as always. Nothing is ever too much for them. Definitely recommend having a roast!!

Thought we would try this one as it's local but such a disappointment - chose the duo roast dinner which tasted and looked as if everything had been frozen and warmed up (actually, no taste!) The huge Yorkshire pudding looked appetising but was chewy to eat. The service was poor and painful sitting next to and listening about holiday experiences from the table we were practically joined to at the hip!🙈 Furniture very shabby and sticky Vicki springs to mind! The positives? One meal refunded 👍and apologies. The barman looked under pressure so no wander he wasn't exactly a happy chappy either!🙄

The lasagna was soggy and small. Brown garlic bread?very odd.Rhubarb tart very soggy. Needs a complete refurb. Disappointed as we had Our family visiting for the day.

Polite and friendly staff, delicious food and great service.

Wonderful afternoon spent in this clean, welcoming and quality pub. Sue was the star of the show and was service

Best pub in the area. Nice food, friendly staff, good atmosphere

The staff we're very helpful and friendly the food came out very quick and hot . I would definitely recommend this pub .

We had a lovely meal at bredhurst Bell thanks to Sue our attentive lovely waitress. Food was excellent and Sue was brilliant. Will definitely go back again.

Gorgeous food served with a smile by the wonderful Sue. We go every week the food atmosphere and cleanliness is fantastic, best local food

Dirty sticky tables in the garden, old and tatty furniture very over priced for the quality of the food served but then what do you expect from the greene king chain, utter disappointment the whole way through.

Amazing Jordan the manager was so helpful

I had a table booked for an afternoon tea with a friend. Absolutely fantastic service from Sue from start to finish. The afternoon tea was great value and very filling and I would highly recommend it. Lovely venue and very friendly atmosphere.

We had three courses, all the food was lovely, and the staff were really happy to help make accommodations for some small changes we requested. Would come back

Staff very friendly and the food was excellent. The Bredhurst Bell is an amazing pub and I highly recommend it. Set in a small village in Bredhurst, near Gillingham.

Friendly, good food, not too modern

A rather disappointing meal had this evening .....a microwaved lasagna arrived in less than 10mins from order wiv some rather limp looking rocket. Chiabatta barely coloured!!! Felt rushed as hardly finished one course for plates to be whisked away and do u want dessert? We were barely in the pub any longer than 1hr 10mins to eat 2courses and 2 drinks each !! The rear area is far too dark even when sun is coming in thru rear windows!! Will be giving this pub a miss as far better Greene King pubs around!!!

The pub is very much family orientated which of course is good But from the rear entrance as you walk in it is all rather dark and uninviting rather than first impressions of being warm and welcoming to the customers As i only live in Rainham I will not be coming back anytime soon Say it how it is

I visited the establishment on Wednesday.Claire was a great hostess, good price and really good food nice atmosphere. And the locals are really friendly.

Amazing place to suit any age the food was amazing and value for money highly recommended

Lovely village pub. My local. Always great friendly atmosphere. The once a month live music is amazing. Highly recommend. Very clean.

Very nice Sunday roast, waitress Sue very attentive, prompt service 👌

Lovely meal in a great pub. Sue provided excellent customer service thank you!

Great service. Sue was wonderful and very helpful. Yorkshire puddings and chocolate fondant were the highlights

Totally loved this place. The food was fresh and hot. The customer service was brilliant and the pub itself was warm and welcoming. The prices for the meals are not the cheapest but we'll worth it. I will definitely be going back. Dogs are also welcome

Highly recommend the bell. Food is delicious and service is perfect. Our server, Sue, was lovely! Big smile and excellent service! We will definitely be coming back.

Distasteful service, was there for a wake after a funeral. I was served an alcoholic drink without being asked for id, I then had the drink taken off me, asked to leave and the whole wake was refused service. It eas there error in the first place. I will be reporting and I hope to see that owner go. Went to the harrow up the road which was better, friendlier and more understanding.

Staff were patient and friendly. Couldn't fault them. Food was great too. For the future it would enhance the experience if a seat were available for breastfeeding mums in the baby changing room

Poor menu, does not give value for money.

Nice family friendly pub in centre of village. Friendly and quick service. Green King pub

Good food, service was quick. Good amount on the roast chicken dinner, Yorkshire Pudding was a good size and crispy, good slice of stuffing. The steak pie filling was ok with no fat on the meat.

this is a great place to go for lunch so much verity of food and lots of places to sit. The food and the service was really good we was served by sue

Lovely food, helpful and friendly staff

I have eaten here many times before but only with a couple of friends, my family celebrated my Dads birthday here today, 14 of us to cater for (adults and children). Booked the table 2 weeks ago. Menu has plenty of options including the sunday roasts, both main and dessert tasted amazing, everyone impressed. Service was great despite being a big group and the pub being extremely busy. The kids played in the outdoor play area as the weather was lovely today. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon. Keep up the good work!!

Food was lovely, katsu curry was best Ive had, our waitress Emily was very helpful and nice, would definitely go again in near future.

Lovely pub, good sized car park, good value for money.

The food was delicious and cooked perfectly, Alex was very helpful with making sure that we were happy with everything as were other staff who served us.

Very friendly service and great food. Would recommend the beef and ale pie!

Lovely lunch and great service from Sue

Fab lunch with friends. Food was great, waitress was lovely. Will definitely go again

Visited the bell with some family, and had a lovely Mixed Grill from the wonderful chefs Danielle and Tracey. Portion size was more than sufficient. Cooked to perfection! Can’t wait to make the next trip!

Thank you Sue and all the staff ,they make us welcome every week

Visited on Saturday afternoon with our dogs. parking was simple! We were made feel very welcome by Sue who was very attentive and efficient. Food was cooked exactly as ordered and delivered quickly. Thank you so much Sue! We’ll be back!

Today we were served by Ben & Jordan. Can’t say anything else but thank you. He was attentive, professional and managed many tables without keeping up waiting for food or drinks. All food came hot, we highly recommend the katsu curry, and the drinks were fabulous. We also recommend the strawberry woo woo and gin berry spritz. Atmosphere was lovely, it’s was the chilled relaxed evening we were looking for and as first nights at The Bell go, it won’t be our last. Thank you :)

Nice pub garden during Warmer months. Nice Green King gastro pub all in year round. Play area for kids in garden, although this backs on to car park and the fencing could use some upkeep.

Booked a table with wheelchair access, when we arrived Sue was at the door helping us and then took us to a prepared table that covered all requirements, the food was superb as well as the atmosphere, we all really enjoyed our visit

We arrived earlier than our table was booked, but were welcomed and shown to the table which was reserved for us. However the young man gave us the choice to sit at a much cosier table, which we did. After the young man explained told us that someone would come over to take our drinks order. We waited quite a while before a very pleasant young lady asked if anyone had been over to us. She then took our drinks and food order. I had put on the booking that it was my husband’s birthday, the waitress wished him happy birthday and hoped that he would enjoy his birthday lunch. Sadly the meal which my husband chose, was unavailable 😔 After making another choice we didn’t have long to wait before our starters came out, both were very nice. Camembert for me, chicken Strips for hubby. Our mains followed in good time and were both enjoyable, nothing fancy, but tasty. Risotto and hunters chicken. The waitress, sorry didn’t get her name, was very friendly and made time to chat with us, it makes all the difference when staff are friendly. A mini dessert with coffee for me and for hubby, completed our lunch. Just the right size for the mini cheesecake, which was lovely. We would visit the Bell again if in the area

Visited Tuesday evening with a friend. Jordan was verh attentative, exceptional chstomer service! Food was lovely - will definitely be returning in the future.

Booked here from a recommendation and I was not disappointed, ordered lamb shank with mash and veg, also steak with chips and onion rings. Food was fab lamb fell off the bone and the steak cooked to perfection and both had lots of flavour, the young girl serving was lovely with a happy ‘nothings the bother’ attitude and a smile, if your down that way give it a visit you will not be disappointed.

Always warm welcome as you as you walk in , efficient bar staff that exactly know who is the next customer to be served, when we orders our food via the app everything was great and tasty and arrived within a reasonable time considering it was very busy

We had Sunday Roast which was lovely, nice to have sliced meat on your plate rather than meat with bones that a lot of restaurants now offer. The service was great and Sue was very pleasant and welcoming. Will come again and would recommend.

A group of us from Maidstone Ramblers had an enjoyable lunch after our walk. A comfortable large pub restaurant with great value food. Friendly efficient service from Sue. I recommend the steal and ale pie. Delicious !

My husband and I had Sunday lunch to celebrate our wedding blessing that had just taken place. Our waitress Sue was friendly and attentive. The food was lovely.

Good hot meals, waiting time was good ,very good friendly service , Sue our server was very friendly and attentive. Wasn't too busy

First time been here since the refurbishment. Loved it. Good food, very good service from the waiting staff and good beer. Definitely going back.

Had a really tasty meal this evening. Jordan served us and was very friendly/polite. 10/10 meal and great atmosphere in the pub. Also great 🍸

Friendly, attentive staff and lovely food which was reasonably priced.

Had a starter and main course which was very good. Clean toilets and nice decor. Sue our waitress was excellent. She was very attentive, helpful and served us with a smile.

Really friendly atmosphere, staff exceptional and excellent with a really good customer focused attitude. Seriously well done. A returning customer for good reasons. Well done !!

We had a lovely experience at The Bell for Christmas day lunch the staff were all very friendly and efficient, big shout out to our main server Sue of whom was spot on. The food was good, atmosphere and decor all great. Thank you to all the team at The Bell for a very pleasurable experience would highly recommend.

Christmas Day meal superb food amazing staff happy freindly professional especially sue who went above & beyond for us

We have just come home following Christmas dinner at the Bell and we are all very impressed with the Bell. We were a group of 6 adults and 2 children and we were exceptionally well looked after. The food was absolutely beautiful with very nice sized portions, nothing was left on the plate. The staff were superb and we were extremely well looked after by Ben. Can't recommend the Bell enough and we will definitely be returning in the new year! Happy Christmas all!!!

We come here regularly and have to say we have never been disappointed.

Visited here recently for an evening meal with friends. Our starters were all OK, but very small portions. For mains, 3 of us had food that had to be freshly cooked (fish and chips etc) but I went for the chicken and ham hock pie with mash and veg. Everyone else enjoyed their food, my pie was awful! It had clearly just been microwaved, the pastry was so solid I struggled to cut it, the veggies were bland and overcooked and the mash was clearly instant mash, with a horrid grainy texture. I couldn't taste much ham and certainly didn't get any mustard flavour. I appreciate for the prices charged you're never going to get amazing food, but it was very disappointing. I also would have hoped for a question from the waiter as I left a good half of my meal, but it was cleared away with no comment. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was OK, but we certainly wouldn't hurry back. Oh, and also, the carpark had no lighting so it was really difficult to see where we were going!

Great food fast service even though extremely busy with the Christmas rush. Will certainly return in the new year when less busy.

8 of us visited for a family pre-Christmas meal. The pub felt very cold, we told a staff member who said she would turn thermostat up. There was no visible source of heating in area we sat in. Only 2 radiators we noticed were in corridor outside the toilets both of which were stone cold. We felt uncomfortably cold throughout our visit even when wearing a 2 layers on our upper body. Whilst I appreciate the pub was busy we thought that the wait for food (which had been pre-ordered) was extremely slow. The chips on 2 of the meals were cold, along with the steak on one of the meals - all were replaced when this was brought to the attention of staff. We weren't asked if we required any sauces - cranberry sauce was provided once we requested it. Overall we were disappointed by our visit.

Great food as always no complaints.

Friendly staff..great service...great good and very reasonable prices...good atmosphere...clean and catered for children with allergies

Always a pleasure to come here. Great food, heated area outside and lite up beautifully. Quite a romantic feel too. Staff very welcoming and take time to help too. Love this establishment 🥰

£12 per head buffet for 15 people easily fed 20. Very good choice of varied cold food.

Great village feel. We both had roast turkey meal from their Sunday menu. Amazing food! Turkey was plentiful and so soft and moist. Loads of veg too. Including cauliflower cheese, carrots, parsnips, peas, roast potatoes, stuffing, homemade Yorkshire, gravy boat. Amazing value for money. We didn't book either. Turned up at 3ish. We was looked after at our table by Sue who was very friendly and welcoming. Service charge is not included on the bill and when paying via the card machine, there is no prompt to leave a tip. As the experience was so good, I had to ask how to leave a tip via the car payment machine. Sue then adjusted the payment display to allow me to leave her a tip. I've never had that before. I highly recommend this restaurant from my experience. Thanks Sue and all the staff.

Really good, plenty of space. We go with family when visiting from Chester. Food very nice.

Jordan and Ben were attentive, professional and it was a very warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was lovely and well worth every penny. We will definitely be returning. We all had a lovely family meal , thank you gents, you do an amazing job .

Thank you all for a great night from all 18 of us! Great food great service great staff!! We've had a lovely time 😊

Lovely atmosphere and great value for money. Friendly staff, especially Jordan who was so helpful and told us about upcoming events, we will definitely be back for some of them.

We booked at short notice. Very nice place for a meal. Our server Ben was very attentive and friendly. We’ll be back for sure.

Not too busy when we e visited at lunch time, Guinness was spot on , food good value for money & staff very friendly & helpful definitely will use again

Great pub, great food. The staff is friendly and nice.

Lovely lunch. Friendly, helpful staff

Nice food as always, nice cold drinks, staff are lovely. Was a nice evening, a nice place to catch up with family and friends. Recommend

Served today by Sue Very caring and friendly. Asked if our meals were ok. Had the roast. Food was lovely. Clearly loves her job.

Came for a quick pity stop but managed to get a table with waitress service. Sue was attentive, polite and friendly!! Thank you Sue ☺️

Great pub and Great food staff are friendly well worth a visit 😀 👍 👌

Nice staff but not enough of them. Tables often sticky.. Dog friendly a big plus. Food can be hit or miss, I think depending on how busy they are. Have had a lovely meal but also cremated scampi but will go back.

Great had a gluten free menu for one of the party so always a plus

Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere d super friendly staff. We will definitely be going back. Worth every penny.

We had a fabulous meal at The Bell. The food was delicious and the service was attentive without being intrusive. We had 2 dogs with us and a baby which made serving our table a challenge and we're a rowdy lot so the patience exercised by the serving staff when working out who had ordered what was greatly appreciated. We genuinely had such a lovely experience and it was made so by the fantastic staff.

We visited on a Tuesday lunchtime to celebrate a family birthday. It was relatively quiet during our lunch but our food was really very good and excellent value for money. We had excellent service from Natalie which made it a very enjoyable lunch.

Lovely food and very nice service

Met a friend after collecting a cake for daughters 18th Chloe who looked after us was very attentive Polite friendly cheerful she is a credit to the pub.She was helpful but not in a robotic manner Food was good especially the sharing platter Decent beers and burgers we had were well cooked

I'm just going on the food that I ordered here, which was meant to be the onion soup but I would have said was onion gravy which I could not eat. But friends that I was with were very happy with what they ordered. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was great. A lovely afternoon lunch

Great little pub serving very good food and a wide selection of beers and ciders. Very nice place 👌🏽

Lovely food at the Bell. Staff very friendly,

Pleasant pub, nice food, friendly staff

Great food great service great atmosphere

Where there for a big family meal celebrating two birthdays and was most dissatisfied by the service. The service was extremely slow even though the pub was quiet. They made errors with drink orders and spilt food and cutlery down one of our guests. The girl apologised but a top got ruined with ketchup and no management apologies offered. Lack of personal service. The food was basic with a limited menu but tasty. The atmosphere and outside area are fantastic although the outside play area could do with a revamp. Personally won't be going again

I came in the other day for a drink with some friends and was served by Milly, who was a very polite and friendly bar staff, and made us feel welcome.

Much improved food. Some of the outside tables are really very loose and dodgy.
