The Curious Eatery in Maidstone - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely love the Curious Eatery the food is always amazing and the staff are extremely friendly. Husband and I enjoyed several of the starters between us and everything was cooked to perfection and the flavours were amazing. Will be returning soon and would highly recommend

The staff are so attentive when ever we visit, the food is to die for along with a great selection drinks. We love coming here

What a lovely surprise! We booked quite late for a table of 6 for a friends birthday and had a fabulous time. The food is delicious and most things can be adjusted to be GF which is fantastic. The brewskies flowed and we had a great night, facilitated by a friendly and helpful hospitality team. Well done to a local gem for making my friends birthday a memorable one.

Took advantage of their takeaway friday fish and chips, booked online with time slots at 20 minute intervals, received confirmation with a precise collection time. Arrived at said time just as they were finishing packing the meals. Beautiful fish cooked to perfection in a crisp batter with a hint of fennel, bountiful chips and some tasty mushy peas, couldn't have been better.

A hidden local delight. Love it here! So much choice for someone who is veggie/vegan and caters for gluten free. Thoughtful dishes - fab pizza, friendly staff who clearly make an effort to go above and beyond to give genuinely lovely customer service.

Came on a date with my other half Covid precautions were in place perfectly The food was absolutely 5* and the service too Also, not overpriced!

Pro's: I have never had a roast chicken quite like the one here, perfect.Area to improve: Make it more obvious on the website which days/times the menu's are available. Did not expect to not be able to have the standard lunch menu at Sunday lunchtime and only the roast menu.

Lovely meal at this characterful independent eatery. Exemplary service from attentive staff. Quirky decor of this former pub is a nice change from by-the-numbers efforts of chain (and even some independent) restaurants. Asked the waitress about additional vegan choices and three of us ended up eating a special that the chef offered: battered chard, with apple sauce. Absolutely delicious. For desert two of us shared a vegan cheese board that exceeded all expectations with a really outstandingly tasting selection of vegan cheeses. What a lovely meal out. Thoroughly recommend this excellent eatery.

Haven’t been for a long time , but so glad we came .! The menu was varied & interesting, we enjoyed the ragu & salmon both excellent & shared a delicious bread & butter pudding. Good efficient staff . Worth a visit. .

Another visit for an evening meal. Friendly staff, great service and amazing food. Starters extremely tasty. Mains, Salmon was beautifully cooked and the pea mint and cream sauce was superb, pizza was delicious and puddings finished the meal of brilliantly. Will be back again soon Thank you :)

Finally got around to visiting. What a treat! A warm welcome, brilliant service and wonderful food, all within walking distance. The pizzas are superb. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Been here a few times First time since pizza oven what a great idea Truly authentic pizza Menu very varried Wine list ticks the box Service first class

Very helpful accommodating friendly staff and lovely food. Nice to see an open kitchen watching them work. Quirky pleasant decor and a lovely chilled atmosphere. The burgers rhubarb fool and bread and butter pudding was amazing. The rhubarb was cooked with a slight bite to it, I’ve never had it like that before, it’s always been soft and mushy. I loved that you could watch the chef cook. Definitely come back and recommend a visit. Thanks guys

I had been promising myself a visit here for some time and we dropped in at short notice and quite rushed. Between us we had a Manwhich and a Beef Roti. Despite them being very busy our service was prompt and very friendly. The food was excellent, the Manwhich comprised roast beef, topped with a prefectly fried egg and the Beef Roti was suculent anf flavoursome. We will deffinatey return when we have more time and I would be happy to take any guest on another occasion.

Definitely need to book if you want to go here. Amazing food and good variety off beverages. Lovely place

Stopped in for coffee and shared a sausage roll - it was delicious we will definitely be popping in again. Staff friendly and there is a nice ambience about the place. Not the cheapest but good quality.

Had a really lovely meal here. the service was excellent and a nice environment it’s worth checking out.

I have been told about this resturant and at last i went there last night Saturday well this is a hidden gem the menus was diffrent and the food was excellent will definitely be going back very soon great staff well done

We both had 3 courses, drinks and coffees with the bill coming to 80 which seemed more than reasonable for the high end finish. Something for everyone and watching the kitchen is true theatre (table 3!).

Nicole and her wonderful team catered our wedding party. The food was out of this world. Everything was delicious and moreish. The quinoa salad with chicken was perfect and the beef shin with cheesy mash was amazing. Spicy chickpea casserole was so good that I’ve frozen some leftovers to enjoy again! Dessert canapés were mini blackberry pavlovas which melted in the mouth, passion fruit cheesecake and soft and sweet carrot and ginger cake. We could not have asked for better. Can’t wait for our next trip to the restaurant. Thank you Nicole x

I walked in to this beautiful well established restaurant for the first time, and immediately i was overwelmed by the warm welcome i received from the management and staff.I was not the only one ,every customer who walked in during my stay received the same warm friendly greetings.The seating areas with table and chairs are basic with no pretence what so ever. The art is the quality of food served , and its presentation. The food served was outstanding from the starters to the Main course all chosen from the extensive menue, Everything ordered was cooked with love and attention.The open lively harmonous kitchen which i could see from my table told me everything about this unique place.The place has other hidden gems upstairs, with a dining area,and a boardroom conference area, also a chic fashion clothing/gift boutique.Attached to the building is a sizeable garden area for warm sunny summer days.i recommend The Curious Eatery for anybody who would like to enjoy a dining experiance which is second to none..

Been here twice once for pie night and then breakfast Great food attentive service Reasonable pricing

The food was much more than you would expect from a village pub, slightly quirky choices, delicious and generous portions. Lovely atmosphere, would thoroughly recommend.

Friends were recommending this restaurant for some time and we finally managed to the time to get there for a Sunday lunch "experience". Experience in so far that whilst the menu appeared somewhat restricted and unusual, at least for my personal taste, the food supplied was outstanding, well presented and absolutely delicious. Having seen the size of portions on other tables, we decided to give a the starters a miss and homed in on the pork roast followed by some tasty ice deserts. Yes, the food was sumptuous, the atmosphere was most enjoyable and the friendly staff needs to be congratulated for their efforts too. No doubts we shall be coming back!

We visited due to high ratings on Trip Advisor and had a very pleasant lunch. The menu shown on the website for lunch looks quite limited but then we were handed a long list of daily specials. There were some interesting choices and everything is home made. The portions were very good - excellent chicken terrine and plenty of prawns freshly cooked in a wrap. Good choice for vegetarians - tasty Moroccan dish was good. Good service and a few parking spaces to the side of the pub. Nice people running it and cooking.

The food never disappoints at The Curious Eatery!! Gorgeous dinner, lovely atmosphere and fantastic staff!

Visited the curious eatery back in early August. What a find! Have tried loads of these gastro places out in Kent over the last couple of years but have to say this is the best yet. Home grown food, friendly staff good beer and a boutique upstairs where my wife bought some bits.

We have visited here a few times and it never disappoints. The staff are friendly and offer great service. The food is divine. Hats off to the talented ladies in the kitchen. The quality of the food they produce is outstanding. It not only looks good but it tastes amazing- some very unique and ambitious dishes.

We have been here with family several times, and it never disappoints. Sunday lunch was excellent and a good price. The staff are friendly and efficient and they cater well for young children (our 10-month old was kept quiet for 30 minutes with a large Yorkshire pudding!) My husband raved about the Goat dish; others of us had an excellent Sunday roast beef. Service is perhaps a little slow but we were a party of nine and it was a busy Sunday lunchtime - if you are out for a social occasion it gives you a chance to chat over a drink!

Popped in for lunch after finding on tripadvisor. The best thing we could have done fantastic food lovely staff will definitely go again.

My partner booked us a table as a Sunday treat, as he had heard some good things about the place.

Good food and good service. Reasonable prices and a good selection of drink and food. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that I had to wait 15 minutes for my desert after everyone else had theirs due to it not being put through the system.

Quite simply the best dining experience I've enjoyed 2019. There is so much passion evident that it's truly a pleasure to experience the high quality food and super friendly atmosphere. 10/10

My wife and I went here for her birthday, as I'd found it via here a few months back and wanted to surprise her, with the food on offer, as she does love to try well presented and cooked food.

Really enjoyed eating here, small but beautifully shabby chic interior that was really appealing. Small but different menu, all beautifully prepared and fresh. Only open at weekends in the evening. Staff were lovely and added to the relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

My partner and I booked Sunday lunch as a last minute on line booking.

We set out with great expectations but left very disappointed, we paid £19 per person for a charity buffet experience and while the quality of the food was good the quantity was insufficient for a table of 6, considering only £4 of the cost went to charity £15 for what i was served up was a rip off. I then paid extra for another taster main. Sadly all very disappointing.

On the outside, it’s an old pub called The Albion. On the inside, it’s been turned into a very light and pretty restaurant - all wood, mismatchy tables etc, but without being twee. Upstairs is a beautiful room for weddings or parties and also a small private dining room.

Excellent dinner, I had the red snapper special which snapped my mouth wide open in awe of this wonderful.combination of carefully selected flavours. Only downside was my party failed to receive their wine for at least 20 minutes on what was a VERY busy night despite multiple requests, curious. My recommendation; get the beer haha haha, peace advisors xxxx

Had a celebratory birthday lunch, we booked upstairs which was perfect. Very stylish and service was great. Food was good and a good time was had by us all.

Went for a casual lunch visit , service lovely , nice atmosphere and delicious simple food done well with a twist . You deserve to succeed and live up to all the good things that people have said . We will be back

Lovely ambience, with understated and eclectic decor and furnishings. Food was fabulous and staff very attentive and helpful. Thoroughly recommend.

My wife and I had a lovely evening meal at this restaurant. I chose the Goat Ragu, which was amazing, the meat was so tender, and the flavors were outstanding. My Wife ordered the Lasagna, this was on an equal footing to my dish, with flavors that you could savoir and really enjoy every mouthful. The staff were very attentive and genuinely friendly. The setting was comfortable and casual. Top marks to the Curious Eatery, going to be hard to equal around these parts.

Fantastic food in a beautiful setting. This place is a wonderful little find and so friendly. Will be returning soon x

The food is fantastic here and everyone who serves you knows what they are doing plus they are so nice. Will be going back regularly. Give yourself a treat and book a table now!!

My husband and I visited for lunch today, and although we live locally it was our first visit.

So, on our way for a night out at Frasers in the heart of rural Kent. We wanted to find somewhere for a light lunch en route and we were blown away. Great find. Service friendly but not overbearing, nothing a problem (asked for fresh mint tea with honey which was not on menu but they gladly provided). food delicious, great size portions. And the bonus was a cheeky little ladies boutique upstairs for some post lunch retail therapy - whats not to love!

This is the third time we have eaten here, each time excellent. It’s a little restaurant hidden away in tiny Kent village and so popular with locals. We came down from London to see friends that live in the village and ate here. The service was so friendly, charming and upbeat. The menu and specials had such a varied choice without being overwhelming. They support the local Gin distilleries instead of the popular well known generic ones. And as for the loo, they support a loo paper charity which was brilliant.

Went to lunch last week. Set within the old pub the dining area is cosy and inviting. The lunch menu was quite small but this was compensated by the food served. Not enormous portions but nicely presented and cooked to perfection. Cannot wait to return.

Original dishes done really well, familiar dishes done really well - have so enjoyed everything I've eaten here. Would even say it's the best food I've eaten in Kent outside the Sportsman and definitely the best by a looooong way that I've eaten in the Maidstone area.

I went with 3 friends to lunch on Tuesday and on Friday the same week I took my daughter. The food and service was very good on both occasions. We all enjoyed looking at the boutique upstairs with the charming lady who owns it and we bought a few things.

You will leave extremely well fed, very happy with the lovely atmosphere & greatly impressed with the amazing quality of service. Simply the kind of place you wish you had on your door step. Fantastic!

We had been waiting a long time for our evening at the Curious Eatery and we were not disappointed.

Visited Thursday. Saw the next day's offering being prepared. Rib of beef. Cooked at 60% for 12 hours. Mmmm Mmm. Had to try that. We were not disappointed. The staff are all charming and work as a team. A truly enjoyable experience. Well done.

Table for 4 and we were seated upstairs which is sometimes reserved for private functions, which I imagine it's perfect for, however as there were only 2/3 tables laid this particular evening it did lack ambience and service did seem a bit delayed. On a positive note, it has some different menu options to those offered elsewhere. We had scotch egg, calamari and the beetroot starters which were all lovely but maybe could have been a bit more generous, especially the calamari. For mains, the chicken parmigiana dish was huge but needed some veg in place of the spaghetti, the roasted cauliflower steak didn't appeal to me even as a vegetarian and the red snapper with rice was really disappointing, the fish was nice and well cooked but the rice was tasteless and for some reason was served with three huge carrot chunks. We passed on the puddings. There is only a small car park although we managed to find space on the road opposite.

We booked upstairs to have a baby shower. The afternoon tea was fab and the service was fantastic. The room is very pretty too! And great hand cream in the toilets!!

Came here with my daughter,have been before but not for Sunday lunch. We chose roast beef. Absolutely delicious; plenty of perfectly coooked beef,roast potatoes,huge Yorkshire,carrots and cauliflower cheese. Beautifully presented and quick service. Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Delicious salted caramel pudding similar to a sticky toffee pudding served with vanilla ice cream. Such a lovely lunch and boutique upstairs. Thoroughly recommend it.

Another enjoyable trip to the Curious Eatery. The staff are always very welcoming and the food is excellent. Love the little boutique upstairs too.

Visited on a recent Saturday. Booking for 19.30. Disappointed on arrival to be told that many of the main courses were no longer available. My choice, and my partner's, were nicely cooked and presented, but the service was dreadful. Very long wait and clearly insufficient staff allocated to the upstairs restaurant. While we waited, my partner ordered a glass of white wine. It arrived some 10 minutes after we had finished our main course. We both ordered desserts and I ordered a coffee. The coffee arrived well before the desserts. We waited some 25 minutes. Both desserts had been placed in a microwave. The plates were dangerously hot - little thought had gone into the preparation. This is not a cheap restaurant. They had quite obviously poorly ordered their own supplies and, despite their high prices, do not employ sufficient waiting staff. I genuinely felt sorry for the woman serving our table; she did nothing but aplogise for the delays. I will not rushing back to this rather pretentious venue, though I will give credit for the quality of the main course, when it actually arrived. Other guests were waiting long periods to be served..

Had a great fun night here last night. The starter was a nice cheese salad. The set feasting menu with dishes for each table to share, just like at home was really good. There was an impressive joint of beef and duck and some lovely unusual vegetables. i am vegetarian and my squash stuffed pastry bomb was tasty and different, it went well with all the vegetables and it was all delicious. The desert was well liked although it was a little too sweet for me, being a very sticky baked alaska.

Everything was perfect. Staff - warm and friendly. Food - fresh and absolutely delicious. Interior - beautifully decorated. 10/10, couldn't fault a single thing, (and that's not the gin and marmalade cocktail talking!). In the words of Arnie S.... I'll be back!

Just wanted to share our amazing experience at The Curious Eatery. We have visited on many occasions and this tops them all. The food was out of this world along with the amazing service. If you have not visited yet, please do so you will not be disappointed.

I had lunch here with friends. The menu is varied, interesting and covers all tastes. We chose the beef and dumplings, which our waitress recommended, and it was wonderful! So was the dessert. Service was excellent. As an added bonus, there is a boutique upstairs which offers interesting clothes and jewellery, all quite reasonably priced.

First visit to Curious Eatery today taken by my lovely friend for lunch - food amazing - friendly staff - prawn wrap and chunky chips yum yum - would highly recommend this place - lovely little boutique upstairs worth a visit

Absolutely love this place, food amazing, staff fabulous, atmosphere cuddly, warm. Highly recommend lunch and diner. Great chef's.

Have visited this restaurant twice recently with my family. Late October we came for a Sunday lunch. The beef and chicken were delicious with all the homemade trimmings with a twist. Rude not to try their lovely ice cream for dessert so we did! Early November we had a lunch and I picked succulent ham, egg and chips. What an excellent choice - eleven out of ten! Well Done. You won’t be disappointed., Simon.

I took my family here to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday. They were clearly busy but the service was appallingly slow. After two hours we were still sitting with dirty dinner plates in front of us waiting for them to be cleared. This wouldn't be so bad but we only had three starters and my fish was completely raw in the middle and had to be sent back. In fairness, the chef personally came and apologised and offered a free dessert and said she would get someone to come and clear the plates. Fifteen minutes later nobody had arrived so we gave up and left.

Lovely evening with friends, lovely ambiance, amazing food, nice to have Chapel Down wine from Kent. All the staff were friendly & knowledgeable. Would recommend the squid, hake, sirloin steak with mac & cheese and the duck. Have booked to go again in a few weeks!

My American friend and I went walking and found this little gem. She had the burger and delared it to be the best she had ever had, which coming from someone from the home of the burger is praise indeed! We were back a couple of days later when I had a burger too, we both had lovely cakes and then rolled back home down the hill. We loved the decor of the whole place, with the mismatched chairs and the staff were friendly, we also liked the way that the menu wasn't large but everything we had or saw coming from the kitchen was really good, tasty and well presented. We would certainly go back again if we were in the area.

First time visiting "The Curious Eatery" yesterday having read many good reviews we took the trouble to drive 25miles from Bexley.... the trip did not disappoint!

Attended a secret supper, enjoyed the evening, setting was amazing, food was good, thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected entertainment, although the 2nd part of entertainment was spoilt by a few drunk people that had been pulled up to play instruments.

The most amazing setting with a small but perfect menu. The Curious Eatery is a hidden gem with open kitchen, local sourced produce and tentative staff who all seem to love working at this restaurant. The food we had was excellent; squid, pigs head, beef rib and fish, all presented with loving care by the chef's. Good selection of local gin and beers coupled with excellent food, venue and staff warrants 5 out of 5. Thank you for hosting our birthday party, memories will last forever and we will definitely return.

I had eaten here before on a Sunday and was impressed with the food and service so invited friends to join us for lunch on a Friday. They both like fish and vegetarian dishes so expected a reasonable choice but there was not a lot to choose from which surprised me as it was Friday and thought there would have been a fish dish on the menu. They eventually chose a deep fried risotto and a prawn wrap. My husband also had prawn wrap and I had bubble and squeak. They were all a bit underwhelming but I thought a nice sweet would make up for it. But no they do not do desserts only cake!

We had lunch here yesterday and what a lovely place. The food was imaginative, seasonal and delicious. There was a really good choice for meat eaters and vegetarians alike- and for once - as a veggie- I was spoilt for choice. Such a treat.

My husband and I had a lovely meal here on a Saturday evening. We had baked Camembert with roasted fig and French toast, African lamb ragu and a beautiful seafood dish. Everything had loads of flavour and was presented beautifully. Portion sizes were perfect and very reasonably priced for such fresh delicious food. The atmosphere was vintage chic and refreshingly different, service was efficient and cheerful. If I lived in the country I would be there every week for the changing specials!

I ate here with my friend last night and had a delicious meal. Seasonal dishes cooked beautifully, we could see into the kitchen from where we sat which is always a nice touch. Staff were friendly and attentive but over bearing. The atmosphere is intimate and cosy but not stuffy. Really worth a visit.

This place is a bit confusing to find. I found the place on google and put it in my sat nav, but the building looks like a pub outside and is called 'The Albion'. There wasn't a sign for 'the curious eatery' anywhere. We almost didn't go in because we thought we were at the wrong place. We had just popped in for a light lunch on Sunday. It's definitely not good for that as they didn't have any light meals or snack options. You could only order starters, Sunday lunch main and desserts. However we decided to stay and just have a larger meal than planned. The chefs are South African so there are lots of meals with South African aspects to them which is really interesting. My partner had the roast and I have to say this wasn't amazing. But then I never think eating a roast out is worth it. However I had a really nice starter and dessert. I definitely want to go back to try some South African dishes. The place is pricey but at least they are offering something unique. As they cook everything fresh they can cater for gluten free.

Delicious lunch catering for meat eaters, vegetarians, gluten free and dairy free guests. Nothing was too much trouble from the wonderfully friendly and helpful staff and the food was really excellent. Everyone was very impressed both with venue and the food.

Mixed feelings with this restaurant. The staff were lovely and the decor certainly different. The lunch wasn’t hot enough for me but I’m one of those people that serves food on a super heated plates. The portion was fine for me but I can imagine that it may not be enough for those with bigger appetites. Personally I think that it was rather overpriced for the portion size. I love my vegetables under cooked but I must admit that I couldn’t cut my cauliflower very easily.

Myself and a friend booked a table here on Friday night. Both our starters and main meals were delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed them both. A great place with lovely staff. We look forward to returning very soon.

Had a lunch here with a friend who had recommended it. Very disappointing from the outside and I thought we had dropped a clanger.....BUT WAIT....from the inside it all looks so very different and rather good. A lovely welcome from Emma our waitress who was most attentive and looked after me whilst I waited for my friend. Drinks were served from behind the bar by a stunningly beautiful lady who knew her FeverTree mixers very well! Food excellent in an unfussy way but definitely of the highest order and all for just £20 per head. Think I just found a favourite pub. There is a clothes boutique upstairs too if you fancy a browse.

My wife and I came here for a Thursday lunch. Her Vegan Flatbread with assorted salads and veg had her name written all over it, and my "calamari burger" with homemade tartare sauce, chips and cole slaw was spot on. We are lucky to have this excellent restaurant within walking distance of home!

Been meaning to go for a while. Decided on lunch break. There were about 6 choices and with one other table of 4 one of the options wasn't available.

Three of us had a another delicious lunch here today where they were specialising on barbecue food. Two of us had a mixed meat platter and one had fish. They were all served with a variety of salads. This restaurant is always changing its menu, which makes it always worth a visit. The staff are always cheerful and helpful. The new outside garden adds to its appeal.

This little gem is located in The Albion Inn in Boughton Monchelsea. The open kitchen is a hive of activity and the food was absolutely fantastic - the staff were also very attentive. Will definitely visit again.

I popped into the curious eatery on Saturday having moved to the village and was recommended to go for the gluten free cake. I took my cake home but The place is stunning, staff are friendly and the cake was to die for! The menu looks fab and I will definitely be back soon for a meal.

Took my husband here yesterday for lunch having been a couple of times with friends. I had roast beef which was probably the best roast I have eaten out in a pub. My husband had Goat Ragu which he really enjoyed. Deserts were to die for. The menu has a good variety of the every day and something a bit different. The staff are attentive but not in your face, friendly and come across as genuinely enjoying their job. Keep up the good work. We will be back!

Visited for lunch today with my wife as we had been given a voucher given as a gift. We had no expectations of what the food would be like, but were hugely impressed! We had squid as a starter, and then I had one of the juiciest burgers Ive ever had as well as superb chips and coleslaw. We would definitely visit again given the opportunity and would highly recommend it to others.

Lovely quirky little restaurant. Super food - can especially recommend the squid!

My wife has been here a number of times for breakfast and always raves about the food. I was fortunate enough to be taken here for a surprise lunch on my birthday by my wife and our two children; what a wonderful lunch!!

Have dined there many times, each time hoping it will be better than the last - sadly not. Overpriced and over-hyped, I'm sorry to say. When one is used to fine dining, this is akin to school dinners. On the plus side, the staff are rather nice. We hardly go at all now, preferring the rather better places nearby.

My friends and I visited The Curious Eatery for the first time last night. We had very high expectations as we’d heard the food and service were outstanding. We arrived and sat upstairs, it was a lovely atmosphere and we were served very quickly. The menu was extremely limited at the time we arrived - 8.15pm which was disappointing although we were advised that everything is fresh and items go quickly. The waitress explained there was a beef Wellington left which I ordered. Starters arrived, which were lovely. Mains arrived and the beef Wellington was cold. The manager came up to apologise and said by cooking it more it would be more well done. I said that’s fine as I didn’t want to eat it cold. By the time it came back my friends had almost finished and I ate alone. Due to the error I thought it fair to consider a discount. When paying the bill I was offered 10% off my main, a £24 beef Wellington with £2.40 off. I explained I felt this unfair. When I challenged this I was told beef Wellington comes medium rare. I explained this wasn’t the issue and that I was served a cold dinner. It was a very frosty and uncomfortable end to what otherwise was a pleasant evening. I was given my meal free but under duress and I didn’t walk away satisfied with my overall experience. The rest of the food was lovely and the waitresses very nice. A real shame.

Stopped by on a Friday night without a reservation and happily sat outside in their courtyard. The restaurant has a limited menu, just four starters, four mains, and four desserts, but as a result is able to perfect all of them. Our fried squid and tian of crab starters were sublime, and my wife's guinea fowl and veg was a serious plate of food. My fish and chips were done to perfiction, with big chunky home made chips well crisped up.

Popped in for lunch and was greeted straight away with a friendly staff.

Found the Curious Eatery when out on a walk but it was closed as on a Monday. Returned with my partner and had a brunch on a Saturday. I really enjoyed the feel of the place and the staff were friendly. The food was yummy...

Visited yesterday with my husband as we were on our way to Coxheath. We had already booked an evening meal there for next Saturday with our friends so we thought we would drop in for breakfast. We Really enjoyed it. The bacon was delicious. Very friendly greeting from thr proprietor and staff. Looking forward to our evening visit.

We popped in for coffee and teas last week and were very impressed. Lovely service and drinks in nicely decorated old pub. We'll be back.

My husband took our 6 month old daughter and I for Mothering Sunday, he booked online and specified we would require space for a pushchair, and also confirmed this on a separate email to them. When we arrived we was seated upstairs, which is totally impractical for a pushchair, the manager did offer to help carry it up instead we took our daughter out and she sat on my lap. The wine menu is limited as to what it offers by the glass as it did not cater to my taste, we had pre-ordered our 3 course meal and it came in good time, there was a slight delay between the starter and main course. Unfortunately my husband accidentally pre ordered me the wrong dessert and I was unable to change it, this disappointment was however more than made up for by the customer service we received, the chef popped up to see if there was anything else she could offer. The real star of day was the amazing roasted beef (even though mine did contain butchers string) it was cooked to perfection, the meat, potatoes and vegetables all very flavoursome. I'm hoping we was just a bit unlucky and wouldn't hesitate to return again, food and service is great.

My wife and I popped in last week in the middle of the snow crisis, the staff explained that due to problems with suppliers the menu choices were limited.

First time we visited this restaurant. Very friendly staff. Was greeted as we entered. We all choose roast dinners. They was beautifully presented and lots on the plates. The only comment I would make is we had a gluten free family member. Which we mention when we booked. Unfortunately they could not have cauliflower cheese or Yorkshire puddings. Which was disappointing as they state gluten friendly. So surely they could of cooked this gluten free.
