The Harrow Inn in Maidstone

Went here for Sunday Lunch with a party of 13 (mixed ages from 4 up to 80) Service was very good, waitress were very attentive and very professional, i liked the fact that they came around the table to serve you food and did not pass it over the table. Food was very good, the majority of us had the Sunday lunch, the food was hot, well presented and plentiful. Lots of fresh veg, we ordered extra roasties and yorkshires. Yorkshires were really lovely and light. The only thing i was disappointed with was the apple crumble, lots of apple but very little crumble. We all commented that we would visit again.

Wow what can I say, what an absolutely beautiful pub/resturant. The most friendly and accommodating staff/owners. Food was amazing, would well recommend and look forward to going back for future meals.

Most beautiful meal with my son. We had the nut roast. It was delicious. Nut roast was very tasty,roast potatoes,yorkshire pudding and fresh vegetables were lovely. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended. Will be back.

We popped in this establishment without booking for lunch. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and shown to a table. Very tasteful decor. Very clean and tidy a comprehensive menu catering for all tastes We both opted for the house special pie and mash. Much to our surprise the pie was homemade and absolutely delicious full of flavour and very tasty. The vegetables were hand cut and cooked perfectly all in all a very pleasant experience we will be visiting again.

First visit for a couple of years but will be going again soon. Excellent food and very pleasant staff. Will not leave so long before we return.

Lovely Sunday roast great atmosphere. We visited the Harrow inn a dog friendly gastro pub near Gillingham. Food was delicious, hot and plentiful. Many similar pubs should take note ( three crutches ) , this is how you serve and deliver on a Sunday roast. Portions were generous even down to the home made Yorkshire puddings. The regulars are charming folk and were very attentive to our dog Eddie. I even noticed hot food in the form of roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings being put on the bar gratis. Phil and Clare are clearly hosts that take care of their patrons. We will definitely be coming back Phil and Alex And Eddie

Haven't been to the Harrow for years and so glad we went today. Menu was varied, with plenty to suit all tastes. Both courses were exceptional, we had starters of chicken skewers and pork belly bites to share which were tasty and cooked excellently. Mains were a vegetarian boirgonoun (spell!) And a hunters chicken. Again, both amazing, well presented and the hunters chicken probably the best ever had. Service was spot on, the whole place was clean and homely, really couldn't fault it. We will definitely be returning soon. Many thanks.

I phoned on the off chance of lunch that day and was greeted with a positive reply. Arrived 15 minutes later to the warmest welcome we have ever received anywhere. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food which was delicious. The atmosphere was professional and nothing was too much trouble. It was a busy service but not rushed or with lengthy waiting times. I cannot praise the staff highly enough and will return very soon. Thank you for a lovely experience everyone.

We came here for Sunday roast for my mother in laws birthday. We throughly enjoyed our Roast dinners, and my children both had pizzas and they are cooked to perfection. We all had desserts, the apple crumble is my favourite, but I chose the cheesecake this time with ice-cream and it was lovely. The new restaurant looks lovely and cosy. The main bar is kept beautifully and the owners are very lovely people. Can’t wait to come back again for a Roast dinner. It finishes off the weekend brilliantly when I’m treated to a Sunday roast at The Harrow❤️. Will definitely be back and would recommend this lovely county pub to everyone.

A real gem of a family run country pub. Excellent food, served fresh to order. Beautiful interior. Attentive friendly staff. What's not to like? Will make this my local.

Lovely beer garden where you can eat outside if the weather is fine. Good selection of grub for a lunchtime. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Had lunch in the garden on a Wednesday. Lovely setting, staff really pleasant and great food. Will definitely come back

I had a baby shower thrown for me at the Harrow and the food was fresh and amazing! Didn’t have to wait to be served at the bar for drinks. The staff were friendly and were brilliant for the baby shower. I would recommend eating here. We have had dinner here previously and it was delicious 😊

We came here for Father’s Day lunch today. I chose this pub as they have a lot of vegan items available. The service was good, food was hot and fresh and reasonably priced. We will definitely return. Thank You!

Having booked in advance we could not understand a story there was one other table occupied that we had to wait over an hour for our food. The fish portion was very small and burger dry, staff were not very friendly couldn't be bothered. Should have complained but was with family will not be going back

This is a pretty little pub 10 minutes from my parents. It's well looked after and it feels classy inside. However, 5 of us went for Sunday dinner today, it wasn't a bad meal but it wasn't great. The meat is so thinly sliced it doesn't seem freshly roasted, when you are paying £14 / £15 and £17 for a Sunday dinner you definitely expect more and better quality meat. Everything on the plate seemed like it was cooked from frozen, it was a let down. Puddings weren't any better either, I'm not rude and like I said it wasn't a terrible meal so I'm not going to complain at the time. It has a lot of potential.

Lovely local pub, dog friendly . Ate in the bar and had good food and beer. Lovely couple running it. Great price as well 👍

Came here today for an early dinner with family, this is a lovely little country pub with a good selection of beers and wines and a small menu which caters for all tastes. All four of us had the garlic prawns on ciabatta to start, a really delicious and generous starter, then 3 of us had the sea bass with red pesto - again really tasty and well presented on ceramic high sided plates - my stepfather had liver and bacon and loved it - we all had puddings which were again well presented, light and sweet, washed down with copious amounts of Sauvignon blanc, lovely!!! 😊

I met up with my family here last week, my sister was having a special birthday. We were treated like royalty with a really great welcome, a lovely buffet and a really nice atmosphere. Thank you Clare for all your efforts!

We held our Dad’s Wake at the Harrow and they did a fantastic job! The pub is cosy, so really nice for a small function such as ours. The food was excellent and it was nice to have a separate area for refreshments. Clair couldn’t...

Good pub food ,freshly cooked with good service. Vegan food on offer, prices are fair and portions good. Would go again.

Fantastic food, service and location. Looking for somewhere to eat on the way home and found this place, not far off the M2, easy parking and food all day.

Once again a perfect Sunday roast! The food and drink was stunning! Always made to feel welcome and nothing was too much. Thanks again

Decided to try the Sunday lunch as it was recommended to me but unfortunately it was like a cafe roast! Meat and vegetables quality was not worth the price they charged! £18 for a trio of meat that was like it was out of a...

Just got back from dinner for two, Monday early evening. My fellow diner had pie of the day (steak and ale, although veggie available) with mash, veg and gravy and I had sea bass with a warm potato, red onion and asparagus salad and salsa...

We came here as a large group. Food was top quality cooked to perfection. I would definitely return and recommend to others , staff and owners where lovely ever so friendly.

First time visiting this pub, it has a lovely beer garden outside with pretty rural / field views. The food was really good and pudding was really exquisite. What impressed me most was that they were providing table service outside! I’ve not been to a...

This pub restaurant is usually very busy - for good reason. The food is very good, and the service also good. This is a good place to go both for special occasions and also for a spontaneous meal out.

We had spent the day out with family and wanted a nice Sunday roast, we didn't know where to go but this restaurant came up as it was close to us so we took a chance and went. I have to say it was one...

Nice and clean, friendly staff. Good choice on menu. Food excellent and well priced. Brilliant value for money. I had goats cheese and red onion chutney baguette, my friend had the mushroom and Stilton burger

Amazing service, they were extremely helpful on helping us have a lovely time with family for a birthday. Covid friendly. They are always so friendly, attentive and such a lovely pub to be in. 100% recommend.

Service was slow roast pork was so dry I had to leave it had to wait over 3 quarters of an hour between dishes I would'nt use it again

We ate in the restaurant side and it was lovely food, well cooked, perfect sized portions and piping hot at good prices. Nice little touches like warm bread with the soup. This was much better than your typical pub food and it looked like it...

5 people for lunch, everybody very happy. Staff efficient, helpful and friendly, every request was dealt with quickly. Food was excellent, all had Sunday roasts, nice big portions and the desserts are fantastic. Highly recommend a visit, we will be returning.

Welcomed by staff. Three of us visited at lunchtime, and the menu offered lunch time snacks and more substantial meals too, off the menu, also a “Specials” board. Food good, surroundings pleasant, easy parking. Will re-visit.

WOW, AMAZING Hi, Clair, Fiona and Laney. Thanks for squeezing us in today. Warm welcome. You will miss out on the great pub food if you don't visit. Sunday roast and Filet steak. Huge portions. Chef is brilliant x Well done everyone. Kerry and Cliff

Visited today, friendly staff good menu food lovely. Recommend to all. Hope to revisit in the very soon.

Excellent service and food - and not hugely expensive. Add a few cocktails and it would be perfect. The tempura prawns were a triumph and the fish 'n' chips was very good too. Mango sorbet was yummy.

Hello we all went for a birthday meal [wife and step daughter] staff were perfect the food great well done all and THANK YOU

Friendly staff but we were disappointed with the food (from the garden menu), especially after seeing so many positive reviews. Beef bap was tough and partially inedible while 'pulled' pork seemed to consist of meat pieces that had been finely cut and smoothered in an...

We had a great family lunch at the Harrow Inn. Really tasty food & brilliant service from Joyce. Dog and baby friendly which was brilliant 😀

Excellent service and very friendly owners and staff. The food was plentiful and we had the roast dinner with all meats - fantastic! Deserts were delicious - very full but managed to find room for the “it’s coming home baked Alaska” which was superb and...

Visited for Lunch with the family food was amazing portion sizes were extremely healthy and the service was outstanding, will definatly be going back.

Visited for lunch with my brother, food was delicious, portion sizes were big and very reasonably priced too. Would highly recommend :)

We booked late, on Father’s Day itself, in fact they phoned back and managed to find a spot for us!We were seated at a table in the adjacent overflow building. It was late afternoon and I think we were expecting to find tired staff and the signs of things winding down, but not a bit of it. They were friendly and welcoming, the table was ready for us with clean linen (no paper) and we sat straight down. From the special Father’s Day menu we chose the roast beef (twice), roast pork and the pan fried sea bass. ‘Topside’ was promised and superb, pink, succulent topside duly arrived. The pork was excellent and the sea bass (on new potatoes and asparagus) was very good indeed. Even though it was late in the day, there were no shortcuts with this food, it was quite clear we were being served food every bit as good as the first dishes to leave the kitchen. To get this quality of food, with such friendly service after a long and tiring afternoon speaks volumes for everyone involved. We ate very well and this is the best value for money for a pub Sunday lunch that I can remember in years!Thank you everyone at The Harrow

Went to The Harrow Inn this week for lunch in the garden and was not disappointed. The food was all cooked lovely and staff as always attentive,polite pleasure to eat there

Lovely food (simple lunch menu but tasty and reasonably priced) and drink in a lovely garden. Staff were nice and a great location

I went with a friend for lunch and I had calves liver, dauphinois potatoes and green beans with a jus. It was all served piping hot and was very tasty the only negative was that the jus wast a little bit salty. My friend had ham, pineapple, chips and egg and she found it all excellent. For dessert I had the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream which was delicious. I wouldn’t hesitate to go again and try something else on the menu as there is a lot of choice.

100% perfect in every way, warm friendly staff, the food mouthwateringly delicious and such a welcome visit after having not been out for a good English pub lunch for over a year. Well organised. I had the mixed meat roast, it was a very generous portion that sadly as much as I was enjoying it, I had to leave some as I’m not a big eater. My husband had the steak & ale, mushroom pie. It looked lush and hubby said it tasted as good as it looked. Credit to the chefs. We will definitely be going back. Well done everyone at The Harrow Inn.

Thank you Claire & Team , excellent service, very friendly staff . And a big thank you to the chef , me and my family had delicious Sunday Roasts , could not fault it . I have never tasted bread & butter pudding like it , I could have eat two helpings , it was that nice . So well done The Harrow

The first time we have visited for several years but we will return very soon. Very good quality food with friendly staff and owners. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners in difficult restricted COVID times.

Decided to try The Harrow recently for our weekly lunch out. Hadn't been there for many years as it had been rather hit and miss over time. However this time we were delighted to find it a really welcoming pub with a lovely landlady, Clair, and a very sweet waitress called Kelsey. The menu was varied and our food was well cooked and delicious (the pie of the day and the lasagne). The whole atmosphere was relaxed and friendly with all the necessary protocols in place. We will definitely be returning soon.

Hadn't been for a while, what with lockdown, and covid.Visited Saturday afternoon, all covid protocols followed, shown to our table and drinks served promptly.Menus given and food selected my daughter and I had the specials board starter for 2 my wife had chilli con carne Main and I had liverabnd bacon and Emma Had fish finger ciabatta.All were cooked perfectly.If I choose to have a Saturday lunch this is always my first choiceAlways friendly,Always good service,Always curtious,Alwways leave a tip.And LOVE the onion rings (Clare)Thanks teamShould have took more photos,too busy eatingSee you soon.

It is over a year since I left my last glowing review of this Pub / Restaurant and I can confirm that the food was every bit as good again. 6 of us chose different meals and we all really enjoyed the quality and presentation of the freshly cooked food. Superb service with friendly banter with the staff. Can't recommend The Harrow at Lidsing highly enough

Have been here a few times now. Staff very attentive,food all freshly cooked and to high quality. The Monday to Friday breakfasts are also excellent highly recommended.

Visited as a family of four and we all had a great meal. The food was hot and well cooked and presented. We hadn’t visited for over a year as we felt it was not very good but has definitely improved 100% and we will be returning. The staff were very helpful and attentive and all Covid aware. This pub needs to be buzzing again like the good old days!

Last minute Eat Out To Help Out.Was first time been to Harrow inn for about year and half, But won’t be so long next time.Service was good, Drinks went down well whilst sat under the sunshade in the garden.Food was spot on all hot and well cooked.Good size portions and of good quality.Thanks all and keep up the good work.See you all very soon.

have just had a delicious lunch at The Harrow with a friend - first "proper" meal outside of the house for months! What a treat - food excellent, service excellent. What's not to like . Hope to come back soon.

We visited yesterday for our first meal out since the pubs reopened.We had lovely fish and chips. The food was delicious. The staff were lovely and friendly. We will definitely be returning soon.

We had a lovely meal here on Sunday after deciding we wanted to go somewhere for a roast. Once we arrived we actually both decided on different meals!We had breaded brie to start which was delicious, with a good helping of salad. Then I had fish and chips and the fish was really well cooked, flaky and not greasy at all. The helping of chips on the side was great.We were sat in a side room on our own for most of the meal - a bit out of the way but considering we had called up for a table only 45 minutes prior this was fine as we may not have gotten a table otherwise. Overall a nice experience - we will be returning.

Had the fish basket and beef bouchee. Both really nice. Loads of meat/fish and lovely veg accompaniment

very pretty pleasant country pub, nice area, friendly staff, nice food , pleasant atmosphere, old fashioned

Using Goggle Maps we found this friendly pub just off the motorway. The service was excellent great choice of fresh food. In a clean friendly atmosphere

Popped in for Sunday roast did not book but was busy so would be better to book,was lovely home cooked turkey roast with extra gravy came out love and hot with cauliflower cheese as well,lovely waitress and landlady were very friendly and attentive,would highly recommend a visit.

I hadn’t been back to the Harrow since it had new owners. After working all weekend and with my favourite pub fully booked I booked a table at the Harrow for Sunday lunch as we live really close by. Have to say was utterly impressed. Staff could not be more accommodating for my children, providing colouring for them to keep them amused and even creating a pasta dish off the menu for my fussy 7 year old. Everything we asked for was accommodated with a smile. Service was fast, efficient and smiling. Food was absolutely lovely. Roast beef with proper potatoes and Yorkshire’s. I’m a roast snob I have to say and this impressed me no end. Cauliflower cheese and extra gravy brought out as well. Extra gravy! These people know. Salted caramel apple crumble was enough to then finish me off and I ended up having a 3 hour snooze at home where I was so full and content! Will definitely visit again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome xxx

Excellent food great service friendly pub also spotless cleanliness wise would recommend to anyone looking for good home cooked food representing excellent value for money

We hired the small hall for our two sons 18th birthday. Very nice and friendly staff and fantastic food. Listened to our concerns for our boys needs and checked with us throughout the evening if all was okay for them. Highly recommend.

First time here under this management and have to say it wont be the last. They fitted us in amongst a full house of christmas bookings and we had a lovely meal. Brie, pate, sausages and mash and liver and bacon all very nicely done. The place looks so much better than I've ever seen it before. Lovely people too. Wont hesitate to return or recommend. Thanks for accommodating us last night- really appreciated it.

A group of seven friends and I went to the Harrow for a Christmas celebration meal. The service was excellent and the food superb. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic place to eat , very clean and bright. Roast was delicious well done chef . Staff was very polite .

We had a Sunday lunch at The Harrow. It was outstanding, the food, drinks and service. A MUST. Booking essential, all served at a none rushed pace, I thought the roast was amazing, the desert made the meal too. Anyone that likes good food and beer it’s a must.

Just had the BEST Sunday roast in a pub ever. Fabulous food, generous portions, piping hot, super tasty. All served by Clair and her friendly family/team where nothing is too much trouble, including bread and gravy (it’s a Northern thing!)

Fantastic country pub and restaurant. Was given a table very quickly as walk in customers on a busy Sunday afternoon. Service was efficient and friendly. Food was amazing ( the Yorkshire’s are to die for!!) and arrived in good time and at a very reasonable price. Clair and Fiona thank you and we will be back soon!

We enjoyed a lovely lunch in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere in this family run country establishment

hired the hall out the back for my child's 16th birthday party, absolutely amazing service very good value had a lovely evening, very good price excellent service from Phil behind the bar, couldn't have been more helpful will definitely hire here for an event again :)

Fantastic Sunday Lunch today. Booked for 7 people, everything available on the menu. Great portions, well cooked, brought more cauliflower cheese and gravy out which is always a bonus! Delicious desserts, good value for money and the service team were superb. Highly recommended.

Dropped in to see my' ole' matey', after promising I would go and see her the previous week, but never got there, so, I decided to go and have a drink to see her and whilst I was there, I decided I was a little peckish, I had a spot of lunch and chose the lasagna, it was hot, tasty, meaty and delicious, the best Lasagna I have tasted in a very long time and I ate the whole lot ! I could tell it was cooked from fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and can certainly recommend !

Just had a delightful meal would definitely recommend The Harrow Inn. We were made to feel very welcome and special. Have even booked again.

My friends and I have been meeting monthly for lunch for a long while now and have been in many a hostelry and tea shops in the towns.Today was our second visit to The Harrow and it was as welcoming as the first visit.Clare ,the owner is a delight and could not be more helpful and had lit the fire to warm it up as it was so miserable out. To walk into a pub's restaurant and see tables set with white clothes and shiny cutlery,a flower and glassware is a joy to me.We had wonderful freshly cooked fish finger sandwiches(real fish) cooked to perfection and wonderful light batter one friend had a bruschetta with chilli and cheese and another had mushroom soup which she pronounced "the best she had ever tasted".On our previous visit ,there had been mention of Lemon Meringue Pie and Clare had one today especially for us,it was delicious.So we sat and chatted drinking our tap water and decided to book our Christmas lunch and obviously, booking next months lunch although seeing the menu we have decided to have a cooked main next time and the order for our Lemon Meringue Pie is also in the book. It may be slightly off the beaten track but it is so worth a visit we could not fault it thank you Clare and staff

Visited for a family dinner, nice place,good food if somewhat limited menu and service was o.k. Reasonable prices, what you would expect from a local pub serving food

Have been here many times over the years, but not recently since the new owner, new decor and good food and drink at a reasonable price

We visited the Harrow at Lidsing on a Friday night in July as a change from our useful haunts and on the recommendation of a friend. We have used this pub many times in the past but not for a good number of years.

I haven’t been here for nearly year, but the service, food and drinks were very good and value for money. Apart from the narrow road on one side of the building, this is a quiet, countryside located pub.

The wife and i was out doing a bit of shopping on way home was passing the Harrow so stop off for a nice cool drink in there garden was nice staff nice and friendly and the prices were good the sun was out and the garden was ok

We booked the function room for Sunday 21st July 2019 for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. We arranged to have a Buffett at lunchtime and we’re given a choice of menus and prices. Claire was very accommodating when we asked to change a few items and I must say the Buffett quality was superb. We had a great selection of different foods. The majority of it went which is always a good sign.

Hello , being in the industry myself I know how hard it is to keep compassionate and professional at the same time . Well done to the landlady her husband and all her staff for making a funeral a happy place well done xxxx

3 clean plates Food was very good, staff were welcoming and attentive. Good size portions. 1 cod n chips, 1 sausage n mash and 1 lasagne. 3 desserts which were just about managed.

Had a superb Sunday lunch at The Harrow today. I had the Brie in breadcrumbs to start followed by Liver, bacon and mash with veg and a Yorkshire pud!! Omg absolutely delish and the Yorkshire was homemade! Mississippi mud pie for pud. My friends had the roast and it was amazing complete with crackling and roasties. Definitely recommend. Dog friendly too!

Visited today as my daughter has moved near by lovely lunch enjoyed by all three of us and gluten free friendly 👍 thank you

Very lovely lunch with my partner. Friendly staff and lovely food. Didn’t have to wait ages once we ordered, food was out quick and hot and delicious.

We went into the Restaurant for a meal just by chance. We were not disappointed we had good food and a good choice to chose from. Staff are very helpful and attentive.

First time users of this one....

We went with our friends Paul and Karen on Tuesday that live locally and had a great meal. Lovely atmosphere friendly and attentive staff. The Scotch eggs are fabulous! The Merlot was a winner too. We will return. 😀

Thought we’d give the Harrow a chance again as the new people have only recently started doing food. Parts of the meal were nice, for example, the chicken skewer starter. The prawn cocktail was nothing special and overpriced. The main courses however were not so great. The chips just tasted of fat, not sure if the ‘chef’ uses animal fat to cook in. Onion rings just tasted of fat too. I have never left somewhere feeling so bloated, this feeling continued all night. So we’ll just go to the Harrow for drinks I think in future. :-(

At last – a really nice pub fairly close to our house! Under the watchful eye of new-ish landlady Claire, The Harrow offers a genuinely warm welcome and excellent beer and wine which can be enjoyed within or outside in a smart, large garden. She deserves to do well.

The Harrow is blessed to have a function room just the right size for a gathering of around 30.
