Amazing evening, great food and thank you Paul for all of your help! One of our party is Gluten Intolerant and he couldn't do enough to make sure everything was great!

I brought some of my clients for a dinner and some drinks and we had a brilliant time. Our food was delicious, and our server Izzy was both attentive but also respectful. She made us feel very welcome and even had a little joke or two with us during service. Great server and great place! I’d happily return again. The loaded fries are massive btw. So only order as a side to share on top of the mains (also pleasingly plentiful).

We were so excited to visit The Herbalist after reviewing their website and other reviews but wow were we disappointed! First off it seemed that we were more of an inconvenience to the waiter when he came to take our order or were asked to clear the table. The food was average, my gnocchi was so oily, my husband had mussels missing from his seafood pasta. Very sad about our experience but unfortunately won’t be back.

Food wasn’t too bad but had most muscles missing from my seafood pasta. Service was absolutely shocking - waiter showed no interest in providing a lovely lunch with close friends and family, it was as if we, the customers were inconveniencing them. I asked if they could warm up my 8 month olds food (which was in a fully closed container) and he said he would ask the chef (with attitude) and mentioned it’s not usually allowed but he will ask - he did not ask and completely avoided me after this despite making eye contact several times. Our finished plates of food sat on the table for at least 20 minutes and had to ask for them to removed and again - it was as if this was an inconvenience to them. We will not come back and certainly will not recommend.

We booked a table here at 20:30, arrived at the place at 20:45 and we were told that the kitchen is closed and there will be no dinner for us, nowhere was indicated the time of the kitchen, we were advised to neighboring establishments, wasted time on the road, I do not recommend.

We made a reservation from 20:30 to 21:45 with the indication that it would be dinner. We arrived at 20:45 and were told that the kitchen was closing and nothing would be cooked for us. This is not stated on the website, plus they had a "dinner" option for that time. My birthday party that I had planned to celebrate here was ruined. Modified: when booking the opening time was not written, but if you dig on the site, it was stated that the kitchen was open until 21:30. And the place was 90% empty at the time. We weren't passing by, we booked that night. It's very unpleasant.

Didn't have food but have eaten at other elite pubs and it's always been top notch. Fantastic menu, caters for everyone, doesn't limit people dietary requirements. We came for cocktails and visited junipers, first time going to the downstairs bar. It's a gorgeous cocktail list. As someone who's tee-total it's very nice to be given the option of a good range of mocktails which aren't just juice and lemonade! Zero spirits used properly. The non alcoholic beer selection is wicked as well with plenty of bottles and lucky saints on tap in the herbalist if you want a proper pint Would defo recommend

I had kebab which was OK but over priced and family, 2 Adults, 1 Child, had pizza and they were honestly the least appetising bare pizzas I've ever seen. There was virtually no toppings on an over thin piece of cooked dough and for what you got the price was extortionate! Exactly the same can be said of the Calzone - all puff with very little filling. My family had deserts, 1 Eaton Mess, 1 crumble, 1 Childs Ice Cream. Eaton Mess - delicious. Crumble - Left as was extremely poor quality and tasteless. Ice Cream OK. No sides came with pizza's not even salad so I side salad was ordered. Myself and grandchild had iced tap water. 1 × mocktail and 1 × 1/2 beer Total cost £122. Absolutely bloody ridiculous. It was my daughters treat but never, never again, seriously over priced for supposedly Italian food, which is in all honesty, was probably the most tasteless I've ever tried. If you have to go here do yourself a favour and have burger, they look better but with so many more good reasonably priced establishments in Maidstone, I'd give it a miss altogether.

I enjoyed it and I would go again but it was pricey so it would have to be a treat. The person who invited me asked for private dining so we were disappointed when we were first offered a space in the main dining area and then moved to an annexe that was a bit tight for the numbers. When I pre ordered I asked for sorbet for dessert and was given ice cream which was very nice but not what I asked for. The service was very good and the young lady who attended to us was excellent.

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.

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
