The Potting Shed in Maidstone

Stayed here and its was amazing, the accommodation was fantastic and the staff are soooo friendly and helpful. Would 100% stay again.

Terrible service. Barlady just yelled at me to move along then. Bar then proceeded to serve everyone out of order even though there was a clear queue. When told there was queue she shrugged and said she didn’t care. The proceeded to call waiting customers idiots to her colleagues. Used to be a good pub with nice food, been coming here a while but won’t bother if that’s how they treat people who pay for their service

Lovely place, very spacious pub with indoors or outdoor sitting areas. Love the decor, food is delicious and staff friendly. I definitely recommend it.

Lovely food, decor and service.

The pub was very nice. Didn’t enjoy the fish and chips. Have eaten plenty of fresh fish in my time and this fish ( definitely not cod) was frozen was watery and not thick and flakey and had a frozen taste to it.

Another great visit to The Potting Shed for my niece’s birthday breakfast. Great food and lovely staff. Andreea couldn’t do enough for us! Fab.

Enjoyed a great breakfast at the Potting Shed, we had the full English and eggs benedict which were both excellent. We were served by Andreea & Stacey who were both friendly and looked after our needs. We will come back again!

Always good. Never had a bad meal in many visits. Great value for moneys

Such s lovely little pub. Done a fantastic job of taking us in for breakfast with about half an hour to spare on their times. There was about 40 of us due to our first car club meet being located at a different venue and they let us down on the catering side of things. So after a quick phone call to these guys we moved locations to here. Lovely little venue and the breakfast was so tasty! Will definitely come back again. Loads of car parking to the rear with outdoor space to sit if the weather is on your side! Little playground to entertain the kiddies too. Just great ticks all the boxes. Thank you to the Potting shed and all their staff 😁😋

After we had been let down by our caterers for a planned gathering, we contacted The Potting Shed asking if they would be able to cater for us, and with just 15 minutes notice on a busy Easter Monday, manged to feed and provide refreshments for 40 people and park 20 cars in their car park. Staff were friendly, the gardens were lovely and clean and well maintained, the venue was really nice and the food and drink was ideal. Thank you so much for looking after us at such short notice. We'll certainly look to come back, if you're happy to have us. Best regards South East Mk2 Golfs

I love the Potting Shed and have frequented it many times. The food is always super tasty and the staff really friendly. On this occasion I was visiting with my mother and my 10-month-old daughter who was getting very upset to due to being 10 months old and many things make them cry. I’d like to make a special mention and thanks to Michaela & Andreea who took it upon themselves to come over and try to comfort her and entertain / distract her while we try to scoff down our yummy meals. I really appreciate the assistance and it did make things easier to handle as a screaming and upset child is more challenging and disrupting for the parents than it is for the other dining guests. It's a shame you’ve got rid of the Korean Piggy pizza ☹

Elite pubs do a really good job. Went on a busy bank holiday Monday and the service was relatively good. Food was great and everyone was happy. Another positive experience at elite pubs.

Want to say massive thanks for letting us come along last minute yesterday to host us all for breakfast and letting us use your car park for first meet of the year lovely place food was amazing highly recommended from us all at southeast MK2 golfs .....

Had a lovely family meal here food was very good especially the lamb! Our waitress Vicky was lovely 🤩 great with the children. Will be returning very soon to try the pizzas.

Food was insane! We had lots of wood fired pizzas on our table and the pork Souvlaki kebab. A strong 10/10, if you are a foodie like me, this is one to visit. Jack, the lovely gent who served us our food was spot on with his recommendations. I wouldn’t have chosen the sticky toffee but he persuaded and I did not regret it! Thank you so much! We do not live nearby but will be visiting again this year for sure. xXxXx

What a find! Our regional classic car group rang and spoke to staff to squeeze us In on a very busy bank holiday Monday to feed our members breakfast following on from being let down by our original caterers. With just 15 minutes notice we arrived and were greeted by friendly staff. The breakfast was excellent and decor of the place was beautiful. While we waited or food (which wasnt long at all considering how busy they were) my children used the climbing equipment in the garden which was very handy to keep them occupied. The grounds were tidy and car park was huge, absolutely perfect for our 20 cars. So a huge thank you to The Potting Shed. You literally saved our breakfast car meet. 5 star and will definitely visit again!

Another lovely meal at The Potting Shed; food and drink delicious and staff attentive & friendly. Thanks to Kate who served us. Lovely atmosphere, will definitely return!

After being let down by a local cafe we phoned The Potting Shed to see if they could accommodate 20 cars for a local car breakfast meet. Despite being extremely busy and with only 15min notice they welcomed us in, gave us the bar area and we were all well fed and watered. Breakfast was good, service was great and will definitely be back again!

Exceptional service by Andreea& Mihaela. We had a great time thank you, we will definitely be coming back soon to enjoy the lovely food you provide.

Lovely restaurant, lovely food, lovely atmosphere and brilliant service from Vicki. Very good value for money and would highly recommend!

Amazing food, perfect setting for a bank holiday Monday. Service was great, Kate and Jack were super friendly, and made our experience even more amazing. 10/10 xx

Visited here for Easter lunch. Food was great and service (although a little slow) but propbably to be expected for Easter Sunday was good. Well worth a visit! The fillet steak was cooked perfectly amd coffee is also great. Polly who looked after us was great!

Had a great meal - wonderful options for vegan and celiac party members. Service was outstanding

Nice decor, Vicki was friendly and really good service, nice food, sourdough wood fired pizza is amazing, lamp rump is delicious.

Good Friday evening.. we hadn’t booked, but a table was quickly found for us. Good food.. but amazing service from Jack. Recommendations made, drinks offered as our glasses were getting low, checked on during our meal, and lovely friendly chat…. What an asset to the potting shed, don’t lose him.. Thank you Jack!

Lovely food and excellent table service from Michaela. Really liked everything about this restaurant. Will definitely revisit.

We went for lunch and even though the restaurant was busy we were served swiftly. We had the Pizza with prosciutto and nduja and it was delicious! Highly recommend it! Stefan was very friendly and welcoming!! Thank you

Delicious breakfast and great service from Andreea & Mihaela. Plus we had a money-off voucher so it was even better value. Thank you ladies, we’ll be back soon!

I was treated to the most fantastic breakfast for my birthday on the 22nd March. We both had the full English and can't recommend it highly enough. They make there own black pudding which has apple in and tastes amazing. I also had one of...

An enjoyable Sunday Lunch. We'll cooked food and generous portions. Table service was a little erratic at times though.

Didnt book and a table was found for us....Great food great service from Michaela and Andreea! Will definitely be returning.

Great full English and Gardener’s breakfasts had with coffee, warm welcome and attentive service from Andrea and team in a lovely, comfortable setting.

Entertaining our 5 year old grandson and brilliantly looked after by Michaela and Andreer. Soup not quite hot enough for me but everything else was excellent.

Very relaxed lunch in pleasant surroundings. Menu is quite extensive and I plumped for a burger. It was fresh and juicy and the pickled red cabbage was a very nice accompaniment

As always, great service with a smile from Michaela and Andree, breakfast is good, loving the pancakes with a side of black pudding 😋 … recommended 👌🏻

Like the restaurant, it is so cozy. But not the car park entrance which is a single lane and by the road. The cars may need to wait on the road to let the cars come out first which may obstruct the vehicles from driving pass the road.

Amazing breakfast perfectly served by Andreea and Michaela, Thank you so much for your attention to our table and making sure we had a wonderful time!!

We've been there many times and it's still my favourite "pub" in Maidstone! Food and Drinks are always great, and they are very accommodating with kids as well. Thank you to Andreea & Mihaela :)

A great meal for both of us, Andrea was a great waitress with quick service, would recommend to anyone looking for a nice meal out.

I would like to share my positive experience at the Potting Shed as I was extremely impressed with the exceptional service, friendliness and professionalism of the staff here, especially Andreea and Michaela. And of course, food was good as always and all other attendees of...

Andreea and Mihaela were amazing, so polite, very friendly. Great experience, lovely food. Fish and chips were so fresh!

Was a nice lunch, lovely atmosphere. Michael's and Andrea were very nice, friendly and helpful. We had goats cheese pizza was delicious, it did go cold very quickly as plate wasn't that hot but we still enjoyed it

My family were here for a birthday lunch at which we were made to feel really at home Andrew’s and Stacey were most attentive and the food was good

Visited on Tuesday night for dinner for 4. Vicki was very welcoming and friendly (our boys really liked her too!) and all empty plates at the end :-) as the food was really delicious. Great ambience. Thank you!

Really excellent service . We’ve been here before and again didn’t disappoint. We were served by Jack who was patient and very professional.

Good food, beautiful location. But they force a tip. Without letting you know, they put their own tip on the bill. Absolutely disgusting. Until then, i was thinking of coming back soon. That won't ever happen.

We were invited to The Potting Shed for a friends 21st, had a great evening and will definitely be back. Food, service and atmosphere/decor was all really nice. Good menu with plenty of choice, I had the venison (excellent) and my wife had a pizza...

Very nice breakfast and great service. It’s a lovely pub with great outside area look forward to returning in the summer

The pizzas are superb and get better everytime we come Impressed with the Wildshark Gin Brilliant service from Andreea & Michaela

Great food and friendly staff. The menu had a good choice for all kinds of diets. Andrea was especially friendly and helpful :)

Excellent lunch and friendly staff. Good selection on the lunchtime menu, service was prompt . Michaela and Andreea were very helpful

Having been to some of the other Elite pubs I was sceptical about going but the service was excellent without being overpowering and the food was very good. We’ll done Andrea and Michaela.

Lovely lunch. Excellent food in nice airy and bright dining room. Service from Michaela and Andrea was very good. We will return.

Always great food. The team is very welcoming and friendly. Service is quick. Great atmosphere and very clean and tidy..

Really great service and luscious mains and pudding from mihaela and jack definitely reccomend and will be back ......

Had a lovely experience having lunch at The Potting Shed with my family. Food and drink was great and Michaela was a lovely server :)

My wife and I visit the potting regularly. On this occasion we had a two course meal which was good quality and delicious. The service was great. Michaela and Andreea always welcome us, are efficient and attentive. The best! Thank you

A very good food and excellent service by Michela and Andreea. Had a lovely experience. This was my first visit and I will be going back.

We loved our dinner. The locally-sourced chicken was roasted to perfection and was so tasty! Everything was really tasty.

Lovely meal for my mums birthday. Michaela and Andreea were great hosts. Mum really enjoyed the spiced cauliflower pie.Will definitely be back, thank you.

We had a lovely brunch this morning. The food was delicious and well cooked. We had the gardeners breakfast (with salmon) and the big breakfast. Michaela and Andreea were fantastic. Attentive but not pushy. We would highly recommend.

I come here frequently for brunch and the food and service is amazing. Michaela and Andreea are the best. I never even have to order my coffee, they just bring it over. Best and nicest service. Always so well looked after.

Great place for Mothering Sunday lunch. The food was excellent, as was the service, we will definitely go again. The gravy was fabulous 😋

Four of us met up for breakfast. Nice large car park and a lovely looking outside area. The staff were friendly and room was warm and a really nice vibrant place to be. I had the Great British Breakfast and swapped out the back pudding for another Cumberland sausage. Really good food which we all enjoyed with a pot of tea each.

Always loved it here for staying in rooms and also love all the food they serve especially lobster in the summer

Very good food, pleasant, lovely, I recommend it

Had a lovely lunch today with friends. Food was fabulous and we were well looked after by Michaela and Andrea. Will certainly revisit in the near future. Would highly recommend..

Good to go for drinks. Food is okay - not the best. Service isn't their strong suit either. Then watch out when you get the bill because they add a 12.5% service charge. Ask to get it removed.

Stopped at the Pub with a large group of friends for breakfast. Excellent food and great coffee, a special mention for Rakhi & Mihaela for looking after us.

Great food, great service and a great vibe. Looking forward to returning soon!

food was nice with good friendly service .found it over priced .also a service charge put on the bill which personally i dont agree with .asked them to take service charge off which was not a problem at all , and left a tip of £5 .would definately go back if prices were to reflect what you get for your money .

Nice place, been here a bunch of times Andrea and Mikaela were fab. Please bring back sticky toffee pudding.

We had a lovely late breakfast just before they stop at 11am. Lovely service very welcoming and great fresh food. See you soon

The food was delightful. The pizza were amazing I had to order 2. The service was also top tier especially from Andrea who was a big help.

Amazing restaurant with quality food, especially the authentic Italian pizzas, would definitely recommend. Service was great and the staff were friendly. Many thanks to Andrea who waited on us.

Booked inadvanced and told them I'm in a wheelchair. But when I needed to go to the loo. They said they had no disabled toilets. It would have been useful to know this beforehand. Very disappointed.

Great meal , quickly served. Michaela was a very attentive waitress

Lovely staff. Andreea and Mika were most helpful and friendly.

This is my second stay here. First of all I would like to say the staff are brilliant the man on check with the brown hair didn’t get his name! Was amazing spoke to him on phone twice very friendly and when we got here was kind and caring food 10/10 and drinks are amazing will be back again! Keep up the good work!

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere was good. The food unfortunately was average at best.

Jack was an amazing waiter, great service always checking on us. Best place to spend ur birthday, THANK YOU JACK!!!!

I think Scrooge was in charge of the starters, two tiny pieces of toast with the baked camenbert, and just 5 little white bait for 5.50 a plate.. and as for the Terine, dry as scrooges old shoes... mains were fine and the pizza actually very good.. hence the balanced score... service was a bit thin on the ground but polite and friendly when it arrived..

Staff were great and the English breakfast was lovely.

We booked in for breakfast and weren't disappointed, the service and food was brilliant.

Great service and food 👌 🍽 had the duck and fish and chips, would definitely return and recommend 👍

We stayed in this beautiful pub. The rooms were very clean staff were amazing and very friendly. I would recommend this venue to anyone that is thinking of staying here. Food is fantastic also

A lovely restaurant In Maidstone great pizza would recommend if in the area

Nice pub, but accessibility and facilities needs drastically updating. We attended this evening for dinner with my disabled sister to be told we should have disclosed that someone with a disability was attending the dinner, however there is no accessibilty requirement when booking a table and also, there is no need to for this to be disclosed. They also informed us that there wasn't any disabled toilet and the venue is not wheelchair friendly at all. We also have newborn baby who needed to changed and my partner went to change them and he was informed that there is only changing facilities in the women's toilets, considering we are in 2023 this seems very behind the times and even the facilities to change a baby are not private and are not suitable as it in front of the sink which all toilet users are using - God forbid that my partner was attending alone I am not sure where he would be able to change them. We were extremely disappointed that in the current times we are still facing accessibility barriers, which other hospitality venues are leaps and bounds ahead.

Staff were friendly and welcoming and very accommodating to us as we took our baby in a pram. Staff provided a high chair on request. The food was hot and tasty.

One of many visits to the Potting Shed. The food is good,the staff brilliant and cost reasonable. The waitresses to mention are Andreea & miha. Nothing too much trouble for these girls and Andreea even remembers what we drink and what dishes we prefer. First class all round.

Came here for dinner with some friends it's a busy place, a little on the noisy side but this didn't take away from the evening. Our server was brilliant although I didn't get her name. But she was funny and bubbly even joining in with the ribbing of our younger guest. Food was good I went for the mackerel fillets which were huge but had food envy when the fish and chips came out. Four people with meals and drinks for just under £150 was a good price as well.

It's such a nice pub just outside Maidstone with plenty of parking space

Good menu, good atmosphere for such a large restaurant. Staff attentive but not intrusive.

Chanced upon this brilliant place while searching for nearby food to Leeds Casfle and it certainly did not disappoint. The property consists of a quaint hotel and a restaurant. It has more than ample parking for guests and a lovely garden/outdoor area to have meals though we sat indoors as it is summer. We were greeted and served by 2 of the most friendliest servers we have ever met! They were so welcoming, helpful and they just love their jobs. The restaurant is beautifully decorated to the its name and its kids friendly with high chair. Food came really fast and we like how the ingredients were all locally sourced from farms in Kent/Canterbury. Not forgetting that it was really delicious too! This was one of our favorite memories of our trip and we will definitely be back for more.

Great food, great atmosphere and great staff.

Thank you so much Vicki for a great service!xx

Omg, I got here not long ago to stay for one night. Its gorgeous. The rooms are huge, comfortable, warm. Massive bathroom and shower. Clean. Very very impressed at the location, the hotel, the friendly staff and the room. Excellent price too.

5* amazin food and the shack outside very cozy and nice touch of playing your own music. Fairy lights and heater. Love it.

Amazing breakfast, lovely staff

Had a lunch on Saturday the service and food was amazing and a special thanks to Michaeza waitress for the little touch of the happy birthday dessert for the better half also the prices weren’t to steep either and not along wait for food
