The Society Rooms in Maidstone

Food is average, some menu items taste a lot better than others. The atmosphere is great and service isn't too bad. The staff themselves are lovely but can sometimes take a while with your order (especially if you order food).

Didn't order food. Good bar service, wonderful atmosphere, huge selection, great prices

It's a Wetherspoon, the food isn't much more than frozen food from Iceland, but then they don't charge much more than the supermarket for the meal! Staff are friendly and having spent numerous hours inside, I have witnessed most tables being taken so they must be doing something right! Great value, just get what you pay for. Not knocking the place at all... Beats inflated coffee shops for remote working

The best place to chill in Maidstone.Love

Good food. Good prices. If you order a coffee you can make a refill ❤️

Good service. Good food and drinks

perfect, nice and cheap but excellent value

Brilliant breakfast we'll recommend 👌

We ordered ham, egg and chips which was ok except the egg yolk was not runny but hard so disappointing there, and another order was chilli con corna and that was straight out the microwave as the bowl was left under a hot plate as you could see a fim on the top of the food plus the rice was just dumped out of the packet warmed up in the microwave as it was all clumped together the rice so we sent it back and a new one came (well maybe warmed up in microwave again) but we declined this again and got our money back. Plus one of our party the next day had stomach problems after eating the steak meal with a hard crusty jacket potato 🥔 So very disappointed and won't be returning

Functional, clean and easier than the Wetherspoon Muggleton in town centre. Back again, for a £5 traditional breakfast and Monday £1.49 pint of perfect Ruddles. A place I like to visit once in a way.

Excellent atmosphere. The drinks are ridiculously cheap witch helps with the current cost of living. Friendly staff who now also offer a try before you buy on certain drinks. My pint of Apple Cider cost £1.99, happy days 😃

Love wetherspoons, good range of food, beer and ales. Friendly staff. Typical wetherspoons. Can get a little busy at the weekends. Warm inside.

Ignored by two members of staff chatting rather than serving. The outside area is worth going to see for the juxtaposition it creates. A prison vibe

I enjoyed the best Guinness with zero alcohol. To place is cool and good for hangout.

It's cheep and cheerful, you know what you're getting, service is fast

It’s a Wetherspoons, best of the two in Maidstone, handy for the station, manager Big George very amiable.

Nice clean pub with excellent staff. Good food too

Did not have food. Just a couple of drinks.

Didn't eat here but had a few drinks. I use the app to order the drinks to the table. Works really well and saves queueing

Staff were very nasty and asked us to leave. We were meeting up as we were former Royal Mail work mates. There were just three of us and we were told we had been speaking racism which we hadn't and if we had it was purely about the boats. Your so called managers asked us to leave and we did quietly and politely. Don't go in that pub people as the management are a disgrace

Waiting drink from last half and hour i asked the waiter but he said we have to wait because they are short staffed and I asked him i will take it my Self but he said you have to wait it's not very good to wait for a 1 drink for more then half and hours

This is the better of the 2 spoons in Maidstone. Service and the food can be a bit hit n miss when busy. We often come here as it's spacious, and the staff actually seem to care. The food I'd generally good , however on this visit they forgot the rice with our curry!

One morning waiting for breakfast. The breakfast was lovely, but then head to go downstairs to use the toilet. The toilets were very not clean and also walking up the stairs. The skirting boards were quite a Very dirty. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it It's supposed to be clean first thing in the morning. I believe so I was very shocked. I know I use the toilets. And looked everywhere else. It was multiple things that I saw. That day it wasn't very busy. There is even food on the floor.🙂‍↕️😠

Typical Wetherspoons. Polite staff ,good food , cheap beer. Friendly atmosphere. Visit again soon .

To me and my partner, this was a 4+ star experience

Really cool venue at the heart if Maidstone. A more upmarket Whetherspoons with large windows lamenting in plenty of natural light, plenty of modern seating and screens to check the menu, ingredients, and allergy contents. Gone the tired brown interior

All spoons aren't the same. Great atmosphere and great banter with the staff

Good value for money. Cheaper than the rest of the pubs in Maidstone along with the other 2 Weatherspoons pubs. Service can be a bit slow but that's probably due to how busy it usually is. Can get a bit overcrowded at times.

I called in here today. I went to order food at the bar for 16 covers after a funeral that took place a few dooes down, which would have been about £400 of revenue for the pub. I'm an ethnic minority and was overlooked several times by the barmaid who herself was ethnic and barthem which I let slide.. I watched a person of East Asian origin approach the bar and white people were served before him and he walked out. I then did too and not only was I disappointed by the discrimination faced here by an ethnic minority barmaid/non-binary barthem, I was disappointed I didn't leave sooner. We took our business elsewhere and will not call here again.

Nice airy place. Ordered food and drinks at 14:30. Drinks arrived 14:45. Food arrived 14:50. Plate was barely warm. Chips were warm and tasted as if they had been sitting on the side for sometime. Peas were warm. Scampi was fractionally hotter but it could all have been fresher/hotter. Disappointed with this particular spoons - used to much better service and hot food.

I great place to start the party

Ecxellent prices for beer and food. Lange selection of beers and food.

Too crowded and I never understood being allowed to bring children and babies to a bar the excess noise and healing from kids ruins ya day met up with a friend of the family and couldn't hear him from less the two feet from me, as for food tiny meals nice but small so youl feel like it's a bit skimped out on but none the less it was nice food staf was happy to help.

I have yet to order a breakfast and they get it right, all I orded was a bacon sandwich, with a side of Mushrooms, and an avocado muffin for my friend. This young guy brought over my bacon sandwich, no Mushrooms, when I asked him, he said I didn't order them, but I had, he was really rude, and the Mushrooms came with the muffin. He was always rude when he collected our plats.

We like Wetherspoons. You know exactly what you're getting.. A reasonable price for food and drink.

I meet some old school colleagues here for a juice or two. I like it.

The Spoons you remember when at school.

Best wetherspoons in maidstone , more choice of ales and attentive staff eager to please . Food came out hot . All round very good .

Rubbish refused to serve food to myself and my daughter who is 23 after 8.00pm because my daughter had no.ID

Went there this evening for a meal. I didn't have my ID on me so they couldn't serve me. Got my mum to go up & they said that they couldn't serve her because I didn't have my ID on me. Would NOT recommend

Didn't have food but service was average atmosphere was dead as a door nail

Was lovely food and very relaxing.

Great pub ,friendly atmosphere x

I would like to say Curtis made the experience even more pleasurable, nothing was to much trouble he was affable hard working and all with a smile on his face, an absolute credit to your establishment…. Thankyou

Got Bangers & Mash with a pint of orange juice and lemonade for less than £7!!!@ You just can't knock it. 👍

My experiences are restricted to morning and lunch during working week, so I can't speak to rush hours. But the food is fair for what you pay, the servers have always been kind and polite. During the times I'm there, there aren't many people; so I miss that 'hum' or 'buzz' that comes with crowds.

Decent clean spoons right near to the station. Fast service and great prices. A good atmosphere in the evening and only a short walk into town for the other bars and pubs if you're on a night out.

Quick service friendly staff plenty of choices on where to sit

£1.79 per pint? Can't go wrong!

Love it here, quick service friendly staff and great prices. This is definitely the best of the two weatherspoons pubs in Maidstone...BY FAR

Excellent spoons, very clean ,and in a good location, food was very good and quick

Food is cheap and cheerful you pay for what you get but to send chips with curry sauce out stone cold is unbelievable promptly they were sent back maybe the microwave wasn't up high enough

We orderd for three meals.sausage mash. pizza.tikka curry. When the tikka came the rice was cold but if the curry had been hot it would have been fine.it was luke warm. I returned it but by the time the replacement came the rest of the family had finished eating.got a refund but this was a birthday meal and the first time i had been out not wearing a mask since covid as i have immunodefieciency.just wanted a normal meal. Not happy.

Food was absolutely disgusting. Ordered the large mixed grill accompanied by an extra grill chicken breast to which the chicken was hard and definitely not grilled the gammon was burnt and over cooked the lamp was hard and I never got a pork loin to even comment on. I was told by one member of staff that being an expensive meal I cannot have a refund to which I spoke to the manager who offered me one. After being left for around half an hour waiting to hear back I finally got a receipt for my refund which not only did the hard chicken not get refunded but also the price of the mixed grill was also not refunded to the price I paid for it. Over all very unhappy and angry about this and will be taking this alot further. I will not return here for food if someone paid me.

Always great prices on food and drink, just found my new favourite in the boneless chicken basket.

We been here last couple weeks, feed a family of 4 for £35 including drinks. Nice filling meals no complaints. Will use again.

What can you say, it's a 'Spoons', cheap drinks, cheap but tasty food. Conveniently located

Good food good location and very friendly staff

Great place for family to sit in a quiet atmosphere and enjoy Sunday breakfast. It is very specious especially with tall ceilings and windows all around . There is a dedicated space for those who want to sit and enjoy themselves on their own or with friends and family. Food is delicious and you have options to choose from a variety of dishes (I'm talking about breakfast ) my kids love American style breakfast with pancakes 😁 Me and wife normally choose English breakfast keeps me filled up 😁 Prices are friendly and not going to make a hole in your pocket . My kids especially enjoy the refilled option for hot drinks chocolate to be specific. Breakfast for 4 of us cost around £26

Typical Wetherspoons breakfast experience. Enjoyed it. Nice window seat for people watching.

Had a great breakfast here on Saturday. Staff were busy but very friendly. Food was great and for that price you can't go wrong.

Cheap and cheerful. As to be expected.

Regularly have breakfast here and have no complaints. The range of food is great and the prices are fantastic. The staff are lovely and helpful too. Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch.

Delicious food and excellent customer service

Went in to get a take away coffee. It took a while before I was served. It looked like only two people actually serving. The girl behind the bar finally asked ''Who's next?'' even though I had been standing right in front of her, she was looking at someone next to me. I told her I was. This seemed to niggle her so I got a brief and curt response but was only able to decipher ''...at the end of the bar for your latte.'' I stood at the end of the bar waiting for the drink. I watched the two girls behind the bar and neither of them was making a coffee. I saw a man standing nearby and asked him if he knew where to wait for hot drinks. I went back to the bar and by an amazing coincidence, the girl who was ill-mannered some minutes before was saying to a customer ''I thought he was first... (Not these exact words). I said ''No, I was.'' She glared at me and replied ''I'm not talking to you,'' attempting to say she was talking about another, similar occurrence. Mmmmm, quelle surprise. I returned to the end of the bar and the man I spoke to before pointed to a machine and explained it was a do-it-yourself. He told me he had asked for some milk for his tea and was still waiting. Eventually someone appeared with a take away cup and milk. While he waited for his milk and I made the drink, we spoke about the amount of young people these days being disrespectful and not having the ability to communicate effectively or given the customer service training to be able to do so.

This venue is on the ground floor level with a large outside seating area that is uncovered. The pub is spacious and light due to the numerous glass panels around the outside. It's not a typical Wetherspoons building and we found it soul less & bland. However it was extremely busy at 3pm on a Saturday so it obviously suits lots of people. Didn't eat here but the Stella was good. My wife didn't finish her Merlot as it had a funny taste. This Spoons would suit the younger generation and I prefer the Muggleton inn just down the road as it's more traditional & has character.

Busy at 2pm. Stopped for coffee and ice cream.

Nice Wetherspoons very close to Maidstone East station. Had Black Dragon cider on when visited.

Drinks are reasonably priced, as is the food, good service from the friendly team.

Ordered an American cheeseburger, still looking for the cheese! How can you get this wrong?

The staff are hard working and honest, i left my debit card on the bar and they returned it. The food is good value and quality.

Nice place to have a drink and some food to eat. I love the beers in here. Good prices

Great food and fantastic service 👌

Nice big caged open fire in there, really sets the mood! It's a wetherspoons so prices are perfect food is standard, nice place to chill out and have a cold one

A nice stop at the end of my days walk on the North Downs Way. I chose the Baked Potato with a Birra Moretti which cost £8.12. A good light meal which filled the gap nicely

Absolutely love having a pint here or a lunch 😀

Fairly standard wetherspoons exactly as expected

It's a wetherspoons so the beer and food is inexpensive. Good range of beers and ciders. Popular during day and evening

Becoming ever more popular this Wetherspoons provides good quality food (Michelin chef give them 7 out of 10) and drinks at a very reasonable price. Left wing comedians regularly mock Wetherspoons as they dine in expensive suave restaurants but regular folk appreciate the good value offered by Wetherspoons. The only problem nowadays is, occasionally, getting a table without a short wait.

Not particularly impressed. Had their big breakfast on several.occasiknns and consistently disappointed. Beans, mushroom (single small mushroom that is), bacon, toast and sausage all cold. The two eggs were only 1/2 eggs as most of the egg white had been chopped away?! Toast was barely toasted. Bacon was tough, like it had been cooked to order 3 days ago. So easily improved by serving food hot, not serving half eggs and more than 1 small mushroom.

Came in for a drink before going to a dress fitting. Nice drinks, fairly decent atmosphere considering how early it was. Staff were quick to take my order. Place was clean and in good condition.

Well priced food and drink of good quality and served promptly.

Great staff, welcoming and friendly. Service was excellent

Good pub. App works great if you don't want to goto the bar.

Bar and drinking area cold,downstairs toilets much warmer wanted to stay there ,staff okay beer good

Refused to be served a pint of Corona unless It was served with a wedge of lime !! I’m allergic to citrus fruits …. Unbelievably apparently it’s company policy that they can’t serve Corona without the wedge of lime on the glass !!!!!

You know what you're getting here. Decent priced meals with a drink, well recommended for dropping and getting some beers and decent scoff.

Only thing wrong with eating here when we did was it was matchday for Maidstone United and the place was packed to the rafters... Food was good despite the pressure the kitchen was under, full marks to them

Right next to Maidstone East train station at the beginning of Week Street. Comfy and comfort food for an astonishingly low price really. For cheerful and reasonably cheap good food and and excellent range of drinks, it's hard to beat :)

A friendly JD Wetherspoon pub. Staff at the bar were very attentive

Went for breakfast this morning and they ended up getting my order wrong. The server's attitude was that I hadn't been charged extra for their mistake so not to worry (no attempt to correct the error). My food wasn't even lukewarm, so had clearly been sat there for a while. My experience was rather disappointing as the building itself was quite nice and in a convenient location.

It's one of the better Weatherspoons. Friendly staff, quick service. Always easy to grab a table

Good location, cosy experience.

Tasty food, fair prices, place to go!

Not really my favourite place to go. OK for a quick drink whilst waiting for the train.

Food good and staff generally very friendly, the only negative is that service can be a bit slow at times and the queue for the coffee machine can be long at times

As all Weatherspoons very good value for money nice selection of drinks and food. If you use their app you can order and pay at your table. Great value , why go elsewhere

Great price, fantastic deals, fast service

It deserves 5* because of the prompt and cheerful service. Okay, the food may not be of top quality but for what they charge it's good. Ideal place to meet family and their kids during the day.

Very busy but food came quickly.
