The Walnut Tree in Maidstone

Excellent friendly pub, great service, great range of good beers at reasonable prices, music and entertainment round off a splendid venue. Continues to provide great service to the community.

Always a great place to visit. Atmosphere and service is great

Very nice place, good service, nice bartenders. Offers darts too and is dog friendly.

Traditional old pub with good selection of beers

We had a lovely evening here, with live music!

Great Friday evening at Walnut Tree, live music fabulous, very friendly Staff and well served good beer. Customers all enjoying themselves and interacting with each other, a welcoming bunch of folks. It's just great to find an old traditional pub like this servong and entertaining the locals. Highly recommended.

This pub has a nice beer garden and warm interior bar. They do not do food.

Nice pub, good atmosphere. Would recommend

Listened to the latest have a word podcast with russell kane

Lovely pub, and really friendly staff. Would recommend

A great pub in the heart of the community. A warm welcome.

I had 2 barbique raps rom there absolutely beats any rap I've eaten before was very nice also salad was dressed and sides. 👌🤌

Very rude woman that works in here. Short lady in her 70s shoulder length hair. Was so rude to me and my family whilst we was parking. Barked at me that I'm taking to long to park and customers were complaining! I was in the car park for no more then a minute. Horrible person. Will not be going back nor will my friends and family.

Great bar with Amazing beer garden ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Superb food and the pub garden was nice with plenty of seats and benches.

Brilliant local pub. Ideal for the whole community - appeals to a wide demographic. Very well kept pub interior and beer garden. Friendly and welcoming landlady. Live bands and Goachers beer.

A nice little end of terrace pub, serving a good selection of real ales.

Such a nice beer garden, lovely in sun. Refreshing drinks and amazing food, didn’t have to wait long at all for food. Friendly staff, overall nice pub.

1) The place is really nice 2) The staff are very kind and helpfull 3) The resident dog is absolutely amazing (love at a first sight)

Local town pub but with regular top flight comedy nights. Beers are good if they don't run out. Many famous comics started here and some died here, apparently.

Great evening meal and drink. Menu was given as soon as we sat down and meals were served 15 minutes . Staff very friendly and polite. Fairly busy for a Monday evening. Great spot in the Kent countryside. Highly recommended.

What an awful experience last night, waited 30 mins to order, then waited a further 40 mins for a waitress to tell us our food was on its way, offered a complimentary drink to apologise but never got them, 10 mins later manager came over and said they had lost all power in the kitchen (but the lights were still on?) so we were getting no food? Unprofessional at best

Quaint little boozer with a lovely atmosphere

What a hidden gem! We have enjoyed a fabulous meal here today, we were sat in the 'Snug' which was perfect for a lovely private meal however walking in to the pub we were immediately greeted by the warm fire. The pub is cosy and we will definitely return if in the area again.

Fantastic friendly pub offering quality beers and great bands.

Nice pub, shame about the landlady

Traditional friendly pub complete with pub dog.

Lovely garden, lovely atmosphere 👍

Friendly service good collection of drinks, great entertainment.

Come for the beer and outside seating. Stay for the woofers

Service was very good and friendly

Friendly local pub with a good little beer garden that now has a large marquee in it to keep us warm, dry and socially distanced during these strange times! They look after their ales and even offer a camra discount.

Great atmosphere lovely little local pub

Excellent place to drink and eat!

Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and a good crowd. But of a country feel to place. Can't comment on food because I haven't tried it. But they've got Goachers ale!

Nice little pub very friendly staff

Our local fir now, friendly staff , had some good friday nights there, good music last night

Lovely friendly pub, great music

Great comedy nights on Thursday. Followed by live bands. Great friendly staff and atmosphere.

Seems like a nice pub with nice people. The dog is friendly and the pub warm. 👍😊

Great atmosphere, music and such friendly bar staff.

Wonderful pub with atmosphere and history, great hosts and range of beers.

Visited with family, a small and cosy setting. Was not very busy when we were there in December 2019.

A pint on Christmas day, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, recommended

Nice, cheap food. Informal atmosphere. Sofas and coffe tables with no seated dining

Proper pub great barstaff loads of entertainment and a good crowd

Very friendly staff and nice cosy little pub. It was my first visit today but I will be returning soon!

Thanks to all the staff warm welcome and a pleasure to be there

My son entered his 1st open mic at this pub. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Great pub, great friendly atmosphere. A very homely open fire. Just a really good experience and we will be back.

Used a voucher purchased prior to visiting. Paid for my drinks before going in to eat. Food was tasty but a long wait between courses. Would like to be there is busy. When we received bill had to send it back twice for correction. Would I visit again - possibly.

A lovely pub with a great atmosphere on live band nights ( check with the pub for who is on and when). The pub is comfortable and cosy in the winter months but also has a garden for the better weather.

Iv never met such a grumpy moaning owner Can't do any thing in there . Like being at school .

The comedy night shouldn't work but it just does. Great fun.

We were out for a Sunday drive but took the wrong turn and stopped in the car park to get our bearings. We then decided to pop in for a drink. Pleasantly surprised. A quintessential English pub, we were looked after so well, and stopped longer than we anticipated, in fact we stopped for the Sunday Carvery. How nice to see freshly cooked food, a great choice of meats, crispy roast potatoes like mum use to make. We are glad we got lost now and loved the puddings. We have booked ourselves a table in a couple of weeks and will return with friends.

Very nice pub, good cheap food, nice selection of drinks, friendly and best of all very cute pub dog

My band Komeleon played the Jam Night here - very supportive and friendly people. Will definitely play there again.

Good honest local, has bt sports

Now this is what I call a proper traditional Pub!! Often driven past & wanted to visit - finally went last night with family to a Bob Dylan tribute night & had such a great evening! fab atmosphere & despite being very busy the bar staff were in terrific form (England also playing!!) so good friendly service too! You feel at home the minute you walk in the door & step over the dog lying stretched out on the floor! Ideally placed just outside Maidstone this is a pub you have to visit - intend to go to sample the pub menu very soon! Well worth a visit & can’t wait for the quiz night !!

Average prices on beers great atmosphere👌

Really nice cosey place with live music every other weekend

Lovely, warm and welcoming. I enjoy this pub allot.

I went there for lunch from work. The food was absolutely lovely! The place has a great atmosphere. Great little pub. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful Pub, Wonderful Atmosphere and absolutely spotless

Nothing special really but has got nice live music events and sports tv so not bad for alone evenings 😉

I love this pub. Me and my boyfriend visit often and find the staff very friendly and welcoming. There is also a lovely feeling of being part of the family here, with the landlady being so friendly a warm. We always enjoy our evenings here and will return regularly

Met friends in the Walnut tree before going into Maidstone for a meal. This pub has a lovely atmosphere, the pub dog greets everyone as they come in. There is a good selection of local ales and plenty of choice for ciders, beers, wines and spirits. There was a lovely wood fire burning to warm the seating area, all in all a good place to meet for a drink. Local bands play weekly and they have a good lineup for Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Lovely warm inviting place to drink!

Brilliant stand up comedy on Thursday nights, not to be missed!!

Burgers made to spec, more than satisfactory lunch

A real pub. Characters and a cute dog. Actually quite a few cute dogs. Decent pub grub. Just what we needed. Friendly and wonderfully traditional. Dont change.

Great old fashioned pub which supplies good beer and entertainment

Great staff, beer, good value food. Love it.

Lovely pub on the outskirts of Maidstone. Almost like being in a country pub. Friendly, welcoming and warm !

Friendly staff, perfectly decent pub grub, good selection and quality of drink. A very decent local in an area of slim pickings. If only it were half a mile nearer my house!

Super friendly staff and dogs are welcome too

Good local ale pub, proper pub, food pub grub. Nice beer garden. Would reccommend

Asked if my dog (On lead) was welcome in garden. She was fine until the resident dogs were let out. Made to feel very unwelcome by the landlady. Found a much better pub up the road. Won't return.

Proper pub great staff great beer great atmosphere on Friday nights band night great food what more do you want from a local

Lovely place and great service.

Typical English pub with lots of character. Food is good and very reasonably priced, the staff and landlords are always very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Lovely pup good atmosphere, good beer very friendly happy staff and the food is great.what more can you ask. Also live music and comedy club not sure of days

Its a very nice pub, landlady is very welcoming, overall a good atmosphere in,a nice setting

Lovely... popped in for a bit of lunch as new to the area. Nice food and very welcoming didnt feel out of place being on my own. Thank you

Good beer good staff good music

Lovely friendly staff and great service

A very much standard pub. A little old fashioned but the staff are nice and it's usually quite quiet so no queues! It has an open fire and a TV. Dogs welcome.

Great pub great comedy on Thursday

Bardzo miłe i przytulne miejsce. Na randkę idealne. Można się napić najeść no i przenocować.

Very friendly - good food; simple yet well cooked.

We were staying nearby for one night and called in for something to eat and drink. Our bar meal was very nice and the pub was small but very nice, the two resident dogs we saw were adorable

After reading these two reviews I felt compelled to agree and submit a review. I visited on at least two Thursday evenings to watch the comedy. I noticed that the landlady was very rude with customers, who in all honesty were making No Noise whatsoever!! She looks down her nose at everyone!! Heaven knows how she found herself in this industry, she should work in a Library!!

With free parking as it's out of town, nice environment

Dog friendly says it all. With a fireplace and jukebox!

Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The fact that is let friendly makes it our favourite local pub!

The Walnut Tree is an excellent pub for good company , good music and good beer!

Great pub , great atmosphere, great food

Popped in to use toilet, very welcoming despite the fact I wasn't buying anything xxx

Lovely traditional pub, open fire, great beer.

Great beers, staff and atmosphere. Fun comedy nights every Thursday and live music Friday night's.

Had a quick drink, lovely place! Next visit will be for the whole day!
