The White Horse in Maidstone

Had a wonderful evening celebrating 18th birthday party. We had a wonderful server, Tash who was lovely with the group, I Would definitely recommend.

This was our first visit to The White Horse and we will definitely be coming back. Our waitress was Tash and she was so lovely and attentive. Could not fault her service! The food was stunning and very accommodating for vegetarians!

Tash was absolutely amazing. Well done girl!

Great friendly service , lovely Sunday roast and desserts will be back soon!

We were served by Tash last night and she was lovely and very bubbly.

We hosted our son's christening here, and the service was flawless from beginning to end. Our guests had no complaints and praised the chef. A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly—an unforgettable experience.

Great food and fantastic service from Tash

Tash was an excellent waitress, looked after us very well and service with a smile.

How lovely to have such a bubbly, happy waitress in Tash - very attentive and helpful. Service with a smile. And the food was good too.

Had 2 Sandwiches and two halfs of lager shandy and the bill was £40.95! Sandwiches were toasted and on really small bread and no way worth the money. The two halfs of shandy were £6.25 each which is a bit pricey. Told it was London prices but Pub is in Bearstead! Sat in the conservatory on the side of the Pub which really needs refurbishing as it looks really shabby. Very disappointed with our choice of lunch date.

Came back off the whim as we didn’t have a great time a while back and my god what a change. The food was amazing .. big thanks to the manager Charlotte who took full control of our meal and just smashed it out the park. She even went and made our dessert so we didn’t have to wait. Just wish she was on the day we last visited feel things would have gone a lot different. Completely turned our bad experience around. What a girl. Thanks again hun x

Came for a family birthday, absolutely fantastic service from Char and Nadia - the food was amazing

We were here for a birthday meal and could not fault the whole evening. Char & Nadia were so wonderful and couldn’t do enough for us! Could not recommend enough! Such a great evening thanks to the staff! The food was absolutely delicious!!! Thank you xx

We had a wonderful birthday meal served by Char and Nadia who could not be more attentive and made the evening really special! Thank you for a lovely evening! An absolute must! Food was lovely and atmosphere gorgeous! Great country pub!

The white horse is a lovely pub with a very warm and relaxing atmosphere. The food was delightful and was topped off by our very helpful server. (Tash)

Great food and superb service. Thank you to Tash and Nadia 😃

Tash was lovely caring and very attentive first time coming to this place and enjoyed the drinks and the service was brilliant

We visited during our weekend away, really enjoyed our meal from the specials board which was good value for money. Sabrina looked after us throughout even though the pub was really busy.

Poor servíce. Food took 30 minutes. Must have been left under a heat lamp as burger bun was crusty. Waitress forgot the ketchup and the salad on second dish was on a very hot plate and was dry and old.

The food was not great at all. Ordered a chicken burger and it was dry and then I got it swapped for a beef burger which was also overcooked. For the price I really expected better. Not good.

Lovely food and excellent service thank you

Had the wine and dine menu for our anniversary and it was delicious. The lemon tart was exceptional and a perfect balance of sweet and sour. Tasha, or waitress was lovely and very helpful

Brilliant service and lovely food. Tash was very attentive and made the experience great! Would recommend 100%. Will be back.

Had a lovely lunch today with family, Tash our server was very friendly and accommodating. Tried the fish cakes which were lovely and very different to what Ive had at other restaurants, will definitely come back

Our waitress Tash was lovely! Made the experience really lovely and laidback — food was great too loved the croquettes!

Lovely as always — Tash was a delightful waitress and really elevated the experience for us! We will be back — thank you

Great food great service from Tash would definitely recommend

Wonderful meal and great service from Tash! Would recommend the fillet steak

Such a lovely place and amazing food, and brilliant waitress named tash! Definitely worth going, was also very child friendly

Had a lovely time with my friends tonight. Service was fantastic. Look forward to coming here again. Thank you for making our experience Tash

Out of this world Sunday roast, wonderful experience, lazy Sunday. Will definitely be revisiting

Lovely Sunday Roast. Our server Tash was very polite and attentive.

Amazing food, great service from Tasha and a cozy atmosphere! Everything was delicious, and the staff made us feel welcome. Will definitely be back!

Food was lovely and great customer service from Tash - highly recommend 👍🏼

Thank you Tash for making our dinner so lovely with your great service!

Had a lovely dinner, and our server Tash made the experience even better. As asset to your team!

food was cold but a fresh one was provided instantly. good service from louise. Thanks

18th birthday was lovely, food by chefs was leng. Head chef was a very good cook.

Catherine was amazing and served the most beautiful meal. Highly recommend the lamb rump!

Food was good. Service was a bit slow. Had to end the meal quickly as the 3 hours car park allowance was running out.

Great food and service By Hannah.

Great food and great service! Thanks Catherine!

Service was absolutely appalling. We were blatantly ignored. We booked a table for 2:45pm, arrived dead on time, table was not set up, so had to just stand around for around 15 minutes, but there was about 10 other free tables, which were not booked up. Finally, we got on the table, took them 30 mins to take out order, which was just a trio roast, then took almost another hour for this to come out. Other tables were being paid attention to, but when we were looking over, we were looked at also, but no acknowledgement. The menu 'suggests' bottomless gravy, but when we had to ask for more, we waited 10 mins for it - still didn't come to us, so we decided to then eat our then cold food... Again, took another 20 minutes before plates were taken, asked for bill at the same time, and just took ages once again. We originally ordered drinks at the bar, and the waitress tried to charge us for these also, bearing in mind she took our order in the first place.. Then she almost made us pay for another table. Finally we got the correct bill, but c.£45 just felt absolutely wasted. Extremely disappointing, and just does not seem as is they cared for their customers. I am never a person to moan but this was quite disgusting the way they treated us.

We were served by Tash and she was extremely helpful

Never know what you are going to get with delivery last week brilliant this week terrible does it depend what chef is on big shame as our local

Tash and Jess were amazing servers tonight!

Awful experience for my birthday. If there was a no star it would be that. For a bill worth over £210 for 5 Sunday dinners the food was basic and tasteless. We came for a good Sunday roast and were met with "Chef a la ping" food (microwave food). Ordering a bottle of expensive wine was then just dumped beside us in a cooler along with a bottle of water that we had to ask three times for which was literally thrown on the table. The cocktail we ordered tasted like soap water. The table felt sticky to touch and when we handed back very dirty side plates (not washed properly or even at all) along with three very dirty wine glasses the waitress simply took them from us without any apology. To add the nail in, after drinking alcohol (one bottle of wine and 1 cocktail) with our dinner as a group of adults we were asked for photo ID for one of our guests (24 years old) and refused any further purchases! The manager went on to state that it was company policy (doesn't matter about UK law when ordering food with adults). The service was terrible and the staff and manager clearly not trained sufficiently. It's places like this that put hospitality off as a career. My daughter has been ill since eating the burger while the bun was as hard as a brick.

Service from Tash was excellent.

Plates were dirty, with greasy finger prints all over it. Food was okay, but couldn’t overlook this. Chocolate bomb, really didn’t bomb, as the chocolate sauce was cold. However the service did make up for a lot as Tash was great throughput! Good atmosphere and music! Would come back again regardless!

Food was fantastic. The service from Tash was an excellent example of 5* customer service. Nothing was too much trouble and we loved that she had a smile on her face the entire time and took a genuine interest in us. Will definitely be returning! Thanks Tash you’ve been wonderful 🤩

Great food and great service! Would definitely recommend Catherine was great!

Loved the service from Gemma she was so kind and handled an extremely busy night perfectly while still chatting to us all. She made our day with her kindness. Food was incredible and came out so quickly. Loved the chicken burger.

Grabbed a drink. Didn't quite believe the prices when I first saw it but it is very cute inside

Had an amazing evening served by Tash. She was very attentive of us during our evening, checking in to ask how our food was. Busy but was served efficiently. Good value great food. Thank you

Very welcoming staff last thursday and the luncheon food was really excellent. DJ Hayter of Wrotham.

We were looking for a good Restaurant while on holiday in Kent and we found it. So much, so we went back twice and enjoyed the food and ambiance. The staff was really friendly, especially our lovely waitress Loanne who was a breath of sunshine with her amazing smile and her constant care in make sure we were happy with our meal. The fish dishes were excellent which I eat. I met the chief and I complemented him on his marvellous cuisine. The fish was excellently cooked not dry. but mouth watering soft. My husband had their home made beef pie the first time and the second time the steak all excellent. If we are back in Kent we will certainly be back again.

Anniversary lunch at The White Horse bearsted, great food, great service ,special thanks to Meg .I would recommend this venue and we will definitely be back.

Very nice food and great service from Catherine.

A lovely location and ambience. Such a shame about the long wait times for food. I hadn’t visited for a few years because the last time I went it took ages to be served but I thought I would give it another go. Sadly, it was another really long wait for food and there must have only been one or two ahead of us when we ordered at lunchtime. The kitchen clearly weren’t prepared for lunch service. We won’t be going again.

Delicious family lunch today. The service was excellent. We had a two year old with us, which was challenging. However, our waitress Jess was very attentive & understanding.

Great food, great staff. Would highly recommend the white horse to any one, will definitely be coming back again Tash the waitress was brilliant 👍🏼

Great good and service from Tash on a Friday night out with the lads. Would recommend to all for drinks and/or food. Burgers are banging.

Tash was a brilliant host, really good food will come again. Great atmosphere would highly recommend. The chicken was superb

Service was friendly & timely, with delicious food so The White Horse ticked all the boxes for us. Pub was reasonably busy which gave it a nice feel too.

Food quality leaves a lot to be desired.

No complaints about the food. The service was very slow, our table was booked for 12.45 our starters arrived quite promptly, we then waited 35mins for our main.

Great lunch at the white horse, fantastic service from Loanne. Really good with food allergies.

Had a lovely traditional English dinner and it was superb. Tash was very polite and her service was impeccable. Would 100% recommend this gastro pub.

Such a lovely meal with family, Tash did a great job making sure we had everything we need and was absolutely super. Thanks so much.

Abi was really friendly and helpful.

Excellent food, cannot recommend enough. Looking forward to coming back. Catherine was superb

The service was really good and everyone was so friendly. I never usually write reviews but I thought we should share our experience on the food here as we were staying in the area for the night. Unfortunately the food was not good. The mushroom starter looked inedible and the roast dinner just didn’t taste good, looked burnt. The food is quite expensive so you expect a certain standard but sadly I have nothing good to say about the food. We also heard other tables complaining about the roast dinners. Hopefully they can improve as waiter staff were lovely! The cocktails were delicious!

Bottomless brunch was great, choice of cocktails and Prosecco. Lovely food and kind staff.

Loanne served us and was really friendly and polite. Food was really nice and reasonably priced.

Had a lovely dinner for two. Food was excellent and the service from Abi was superb. Best waitress we’ve ever had!

We were welcomed by Tash this evening and she was probably the friendliest/smiliest waitress I’ve seen in a long time. She was friendly and attentive and the food came out very quickly. Would definitely come back again.

Great food and great service by Tash! She was great with our 2 year old too :)

Good choice on menu…portions were good. Loved the cocktail dessert. Reasonably priced nice atmosphere. I went to a Saturday night.

Tash was brilliant, so helpful and friendly, lovely service xx

Tash from the white horse was excellent!

Great foods, great service reasonably priced

Lovely fresh food-and plenty of it. The menu contained some old favourites and also some out of the ordinary new favourites! Great staff and great atmosphere.

We booked at the last minute and got a table The food was amazing, quality and taste was excellent I can’t fault the service we had from Tash and Sam they were very polite and friendly, they asked if we had allergies Tash and Sam made sure our experience was a good one Tom the manager was really great to talk to and had time for us I recommend The White Horse

The food was so good , very much recommend the Dirty burger and Chicken burger ! Tash and Louise were great!

Tash, Louise and Louis were great tonight! Great staff and amazing food. Come here every week !!

Tash took such good care of us.

The food was absolutely amazing and Tash and Louise were amazing staff, Thank you for everything. Will come soon!!

tash was a great waitress, brilliant service, creds to louise as well! thank you

Decent place to have a pint on a sunny afternoon. Opposite the village green and a short walk to the station. Excellent.

Lovely place to come to the service and atmosphere from the staff is always positive and welcoming, special mention to Paul, Fraser and Courtney.

Catherine was absolutely lovely, very helpful and kind. She checked on us multiple times throughout the meal - service and food was amazing.

Food was great. Excellent service by Tash

I'm afraid I'm not overly impressed. It looks good and has a lovely outside area and inside is pretty good too. It has a car park which is a bonus. The food and drinks are too expensive particularly as the food quality is not great. I have visited more than once before leaving this review because I believe anyone or anywhere can have a bad day. The pub is part of the Mitchell and Butler group which in my experience has varying standards. The Horseshoes in East Farleigh is part of the same group and in the same sub group too and we have always had good food and service there. If you like Bearsted , and we do cross the field to Oak on the Green for a far better experience. Visited on 21/07/2024: Sadly this pub is no better. Sat outside for a drink in the evening. The tables had a great deal of glasses and empty snacks packets that must have been waiting to be cleared for quite some time. There really seems to be a lack of attention to detail. There were also some dubious characters there who were loud and swearing gratuitously using very strong language.

Great night , although it was busy we had great service and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Abi looked after us all evening and was exceptional.

Abi was really helpful at serving our family, it was a big group and she was really on the ball, really accommodating and overall lovely experience

Such a lovely pub ! Great food, big up the chefs. Great atmosphere and staff. BASH !!! Your welcome Tom x

I can’t fault a Sunday lunch at the White Horse - staff excellent Paul (behind the bar) Charlotte serving us Courtney front of house birthday later in the month and on. Sunday I will be taking the family 👍👍

The service was terrific , with a friendly staff(especially Charlotte ) it’s a little lovely place to catch up with old friends, the atmosphere was regal and classy, recommend.

Booked a last minute lunch. Tash was a very attentive and friendly waitress, the food was yummy and the long island iced tea made for a great dessert! Will be back

Tash was great she was really attentive and couldn’t have done more for us!
