The best restaurants in Maidstone South East

Tried to order online at 8pm as the website said they were open till 10, but minutes later got a message from Just Eat saying the restaurant had cancelled the order. Clearly they are busy enough to not need more customers!

A very warm welcome! Food was so lovely! Would definitely recommend . This restaurant needs some local vibes. Hosts are nice, friendly and proud of their food!

I have to say, the food (the little we had of it) was very nice, however the portion size was absolutly ridiculous, less than half a tray of each main meal, apart from the rice. It is very expensive for the portions that you get. I have been her a few times to give it the benefit of the doubt, to see if it was a one off but each time they are getting smaller and more expensive. I will not go again. It is a shame as the food is genuinely nice. I often eat chinese but have never paid so much for so little. Very disappointing.

Great village pub. Unfortunately no more fillet steak on the menu, but there are other steak options. Overall menu options are typical country pub, but always cooked to perfection. Friendly staff and a welcoming pub.

Donner kebab was burnt so was the burger but when arrived it was stone cold given me and my partner stomach ache would not recommend

We have had a fantastic stay and dining experience at the Hawkenbury. Staff are friendly and chatty. The breakfasts are great. Loved the variety in the continual breakfast. The cooked breakfast was also superb. We dined in the restaurant on the first day of the new Summer menu. The new menu was the best pub menu we’ve seen in our 5 weeks travelling around the UK. Pub favourites plus some interesting other options. Reasonable prices too. My husband was thrilled to see mussels on the menu, and it was a generous serve. My pasta dish was delicious and perfectly cooked. Overall the food is fresh and tasty and is obviously made with quality ingredients. The service is fast and friendly. One of the best things is the Inn’s cat, who is happy to be petted at all times.

McDonald's is McDonald's, it's not a brilliant restaurant for service and speed but the food is what you expect and the added bonus of having a drive through when you're hangry and need something there and then to stop the inner food monster from breaking out.

Had gammon egg and chips cooked well some of it cold .could do with more chips condiment bottles empty .staff rude and abrupt .if asked anything .. Took cups off table while still eating so had to go and ask for them back as refills .did not go down well . Asked if allowed more soya sauce with chicken said she would go and get it. did not return . asked second waitress said needed to be paid for which is fair but at least say so dont just not return Staff obviously busy and had really bad attitude

WENT THERE FOR LUNCH MIDWEEK. STAFF VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY, CHOSE HAM EGGS AND CHIPS. HAND CUT CHIPS, BUT UNDER COOKED, AND OILY. HAM WAS FINE, EGGS COULD HAVE BEEN DONE A LITTLE MORE, BUT THAT'S POSSIBLY DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE. PROBABLY NOT A PLACE TO RETURN TO, WOULD HAVE EXPECTED A BETTER EXPERIENCE.

I get a business can close whenever they want. But 20 mins early is upsetting. What makes it worse is the staff inside just laughed when I tried the door and it was locked.

Domino's is the best pizza chain, a regular customer. The Barming store has The Sizzler pizza which is our favorite. Also have tried all their sides, recently had the Korean BBQ wings and Double chocolate and caramel cookies which were good. Their garlic dip is too good.

Food was very tasty but portion size was small. Delivery was 40 minutes which wasn't to bad.

AWFUL COFFEE ,High price.I think it's disgusting that the hospital's own coffee shop was replaced by this chain!

UPDATE… This store has been run into the ground, the lovely staff members have all left, one very nice young man “sacked” for a pathetic reason. We now go to Sainsbury’s and buy large rolls and fillings and make our own. What can one say.... it’s a big roll with filling. Staff mostly friendly. Can run low on fillings towards the end of the day.

The food was good to be fair but the main reason for the review is to compliment the staff and in particular Sharon H. Such a lovely warm lady who always has a smile on her face and makes you feel so welcome! Many thanks Alex
