The best restaurants in Marden and Yalding Maidstone South East

A must visit when in yalding, the most delicious sandwiches freshly prepared for you, and divine brownies too. Customer service is excellent, friendly and welcoming. A real gem.

Proper social club. Lovely staff and keen prices.

I had a very enjoyable meal with great and friendly service, good choice of meals, very happy

It was quiet at the time we visited. The staff were friendly, the food was faultless.

Such a lovely little pub and accommodation. Staff were friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Great place to stay if you are attending an event at The Gardens, Yalding

A charming pub, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere Very accommodating when we gave them hardly any notice for a booking for food. They have a separate menu for Gluten Free and very knowledgeable about it. Food spot on. It was great to reminisce as first time we had visited for over 50 years. Thank you

Still great food. Tuesday and Sunday are discount nights with multiple dishes, starter, main, bread or rice plus side. Chicken tikka is still a favourite.

Me, my mother in law and my daughter had an absolutely amazing Carvery at The Hop Pole today. A huge portion of lovely food for a great price! We followed up lunch with a few drinks in the beer garden where my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the bouncy castle that they have at the top of the garden. Despite the issues with a burst water main early this morning meaning no running water in Yalding, Nettlestead & surrounding areas, the staff were so efficient with ensuring the pub had plenty of bottled water. And the Carvery was still one of the best I’ve ever had. Everyone was so welcoming and the pub has an amazing atmosphere to it. Would definitely recommend to family & friends! In fact we’ve booked in another table for next Sunday’s Carvery! Thank you to the entire team at The Hop Pole😊

A hidden gem in the Kent Countryside, our first visit. On arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff, professional and made you feel very welcome. We were seated in the bar area where we had a pre lunch drink, I highly recommend trying one of their cocktails, i tried The Gardens Toffee Apple and it was Amazing! We then entered the Tipi which is a fabulous space, nice ambiance, lovely well spaced tables, we then had the Sunday Roast, it was Fantastic, well executed, and tasted Amazing! The portion size is perfect, you will not be disappointed. Service is very efficient, and you feel looked after. We will definitely be returning, and we highly recommend you visit to experience this amazing place.

We had a lovely Baby Shower at The Old Post Office Coffee House Marden. Delicious afternoon tea and great, helpful team who was very happy to accommodate all of our needs. Thank you again! All the best! Jana

Fantastic home cooked treats both savory and sweet. Coffee amazing and view of the river from your seats. Perfect scenario on summer's day

Perfect - and such a wide choice on the menu - we will be back (this was our second recent visit anyway)

We have lived locally for a few years and we have had a take away meal from Zarda Cottage before, but never eaten in house. We did this Saturday and were very impressed with the service and the quality of the meal

Excellent attraction, so many wonderful teapots to see and great food.

Each time recently the chicken has been tough as boots. I thi k the meat is frozen and microwaved as the centre of the dish has been cold. Next time, if there is, I will go veggie. Friendly staff.
