The best restaurants in Marden and Yalding Maidstone South East

Once again fantastic food alongside fantastic service Highly recommended we will continue use this restaurant it is Outstanding!!!!!!

This is the second time that we have visited for breakfast and it is one of the best cafes around this part of Kent. The quality of the food served is excellent and the service is excellent. It's actually fantastic to find a café now that has excellent service! The sausage muffin was lovely - with good quality sausages and the espressos that we had were strong and tasted good. The whole cafe has a lovely atmosphere and is spotlessly clean. The servers are very attentive and helpful. Definitely one of our favourite places to come for breakfast - I must try the cakes next time I come!

Was ok I had the whitebait (I've had bigger potions), which was nice and loaded fries. Hubby had the ham egg and chips would have liked bread and butter or a roll and butter but we wasn't allowed! We was told a wait of 30 minutes which was ok as it was it turned up earlier. It was nice in the sun 🌞 watching the river flow past.

Lovely old pub, great place to stop for a Sunday drink. Very good pump cider and a light and bitter! Very warm welcome, didn’t eat today but will be back

Hurray, new owners have taken over. The pub us back on its feet with a new owner who has kicked out all the riff-raff. Kitchen has had a revamp and food is now being served again. Great to gave another pub in the village. Not tried the food yet.

Walnut Tree and The George CLOSED Boat House offers a friendly good quality riverside stop for lunch and drinks.Bus service to war memrial from maidstone and walk accross the meadow.

Nb .that’s not a photo of the RR above ! It’s a rather tatty old shed , a few dark and gloomy tables inside the shed , rarely used, most people sit outside. There are outside seats for maybe 80 people or more . It’s in the middle of a small marina boatyard , surrounded by boats on the ground. It is quite pleasant on a nice sunny day to sit with a tea and gaze at the swans , ducks etc on the Medway. On a Wednesday evening in the summer, 5-9pm you get maybe 100 bikers there. Very friendly and sociable , mainly old geezers on classic bikes. Like me ! Downsides : over priced for what it is. Compared to Blackheath tea hut , particularly. A tea and cake is £7. Burgers and chips around £13. Quality is ok rather than wonderful. My personal bugbear is the lack of proper toilets. Just a plastic portaloo. Yuk. Ok for a break , on a sunny day. If you want better, head on up to the teapot island cafe in yalding.

We were here in the area for a weekend and looking at the reviews of various pubs opted to try The Unicorn. We weren’t disappointed - from the friendly greeting to the roaring log fire in the corner, we felt very much at home. There was a good choice on the menu and the prices were pretty reasonable. Food was absolutely delicious and portions so large we couldn’t manage a dessert. We will definitely come back again next time we are in the area and I recommend everyone else to do the same as it’s a lovely little pub.

Whilst shopping in the Milbrook Garden Centre, we called in for a drink. The last time we were here, dogs were not welcome (although they are welcome throughout the rest of the garden centre). This has now changed because the cafe now has its a dog friendly room. There's a good choice of drinks and snacks.

Really poor , chicken balls over done , noodle's didn't taste right , eventually had a bad stomach from it Won't be going again
