The best restaurants in Staplehurst Maidstone South East

Amazing service. I went in with a lady I support and the staff were very helpful. We were greeted by Abby who asked if we needed a table close for ease of walking. An alternative portion size menu was offered. Its not very often you see this but it's nice to see such awareness for these needs. Thank you Abby and your colleagues.

Table of 2 Saturday night 7pm November Service was great, very fast, very helpful polite staff but unfortunately that's the only positive thing about this review. seating is not great, not intimate at all, the only way I could describe our table is that it was down the middle aisle, with tables on both sides of metal rails. The tables were so close to each other we may as well have been a table of 4 with the strangers next to us. The table next to us was separated by waist high metal rails, but was so close to us we could hear all of their conversation as they could ours, no privacy at all. The restaurant could at least stagger the tables so that they are not as close or directly next to each other, honestly I cannot stress now how uncomfortable it was, and we found it very intrusive. We had high expectations for the food having eating in the lir steak restaurant, but the food was disappointing. Lamb very dry, chicken very very dry and the sag paneer had four bits of cheese in it! Flavour were ok. Over all wasn't anything special and we were left disappointed, for that reason we wouldn't return or recommend.

It was a really great experience, right from phoning our booking . Really great staff, very friendly, attentive and informative. The steaks were cooked to perfection, exactly as we'd ordered. There was a good choice of sides and sauces and the wine list was comprehensive and really good value. There was a really nice feel to the place and it was very relaxed. There was no feeling of being rushed. We will definitely be back and would recommend it highly.

Had the special, Steak&Stilton pudding. Stuffed full of steak and I loved the suet pudding. Just how it should be. Great range of food generally. The staff are always helpful and the food is always tasty and plentiful

Staff were excellent. Food not. Mushrooms cold , beans warm , bacon not cooked properly very fatty. Overpriced for what we ate. Would I visit again. No.

Two of us came here on spec on a dreary Wednesday lunchtime. At first sight we almost didn't go inside because it looked rather shabby but while sitting in the car park trying to decide whether to risk it, two people arrived and we asked if they'd ever eaten there which they assured us they had and they'd never had a bad meal. On going inside we received a warm welcome from the Landlord, ordered our food which turned out to be delicious (lamb chops for one of us and the salmon in lemon sauce for me). The chips, potatoes and vegetables were well cooked and the desserts (sticky toffee pudding/plum crumble) were very good too. Service was excellent. It's clearly a pub the locals value because lots of people arrived while we were there and were greeted as friends yet we didn't feel like outsiders at all. Yes, the decor is dated and the fencing outside a bit ramshackle but we couldn't fault anything about the food or service. I'd like to see the front door have a coat of paint because that was the most off-putting thing and made us hesitate as to what to expect inside. Go in, you won't be disappointed. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g1936909-d3206542-r973226471-The_Lord_Raglan-Staplehurst_Kent_England.html#

Ordered take away for 4 people. All food ordered was good. Order was ready quickly. Would order from here again.

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.

World's worst Chinese I've ever had dry plain taste of oli throughout uncrispy batter.. pan cake roll is absolutely horrible
