The best restaurants serving British food in Boxley Maidstone South East

Another lovely meal christmas menu this time, food always good and served hot, service amazing and a friendly atmosphere thankyou

After living in Maidstone for nearly 10 years why did I wait so long to visit. This in my opinion is probably the best gastro pub in the local area. We were welcomed with the warmest of welcomes from the team of friendly staff. But what you really want to know is how good the food is which is nothing short of exceptional. Not the cheapest but comparable to similar gastro pubs in the area and when the quality of service and food is as good as it was I don’t mind paying. Looking forward to my next visit, 11 out of 10! Absolutely first class!! just moving locally

I COULD NOT RATE THIS PLACE ENOUGH! Tucked away like a hidden gem, The Yew Tree is the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer. This quaint little bar effortlessly blends charm with character, offering an inviting atmosphere, top-notch service, and food that surprises and delights. The menu may be small, but every dish is crafted with care and packed with flavour. From hearty pub classics to thoughtfully curated small plates, the food here is a perfect balance of comfort and quality. Their signature dishes—whether it’s a rich, slow-cooked stew or a perfectly crisped fish and chips—are a testament to their dedication to quality ingredients! Warm lighting, rustic wooden beams, and a crackling fireplace (in the cooler months) make The Yew Tree feel like home. Whether you’re nestled in a cozy corner with a good book and a pint or enjoying lively conversation with friends at the bar, the ambiance is both welcoming and intimate. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and you can truly relax. The staff at The Yew Tree are what make this place truly special. Friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they do, they go out of their way to make every guest feel like a regular. Whether you need a recommendation on the menu or just a warm chat, their hospitality is second to none. If you’re looking for a bar with character, heart, and a touch of magic, The Yew Tree is it. A perfect spot for a quiet evening or a lively weekend gathering, it’s the kind of place you’ll find yourself returning to again and again. Highly recommend!

Very disappointed with our meals today, chips were dry, chicken skewer was soggy and cold, vegetables were burnt. Salad bar had very little option. And unfriendly staff. Won't be going there again.

this is a great place to go for lunch so much verity of food and lots of places to sit. The food and the service was really good we was served by sue

When I arrived I was greeted very cordially, taken to a table, informed that my waiter would be over shortly and left. So far so good. My waiter appeared with a menu and inquiry as to my drinks order. He returned with my drink and then promptly disappeared. I heard him introduced to other prospective diners as their waiter so it looked like he was the only one. I keep seeing him making drinks at the bar, watched by what it seemed were at least another two barmen who didn't do anything to help. There seemed to be a distinct of urgency when it came to the waiter taking food orders so I drank up, went to the bar to pay for my drink and walked down the road to the Beefeater where I got something to eat.

Staff very friendly and efficient. Food nice and as expected for a hotel grill/bar/restaurant. But seriously the prices? £18.49 for an average burger and chips? These are prices you would expect to pay for a burger at a very nice restaurant not at at a restaurant at The Village. It was no wonder it was almost empty except for a load of people in fancy dress who I guess were off to a Christmas "Do" in your function room.
