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

1st time here have to say will come again what a pleasant experience food excellent very polite A+++++

Service with a smile! Arrived just after 12 mid week and we hadn’t made a booking but wasn’t a problem getting a table. The restaurant got busier whilst we were there; however, the waitress didn’t ever make you feel like you were being annoying. She checked in with us throughout the meal, confirmed we had made good choices and got takeaway boxes. Nothing was too much of a problem

Highly recommend the bell. Food is delicious and service is perfect. Our server, Sue, was lovely! Big smile and excellent service! We will definitely be coming back.

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.

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.
