A
Beefeater pub/restaurant between Maidstone and the M20 on the London Road.
The restaurant is on your left hand side as you enter the building and the
premises have been completely refurbished since my last visit some four
years ago. It's much more a restaurant and pub than a pub that serves
food. The menu has recently received a makeover and there are separate
menus for lunchtime and dinner.
Sandwiches, wraps, baguettes
and melts fall in the £4.50 - £5.50 price range and there is a wide
choice, all are served with chips. Starters is the area where I think
Beefeaters have improved the most in recent years. I can recommend the
Lamb Koftas with sour cream dip. All the old favorites are still on the
main course menu but I think the Lemon Chili Chicken is a pretty good
choice; a large chicken breast with a generous portion of moist rice.
It's not Haute Cuisine but
you'll find good service, well presented food and attentive staff in the
restaurant and bar. There is a kids menu as well as a number of offers so
ask before you buy. Portions are pretty good and prices fair on a like for
like comparison. If you haven't been to this place for a while it's worth
trying out. We two ate a starter and main course each for under £40
(without drinks), If you don't have time for a meal try the Tuna and
Black Olive Melt, they are delicious.
