    We were lucky enough to be invited to a tasting session at Bill's the day before it opened in…read moreMaidstone. What a treat! The decor is lovely - the reclaimed wooden panels, the rustic chandeliers, the retro lamps, and the comfortable seating, all make for wonderful surroundings. The table we were given (33) was perfect (we had a pram) and we were provided with a high chair. We all had to order different things from the menu and this was not difficult as there are so many lovely things to choose from. Our waiter was friendly (especially with our 7 month old guest) and made us feel welcome. Nibbles - we had halloumi sticks. Very crispy and served with a lovely smokey mayonnaise dip. Starters - bacon and avocado salad. Served in an awkward bowl but otherwise tasty and fresh. Duck salad - tasty but I wouldn't order again. The dressing was very much like a brine, which was odd. Something like soy and sesame oil might have been nice. Squid - delicious. Crispy, not chewy, the lemon was nice. Perfect. Chicken in a jar - one of our Bill's favourites. My husband orders this almost every time. It's buttery and smooth & delicious. Should come with more toast as we can never finish the jar! The chutney that comes with it is also delicious. My favourite part, in fact. Mains - piri piri chicken. This was the best thing I've had at bill's. It was delicious. I don't usually order chicken, but we wanted to try something from the grill and it was too early for red meat. It was smokey, a little spicy, the sides were perfect. Winner. Sea bass - as recommended by our waiter - this was given a 10/10 by our table. Cod & chips - the fish was over cooked but the batter wasn't crispy, the mushy peas were barely warm. But the pickled onions went down well. Overall a good dish. Bill's burger - consistently good. Good that you. Can request it medium or well done. Always well seasoned and this time was no exception. Kid's meal - pita, hummus, carrot sticks, and cucumber - all average fare, our 7 month old guest enjoyed it. A little pricey at 5.95 Drinks - all drinks were fine; pink soda, orange juice, latte, elderflower cordial (maybe too much fruit?) - all good. Overall a great experience and it fits in well with all the Bill's restaurants we've been to before. Lovely atmosphere, good lighting and great waiting staff.

    Bill's is new to Maidstone so we thought we would go try it out…read more First of all - the décor and interior is so cute and quirky! From the tiny salt and pepper shakers to the chillis hanging from the ceiling. A lot of attention to detail. The drinks menu looks like one of the best - normally non-alcoholic drinks consist of coke or lemonade but it was nice to see some different variations. One of my friends ordered a pink lemonade that looked so good! There was a rhubarb drink on there I would like to try sometime. I wasn't driving so ordered the Hedgerow Fizz cocktail - it was yum! Would recommend! I skipped starters and went straight in for the main. I ordered the Halloumi and Hummus burger with fries. Delicious and would definitely order again! I do like a veggie burger but sometimes find them quite dry - this was not. This was one of the best veggie burgers I've had. For dessert I ordered a mango sorbet. This was yum but I think I would have liked to have seen a few more flavour options. My sister in law had the mini cinnamon doughnuts with chocolate sauce so I think I will have that next time. All in all - looking forward to going back.

    Visited The Queens Arms while in the area. Best pub experience! I think you have to get there early…read moreif you are coming for dinner or you have to reserve your table. I'm not sure on that, it's just something I thought we caught on to before we left and there started to be RESERVED tents going on the tables. We went and had Scotch Egg, Calamari, Arancini, fish & chips and STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. Oh. My. Goodness! First the Scotch Egg. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but it was....ok. It was a little plain. A little tasteless. They could have thrown a few spices into the meat, just a little something. To say that we've made better at home wouldn't be far out. But still good. The calamari was cooked just right. It's what you expect out of a calamari appetizer. Was it the best you'll ever have? Not really. Worth the price? Add it to your appetizer list! The rice balls, which is arancini is, were good. Add a little salt to the top and they were, also, as you'd expect. The fish & chips were exactly as we were hoping when visiting an English Pub for fish & chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, the coating was fabulous, and of course the chips were a perfect compliment to the fish. A great fish & chips experience. The star of the show was the Sticky Toffee Pudding. What a treat! Granted I've nothing to compare it to, this was my first time having it, but whether I've had it before or not THIS was perfection. Perfect texture, the flavour was amazing, the caramel drizzle was perfectly proportioned, and the little bit of ice cream on the side was just perfect. I would go back here simply on this dessert alone. As for the drinks, because, you know, it's a pub....I couldn't say. I don't drink alcohol but my Diet Coke was great! Fresh bottle! ....I suppose I could have gotten a non-alcoholic beer. Wait....did they have non-alcoholic beer there? SOMEONE FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE NON-ALCOHOLIC BEER THERE. The atmosphere was great. I can see how it would be perfect in the evening and on into the night. Very welcoming with a great looking bar.

    Food is always superb. Its best to make reservations because it is a busy place every time we have…read morebeen.
