Stayed April 2015, traveled with friends: "Engineer was on his way, and the staff saved the day."…read more When we arrived, we were greeted by a very welcoming gentleman who informed us that the heat was out but they had an engineer on his way. He gave great instructions on how to use the security key, where our room was, and the times for the dining hall. We took the flight of stairs, were easy to climb and didn't have that many steps to them, but they weren't very wide. Getting the door open, and maneuvering your luggage out of the way, could provide a hazard of falling down the staircase if you weren't careful or under the influence. Our room had two rooms to it, a sitting area and the bedroom. The sitting area had a couch, table, and a fireplace. Off of it was the bathroom. The bathroom was petite and the shower was enclosed by 4 walls. There was an alcove from the sitting room that leads into the bedroom area. There were 2 twin beds, flanking the window, along with a wardrobe, end table, chair, and small desk next to another fireplace. Next to one of the beds was a door, which reminded me of an old barn door. We ate in the dining room, near roaring fire in the fireplace. We shared a bread board starter: rustic breads, served with English herb oil and butter. It was a Wednesday and their special at that time was homemade pies, so I ordered the chicken pot pie and my friend had the cheese pie. Both were equally delicious. Finally, I had creme brulee for dessert. There were actual pieces of raspberry embedded in the custard, which I was not aware of but it was adequate just the same. Our server Jane was incredible. She talked us through all the different sauces, made small talk with us, answered all our questions with ease, was attentive, pleasant, and just an overall easy going person. She informed us that tipping was not required at the establishment, but we - as Americans - felt she deserved one after how remarkable our overall meal and experience was due to her service. We had the complementary breakfast here, and it was the standard Innkeeper's Lodging of: granola bars, yogurt, juices, coffee, breads, fresh fruit, and cereal. You can order off the hotel's menu for an extra charge. All in All, the room was easily spacious for 4 people, had an attached sitting room for relaxation and personal time. The bathroom was lacking but the dining room made up for it. The service was impeccable, and the meal was superb. I would definitely stay here again.

Very pretty and relaxing pub though, due to too few staff, service can be slow. The wait staff that…read moreserved us, however, were very pleasant. The food itself was flavoursome though two of the mains had quite tough meat. That was probably again due to a lack of staff in the kitchen to keep a close eye on things. To counter that, the Merlot & Steak pie was one of the best pies I have had and I wholeheartedly recommend it. All round, good value (3 courses for £10.50) and we will definitely give it another shot in the future.

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.

The table was sticky and dirty and the waitressing service left a lot to be desired. We were waiting over 20 minutes before even being asked if we wanted a drink. Another choice from the Harvester chain, but no more. This really does need to pick itself up.

Harvester used to be my restaurant of choice, but not anymore!…read more It is often dirty, with tables left uncleaned for ages. For example I saw one table whose occupants had long gone left for at least twenty minutes before it was cleaned. This was during peak times in which the table could have been used for another couple. Service is really slow and you will often be left waiting for at least 45 minutes for your food. Then another 45 minutes after to get your bill. Before you even sit down you will have to wait at least 20-30 minutes for them to find you a table. The chicken can often be very pink so I'd advoid it if possible. On the plus side they're quite cheap and have a salad cart!

The only thing stopping me from giving a 5 star rating is that on a couple occasions, the food has been cold or half raw. This may sound rubbishy, but I can assure that this was on a really busy night and hasn't happened for many months. This has never affected me but has affected my family. I would strongly recommend the BBQ Ribs.
