  “Popped in here on a Saturday afternoon. Very warm welcome from behind the bar. Plenty of parking. Beer selection was not amazing but well kept cask beer. Good mix of locals who are welcoming to newcomers. Came back for one of the band nights, which was good fun. Plenty of outside seating and open mic night on Sundays.”

  “I don’t usually write reviews, but Char at The White Horse in Bearsted deserves her own fan club. Walking in, you might think you’re just coming for a meal… but then Char happens. She has this uncanny ability to turn an ordinary evening into a full-blown comedy show while somehow keeping everything running like clockwork. Every visit feels like she’s orchestrating a secret mission of joy. She zips around with a sparkle in her eye, cracks jokes that hit just right, and somehow makes the whole restaurant feel like your living room — except with way better food. Honestly, we’ve left her section laughing so much we’ve had to walk it off. If there’s a gold medal for “most unforgettable server ever,” Char wins it every time. Eating here is great, but being served by Char? That’s next-level. You might come for dinner, but you’ll leave convinced you’ve just experienced a magical show disguised as a pub.”

  “This is a great traditional pub! NOT one pretending to be a restaurant and not a restaurant pretending to be a pub. I have to come across Maidstone and the trip is worth it to call this my new local. Two great real ales on draft and prices reasonable. I get a taxi but ample free parking. From the first visit I was made to feel welcomed. Just the best 👍🏻”

  “Have come to a 70th Birthday party this evening at The White Horse in Maidstone Kent. Amazing pub and very helpful. Also have a amazing pint of Guinness. It tastes just as good as a pint of Guinness in pubs in Ireland 👍🇮🇪👍”

  “Sunday night Open Mic night experience was very good. A good range of musicians attended and some great talent on display. Friendly bar and cozy but not inhibiting pub. There's limited free parking so best to get there early as they do get busy. Definitely worth a trip if you like local music.”

  “We booked the Festive menu for Sunday lunch. Our party of six was reduced to four but we were quickly accommodated with a smaller table shortly after arrival. We were seated in the annex upstairs. Immediately there seemed to be a lack of communication as our server was unaware of the menu we had chosen and the drinks that accompanied it. The starters arrived reasonably promptly and were okay. The festive menu price allowed for main menu items to be chosen without supplements. When asked for our choice of mains we were told that the steak option was not available. This was the premier option which came with a £7.50 supplement if not choosing the premier package. The alternative options arrived which had to be returned as the pork belly was not cooked properly and nor did it match the description set out in the menu. The server agreed to offer alternative options but we were then told "no salmon". The turkey dinner replacement arrived within the 10 minutes promised but was poor. There was no front of service personnel available throughout the service. Even after letting the server know we wouldn't be staying for deserts our plates remained uncollected for at least 15 minutes whilst what personnel was around wandered around other tables aimlessly and with any sense of urgency or customer service knowhow. We were given a suitable reduction to our bill but left knowing that the management do not care about the quality of the food that they put out. We were not provided with any apology. Poorly run lunch service, maybe the pub is attempting too much trying to deliver a menu they simply do not have the capacity for. Avoid.”

  “Very busy in the garden you need to book in advance for a weekend table. As friendly and hospitable as ever under trying circumstances.”
