Quick info
About La Taberna
La Taberna is a Spanish tapas restaurant on Earl Street in Maidstone, run by owners from Cádiz. The kitchen focuses on traditional tapas, with patatas bravas and paella among the dishes served alongside smaller plates, and churros with chocolate offered for dessert. Service is walk-in, and the room takes both small groups and larger parties. A terrace at the front extends the seating out toward the building's street-facing frontage, and the town centre sits within a short walk. Fremlin Walk is the nearest parking option for visitors arriving by car.

“Lovely restaurant. The staff are great and welcoming, the food is great, and it's in a lovely building close to the town center and fremlin walk for parking. The selection of tapas is pretty good, and always cooked well. They have a great open space and are good option for larger parties and smaller dining options.”

“Muy buena experiencia. Hemos estado comiendo con mi familia y mi niño pequeño y nos ha encantado. El sitio está muy bien, muy bonito y el ambiente muy bueno. Nos hemos sentido como en casa, muy agusto. El personal es increíble, mi niño se lo ha pasado muy bien. La comida es de muy buena calidad, nos ha encantado todo lo que hemos pedido, las patatas braviolis nuestro plato favorito y la paella muy rica (lo recomiendo), de postre pedimos unos churros con chocolate. Es como estar en España en el corazón de Maidstone. Nos hubiera gustado aprovechar la terraza que tenía buena pinta pero nos hizo mal día. ¡Sin duda volveremos!”

“Fui aquí por la curiosidad de un restaurante español en reino unido y la verdad que me sorprendió gratamente. La comida se sentía como en casa y todo estaba super bien . Me atendieron super bien y fue muy divertido descubrir que los dueños son de Cádiz pero se cambiaron a reino unido. El lugar es super bonito y encima tiene una terraza muy grande y muy bonita. Perfecto para una cerveza y tapas.”
