I recently visited the café with my children after a trip to the museum. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment and did not live up to the friendly staff. I ordered a children's lunch box, but the bread was stale and dry, and the cheese filling was too big and made it difficult to eat. There were limited options for my 16-month-old to eat, which was disappointing considering most museum visitors are families wi... View all feedback.

Nestled next to the Maidstone Museum, the Deli Café presents a mixed dining experience for families. While the staff are praised for their friendliness and the café boasts a lovely atmosphere, food quality often disappoints. Many patrons report stale bread and uninspiring, pre-packaged sandwiches, with limited options for young children. The menu lacks coherency, as some advertised items are not available. However, those who delve deeper may discover locally sourced treats, fresh sandwiches, and enticing desserts. Overall, this café has potential but requires significant improvements in food quality and menu clarity to truly enhance the visitor experience.
