The Lion Of Kent - Maidstone

Been before and has good food, service was a bit slow had to wait for 1 hr before the meal turned up, not too good when i have 3 hungry kids asking how much longer as starving. overall would still come back.

Great food and very friendly staff, the only problem was a one hour wait for our food. The overall look and comfort of the Yeoman is very pleasing and we will definitely go again hopefully the food will not take so long next time .

Went out for a meal at the yeoman and I am very impressed how the improvements are showing. The fireplace gives the pub a cozy ambience and the staff really show how much they care. My friend has several allergies, so we were not sure what she could possibly have, the manager promptly offered to check with the chef what dish he would suggest for her. She fancied fish, so the chef cooked a dish that was not on the menu just for her. She loved it. As for me I had the lobster and as always it was perfect and tasty. Also I had the soup, mushroom with truffle oil! It was fantastic. Definitely coming back.

We were looking for somewhere around Maidstone that we could have a drink, relax and grab something to eat. We decided to give a try to the Yeoman, as one of my friends was there for a Sunday lunch last week.The waiter was very good, he even asked us to try some of his new iced coffee as the team are gathering some new ideas. We were made feel very welcome and sat there for a few hours just for a catch up. Finally we got hungry and shared a few of the dishes recommended by the manager. The lobster, the fillet , and halloumi won it for me. We will come back for sure. The food is lovely and made to order, and the atmosphere is great. Already booked next month for me and my friends to meet up in there. Looking forward for the new specials and coffees.

We decided to take the Yeoman up on their Burns night special. It was rather disappointing. There were a number of items that were not available, which ruled out several items on the set menu. The mains were ok, although the portions weren’t thought through. The server offered to correct it, but it was too late in the meal. The mains were overpriced for what you got. The desert was a real disappointment. We ordered Cranachan and were told there were no Raspberry’s. When it arrived the server owned up the chef hadn’t ever made it before. This was clear as it was just porridge with a strawberry on top. We weren’t charged for them in the end, but what the point of having a set menu if the chef can’t cook it. The service was very slow and we weren’t once asked for a drinks order. The manager was really nice and friendly, but that didn’t make up for what was a really disappointing meal.
