Relaxing break which was must needed away from stressful jobs , staff very friendly and the accommodation was great with a bed big enough for 4 , the food is cooked to order using local products, BBQ & Jerk chicken was just heavenly all so a pizza we had was so crisp not soggy just how I like it , atmosphere romantic especially listening to the live music

The bad: No Ales, only lagers on tap. No food apart from crisps these days. Toilets are small and dingy. The girl behind the bar didn't know what an IPA is.The good: If you like lager, sports on the telly and pool, it's a great place and the locals are quite friendly. Also you can go to the many takeaway places in the area and bring your food in and no one bats an eyelid.

Lashings is a nice sports bar just on the outskirts of Maidstone town centre. The atmosphere is relaxed and the Venue is split into sections so you do not have to just watch sports. There is dining available, cocktails and there are two pool tables.

Really nice establishment unfortunately owned by an egotistical selfish man who souly thinks of him self and not his customers totally Backwards in trying to establish a successful business which could be such a good venue for people to have an amazing night out but the due to the arrogant of the self centred owner being so selfish and acting on his egotistical machomistcal manly image his business is a total failure which is such a shame as the venue is really nice and comfortable just the owners arrogants let's it down from being a great bar /club night out in Maidstone such a shame as the bar could be so successful if managed professionally such a shame . ..

Good staff, reasonable prices, good for sports. Toilets could do with updating.
Good pool table. Although the lights above the table need moving. I bashed my head 4 times !!!

Open as late as you like and the staff are nice but people tend to be pretty far gone by the time they're there.

Our table of 6 were looking forward to Lashings’ return of their roasts which we used to enjoy on a regular basis before their refurbishment. With a price increase, it was worth it, had the quality been as good as it used to be. Unfortunately, this was not to be. To begin with, the table was dirty. So dirty that when the plates were collected at the end of the meal, there was a nice crisp, sticky sound effect as the plates were lifted from the table… which were collected before everyone had finished too. Not very good. When the meals began to arrive, the plates were hot which is excellent, but we then had to wait 10 minutes for cutlery, which when it arrived was all dirty and looked as though it hadn’t even been washed. We had to point this out to the waitress and she then returned 5 minutes later with clean cutlery, by which time the meals were just about warm. The roast itself, was very poor quality. The potatoes were barely cooked and not in the slightest crispy. Oh and 15 minutes after ordering the lamb, we were informed that there was no mint sauce, and were offered horseradish as an alternative. Those having beef on the table were catered for, but those with lamb were not. It was offered that they could pop to the shops to get some after the meals had been on the table for 10 minutes already…. The lamb was incredibly fatty, which you expect a certain degree, but if it has been cooked well the fat partially dissolves and leaves a fantastic flavour. Again, not the case here; what was left on the plate was half the portion of meat that was served. Those that had the beef said it had a good flavour, but some said that it was tough. It also comes with cauliflower cheese, which I appreciate lots of people enjoy, but I do not. So the cheese sauce which had spread across all the carrots (before the 15 minute wait for cutlery) meant that I couldn’t even try those. All roasts were served with onion gravy too - an odd choice to include with a roast dinner in my opinion, but I suppose others may enjoy it. All in all, we won’t be returning for a roast to Lashings, which is a shame as they used to be absolutely fantastic. Apparently the burgers are excellent, so perhaps try those.

A brief visit, the pub was clean and tidy, but also very quiet - we were the only customers at the time! (13:30ish on a Saturday) The drinks were average prices for a pub; that is to say expensive, but the service was prompt and friendly. I think food is served there in the evening, but if it's anything like the drink prices, I'd rather eat at a 'Spoons. The main seating area has a 'Patio' that opens onto Stone street - which is both a blessing and a curse; there's air flow, but it's tainted with exhaust fumes and there's the perpetual noise of trucks, buses and cars driving by.

Always made to feel welcome, great place to meet up with mates and have a drink or something to eat. Split screens to watch whatever sport you want.
