Countryside Pubs

Many of the countryside pubs are the hub of the local community and have a great atmosphere. In the summer you can sit outside in the sun and take in the views, sights and smells of the Kentish countryside and in the winter you can cosy up and keep warm inside with the fire going and candles lit.In the surrounding countryside there are some delightful traditional inns and family friendly pubs to be discovered including The Malta, The Bull Inn, George and Dragon, The Black Horse and many more.

Kentish Ales and Beers

To sample some of Kent's local wines, beers and ciders, ask your bar tender - many of the pubs in Maidstone serve locally produced drinks. Maidstone has a history of brewing and Goachers Brewery remains in town and provides local brew to local hostelries. You will also find Shepherd Neame Brewery, which is England's oldest brewer, not far from Maidstone, offering famous and exceptional beers which you must try such as Spitfire, Master Brew, Bishop's Finger, Kent's Best, Old 1066, Gold Star and many more.
