Blackthorn Garden Restaurant in Maidstone

Gorgeous place. Staff kind and friendly. Good tea and cake or lunch if wanted. Lovely gardens

One of my favourite places for a comfortable lunch, tea and cake, or whatever. No longer solely a veggie menue, often home cooked meat dishes and always fresh and interesting salads. Large, refurbished second-hand shop and super range of home grown plant specimens and bedding for sale in the two greenhouses - cold and heated. Loads of outdoor seating in the gardens as well. You may fall in love with the place!

Good clean small restaurant area, lovely battered fish (with skin removed) and excellent large, non oily, chips.

Meet up with some ladies I have just got to know through my Nextdoor app. The area is very new to me as I only moved to Teston a year ago.The cafe is a nice comfortable place to visit prices are very reasonable. We normally meet up once a week.

Lovely gardens and cafe serving delicious homemade food

Recently finished these gardens are designed as somewhere to sit while having lunch from the cafe or as a safe place to rest the mind and soul. The Blackthorn Charity helps people with improving their mental wellness. The produce from the garden is used by the cafe, their is also an online charity site.

Lovely cafe with all fresh food. Peaceful garden with plants for sale. There's a charity shop to support the establishment and its excellent work.

Beautiful place, fantastic plants and gifts to buy for good prices.Delicious homemadefood and such lovely friendly service and place to be. Highly recommend.

The most wonderful therapeutic garden, a true haven on the outskirts of Maidstone (Barming, St Andrew's Road) its cafe now transformed with more outdoor spaces with Deli counter offering heavenly cakes, snacks and light lunches. Prepared by co-workers and those facing long term challenges, the gardens are biodynamic/organic, the produce positively bursting with life forces!This is an oasis of calm and recuperation in a hectic world.
