Malta Inn Beefeater Grill in Maidstone

Nice place to meet up with friends. Lovely setting right by the river and a great outdoor space too.Food is okay and the lunchtime menu is very reasonable. I liked the fact that they didn't hustle you to get away from the table and we had a lovely long leisurely lunch with friends we hadn't seen in ages. Would recommend.

Once a very nice place for a drink and a meal not so now, very disappointing whats become of it. Still a cracking location that's been 'let go' by present owners.Now very tired and tatty indeed. Filthy inside, threadbare carpets, not very welcoming, needs a deep clean. The exterior is very run down too.Very busy although I can't see the attraction anymore?Food overpriced and very underwhelming, good service though.

Lovely visit on 18/3/22 for food & drink on a sunny afternoon. We originally sat outside by the river, however it was a bit more chilly then we thought. We headed inside to eat and our food was tasty. I had the Salmon, my husband the Steak & Ale Pie and my daughter enjoyed the stack burger. All cooked to perfection. Tried the spicy cola ( see pic )for the first time and this drink was so amazing! 😋🥃🥧🍔🍟

Food here was quite nice, drinks were far from pocket busting, i love the option of indoor and outdoor settings, not to mention its right near the lake which makes for a gorgeous lunch near sunset. The inside is also very spacious and filled with friendly staff. RECOMMEND TRYING!

It's in a lovely area, you have the river running alongside, a rather large building with plenty of seating for adults. I say adults as they seemed to be limited to about 4 baby seats... that's my positives here.We arrived lunch time, expectadly busy, we got a table straight away, being a Sunday we wanted the roast but you can't order that online apparently... So we queued. We queued 20minutes to order, sat down and waited..... And waited.... And waited. 1 hour for 2 adult meals and a child meal to arrive. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. The drinks, we got ourselves in the long queue... But to top up your refillable drink, you'd have to wait in that long queue again.... We arrived 1pm, we left 3.45pm. family of 4. A 3 yo and 10mo.I don't normally complain about wait times especially during a busy time, but this really got us good.

Very disappointed with Malta Inn, went for birthday meal 6 Jan 2022Had to look for someone at reception, not a good welcome.Food was not good the new starter of Loaded wedge salad was half a large lettuce with dirt on the stalk few croutons and the drizzle was swallowed up by the lettuce.Fillet steaks we asked for medium to well done were hard and tasteless.50% of the puddings were not available. Only one waitress wore a face mask, on a good note the waitresses were very pleasant.Definitely gone downhill.

It's OK but like all franchise restaurants the service isn't consistent. Post pandemic they're struggling to keep up with demand.Always annoying to see larger parties arrive and order their meals after you (several of them) but somehow get their food before you. Not the waiters fault and they were polite enough but still irritating.We had to clear table of drinks from previous guest for ourselves and consequently the table wasn't wiped down.Food was plentiful, tasty and cooked well.Probably just need more staff

I always thought this was a Steak House certainly the lunch menu never reflected this, there was only sirloin steak 🥩 very poor service one at the bar and another serving this is lunchtime last Monday 6th September .We rung up the day before about booking if we had taken notice of him (Stephen) we would not have gone in reality we should not have but for different reasons, we have dogs and told take your chances outside as always it could be very busy next to the waterside and there was a smelly Dumper truck kept passing by the fumes never mixed well with my Burger 🍔 or cider, so finale visit to a once loved Steak House.

As I walked in, I noticed that the waitress on the desk was chewing gum, which I found unprofessional. But besides that everything else was up to par. The food was good and the friendliest of our waitress was exceptional. Would go there again.

Nice place for getting drinks/ hangout especially the outside garden next to the river. Staff are friendly but they seem very short staffed on a fairly moderate traffic day. Food is where I feel I was the most disappointed, garlic bread seemed chewy/ half cooked, small food portion for the price, barely any salad for a £12 salad. Best deal would be to get a steak and drink anything else will sadly leave you disappointed.
