The Chequers at Laddingford in Maidstone

Ample parking, large garden, ancient wooden beams and wooden floor, choice of ales, good humoured staff. The list goes on, with boxes being ticked. What's not to like?If you're planning on eating you can also check the Menu online to see options and prices.

Brilliant evening but only because of the Morris Dancers! Limited menu and food very "average". Be careful of being overcharged as I had read reviews of this happening previously and was then overcharged myself by £17.50! This was rectified after I queried it.

Great village pub. Definitely visit on Sausage Thursdays, great tasting bangers with nice variety to choose from. Plus of course a good selection of ales.

When you arrive the pub is very pleasant and still old. The food is nice and there is plenty of choice. The garden needs tidying. We sat outside as we took our dog. We could have sat inside but the weather was very nice. If they sort the garden out it will be nice.

Excellent. Highly recommended. Very warm and welcoming. Staff and owners are great. Good pub grub and a nice selection of real ales which are kept very well. What more could you ask for?

Love this pub and it's food, especially the prawn medley starter... delicious! Large play area for children and very friendly, welcoming staff.

Booked a table as we had family over for the day. Had a couple of meals here and the food has been good, so thought we would try the roast. Very disappointed as we ordered the food after a long wait it came out, but all 6 meals were cold. We mentioned this to a member of staff and they took all the meals back and reheated them up. I would probably return but not for the Sunday menu.

Always have a great time here. The annual sausage week is always enjoyed by the ladies. Harvey's beer and a great special menu are proof that Charles and Tracey know how to provide that special local pub experience. I need six stars!!

It's okay! My wife chose the pub because of the good reviews and pictures of the playground area. My pie was great but the mash was certainly not. We had chips just before the meal and they were really nice. So perhaps when choosing food, opt for anything that comes with chips. My 4 year old son really enjoyed the playground and the locals and staff were all smiley and friendly.

Lovely village pub that invests in its community by holding local events and fundraising activities. The food is excellent and the menu diverse, look out for the specials too, always a gastronomic experience. Occasional live music in the marquee and the best beer festival around is held in April. Very large beer garden with play equipment to keep the children happy.
