The Yew Tree Inn in Maidstone

Lovely food as always, enjoyed our lunch. Thank you 😊

Nice little traditional tucked away country pub/restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, tracey was very accommodating. The menu offered a great range and we were not disappointed with our choices being the calamari and scallops starters followed by the seabass and fillet steak #theyewtree #theextreamlyhappycouple #thehappycouple #inlove #maidstone

Staff are welcoming and very attentive, the atmosphere is relaxed and homely, the food is EXCELLENT and presented well, The service was exceptional and faultless both timely and attentive. Value for money was fabulous. Cant recommend the Yew Tree Inn high enough, great team work. Thank you for a perfect Sunday.

Phoned and booked a table for 5 people, at the time of booking I was asked whether this was all adults. I advised this was 3 adults and 2 children, however with one of the children being 15 and eating like a grown man that it was really just 1 child who was 6. On the day of our booking I received a call about 5 hours before to confirm the booking and to advise they were running on a reduced menu. This was a little disappointing but we appreciated the fact that a phone call was made in advance as a pre warning. When we arrived, the place was almost empty and was a very dull vibe. The menu was very limited as expected from the phone call but also with 1 of the main courses also being unavailable. We asked for a children's menu for our 6 year old to be told they dont have a kids menu!!! And that 'normally' they are predominantly over 18's. I queried this and asked why I was not advised at the time of booking especially given the fact that I was specifically asked whether the booking was for all adults, only to be told that it 'does say on our website!!!'. Given the fact we booked this through a recommendation, we didn't feel the need to check the website so seems a bit of a stupid response. I then asked whether they offer children's size/small portions of the mains on offer and this was another blunt no!!!There was such a lack of care or service from the staff and the lady who I assume is the manager/owner. She come across as very rude and certainly no ethos of the customer is always right!!!!Needless to say, we called around and managed to get a table at The Swan in West Malling instead so swiftly left!!I would not recommend the Yew Tree solely on their poor attitude and lack of customer care and service. The Swan on the other hand was world apart and I we will be certain to go back again!!!

Anyone wanting microwaved rubbish food will be bitterly disapointed if they dine at his wonderfull little pub.Simply amazing,i have visited several times.Staff friendly,food exellent and wonderfull ambience.And of course the beer is kept in tip top fashion.Highly recomend.

Lovely pub / restaurant, food was excellent and a great menu all cooked on the premises. Wonderful staff. Thank you for a great experience.

Had a delicious, reasonably priced three course meal here. There was a broad selection of meals that pandered to the varied tastes of our group of six. The presentation of the food was excellent and pleasing to the eye. The waitress was very attentive, polite and welcoming and catered for our every need. Seating arrangement was good without our party being too close to others. Due to Covid, tables were only allocated for two hours but we didn't feel rushed. There was a pleasant ambience there and it was an enjoyable evening I would recommend others try.

Lovely meal, food excellent, staff very attentive. Will definitely going back again.

Good pubs serving splendid food isn’t difficult in Kent. The Yew Tree is a case in point; tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the busy A-roads and Motorways lives an accommodating country pub serving Britain’s finest.I love the decor; a lot of care has been put into the look and feel of the exterior and interior. Outside there feels like queues of Alice in Wonderland. Inside it feels like a study.Service is professional, personable and perceptive. My pick of the dishes was the sumptuous scallops.

Amazing food, well thought out menu, friendly and helpful staff. In a nice cosy venue.
