Charming restaurants with a right royal Sunday roast in tow? Gorgeous cocktail bars, perfect for a date night... or a wild night? Luxe diners where high-end plates are the standard? Cheap and cheerful for a tight weekend? We're bringing you the best restaurants and bars in Maidstone (the largest town in Kent). 




AURA

For the ultimate party in Tunbridge Wells, Aura Nightclub should be your next port of call. Not only does it have a fab location in the heart of Kent, but it also boasts stunning decor, fantastic DJs, live entertainment and offers you a VIP experience.

Wildwood Maidstone

When it comes to the best Maidstone restaurants, Wildwood has to be up there for its affordable menu that spans a whole heap of favourites - from pizza to pasta, burgers and other grill plates. Plus, the Italian desserts are pretty indulgent too.

BULLSEYE

Bullseye is Maidstone's new social playground, bringing interactive darts, private karaoke and a buzzing Carousel Bar to 91 High Street. Nine oches welcome every ability and accommodate up to 12 players each, while bigger parties can combine three lanes for groups of 36.

Add crowd-friendly food, cold drinks, a covered terrace and spacious beer garden, and your next date night or group get-together is right on target.
