We have always enjoyed good food at Embankments, so were looking forward to the new tapas style restaurant. Whilst the food we had was very good, it wasn't what I would call Tapas - the portions were of a good size and were big enough to he a main course. I had flattened rump steak on a tomato and pepper salsa and it was both tasty and healthy. My partner had a delicious crab mayo and we both enjoyed wime. Whilst the food was good, being tapas style, it was served on cardboard plates with plastic knives and forks and you have to order at the bar and pay up front. We did enjoy and will return, but I wouldn't describe the food as tapas and think proper plates and metal knives and forks would be better.

The Potting Shed, a down to earth eating house which has been created in the unusual style of a potting shed with a grass roof and decorated with gardening tools. The big dining room is vaulted with a wooden clad ceiling and opens to our beautiful garden

I had called The Potting Shed while en route, to confirm their breakfast timings. Breakfast is served until 11am, reservations can be made. I arrived a little before 11am.. I was informed the breakfast had finished, but the lady checked with the chef for one last order. I was with a friend and a baby in a high chair, who were making their way down from the car at this point. A bit of a rushed order, but a good choice. We chose the big breakfast option- eggs, sausage, bacon, black pudding, beans, mushroom, tomato & toast. Canât really go wrong with breakfast, but this was great. Illy coffee is served here too, which was very nice. Our waitress was very friendly & happy to help. We have visited before, a steak night was our last visit, which was also a great experience. A lovely looking restaurant, relaxed atmosphere and good quality food.Thank you for taking time to feedback to us and glad you enjoyed your breakfast. Come back soon.

It's the second time I've visited this restaurant and it didn't disappoint.We were given a very pleasant table and the staff were friendly and efficient. I am vegetarian and my friend is vegan so we aren't the easiest of customers to please! However, my food, a vegetable shish, was absolutely delicious.Will definitely return and am happy to recommend to all of my friends.

My partner booked us a table as a Sunday treat, as he had heard some good things about the place. The pub is in a really nice location in the countryside, we loved the outside seating area with all the pretty wild looking flowers. We went in for our lunch at 12:30 we were the first ones in, it soon got busy as there was a couple of large group bookings celebrating various things. Even with the large groups the staff coped well and were very friendly and attentive. The roast beef was gorgeous and the veg medley was glorious, packed with flavour. We really enjoyed our meals and the ambience of the restaurant. The clothes boutique upstairs was a great touch, as you donât expect to leave with a bag of goodies as well as a great meal. We canât wait to come back and try something a bit more curious! We also laughed at the car park sign, very funny.

Small independent cafe-bistro serving provincial French "peasant food" - This is not fine dining! Its loud, noisy and rustic.
Reviewed By holidaybakers
My husband took me for my birthday on a Wednesday evening. A waiter called Kenny was very brusque and abrupt, and appeared to not be enjoying his job!! The food was very nice, beautifully cooked and so tasty. There was live music during the evening which we were looking forward to. He was very good, but the tunes he chose were all quite sad. Not quite gentle background music for you to still chat to others on your table, more lets go before anyone slits their wrists! Food good and all other staff friendly.

We visited for the first time, after finding the restaurant, walking around Maidstone previously. A really nice restaurant, with a good selection of starters,and mains. We decided on rice balls, and mussels for starters.Husband had the salmon, and i had the lamb shank for our main courses. There is a lovely wine list as well.Service was good and friendly. Would have loved to have stopped for pudding, liqueor coffee and a grappa for the other half, but it got too busy.
