Maidstone is a large, historically important town in Kent, England, of which it is the county town. The River Medway runs through the centre of the town, linking it with Rochester and the Thames Estuary. Historically, the river carried much of the town's trade as the centre of the agricultural county of Kent, known as the Garden of England. There is evidence of settlement in the area dating back before the Stone Age. The town, part of the borough of Maidstone, had a population of 107,627 people in 2011. There has been a shift in the town's economy since the Second World War away from heavy industry towards light industry and services.

I pen this review amidst the synthetically exotic decor of Mu Mu Restaurant in central Maidstone. The interior recalls scenes of the demi-monde portrayed by the impressionists. Luxuriant drapery and garish colours create an aesthetic feast for the eye. Voluptuous sculpted figures (caryatids) look down from their perches with beguiling insouciance. They have seen it all and are no longer fazed by the unleashing of human passions. One can imagine the scintillating atmosphere in the twlight hours with the wine flowing and inhibitions thrown to the wind.On the culinary side the service is friendly and efficient. The dishes arrive stylishly presented on the plate. The breakfast and brunch menus seem at odds with an ambience designed to stimulate a sensuous response. I realise too late that a fishcake and small glass of Sauvignon Blanc are unlikely to reawaken my slumbering urges. I am hopeful that the banoffee pie will work wonders.The rest is a matter of personal taste. The restaurant is currently decked out for Hallowe'en, an event of dubious propriety. Black is 'a la mode'. If contrived scarifyring is your thing, Mu Mu is suitably prepared. (Goths and Harry Potter fans take note). The masonry is strewn with faux cobwebs and I espy a giant spider made of pipe cleaners. The meal is accompanied by a soundtrack of eerie cries and echoing chambers reminiscent of my digestive system on a bad day. I shudder momentarily....but this may be due to a draught as I am sitting near the entrance. I would like to point out that this establishment hardly needs these additional fripperies to qualify as an intriguing venue.My dining experience is considerably enhanced by the presence of a charismatic Mediterranean waitress. Her restrained appearance contrasts with the ghoulish creatures who pass through the restaurant at intervals dressed in various shades of black, their faces plastered with grotesque make-up. A parade of demure zombies. Isn't it amazing what commerce demands of its handmaidens?Mu Mu is a tantalizing extravaganza not to be missed, though somewhat wasted on dreary Maidstone. I look forward to my next visit with breathless anticipation.

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.

1st visit with friends to the Yeti. Service was on the slow side, even though the restaurant wasnât that busy. Apart from myself and two friends, the remaining clientele were of Nepalese stock. It would appear that they were getting preferential treatment on service. The waiting staff were very courteous and welcoming.Now to the food. The Sea Bass I had was excellent and the Mango Pancake was to die for. Portions of the servings were generous. But for the slow service, it would have been a 5* rating. Date of visit was 18th November 2018.
