So I'm not allowed an opinion now with being accused of knowing everything. Why will everybody not learn, he has an opinion which is always right 🤔 DON'T DISAGREE you know he will rant again about my own opinion. Just be grateful the rest of us are different and listen to others and discuss. Over to you and here we go ........... ALL the rest of us? How long have you been on this board? |

They've picked a lousy time for this. With energy costs about to go through the roof (no cap for business users), they are really going to struggle. I fear there's going to be even fewer pubs in Maidstone by this time next year. |

Sorry for hijacking the Maidstone pub thread but as I know a lot of our supporters drink at the Beerseller in Tonbridge it is my sad duty to tell you the best real ale pub in town has gone to the wall,it never really recovered after Covid.ðŸ˜

Lived there for over 10 years, but never went in! Surprised it's survived, with the Bull just down the road (assuming that's still open?) and the DofE (or whatever it's called now) a short walk the other way. For reasons I don't remember/understand, we used to drink/eat in the Fountain (RIP).
I think the secret of the Redstart is that its not the isolated pub it seems, it actually backs onto the Beverley Estate and the older Rede Wood development. It's a short walk from a pretty large catchment area, full of young families and retired couples, none exactly struggling financially - ideal pub/resaurant customers. And the owners seen to know their customers' tastes pretty well!

Pretty fair write up I would say.
Been there 100+ times but rarely these days.
Drink, food and ambience all decent but not really worth going out of your way.
Btw Beverley and Rede Wood were built very much in the same period.

And the owners seen to know their customers' tastes pretty well! The Bull is just to damned expensive and the atmosphere stinks rather like their customer service. Waited nearly an hour for food which had to be sent back to be reheated. The manager was unavailable and so was the chef who obviously found the 20 yard walk from the kitchen to our table beyond his/her capabilities. We were offered a free voucher for pudding to make up for the fact the food and service was shit. I told them where they could stuff their cookie dough ice cream up their proverbial and was then asked to leave the building. I wrote a letter of complaint to the manager/ess who said they would look in to it as a matter of urgency,that was 2 years ago and I am still waiting fir my reply🤬 |

We just went for the quizzes, the Harveys and the steak pudding, the rest wasn’t terribly life enhancing. We still think The Optimists team were cheating!

Btw Beverley and Rede Wood were built very much in the same period. They don't look it! The Beverley bit is very 60s/70s. Reded Wood looks a lot classier. When we lived there, there was a distinct wealth divide - people with money lived in Rede Wood/North Pole/Heath Road/North St. Even the Beverley estate had a north-south wealth gradient - the closer to Heath Road, the nicer the houses. Needsless to say, we lived just off the Tonbridge Road! |

As a kid I was an original resident of the Beverley Estate, albeit on Heath Road which was the last bit that was built. The year 1965.
The Rede Wood build had just been started at this time.

Do you remember the private school - Barming Place, I think it was called? There was a path from the school to the Tonbridge Road which ran past our garden - all overgrown by the time we got there (78). I was in what I thought was our garden once, cutting back the undergrowth, but I must have strayed onto the path (it ws so overgrown, you couldn't tell), when a voice yelled at me "this is MY garden!". I nearly had a heart attack! |
