Matches Sports Bar & Social Ashford — Restaurant in Ashford

We've been dying for a bar like this in town for many years. Matches is the perfect sports bar! More screens than you can shake a stick at, good seats, n64, playstation, shuffleboard, pool, beer pong, karaoke, the lot. We've booked the VIP room a few times now and you really do get top service. Keep an eye out for Jodie who is always at hand. The food is great too. Love the match burger and loaded fries, plus the different options for snacks and light bites. Really helped when wash down by the large selection of craft beers as well as your usual premiums. Your table gets cleared almost as often as you finish your drink, as the staff are always on it. Great service! Hmmmm what else? The toilets are well maintained, there's an electronic dartboard, children and pets are welcome, and the atmosphere for football games is electric. At night, despite not many sports being on at this time, the place is vibrant and full of people living their best. I believe there is another Match Sportsbar in Canterbury, which I'm yet to attend but will definitely be making my way there soon.

Thanks all. You've added a lot to this town and I can only speak positively about the experience I've had over the last couple of...

Strap in for a flavor voyage that’s light-years beyond ordinary with the Matches chicken burger—a galactic masterpiece that defies all expectations. The moment you unwrap it, you’re greeted by the aroma of spice and sizzle that could only come from a celestial kitchen. The chicken itself? Pure cosmic perfection. Crispy on the outside with a golden crust that crackles like a meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere, yet impossibly tender and juicy on the inside, as if it’s been marinated in the Milky Way itself.

With every bite, you’re transported to a place where chicken burgers rule the cosmos. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a supernova of taste, exploding in layers of flavor that seem impossible to be contained in one burger. Matches has truly crafted a chicken burger that’s out of this world—one that you’ll be dreaming about long after the last bite. Simply put, this is the space-age experience your taste buds have been waiting for.

Now is it me, or does this review deserve an Oscar, or at the very least a complimentary chance to be able to relive this moment.

Matches, what do you say?...

Booked the Matchbox room for a 30th birthday - there was 17 of us in total and I paid for karaoke and beer pong.

I couldn’t fault it at all! Communication with the team was brilliant, I was even able to drop off a cake and a few balloons beforehand. The room had a really nice, cosy vibe but spacious enough to move about, the beer pong was a fun icebreaker that included a 4 pint jug of beer of our choice and karaoke had a huge choice of songs to get everyone up.

I didn’t catch the managers name but she was an excellent host and made sure we had a great time 😊 All of the bar staff were great too, as usual!

Despite the sore heads the next day, everyone said they’d had a brilliant time and would do it again. I knew we’d have fun but it exceeded my expectations!

Would 100% recommend...
