Market House — Restaurant in Maidstone

My adult daughter, wife and i dropped in for lunch around 16:00 on Sunday. I ordered the spicy pork and beans, my daughter the salmon wraps and my wife, couldn't decide, but opted for the salad with felafel. But she didn't want the falafel as it was made with herbs which she won't eat, but noticed a spicy falafel as a starter, so we asked to swap and was told ok. Then I was told they'd run out of the spanish beans and was asked if i wanted potatoe instead. Nope, I changed my order to a burger..disappointed but no big deal. We waited for dinner, when it came, all was good, my wife tried a falafel it was not spicey but herby! As we were discussing the potential mistake, the manageress (Lou, I believe) noticed and asked what was wrong, we explained and was told, that they only made one type of falafel. Naturaly Lou was apologetic but what really stood out was that she was actually interested to find out the cause and to resolve the problem. Lou sat with my wife, explained the kitchen, looked at the menu saw the difference in the wording on the menu between the starter and the main; and asked about our server, who should have known better. Lou offered a discount and also a choice of another starter to go with the salad free of charge, even though we were not that bothered and even offered her favourites to ensure we were happy with our food. Lou was freindly, attentive and was joking with us making us feel that we belonged in the pub. She ensured we were looked after from start to finish. All in all. this is a pub you need to go visit, its clean, roomy and the...

Refreshing pub food; what Market House does is take the concept of eating in at a pub in a different direction and I like it. It feels new, it’s only been a year since it was last refurbed. The restaurant section is humble, comfy, with loads of scatter cushions adorning the seating. The kitchen is visible too, which is cool and uncommon in a pub setting. Service is split between the pub and restaurant, it’s humble and caring. Food was delivered quickly. The food, I thought was bloody brilliant. What a great selection of dishes. Me, being fussy when it comes to choice had lots to tickle the taste buds. Their 5 starters for £22 is a winner and something that more pubs should have. It’s the pub’s equivalent of tapas. All food looked beautiful, well done Shepherd Neame chef. My pick of the dishes was the duck and sweet potato croquet. Refreshing, quality food, excellent value for money.
