Good Food
Time to chill out with a heart-warming meal
When the weather gets colder and the jumpers get chunkier, it’s the season to get cosy with comfort food and delicious drinks.
Forget the waistline war for a while and indulge in some feel-good favourites. Wrap up
warm for a walk in the countryside, with the reward of a warming roast dinner at a welcoming village pub. The George and Dragon at Ightham and the George Inn at Leeds both offer tasty menus and tempting wines and beers.
If your stroll takes you along the river, stop off at Embankments Restaurant and Bar, and
enjoy the scenery near Maidstone’s Archbishop’s Palace. While a two-minute walk from the waterway, you can enjoy a taste of sunshine at the Gem of Kent Turkish and Kurdish restaurant in the High Street, which offers outstanding dishes from both cultures.
The Gem of Kent
The Gem of Kent proudly boasts itself as Maidstone’s only Turkish and Kurdish Restaurant and it is certainly worth shouting about. The restaurant offers outstanding dishes from both cultures created using the finest quality ingredients.
In addition to the
extensive a la carte menu there is a set lunch and dinner menu, which means that choosing and dining has never been easier - offering you a fantastic choice of new tastes and classics.
The warm, friendly
atmosphere and the courteous team, along with the exceptional food, make it the ideal venue for this years Christmas celebration.

The George and Dragon
The George and Dragon at Ightham is a village pub brimming with character and history.
Inside the pub, you will find a bar and separate dining room, with a beer garden for warmer days.
The menu is an exciting
combination of classic English pub food and French-influenced fine dining. Alongside your usual favourites such as scampi and chips or ham and eggs, you will find a more adventurous selection of “plat chauds” such as the French classic tournedos Rossini - fillet beef with a madeira sauce and fondant potatoes. Vegetarians are not forgotten either, with a choice of dishes that go beyond the obvious.
