Visited 25th February 2011.
Having left 'The Muggleton Inn' we headed back the way we had come and kept going. As it turned out when we chose to turn left we could have turned right and would have still found a 'spoons. Whilst not as visually appealing as the previous pub it wasn't bad inside and although it was busy we were able to get a table easily. This time there were three people working behind the bar but it still took a long time to get our orders placed. Nobody behind the bar was keeping track of who had been waiting the longest and every time after serving a customer they would shout out "Who's next?" More training required! We ate, I opted for the gourmet chicken with a pint of Freedom Ale with Mrs S. opting for the lasagna and a Sailor Jerry. While eating I was thinking how the pub had a very modern look from the outside but was dimly lit inside. This gave it quite a restful feel. The others agreed with this assessment so it was a bit of a surprise when, just as we finished eating, the entire ambiance changed as somebody came along and replaced two ceiling bulbs!
Maidstone was a nice place to visit and our two pubs were also pretty decent. Both, however, could have been so much better with very little extra effort.
