Set in a grand old insurance company’s head office and much more upmarket than the other Maidstone Spoons (re-opened in December 2023 after a big refurb) and is very tidy overall – the four decorated arched openings between rooms looked very snazzy, as sis the pub’s name picked-out above the bar. Upstairs hosts another sizeable seating area with a bar and is much quieter and more relaxed with a faint Georgian drawing room feel, wish I’d known about it well-before my departure toilet trip! The non-GBG Spoons in town but my pint of Three Acre IPA was in good enough nick (NBSS 3). Shoddy kitchen let the side down, my salad came with no bowl of dressing, tut. This is certainly the more impressive of the town’s two Spoons and you should head here if you only have time to sample one of them. 7.5
