The Herbalist, Maidstone

Please Note: This review is over a year old.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Herbalist

About 2/3rds restaurant, 1/3rd bar (which appears to be called Junipers externally, but that is the related weekend cocktail bar / club downstairs), with an attractive semi-modern appearance and furniture to suit in both parts of an elongated rectangular space. Plenty of window space on two sides, and well lit further back by the counter, main kitchen and pizza oven (beside which there is a hatch for takeaway sales). Three annoyingly disused handpumps (with a selection of real ales offered by the Elite Pub Co's other outlets), so the choice was either Staropramen 'brewery fresh' tank beer or one of a few keg beers (e.g. Curious Brew). Unsurprisingly, given the name, a wide range of gins is offered, along with various cocktails.
