Had a lovely lunch today with my mates. Pub was really easy to find and nice and snug amongst all the country woods. The pub itself is a bit old fashioned both outside and inside and the lighting was quite dark and gloomy inside but otherwise was fine, made for a cosy meal.
A lot of reviews on here said about the food and the service not being great. To be honest and fair to those reviews I personally dident have a problem with the food I ordered although some of my mates had different views on there food ( my order was the deep fried brie starter and roast beef for the main also had a lovely cheese cake which I dident get a photo of) all of my food was well cooked and fresh and tasted fantastic. Service was really good we had a lovely young lady server who did a great job and made sure we was looked after the whole time. The prices where around the same price to expect in a pub like this £42 in total for me. Would defo give them another go if ever in the area 👍
This was our first time at this quaint little pub, first impressions where good, staff are friendly and attentive, we went for lunch , and had the steak and ale homemade pie and cod and chips, both where exceptional. Portions where big enough for us not to be able to fit in desert! Will definitely be returning for a Sunday Roast!

So we were recommended to go here for the Sunday roast and it didn’t disappoint - the beef was fantastic and no fat whatsoever.
I understand that the landlady has moved on recently and that most of the staff are new but just a few pointers as below as way of feedback ;-
You had run out of lemonade at 1pm on a Sunday lunch ??
You had run out of chips ??!! 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I know that running a pub these days is hard work but come on at least have the basics in.
Apart from that everything else was great, place could do with a spruce up but at the end of the day it is a country pub so we would definitely return again.
Young staff were a bit shy and inexperienced but it’s hard to get staff these days so hopefully they will grow confidence as they work more 👍🏼👍🏼
Good pubs serving splendid food isn’t difficult in Kent. The Yew Tree is a case in point; tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the busy A-roads and Motorways lives an accommodating country pub serving Britain’s finest.
I love the decor; a lot of care has been put into the look and feel of the exterior and interior. Outside there feels like queues of Alice in Wonderland. Inside it feels like a study.
Service is professional, personable and perceptive. My pick of the dishes was the sumptuous scallops.
Prawn and avocado wrapped in cucumber was not what we expected for a prawn cocktail. Great idea and so good.
The fillet steak was the best we've had, even better the one we had from a Michelin starred chef in Switzerland.
Great pub, great food and well worth a visit.
Nice little traditional tucked away country pub/restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, tracey was very accommodating. The menu offered a great range and we were not disappointed with our choices being the calamari and scallops starters followed by the seabass and fillet steak #theyewtree #theextreamlyhappycouple #thehappycouple #inlove #maidstone
Had a very lovely evening at The Yew Tree recently. There were four of us and we each had a 3 course meal. We each chose something different from the menu but were equally very happy with our choices. The food and service were excellent and we will certainly be visiting again soon.
No reservation, sat in bar area.. Absolutely lovely atmosphere and fantastic food!

The food was homemade and totally delicious. Fairly priced too.
I gave it 3 stars for atmosphere as it was relatively empty and playing golden oldies, but I was in there on a Wednesday night. Its perfect for a family dining experience especially if you are taking the older folks. However it's closed on Monday's and Tuesday's.
I believe it's run by a husband and wife team as he was in the kitchen and she was tending bar and waiting tables.
Absolutely spotless throughout the whole pub and the ladies toilets were nicely decorated and not a speck of dirt anywhere!
I would recommend this place to families and people of an older generation.
The menu had loads of yummy choices and the puddings were utter classics. The beer was reasonably priced too.
Upon entering I was asked if I had pre booked, which I hadn't, but they were more than happy for me to sit in the bar area and eat anyway. The place didnt seem to get too much busier so I was a touch confused why I would need to book first but in my opinion it was a minor confusion.
Give it a try it was very tasty.
Amazing food, well thought out menu, friendly and helpful staff. In a nice cosy venue.
