The Hengist British in Maidstone, Kent | The Gourmet Society Diners Card

On the banks of the River Medway sits The Hengist; a striking Grade II listed building now home to a contemporary bar and restaurant. With a variety of rooms to suit all moods, diners can choose between the relaxed brasserie-style bar area, or one of the two lavishly decorated fine-dining rooms. The Hengist also boasts a classy champagne bar and a pleasant outdoor terrace complete with a trickling stream. Located in the Kentish town of Aylesford, The Hengist is an establishment steeped in history. The restaurant's namesake was a formidable Saxon warrior who claimed Kent as his kingdom; and the food at The Hengist aims to pack almost as strong as punch as he did.

With a casual dining menu served all day, guests at The Hengist can opt for a more laid-back meal. Popping in for an informal lunch of dill salmon or spiced sweetcorn soup is irresistible. There's an extensive coffee menu perfect for those afternoon breaks, and a wholesome children's menu packed with home-made goodness. For a more opulent dining experience, the stunning a la carte menu showcases the exceptional skills and attention to detail of the chefs at The Hengist. Guests can choose from starters such as crab and coconut bisque, roast grouse, and artichoke velouté. Main courses feature a sublime selection of seasonal, locally sourced produce; including roasted fillet of venison, Romney Marsh lamb, and pan roast plaice.

With this eloquent menu and an eccentric British décor, The Hengist Restaurant in Aylesford will captivate diners. Attentive staff make dining at the restaurant a real pleasure, and with something new to try with each visit guests will no doubt be curious to return to this hidden gem again.
