High Street Hero

In the start of a new feature, we highlight some of Kent’s best chain restaurants. This month we’re in Maidstone

Stroll down Maidstone’s Earl Street and you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to different eateries. One of our favourites is Côte Brasserie – its sister branches are in Canterbury, Chislehurst, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and also Bluewater (Greenhithe).

One of the best bits about a High Street Hero is that the guilt factor of ‘special occasion’ dining is removed. You can rock up early evening, mid-week with a mate, as I did, and know there are going to be plenty of other hungry people there who want a decent plate of food at a reasonable price and in congenial surroundings.
