About us

The Cellars Alehouse is a micropub; one of an increasing number that follow the model created by Martyn Hillier at The Butchers Arms in Herne. Since then, many have copied Martyn’s model, not just in Kent but across the country, and by the close of 2014 there were over 100 trading successfully. Since then, more and more have opened and there are now about 370 establishments across the country that consider themselves micropubs; with 55 in Kent alone (Dec 17).

A micropub takes beer drinking back to a time when most was consumed in an alehouse. There were no fruit machines and juke boxes then; just beer and good company. And this is exactly what you will find at The Cellars: a range of well-kept cask ales from all corners of the country, but always with a strong local representation from Kent’s microbreweries. To complement this core range there will be locally produced ciders, craft keg beers, wines including Prosecco, artisan gin, vodka and rum, soft drinks, tea and coffee.

The Micropub…..

The Cellars Alehouse can be found at The Old Brewery, a small enterprise estate just off Rocky Hill on one side and Buckland Road on the other. It is all that remains of The Medway Brewery, once the home of Style & Winch and later part of the Courage empire. We are in the old cellars of the brewery, Where the Barley Wine was stored.

Lovely little place. Serious ale with knowledge. I just wonder if you are dog friendly as I would like to bring him with me next time. Update. Took my young puppy in there this evening. The beer was superb and my little dog was made an absolute fuss of. I also learnt that this establishment has a high quality lager so my non ale drinking wife will join me next time! Thanks chaps.

Fantastic venue with a great selection of cask ales, keg beers and ciders. Wine, spirits and soft drinks are also available. Very entertaining pub quiz nights. Ideal place to sample and socialise!

Great selection of ales also available for takeaway and by far the best toilet flush doom bar handle 😂

I'll give 4 out of 5 because the quality of the ciders I had were good, but here's some constructive criticism. Put the list of beers and ciders on the wall somewhere. Your choice is too large to make a decision while at the bar, which is the only place you can see them. Linked to this, I don't like customers drinking at the bar in any pub, especially micropubs, and yours isn't conducive to it. You can feel the impatience of your bar drinking customers whilst the customer behind them makes their choice, so they can resume their conversation with the bar staff. I understand that a micropub may not want to 'offend' customers by telling them not to drink at the bar (the customer is always right), so the solution is to consider the location of the beer list as I suggested (the customer is always right).

Love this Maidstone Micro Pub. Lovely atmosphere with plenty of space. Good selection of many ales including sour ales. Ciders too with snacks available. Great prices too. Within walking distance of town. What's not to like. They even ask what you like and recommend what's good for you. Worth a visit. Chilled micro pub and great place to hang with friends and talk!
