About us

The Grade II listed building was designed by Frederick Charles Palmer (architect to the National Provincial Bank between 1920 and 1932) and built in 1927 as the home of NatWest & Kentish Bank. Now this beautiful building has been lovingly transformed into Maidstone town centre's first independent freehouse to open for more than two decades. With sympathetic renovation, restoration & refurbishment we have returned it to its former grandeur, complete with its oak columns & panelling, ornate cornice and best of all, its stunning huge glass ceiling dome. The Brenchley offers a vast range of popular beers, wines, spirits, seasonal & guest real ales, along with an affordable food menu, speedy service and traditional pub opening times… and now a large south-facing beer garden, sun terrace & outside bars. The name Brenchley has a long standing history in Maidstone, including the formation of the Kentish Bank, Maidstone Breweries, building of Maidstone Alms Houses, Maidstone mayors, benefactor to West Kent General Hospital and the famous 19th century explorer, naturalist and author, Julius Lucius Brenchley.

Absolutely awful experience. Came here for breakfast. Was ignored, treated rudely and when I said that. The guy continued to be rude saying youre welcome when I advised he hadnt said thank you when he plonked coffee down and walked off without a word. I was so disgusted how he thought you should talk to people I wanted to report it. He said he was the manager Connor. He was vile. A massive ego, arrogant and on that experience wont go back again. I run a large local group and will not be organising anything here. Their continuous loss it looks like. Stupid. He seemed smug. About what? Losing business?

We booked our staff teams Christmas lunch here and we were so impressed with the ease of booking, the food and service. We will definitely book again next year. Thank you

Nice place in central Maidstone. Unfortunately he breakfast I had was not good. The egg white was not cooked.I did ask for it to be cooked a bit more. They flipped it and brought it back out to me. The hash browns looked cooked on the outside and were very greasy and still cold on the inside. Overall very disappointed. I would not eat their breakfast again. Not good quality or value for money.

Absolutely loved it here. The food was absolutely amazing and a good sized portion. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The atmosphere was good, not too loud and cosy. I will definitely be returning

Me and my family ate here the other day i had sausage and mash what was described as cumberland sausage wheel mash and peas served in a giant Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy £12 I believe it was and my kids had sausage and chips £6 each. Well as you can see by the photo i took after i mixed the gravy cause it was patchy and all different colours because it wasn’t mixed properly but was also quite a gelatinous texture, it was most certainly not served in a giant Yorkshire, there was a thimble sized pot of peas, the mash was most definitely smash or some off brand version. The girls food came on a tiny side plate with a table spoon of sweetcorn. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind smash and the food was ok but when your paying £50 odd for 4 meals (mrs had a hunter’s chicken that was half meat half gristle) you kind of expect better. Now if they did a kids eat for a quid type thing I wouldn’t have walked away with the negative views that i did but they are charging too much for what they are serving was what the staff members where saying to each other and im inclined to agree Save your money you’ll get better for less elsewhere.
