The Harrow Inn
About
The Harrow Inn at Lidsing is a storied country pub and restaurant that echoes the charm of 18th‑century English pubs while offering modern comforts. Nestled in the quiet hamlet of Lidsing, just outside Maidstone, it has welcomed guests for over 230 years, its original out‑front brick façade and oak beams standing testament to its heritage. Inside, a generous bar and a spacious dining room host guests, with a warm log‑burner fireplace that sets an intimate tone during evenings and a well‑kept beer garden that invites diners to enjoy summer afternoons in the shade of mature trees. The menu is a celebration of British classics with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. From hearty stews and wood‑fire pies to fresh fish and locally produced ales, there is something for everyone. Vegan and vegetarian options are clearly marked, and the kitchen staff stays on hand to accommodate allergies. The pub’s real‑ale selection is celebrated, with a rotating selection of craft brews that keep the drinks menu fresh and exciting. Whether you come for a quick pint in the bar, a leisurely lunch by the garden, or a full dining experience in the restaurant, The Harrow offers a relaxed, family‑friendly environment, high‑chair availability, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. Its long‑standing reputation combined with friendly service makes it a must‑visit spot for locals and travelers alike.
