Nestled on Penenden Heath in the heart of the Kent Downs, the Chiltern Hundreds is a pub with heaps of charm and a story or two to tell. Its picturesque exterior is matched only by the warmth you’ll find inside.
From the crackle of the fire on a chilly day to the cheerful buzz of our beer garden in summer, this is where Kentish hospitality truly shines. Whether you’re after a three-course meal or just fancy a quiet pint, the Chiltern Hundreds always feels like home. It’s one of those charming, traditional pubs in Maidstone that’s always worth the visit.
Discover Kent’s countryside treasures
It’s not just the cosy interiors that draw people here. Step outside, and you’re in the heart of Kent’s glorious countryside. Not only is The Chiltern Hundreds one of the cosiest countryside pubs in Maidstone (if we do say so ourselves), it's also in a prime location, making it the ideal base for discovering the local attractions
Just off Junction 7 of the M20, it’s so easy to stop by after a day exploring the rolling hills, ancient woodlands and historic sites of Kent – also known as the Garden of England. A short drive away lies Leeds Castle, a postcard-perfect gem set in 500 acres of lush parkland – though we’d argue the charm of our beer garden gives it a run for its money.
The Kent Downs are full of stunning walking trails, and Penenden Heath offers curious ramblers a glimpse into its fascinating past. This tranquil spot was once a place of rebellion and justice – proof that history is always full of surprises, much like the Chiltern Hundreds.The best pub food in Maidstone
