A Refined Country Pub in Sandling

The Yew Tree is a refined countryside pub in Maidstone, Kent, where heritage meets modern sophistication. Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Sandling area, we have created a space that celebrates the very best of English country dining.

Our pub combines the warmth and character of a traditional English country pub with the elegance and attention to detail you would expect from a fine dining establishment. From our carefully curated wine list to our thoughtfully designed interiors, every element reflects our commitment to an experience that is both welcoming and exceptional.

Whether you are here for a casual lunch, a special celebration, or an evening of fine dining, you will find an atmosphere that is refined without being stuffy, and warm without compromising on quality.
