The Royal Albion

19 Havock Lane, ME14 1QE

The old beams and brick fireplaces should make you realise you're in one of Maidstones' oldest pubs. But fear not this place is no museum, its also home to one of the best live music scenes in the county town, with regular bands and a very popular karaoke night. There’s also a decked area at the back for summer evenings and plenty of picnic tables out front too. This is a Shepherd Neame pub, so expect local ales and ciders.
