    Great food, attentive service as always. It shows a good restaurant and it's staff when they recognize customers from before. We all (including my friends from Bucks) had great time and enjoyed our food.

    Whichever way you look at it, the Little Rock is superb! We have enjoyed excellent food numerous times at this restaurant and our most recent visit was no different. The menu has changed with new mouth watering dishes. The food is beautifully cooked and the service is first class. There were four of us on this occasion, with Hake, Skate and Plaice chosen for the main course - all absolutely delicious. We will be returning soon and are looking forward to it.

    We were booked in at 5pm and were stuck in a traffic jam in Maidstone at half 4! I called and left a message to say we would be a bit late and the staff were absolutely fine about it. Efficient friendly service from our waitress and being one of the first groups in, the place slowly filled up behind us creating a very pleasant buzz. Such a complete mix of customers on a beautiful sunny evening. The food as always, was delicious. I chose daisy fresh plaice on the bone, expertly cooked and judging by the appreciative noises from my friends they will all be retuning. They all had the delicious fish and chips, also caught that day. This Plaice ( 😆 ) never disappoints!
