Thanks to its location in the very heart of The Garden of England , Maidstone has been able to reap the rewards of this bountiful countryside haven and in turn produce its very own dining treasures . Not only do local restaurants use produce from the Kentish countryside and combine it with culture and expertise to craft their very own exquisite menus , but breweries , distilleries and vineyards have also made use of Kent ’ s warm climate and fertile soil to create some of the UK ’ s finest drinks . Farming delicious produce is of course a technique that has been perfected in this land for centuries . Today it is a history of which Maidstone can be immensely proud , showcased through beautiful vineyards , such as Balfour Winery , as well as breweries and distilleries such as Maidstone Distillery , which boasts architectural beauty as well as fabulous spirits and gins .
