Drakes Cork & Cask

Drakes Cork & Cask, one of Maidstone’s oldest pubs, is packed with character and charm. Nestled near the River Medway in Fairmeadow, it boasts a spacious courtyard and beautifully renovated stables, offering the perfect setting for everything from casual drinks to special celebrations. With a mouthwatering BBQ and grill menu, an impressive selection of draught beers, craft ales, and premium spirits, and a friendly, welcoming team, Drakes is the ideal spot to relax with friends, family, and even your well-behaved pooches.

For those looking for a bit more privacy, our original stable block is perfect for smaller gatherings, while our versatile outside bar can be reserved for private parties, making Drakes a fantastic choice for weddings, birthdays, baby showers, and other special events.

Live music fills the air every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, featuring talented local artists. Whether you want to soak up the atmosphere from a cosy booth in the stables or dance the night away in the bustling courtyard, you won’t miss a beat.

Drakes truly shines year-round – warm up in the winter with crackling fires, comfy sofas, and board games, or soak up the summer sun in our lively, partially covered courtyard, complete with cocktails, festivals, and our popular monthly ‘Bikefest.’

Whatever the season, Drakes Cork & Cask promises great food, a fantastic drink selection, and an unforgettable atmosphere.
