The Trust’s restaurants at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells hospitals are now open to the public every day from 2pm to 7pm (including weekends).

The restaurants were limited to Trust staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, when social distancing guidance was brought in.

This decision has now been reviewed, and from today, patients, visitors and contractors can access the restaurants in the following locations to purchase a range of drinks and hot food from 2pm to 7pm every day:

• Maidstone Hospital: Café @ Plus one is located on level 1, orange zone.
• Tunbridge Wells Hospital: Café @ Minus One is located on level -1, green zone.

The restaurants will remain open to Trust staff and members of the emergency services during and outside of these hours.
