Default Good Pub with very big car park in Maidstone Area
I have a charity event to organise for May, and we are looking for a pub with a large car park to hold it, good access for the motorway routes, do you guys have any ideas, ideally looking around the Maidstone area, as this will involve you guys, Essex Scoobies, Kent Scoobies, and Surrey.

The event is for a charity who supports all the military families connected with the army bomb squad.

Many thanks for all your input and advice.

Baz

Not the closest to Maidstone but if you need a huge car park, the Grasshopper Inn at Westerham is hard to beat.

The parking for the actual Hop Farm itself is huge. But the parking for the pub (Brookers Oast) nextdoor wasn't that big at all. Sure you could park in the field and walk into the pub though....

if you tell the hop farm as the reason we are all turning up is for charity and a good cause they'll allow us to park wherever we like.

This event should not clash now with any other event, just waiting for confirmation and then all will be revealed
