Restaurant & Cocktail Bar
A charity night supporting The Hengist
This event is going ahead as planned. It is being held at Ballin' Maidstone, not at The Hengist restaurant.
Soulful Touch brings the party of the summer to Maidstone, with 80s and 90s soul, club anthems and a raffle supporting Help The Hengist.
Live vocals · Live sax · DJ · Dancers · Charity raffle
The Hengist is currently closed while the team assesses and recovers from a fire. Reservations are paused for the rest of 2026.
The restaurant closure does not affect Soul Re-Imagined at Ballin' Maidstone on 28 August.
Our new Hello Hengist recipe-box platform is being prepared for launch, with account setup open before subscriptions begin.
The Hengist restaurant is set in a beautiful 16th Century building in the pretty village of Aylesford, just outside Maidstone in Kent.
We pride ourselves on providing a dining experience that is both approachable and adventurous.
Our menus change with the seasons and are created using the highest quality, locally-sourced ingredients.
The Hengist cocktail list is extensive, with unique and exciting drinks you won't find anywhere else.
Our approach to service is just as important, and we strive to make every visit memorable and personalised. Your four legged friends are welcome too!
We look forward to welcoming you to The Hengist.
