Discover Our Historic Home
Corpus Christi Hall, Maidstone’s venerable edifice, was bestowed upon the Maidstone Fraternity of Corpus Christi around 1324. Initially, a commercial hub in medieval times, it nearly became a grammar school in 1549, serving educationally for over 320 years.
Post-1871, following the school’s relocation, Fremlins Brewery acquired it for cooperage, later embracing diverse roles from the 1930s, including cricket net practice and a stage for staff-led cultural events.
Each corner of our restaurant exudes the charm and character of centuries past, providing a truly unique backdrop for your dining experience.
As stewards of this historic building, we are honored to share its storied past with you, inviting you to become part of its ongoing legacy. Thank you for choosing Taberna. We look forward to welcoming you into our family and sharing the magic of this remarkable setting.
