Exceptional(188)
Price: Very Expensive
• English • West Malling
Booked 1 time today
The Plough isn't your average countryside pub. Sitting on a quiet lane in a quintessentially English village, The Plough was set to be sold off the developers when 120 members of the community came together to invest, and save, their local. After its purchase and renovation, the Yates family took over the kitchen and opened the pub's small, but proud, restaurant, Bowleys. Head Chef Alex Yates is still very early on in his career but though only in his early twenties, he has already spent two years in the kitchens at The Goring Hotel in London, as well as having gained experience with Rick Stein and even once cooking for the Queen. Bowleys menus have a traditional feel and adhere to classic, English fare with a fine dining twist. There are several options to choose between including a tasting menu, set lunch, a la carte, brunch and Sunday lunch. The tasting menu is the jewel in Bowleys crown and consists of five courses, with an optional sixth.

    Well first time visiting the venue. On arriving it looked a lovely tranquil restaurant/pub. On entering we was welcomed like regulars the staff so so welcoming and friendly 😊 We arrived 20mins before our booking and was told we can sit down straight away fantastic. Drinks ordered bought to table within minutes. All the other customers looked comfortable and happy which shows how lovely it is. Our waitress wow she was absolutely 💯% lovely happy is if we knew her for years.. Now the food OMG out of this world . The Fish and chips WOW that's the best I've EVER HAD. MY wife had the mixed meat roast it also looked amazing The portion sizes was fantastic 👏. I'm pretty sure Gordon Ramsey was in the kitchen cooking it as it was that beautiful and VERY tasty. So on our experience it's DEFINITELY 💯% actually 110% worth the drive out to it. Which we will be again very very soon. Once again thanks to our lovely waitress ( on till receipt it said jamie torres ) Thank you once again x Also to all the staff

    We have been to The Poet a few times now and on every occasion we have enjoyed it immensely. Tom and the team take great care to ensure that all our food requirements are met and they go above and beyond with attention to detail. The atmosphere is always convivial and the food is outstanding. There's a very nice wine list too.

    Booked a table here for a pre-Christmas lunch and catch up with friends and I must say it turned out to be a very pleasant couple of hours. The service was friendly and efficient, the food was hot, tasty and plentiful and the atmosphere was very pleasant too. We all said that we would certainly visit again if we were in the area. Recommended!
