The best restaurants in West Malling and Leybourne Tonbridge and Malling South East

Great location if you are looking to get an early ferry or train to Europe.

Always delicious, hot and on time

The drugs i was repeatedly offered were overpriced, and the fights were poor: didn’t last long enough.

Everything was nice apart from the pebbles so be careful if you're wearing heels as the outside section is all small pebbles and can go quite deep

We came here for the opening after it had been refurbished. It has been changed in to a cocktail and tapas bar. The staff were super friendly, and the food and cocktails were superb, and the new decor looks fantastic! A really great place to go with family and friends, and just what west malling needed!

Great looking building. Think it's more a 'locals' pub, as we queued for 20 minutes whilst they served everyone else! Then greeted by miserable staff who overcharged us. Waited over an hour for our lunch, which was mediocre to say the least. Wouldn't go back.

Lovely old pub with an excellent selection of drinks and an open fireplace in the winter

Delicious Thai food in a beautiful setting. Fantastic choice of dishes, fresh and tasty. A local gem for us, we will be back.

Set menu reasonably priced and decent selection. Enjoyed the aubergine parmigiana very much and the peanut butter parfait was divine.

Busy place, friendly staff, nice atmosphere

Went onto Google to look for a brewers fayre. Castle lake came up so we went. Bearing in mind you have all the big signs on the road welcoming all. We went to go in only to find members of public are not so welcome as access to restaurant is for premier Inn customers only. Maybe you should take the sign of the road and replace it with Premier Inn sign only. Very disappointing.

I need to do this quickly before it becomes irrelevant. I've seen other reviews criticising the condition of this restaurant recently. Those reviewers probably weren't aware that the owners (Whitbread) are closing it in two weeks! Consequently, my review isn't so much about the building or the food as it it about the staff. I was there on business which meant dinner on arrival day and breakfast on departure day. Because it's closing soon, choice was limited so that's not really open for discussion. In reality, I had the same dinner meal I'd had at a London branch a couple of days earlier. This was SO much better!! It really was - and I properly enjoyed it. Nothing to fault in any way. What struck me though was the attitude of the staff - all of whom will be out of work in two weeks - they were amazing!! I can't get over the manner, the attitude, the buoyancy and the general ambience around them. Amazing under the circumstances and it wasn't limited to one or a select few - it was something shared across the entire team. Beyond that, the morning crew were very much the same (though different people). I can't comment on the decision to close - that's a commercial decision for the owners - but if you operate a hospitality business anywhere nearby, slip in for a meal and if you agree with what I found, hire some of these people. You're unlikely to regret it! There's little point in saying more because as I've said, in two weeks' time, it's all over but if this goes anyway to helping any of that amazing team of people move on, it will have been worth my writing!!

Overly steamed/ heated oat milk to the point of it becoming denatured and creating a foul, bitter taste, along with a cup filled a little over halfway. The staff in this branch are inconsistent and are brand damaging.

Fantastic pub, friendly staff, warm atmosphere, definitely come back again. Landlord was helpful from start to finish.

We was probably the first to order at around 17:30 the day we visited this terrible restaurant for our evening take away, the food should have been hot and fresh, it was disgusting!!!! We knew there was a very good reason we stop going here months & months ago but we thought we would try it again, NOTHING had changed, absolutely crap, the chicken balls were nearly un-edible , the chips were dry and the special chow mein was vile, please don’t waste your money.
