Exceptional(252)
Price: Very Expensive
• British • West Malling
Booked 3 times 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.

    This has always been our favourite pub - you will see from many previous reviews and we have spent birthdays, Christmas and other special occasions here. We booked for Father’s Day and I have to say I was really disappointed with the food. My first concern was the smell of frying as we entered through the door - and unfortunately this was then realised when the food was served. The frickles which are a family fave were joined with the chicken and they were so hot from the deep fat fryer that we couldn’t eat them for 10 minutes I also ordered the chicken Milanese which again was so deep fried that it was atomic hot and I didn’t start eating it for 10/15 mins. This was being served with dauphinoise - well no it was served with sliced potatoes (maybe 2 new size) My husbands roast was nice but where has the extra special Yorkshire pudding gone with the extra gravy. I feel that it may have changed hands and I would love to see the old standard of food back.

    This is a lovely neighbourhood restaurant in a secluded location. We have been here for a number of great meals. It’s part of a very exclusive retirement property and has been opened up to the public in order to keep it utilised. The service is exceptional, often there are at least 1 member of staff for every 2 customers. The waitresses are lovely and keen to make sure you enjoy Food ranges from exceptional (fish and chips, most deserts, vegetarian) to a bit average (fatty lamb chops, bread and olives). It really depends on what you choose. I recommend everyone gives this place a try, so lovely to avoid chain restaurants and have something a bit different.
