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.
West Malling, largement considéré comme la capitale gastronomique de la région de Maidstone, propose une large gamme de restaurants, et le Pad Thai est son meilleur choix asiatique, attirant les gourmets de tout le Sud-Est de l'Angleterre. L'une des raisons de cette popularité pourrait être la combinaison originale d'un ancien bâtiment Tudor et d'un décor thaï invitant d'inspiration traditionnelle. Une autre raison pourrait être l'accueil chaleureux et l'excellent service. Mais sans aucun doute l'explication principale est la nourriture inégalée. Créés par une équipe ayant été au service de la famille royale thaïlandaise, les plats traditionnels sont authentiques et délicieux, faits avec d'excellents ingrédients frais.
