• Turkish • Maidstone
Booked 1 time today
Alim-Et in Larkfield is one of the best and most popular Turkish restaurants in the area. It’s a family-run spot on London Road that’s open for lunch and dinner. Alim-Et as a name is a combination of the names of the two Turkish brothers who founded this restaurant, and to this day they ensure the highest levels of quality and authenticity right across the menu. If premium grilled Turkish meat is your thing, look no further than Alim-Et. It’s worth the trip from wherever you are in the Aylesford area, just be sure to arrive having made a reservation.

Price: Very Expensive
• British • West Malling
Booked 7 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.
