$$$$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.

Another Excellent Sunday Lunch We had Sunday lunch at The Vineyard and, as with previous visits, everything was spot on. The food was delicious, the service friendly and professional, and the newly refurbished interior looks fantastic. The only thing I’d suggest is improving the curb appeal. The flower beds outside could do with a tidy and some fresh planting – it would really help the restaurant make a better first impression and attract more passing trade. That aside, a great experience as always
