| Having been for a walk in the rain we thought we would pop into a traditional pub in West Malling for a drink and some food. The five pointed star popped to mind. We were expecting just good basic pub food.... What we got.... I ordered a sausage and bacon baguette, which arrived as a sausage baguette, when I pointed this out to the kitchen staff/cook/waiter he said ok and duly disappeared - only to return with the same thing saying "I don't know what you want me to do mate, it is written here as a sausage baguette!" I pointed out that I had ordered a sausage and bacon baguette and had been charged £1 extra. Off he went, then the bar lady came and said "Sorry darlin, I fought you ordered a jumbo! Gonna ave to charge ya an extra 80p!" So with the idea of not turning this into an argument about poor service I paid. The baguette turned up with barely one piece of bacon in it, the sausage was cheap and nasty, the bacon poor quality also, my girlfriend had a BLT which she said was greasy. The final straw was the hair in our food - Guess what at this point we left!! - DON'T DO IT - there are loads of places in West Malling that have good food and great staff this is not one of them!

| A traditional Greene King town pub - fairly unpretentious, with a reasonably-priced bar menu. Four real ales on - Ruddles, Abbot, Old Speckled Hen and a respectable pint of IPA (and its not often you'll hear me say that) which went very well with my ham, egg and chips. No sign of the problem customers mentioned by some reviewers below. rpadam - 22 Dec 2009 20:55 |
| If you like your pubs full of chavs and pikeys, then this is the place for you. The beer is pretty terrible, mainly because the majority of punters are drinking lager. I wouldn't give the food to my dog! chrissyboy16 - 4 Dec 2009 16:05 |
| My wife and I ate here at lunchtime on a recent Bank Holiday. Good food at very reasonable prices. I returned today and had the Cheddar Ploughmans. It was quality. For once, there was a heap of bread and almost too much cheese, salad was nice as was the IPA. Thanks. HalDavies - 9 Jun 2009 17:51 |
| Called in here last night for the first time in a few months having visited many times over the past couple of years. Nothing much seems to have changed. Standard boozer, relatively traditional but gets very busy. The beer is nothing to write home about - I had a £2.90 Ruddles County which was below par. It was either that or Green King IPA/Old Speckled Hen. Hurray. Won't be rushing back. Sharp - 22 Jun 2008 15:19 |
