Good old fashioned pub, decent food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Could do with a bit of a refurb but not so much it takes away the "old pub " feel

What a lovely place, absolutely fab! Found this place on Google after looking for places that serve mussels, as my partner and I have recently started enjoying them. I'm glad we came here. So much choice of mussels and their main menu also has a good selection. We will definitely come again, hopefully on a Monday or Thursday when they have their mussels nights!

We don’t eat Mussels (although the Mussel menu had an amazing selection!), but visited and there were plenty of other options on the menu. Beef Bourguignon was delicious, it was rich, with a reasonable portion and tender meat. Great selection of drinks, wine was lovely and service was friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere and will definitely return… although we really miss the Sunday roasts from years ago, they were always our favourite place for a Sunday!!

Married to a Mussel lover this fantastic restaurant offered not only 22 different types of mussel dishes but also a great starter and main course range and a dessert menu we were too full to test. We attended in a Wednesday lunch and hadn't booked but were treated pleasantly upon arrival. The building is beautifully kept and provides a great atmosphere for a meal and chat. We took a table next to the window so we could also people watch. The portions were very generous but quality also exceptional. I would definitely return many times and would highly recommend.

This restaurant has been on my radar for absolutely years and I finally got there! And, wow, did it exceed my expectations. Yes, it's a little pricey but the location, the building, the service and the food more than make up for it however, I would say, this is a place that's definitely reserved for a special occasion. I went for the classic mussels with white wine and cream but the choice of mussels dishes is quite large, about 15 to 20 I think. There's other more traditional foods like steak if you're not into mussels, again a nice varied menu. I had tap water so I can't comment on the alcohol but there was a good selection to choose from. Another table requested to try two wines as they couldn't decide which one to have and the server brought a sample of both so the decision could be made. I've not seen many places do that nowadays. All in all, a great restaurant, great food, no complaints here, just compliments all round.

I had to find a new sugery when my dentist retired. The reviews of Franklin house were good so I booked myself in. I was extremely impressed. No hard sell, no unnecessary treatment, helpful, friendly staff. I have also recommended them to my husband and my neighbour, neither of which had attended a dentist for many years. I left the surgery feeling like I had been listened to, rather than talked at, which is like a breath of fresh air. 5 star recommendation.

Six months and still smiling. I suffer from hereditary gum disease and crooked front teeth. For many years I have had a recurring problem with abscesses on the crooked teeth. Last year antibiotics finally could not solve the problem so reluctantly I had the tooth removed. Unfortunately I then had to have the next tooth removed, both teeth were at the front of my mouth. Hardeep suggested a Maryland crown. I only needed a single tooth made as my teeth had been so crammed in. Now at 70 years of age I finally have a smile to be proud of and more important no more problems with abscesses. I would like to thank Hardeep and his team, and the person who made my new tooth.

I called this morning to get an emergency appointment for my 10 year old son. The dentist and nurse were amazing with my boy he has ASD so isn't the best at cooperating but they did a fantastic job. However, the older blonde lady in reception is not helpful or what I would call a people person. Seemed like I was putting her out wanting to register my other son on the phone, and she told me we could do it another time, I could tell it was her I spoke to when I walked in she had the very same attitude. Not welcoming or friendly. I will be returning because of the dentist and nurse only. Maybe Franklin House should rethink their receptionist as she is letting you down.

My experience at the practise has been absolutely amazing with both the dentist (Dapo) and my hygienist (Ayanda). Both have worked with me to truly make a difference in the health and quality of my teeth and I can't thank them enough. You'll get excellent service here, specialist treatment from professionals who really care about the result and how you feel throughout whatever procedure you're getting done at reasonable prices. You'll love coming to the dentist after meeting with them.

Went for an emergency appointment for a chipped tooth and ended up needing root canal, my dentist Jason was beyond amazing, at every opportunity he could he would squeeze me in to continue work on my teeth, always asking if I’m doing okay and honestly one of the most polite person I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting if it wasn’t for Jason i don’t know if I could of carried out the extensive dental work I needed with anyone else truely a spectacular dentist, I’m truly forever grateful and indebted to you good luck in your future endeavours I’m going to miss your, “ your my best patient “ comments a lot

Dentist on time. The dental work was carried out during appointment which I was surprised about as it is usually a re booking. The lady was really nice and the repair work is a high quality. Very friendly dentist. This is the first time I have had a positive experience here in 6 years.

Absolutely amazing dentist. Don't know her name, but the female dentist is superb. So relaxed and friendly, ultimate professional. Would not go to anybody else and when I found out she was annual leave over Easter, I waited six months just for my check up to be with her!

I’ve been with this surgery for many years and have always been impressed with the warm welcome and efficient team. If you’re looking for a hygienist, look no further than Nikki! She’s kind, caring, gives great hygiene advice and is overall excellent at her job. I always come out with a healthy and spotlessly clean set of teeth!! Thanks Nikki!

I recently received treatment from Mr Miller for an emergency root filling. He fitted me in the same day unlike any other practice in the area. I am terrified of dentists but he immediately put me at ease with his caring and kind manner and great sense of humour. I can understand why he is so busy and several other patients in the waiting room commented on what a great dentist he is. The reception staff and nurses were all very pleasant, happy and couldn’t do more to make me feel at ease. What a great team! I’ll definitely be back and recommend to friends and family. Thanks Mr Miller and team.

I always struggled to find a descent dentist until I found West Malling. The team there are amazing and always treat you with such care. Mr Miller is amazing at what he does and is so gentle and understanding. They put their patients at the heart of everything they do! Outstanding!

After seeing George’s work on a close friend of mine, it made me want to improve my smile so I booked a composite bonding consultation where George was very professional and explained the process and what to expect. I decided to proceed with the composite bonding only treatment and a month later, I have just finished my last appointment. I was really impressed with the how well the bonding matched my teeth and the shape looks very natural. I would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone considering composite bonding. The results exceeded my expectations! Thank you George and the team.

I have always been an incredibly nervous patient when it comes to the dentist, therefore I have put a visit off for years. Finally succumbing to the wobble of my wisdom tooth I started my research on finding the best place for me to go. West Malling Dental was by far the stand out of the crowd. I had an appointment booked within a day of me calling, so only 24 hours of working myself up! From the moment that I walked through the door to be greeted by an incredibly sympathetic Tina I felt more at ease. Tina reassured me that I was going to be well looked after, and in all honesty, I was. David sat down with me and we talked about what my concerns are and what makes me feel nervous about the dentist. He listened and really took the time to understand, and was incredibly open and honest with me in return. David and the lovely dental nurse Emily, stayed late so I could have the extraction, rather than me come back another day, which I was very grateful for. From the first point of the examination, to having the numbing injections, to the x-rays, and then to the moment the tooth was out I was petrified, but I was so incredibly well cared for. I cannot really put it into words as to how I actually feel. For some a trip to the dentist is an ordeal but for me in the past it has been traumatic and has become a genuine fear. Yesterday, the fear was faced head on and David, Emily and Tina recognised that and did absolutely everything they could to put me at ease and reassure me. I cannot praise them enough. They are all truly wonderful people.

The Sunday roast has always been fabulous at the Nevill Bull and today was no exception. It’s as good as home cooked one and we are all very fussy about our roasts. Perfect potatoes, perfect veggies just the right texture and taste, brilliant yorkies, beautiful rare beef, their world famous gravy! What’s more to ask for! Wine was also delish and puddings really delightful. Such a soft and gooey brownie, husband had the most delicious waffle and friend had fresh and exquisite ice cream. Thank you for a fabulous afternoon!

Our first visit, despite living locally for years. What a treat it was - booked in for Sunday roast, and that’s exactly what we got. Perfectly cooked meats, great roasties, bowls of carrots, beans & cauliflower cheese. Topped with the most amazing gravy. Yum, and perfectly sized to allow room for their homemade desserts. All a hit - my biscoff cheesecake a particular hit. Kids all had children’s portions, and they were smaller - but not much smaller - a decent size for hungry boys. Service was great, never kept waiting, and had loads of room for is all plus dog.

At the sharp end - We booked a birthday meal in advance for 8 people which didn't require a deposit, very handy, as it's always a faf getting the funds on time. The restaurant is situated in a narrow residential road and the parking is limited, so be wary. Decor was themed as pub with some butcher references. The bar and seating area is snug with plenty of people inside, so the temperature was good. The staff outfits were like butchers with their leather like aprons - interesting! The meals and food were excellent all accept the vegetarian options, the veggie meal ordered a little tasteless. Otherwise the service, wine and charges were definitely not cheap, Chateaubriand was £80 for two and again as mentioned the jus could have been warmer but we all agreed that we would visit again and recommend this pub....5/5

The BEST roast dinner I’ve had in a long time!! Had the chicken and beef for the 2 meat roast and it did not disappoint!! The restaurant had a really cozy vibe to it that feels like a traditional pub and still feels clean and warm. The staff were brilliant! Quick service and very helpful. Had 2 roast dinners with 2 meats, a drink each and 3 scoops of ice cream which came to around £80. With what you’re getting and what it tastes like the food is definitely worth the price! Parking is tricky! Depending on when you go, I had to park down a side road and walk but the weather was nice for the walk. Definitely recommend this place!

Such a great night. Lovely, amazing staff so if you are in West Malling I would definitely recommend going. Coming from Bradford, curry is important to us. I've never had anything that comes close beyond my home town, but Desh is a lovely place with fabulous staff and enjoyable food. It's a must place to visit if you are in the area.

Great cocktails - loved the Berry Desh with fruit, grenadine and a brilliant balancing hint of ginger. The Disarrono Anar was wonderful on my most recent visit. The Traditional sharing meal was wonderful too with lovely marinated half roast chicken, gorgeous beef biryani and a wonderful dhal murkhani. On my most recent visit both of us branched out to try new dishes and all were fantastic, so I'd encourage you to try whatever looks appealing.

Wonderful little pub, very friendly manager who showed us to and around our rooms, very clean room and plenty to choose from for the free breakfast in the room. Cosy little pub and great and friendly service there. Only suggestion (and this is no complaint) is maybe include a pot noodle or two in the room (chicken and mushroom/beef and tomato 😁) Thanks for the lovely stay!
