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.

Update 2024 December Had the Christmas set menu which was fantastic, the traditional turkey was fine and portion size was huge, so don't eat anything before your meal. I personally thought it was couple of quid over priced. Don't get me wrong the food was good and service was out standing. The bar staff worked very hard so give them a good tip. UPDATE December 2023 Had our Christmas meal here. Great service and friendly staff. But to be honest personally I was disappointed with the mushroom soup, Christmas meal was good but could have been hotter. Still have a number of good range of real beers. Good range of draught beers, food and service excellent. Would have been nicer if the restaurant area had been warmer. Service in the normal bar area was sporadic.

Took advantage of the take away roast dinner offering. Food was well packaged and hot. Portion sizes were perfect. Beef and lamb was good quality and a large variety of vegetables included. Would recommend.

The pub is beautifully decorated for Christmas, with the log fire burning, very welcoming. Our meal was first class. The fish and chips was fresh and tasty. The beef and mash, and the chicken pie was also enjoyed by my friends. Hayley served us, nothing is too much trouble for her, assisted by a friendly young man in charge of the bar. A great way to spend a Monday evening! Looking forward to our next visit, that's Christmas Lunch with our MG Car club. Thank you.

Good food and good beer and friendly staff. Also very dog friendly. Visited again, usually go once a week whilst dog walking. Today went for dinner and had by request roasted tomato and red pepper soup which was fantastic, followed by pie of the day, beef and mushroom today and it was brilliant. Wholeheartedly recommend this pub.

I visited Turmeric square for the second time yesterday evening - the first time was a few months ago and I just popped in for a quick takeaway and was pleasantly surprised when I got home at how incredibly delicious the food was. So I came back to dine in and it was the best experience! Made that much more so because the waiter remembered me from the last time I came - Tufayel was his name and he made my dine in experience so delightful. All the team here are kind, warm and genuinely interested in you have a good meal. The food was second to none and I can't believe it was more delicious than the first time. Cant wait to come back here again, it's absolutely my top choice for a meal out in Kent. Thank you for your service.

What a great place. We visited for the first time and enjoyed the Whitebait and the Courgette Fritters to start with. The Sea Bass was great and the Cajun mussels were amazing. We finished with Creme Brulé which was lovely. Would definitely recommend and will come back again soon.

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!

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.

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.

Fantastic Sunday carvery. Extremely well organised with thoughtful staff. We took our two year old and the staff offered to move us to a table with more room when available, and even washed up his plate. Highly recommend.

We visited here on Saturday for lunch, we have a nut allergy and what struck us first was how we was greeted and asked if we have any allergies or dietary requirements which was very reassuring. The whole team went above and beyond to cater for us and the food was all made from scratch and was phenomenal. We decided to return for the Sunday roast the following day and once again we had a matched experience. This is the best pub we have been to and won’t be going anywhere else in a rush!

Had the 3 course Christmas dinner today with my wife and some friends. We’ve been before and had the pies but today had the Christmas menu. Food on both occasions was amazing and great value. Generous portions ( the Christmas main meal was a self serve carvery) great atmosphere and attentive staff.

Stopped by for a Sunday lunch on my way home. The only space available was in the garden so worth booking ahead! Turns out Sundays are carvery days... not normally my thing but I really enjoyed mine. Tried two meats and both were excellent. The trimmings etc were all very good with special mention for the cauliflower cheese! A very good lunch!

We took our little 3 year old grandson to Spadework today to do some pumpkin picking and what fun we had. So very impressed with the whole pumpkin picking setup (even better than last year and that was really good!!). A wooden train, helicopter, seats and a playhouse for the little ones to play on and so much more as well as the great pumpkin field. Volunteers were so friendly and welcoming and helped to make our whole experience a great one at the same time supporting this fabulous charity. We shall definitely be back next year - thank you Spadework.

Great little place to head to, to support their charity. Great, even with a buggy, easy to get around, plus a cute cafe. Maybe a little pricey for a pumpkin, but it's for a great cause. Lovely garden centre too.

Fantastic food! We hadn't booked a table on a Friday night (it was a last-minute decision and went out on a limb). However, they were happy to accommodate us (3 adults 2 children). My son has allergies, which they were amazing at accomadating to they even adapted the menu so he could still have the exact food he wanted! The prices are a little off-putting when you initially look at them. However, once the food is put in front of you, the price becomes a distant memory! The food was tasty, hot, fresh, and perfectly portioned. My only suggestion would be to offer a bigger appetite option on the kids menu as the portions were a little small for children aged 8 & 9. I can't wait to return!

We held my husband Harry's 'special' surprise birthday celebration in the upstairs bar/room on Sunday 24th November. Everything was perfect. The staff couldn't have done more for us, they were all great. The buffet was really tasty, using lovely bread and tasty fillings and great side dishes to accompany them. Thankyou, Jodie, Chris and all the staff who helped to make the party perfect. Christine Tobin 😍

Modern bar, relatively good selection of beers. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, the outside area is great... Large covered and uncovered areas. Not eaten here but the food I saw that came out looked great, although looking at the menu ita at the higher end of the cost scale which is to be expected for the area. Came across a relatively abrupt bar lady who I think was a manager/supervisor but the rest of the bar staff were friendly enough.

I dined at imperial dynasty on Saturday with friends to celebrate my birthday & the service was very good however after having our starter a large table of 8 lads carrying beers sat next to us. Unfortunately they soon after became very rowdy & loud that my birthday meal was spoilt as we could not have a conversation due to loudness & nothing was said to them about respecting other diners So had a very disappointing birthday meal because our friends wanted to leave the restaurant Any comments would be appreciated from The manager

A conventional British Chinese restaurant bang in the middle of the finest village in Kent. It nods towards a finer dining experience, supported by eagle eyed staff and fast food delivery. The layout of the restaurant and tables allows for a communal eating experience. This is definitely the place to go with family. Given its spot light, table lighting it offers a romantic ambience too, perfect for couples. Food is well priced and choices are varied. There is even a separate vegetarian menu. I loved the artistic oriental queues: the paintings in hallway and the miniature terracotta warriors in the hearth enhance the sense of tradition.

Food at The Bull Inn was what I expect in pub grub: wholesome, hearty and homemade. They have an excellent selection of huge savoury pies. A traditional pub with warm, inviting locals. Food was excellent value for money. After 3 courses I walked away feeling fuller than a Bull Inn Bum.

A lovely traditional pub. We held a wake for my late father there yesterday. Trevor and his staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. They my made a great buffet, set out the photos of my dad before we arrived and were brilliant throughout. If you're looking for a venue in West Malling for a family celebration, or a good pint in peaceful surroundings, the Bull is the place.

I described this to a friend as a proper pub 'pub' ! By chance, I was there for the Ukelele group night and joined in for a sing-along! Great fun. Then, on a next visit, I just happened to be there for their quiz night. When I get the chance, I will make it a regular place to visit. I did not have food, so I could not comment, but the service was good and a lovely atmosphere! There is a public car park opposite.
