The Best Restaurants in Snodland, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

We had a special afternoon here before Christmas. We are keen cooks and we like to go out to restaurants to have food that we couldn’t create at home and have a proper experience. This was certainly it. Every dish was out of this world. We found it hard to rank them at the end. I’m sure we will speak about this meal in years to come!

Visited for the second time last week for brunch, and wow, what a beautiful brunch we had! Food was of amazing quality, presented beautifully and the flavours were fantastic. Service was attentive, friendly and we felt well looked after. Small, but cosy restaurant, we wish it was somewhat bigger so it wasn’t so difficult to book a table, but will definitely visit for a dinner soon.

The food here is very good. Each of our seven courses from the taster menu was top quality. In line with its marketing, this is definitely a small and cosy restaurant. There are literally only 10 seats and - as far as I'm aware - only the taster menu is available. You therefore definitely need to book ahead. As it's a taster menu, you get a nice varied meal, and the menu changes each month. The food comes out promptly and in sync with the other diners. Some people choose the wine pairing option too, though a regular drinks menu is available. On our night, the chef introduced each of the dishes personally.

My husband booked a table at this establishment for our wedding anniversary, I thank him very much for the chance to have this unique experience! Food and service were beyond my expectations, we were lucky to have lovely people around, the atmosphere was vibrant and relaxing. Definitely recommend!

Well, this was a great surprise. I'd been working in West Malling all day filming, and my mother in law booked us in for dinner. She is rather discerning, and this was to be her third visit in a couple of weeks, so I had high hopes. We had the taster menu. See the attached pics and what a wonderful gastronomic journey it was. The kitchen team has obviously honed this menu to a level of layered brilliant flavour bombs. We loved this meal and every course was interesting and delicious. We had a nice, well priced Malbec, and I'll be back it it was a great meal. The staff and venue were attentive and yet relaxed. Thanks very much, and keep up the great work!

Fantastic!! My wife and I had a rare date night without the children. We have wanted to try St Leonard’s since moving to West Malling a few months ago. We decided to have a cocktail before we headed to our table and it was the best margarita we have had in a very long time. We went for the tasting menu , each dish was really tasty and well presented. The monkfish was my favourite. Wine was very reasonably priced and the service was on point. We will be back again very soon!!

Another stunning meal at St Leonard’s! I come here every time they change the menu and it just keeps getting better. The food is seasonal, beautifully presented, and tastes amazing. They also have a really good wine selection and elegant cocktails. I’d recommend the Bloody Mary or the chocolate and hazelnut martini (this is really nice for dessert too). 10/10, definitely recommend.

Four of us walked from Rochester and met a mate who came by train from Maidstone (To Halling a short 15/20 min walk). A lovely country/farming setting (very on trend I believe). The tap room is clean and tidy and you get a good look at the workings of the brewery. There is a great selection of beers ( and a cider to die for) in style, strength and taste. There are nibbles (crisps, nuts and snacks) then a food truck turned up with the most amazing burgers all served with pickles and nachos. Everything was well priced. We sat in the large covered outdoor area but inside was equally appealing. Very dog friendly. They also have a table tennis table (providing bats and ball) just for fun!

We pop into Moot most Saturdays before we go into the farm shop. We've also attended a couple of their events. We always enjoy our visits. Staff are really friendly and knowledgeable about their brews. I'm partial to a pilot cider! Thoroughly recommend.

What a lovely place to visit, i went by bike, so I had a bit of a hike uphill. Once here very pleasant, the brewed ales are really nice, reasonably priced cosy little place. The farm shop has a vast variety of foods to buy.

We didn't eat but the pizzas looked great. The beer selection was fab, I had half 6% neipa, delicious. A lovely place well worth a visit.

Always a great 5* Kebab. Donner meat is SO fresh, best I've had if I'm honest, NEVER greasy. SK stick to the minimum kebab types, SHISH, CHICKEN SHISH, DONNER & KOFTE, I find this allows them to keep delivering great food, unlike some places that offer too much on their menus. Lovely Friendly staff 😊

First time trying this Turkish takeaway, and I really enjoyed it. I opted for the chicken kebab and salad. My partner opted for the Donna kebab and salad, and then we shared a portion of small chips. I thought the portion sizes were good. Tasted delicious, and the chicken was moist and flavoursome. The pickled cabbage was my favourite, I think I'll ask for less lettuce next time and more of that! We paid £10.00 each (TBC, you don't get much these days for less than £10.00) in April 2024. The guy who served us was friendly and accommodating. Please note that they only accept cash! That did throw us, we never have cash these days, but luckily, the local CoOp had a cash machine just down the road.

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!

Lovely lunch with friends the most incredible mussels menu absolutely delicious 😋

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.

Just managed to get a seat for 2 for Sunday lunch as we were passing. Very friendly staff, even though they were fully booked, they managed to find a seat for 2. Didn't have long to wait for the food roast lamb and roast pork food was good temperature to eat, it was fresh and tasty and a good portion. Definitely be back, but I will book especially for a Sunday. The bonus was early bird before one you get 25% off and if you become a member you get money of in the week

Very nice place, lovely food, friendly and efficient staff. Well worth a visit, but be warned it's very popular and gets very busy (and noisy).

Amazing place nestled away, some of the finest Sunday roasts you will have, good selection of drinks and great value for money, the view from the terrace during the summer is spectacular.

Had a great meal, the food was fantastic and well presented. The service and atmosphere was great, I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.

Fantastic dinner out. Food was amazing, with very friendly and helpful service. Steak and lamb cooked perfectly. Well behaved dogs on leads welcome in the bar area, not the restaurant area. They had bowls of water down.

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!

Christmas lunch at The Freemasons today, fast service, friendly & attentive staff and lovely food - fanstastic value. Thoroughly enjoyed by all 15. What a lovely local pub!

Seriously amazing home made food ..very very good value for money .staff are very welcoming genuinely lovely pub

We popped in to have some lunch with the Grandkids as they have a play area that is great for the kids 😄 there is a nice outside area to have your food 🥘 while watching the kids playing 👍 the door was very nice and the staff were helpful and friendly 😎

An absolute joy,to eat at and fantastic service, great food,great value, definitely be back. Thanks to everyone who served us and all the staff and chefs.

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.

Food was excellent, staff really friendly. We will definitely go back.

Had a lovely evening having a girly catch up dinner. Food was delicious, service friendly and very welcoming. Good menu selection. Highly recommend.

Overall everything was so good, food was very tasty and portions are huge. Service was so quick and the server lady was so nice. Friendly environment definitely will come again

This is one of the best restaurants in the area. It is super clean first of all they are so friendly and welcoming it’s really nice to see that. The food is fresh and amazing the decor is modern and I just can’t fault this place. The meals are slightly pricy compared to a restaurant chain, but this is Turkish fresh food and worth every penny! The portions are brilliant I couldn’t finish mine so I was able to take it home :)

Great tasting food. I have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal!

We have now gone to Alim-et about 5 times now. Each time has been amazing! The service is incredible, you are seen to straight away, any questions you have the servers answer happily. The food is incredible as well, I can go on and on about how great the food is, especially the hummus (best I have ever had), but it is the service that keeps us coming back. This is an incredible restaurant with amazing food and top tier service. We will keep coming back!
