• Thai • West Malling

Booked 2 times today

West Malling, widely considered the gastro-capital of the Maidstone area, offers a wide range of restaurants and Pad Thai is it’s finest South East Asian offering, tempting in diners from across the South East. One of the reasons could be the combination of olde worlde Tudor building and traditionally inviting Thai inspired décor, another could be the warm welcome and excellent service but undoubtedly the main draw would be the unsurpassed food. Created by a team with a history serving the Thai Royal family, the traditional dishes are authentic and delicious, made with excellent, fresh ingredients.

I chose St Leonard’s for a joint birthday celebration with a special girlfriend. Our lunch really was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. From ensuring we were given a quiet table (a written request in my Open Table booking), to the warm and friendly welcome; attentive, professional staff; the beautiful surroundings; the delicious, artfully prepared food. Really wonderful. We decided on the spot that St Leonard’s will become the annual location for our joint birthday celebration, plus other celebrations in between! Thank you chef and all the staff at St Leonard’s for all you do to provide such a terrific experience.

Service was adequate, waitress did not know what the fish was with the fish and chips, and no offer to find out when asked! The curry was nice, but should have come with rice, poppadom and naan bread. The naans turned out to be tortilla wraps! Service was very slow, especially for drinks Restaurant area is tired and needs refreshing
