• Thai • West Malling
Booked 3 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 had a wonderful experience earlier today at the hengist. My husband and I saw the new Sunday lunch menu on Facebook and just had to book!!! Despite reading some of the previous reviews regarding the food, we decided to give it a try for ourselves and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Immediately when we walked in we were hit with this bubbly, warming atmosphere. A lovely lady named Julia greeted us at the door with a welcoming smile, she offered to take our jackets and took us to a beautiful table by the fireplace . My husband had the scallops and the pork, whilst I had the delica pumpkin and hispi cabbage. The portion sizes were perfect for us, and the food was delivered to us so quickly! Julia, Ollie and Leah delivered such an amazing service, being extremely attentive but also giving us the much needed time to ourselves. Leah was exceptionally polite and made us feel like royalty! After our delicious meal (too stuffed for pudding unfortunately but the table next to us had sticky toffee pudding that looked divine) we were asked if we wanted a hot drink, which was lovely to hear as not many places offer them anymore. On our departure, we were handed our jackets by the owner (Kieron) who asked us how our experience was (amazing!) and we got to chatting about the new chefs and the cocktails. Its clear to see just how much thought and passion is put into this beautiful restaurant and how hard the staff work to deliver a one of a kind service and experience. I would definitely recommend the Hengist to anyone, such a hidden gem with excellent staff and glorious food! We will definitely be coming back to try the grill night.

    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
