"Lovely lunch, although it would have been nice to be told what veg we would be given, as my partner didn't like red cabbage. I did not want to say anything and embarrass anyone. My lamb was delicious and his mixed roast was good too. Service excellent. The only thing was it was quite dark in the restaurant. Think it was an old building. Will go back."

"Food was excellent, every dish was enjoyed. Service was poor. Started off well but after the starters were put on the table service took a noticeable down turn. Had to call over for drinks to which the waitress started walking off after one drink was said. After mains were finished, dishes just stayed on the table, could see wait staff just hanging around or doing remedial jobs like drying glasses. After maybe 40 minutes from finishing our mains, we'd had enough and asked for the bill. By then we still had most of our dishes still on the table and never got asked if we wanted dessert. Wait staff seem young and inexperienced, restaurant didn't seem particularly busy for a Saturday night."

"Absolute disgusting treatment from the staff. We had a booking for 12 people including 7 children for a family meal before xmas, apparently a fake pot plant got knocked over so the staff stopped serving us at 8:30 and throw the plant across the bar area in a temper, we spent a lot of money there to be treated so disgusting. This is clearly not a family friendly place to take your children as you are treated so poorly. I would not recommend for a family or children or infact a group meal. Disgusting staff and treatment."

"We found The Hungry Guest after looking for a brunch somewhere in and around West Malling and decided to try it after hearing mixed reviews. On entrance the café is lovely and welcoming, big and very well stocked with artisan style breads and premium teas and sauces for sale. We were served by a very friendly member of the team who joked and laughed with us and was very happy and welcoming. Also to note regarding the service every member of staff asked how we were today, even the staff member who brought us our food and drinks, and little things like that do make a place memorable and special. We ordered and the first negative was the price. For a sausage sandwich, cheese twist (which in fairness was huge! , Caramel mocha and a cup of tea the total cost was £17. The tea was £2.75 (for a cup, not a pot! And the mocha was £4.50! Thought that these prices were a bit extortionate but paid and tried to enjoy it nonetheless. When our food arrived it was presented in an okay manor, nothing spectacular, which was a shame because I expected something special for £6.50 for sausage sandwich... The food was okay, the bread was good quality and the sausages were very good but I still struggle to justify the prices! The atmosphere in the place to me felt like it was half full with people who were just victims of daylight robbery... I wonder why. If you're in the area and want a good quality yet small breakfast for a premium price this place is perfect for you. However I doubt I will return. I will reiterate though that the staff were brilliant. Parking: There is no car park attached and road parking, which is always very busy, or parking in a paid car park further up the road is your only option however this is no fault of the café."

"Popped in on the off chance yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised. From the minute we arrived, we were greeted at the door with a smile and great selection of drinks to choose from. After looking at the menu and specials board, we decided to eat, my wife is celiac so can be limited in most local pub due to kitchen size, however once again, faultless on there behalf, even down to the bread being generally good gluten free bread. The food was spectacular With lots of flavour and even options for gluten free sponge pudding and custard I had a 3 meet burger and triple cooked chips and it was all perfect. I can say from top to bottom- a great experience! Thanks to the Staff and all involved. It’s definitely worth a visit and a lovely walk through the woods from Kings Hill."
