• Steak • Rochester

Booked 11 times today

Boeuf is Medway’s first Steak Frites House, a restaurant serving the ultimate steak frites experience. Brought to you by the same team at The Dead Pigeon Pub & The Greedy Banker Pub, Boeuf is a unique experience that elevates this popular French/Belgian dish.Through heavy research and years of knowledge working with beef we bring to you quite possibly the best cut of steak; Sirloin Pavé. This is a rare, premium cut of beef which has the same juicy tenderness of a fillet steak with the rich beefy flavour of a sirloin.Our menu is precise and to the point but there is no need to do more when we have the best of everything all on one plate.What makes our steak frites experience unique is we serve you the steak frites twice. Yes that’s right double steak frites!Please note due to the size of the restaurant we are unable to accommodate pushchairs or high chairs. There is also no children's menu.

• British • West Malling

Bowleys is far from your average countryside pub restaurant. Tucked along a quiet lane in a quintessential English village, The Plough was once destined to be sold to developers — until 120 members of the community came together to invest in and save their local. Following its restoration, the Yates family took over the kitchen and launched Bowleys, transforming the intimate 26-cover space into an award-winning, Michelin Guide-recognised restaurant and 360 Guide Top 20 Restaurant in the UK.Led by Head Chef Alex Yates and General Manager Grace Yates, Bowleys champions local, sustainable dining rooted in seasonality and provenance. Just 300 metres away lies The Nursery, their own kitchen garden supplying daily-picked vegetables, herbs and edible flowers — the heart of its field-to-fork ethos. Alex’s Michelin training at The Goring Hotel and Grace’s warm hospitality define its refined yet welcoming experience.

50th birthday dinner. 8 course tasting menu with paired wines plus the optional cheese course with a tawny port. Absolutely stunning. I chose the vegan menu but because I'm vegetarian they swapped stuff in that I could eat wherever possible. Fantastic evening
