The King's Head Pub in Staplehurst, Kent

Last Sunday I went to visit my lovely granddad in the village where he lives, Staplehurst. To my delight he insisted that we went to The King's Head which does the best pub food and the portions are always huge!

One of the great things about The King's Head in Staplehurst is that the majority of it's main meals are on a 2 for £12 offer. In my mind it's superb value that a proper English pub does such a good value meal deal. As you can see from the photo below the pub has a lovely homey feel to it and the hops wrapped around the timber helps to enhance the local British feel! There were a load of England flags up but this was only for the World Cup. 

I've been to this pub quite a few times now and I always seem to manage to try something new. I was considering they're chicken fajitas but I ended up choosing the Chicken Carbonara which had a creamy white wine and garlic sauce with garlic bread on the side. This was a bargain for only £6 in their deal or £6.75 by itself! I really struggled to clear my plate because the portion was just so big but it tasted so good I couldn't stand wasting any. 

I wasn't going to have a dessert as I was way too full but as per usual my grandad went ahead and ordered me one anyway. He chose the Toffee Pavlova Sundae for us both as in his eyes ice cream is a light desert so would be easy to eat when you're already full. It was massive!!! But it was incredible - I ate it all so fast! It had bits of toffee crisp mixed in with ice cream, meringue, cream and toffee sauce! 

I love it at The King's Head and it's become a tradition to go there each time I visit my grandad! The people are lovely and friendly when serving you and the food is out of the world!

Wildwood Italian Restaurant in Maidstone

Zee here...

Wildwood seems to have become my new regular eating place! It seems whenever a group outing is organised we always end up here as the food is just so good! Wildwoord is a delicious Italian restaurant offering a wide range of dishes such as steak, pizza, pasta, seafood etc. There is something for everyone on their diverse menu!

Below is a picture from my most recent dining experience at Wildwood. They have a good selection of cocktails and seeing as I love anything raspberry flavoured I choose the Raspberry Bellini which is prosecco with raspberry puree. This was so yummy and easy to drink however it was quite small - it did start to go to my head though so I probably didn't need it to be any bigger. For my main I had the Sausage Calzone which has become my regular dish because its so so so good! The calzone is great value for money as its massive and stuffed with so many fillings. The caramelised onions in this dish are what really make the flavour - if I could have these on every pizza I ever eat I would! Even though I was full I still couldn't resist a desert, I went for Eton Mess...which is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth! It was so tasty with sweet refreshing strawberries and light meringue it was delicious!

Soufflé Restaurant in Bearsted

Zee here...

After lots of hard work and long hours my boss decided to take my team out for lunch to Soufflé in Bearsted, Kent. I had heard that this was a really nice restaurant with incredible food which explains the high prices. 

For my starter I had 'Caesar Salad with Anchovies and Parmesan Straws' as this is my favourite salad. This was by far the best caesar salad I have ever had, the flavours were incredible and the parmesan cheese grated on top added to that taste. Personally I'm not a fan of anchovies so I only had a small amount of the straws but what I tasted was really well seasoned. This dish was fairly small which of course is normal for a starter but it was surprisingly filling!






For my main I had Breast of Chicken with a Wholegrain Mustard Sauce with a side of Hand Cut Chips. As you can see the presentation of the dish was pleasing however it looked like a fairly small portion of food - it turns out it was the perfect amount! The chicken was beautifully moist and the mustard sauce was so yummy! The dish was served with asparagus and carrots along with a couple of roasted potatoes. It turned out I didn't necessarily need the extra chips but these were delicious - you could tell that they were handmade!

For desert I had Vanilla Panna Cotta with a Raspberry Compote which has become my new favourite desert! I honestly could eat this all day everyday the flavour was so good!
I'm known for my sweet tooth but I would recommend this desert to everyone!







This is a fine dining restaurant but I truly believe the food was worth the price. I originally was going off the three course set menu which was a bargain for £19.95 but I did go off the set menu for my desert which was £7.50 alone. 

We had a fantastic time at Souffle, the food was beautiful and the service was perfect! I will definitely be going back again!
