The Fancy Goat
The Fancy Goat is a small, independent restaurant and cocktail bar situated in the heart of West Malling. Famous for its electrifying nightlife, this small establishment offers both elegant cocktails from a team of mixologists and bespoke British and modern European cuisine, from its talented team of chefs.
The menus are created by Michelin-star trained head chef Robert George, who has a great passion for food and locally sourced produce.
The restaurant has a wealth of choice, with best-quality
meats and daily supply of fresh fish across all of its menus. Choose from one of three dining areas. On entering The Fancy Goat you are welcomed by the Eley Kishimoto Lounge, a stylish brassiere restaurant. During the weekdays this is a place to dine informally but come the weekend this vibrant area comes alive and becomes an extension of the cocktail bar, providing a comfortable seating area to enjoy drinks with friends.
Situated at the rear of the ground floor, the Skylight
Room is light and airy and becomes one with the outdoor courtyard during summer months.
The Assembly Rooms is a second-floor fine-dining
restaurant. Come the evening this softly candle lit area becomes an intimate setting for the perfect meal.
Breakfast is served daily from 8:30am to 12noon Monday
to Saturday and 9am to 11.30am on Sundays. The all-day menu is served Monday to Saturday from 12noon to late.

The George Inn ‘Welcoming and Cosy’ “Another very enjoyable Sunday lunch at The George. As always, the food was excellent, the atmosphere great and the staff friendly and efficient. What else can we say about this lovely old rural village pub other than to recommend it for anyone who loves good pub food in a pretty Kentish village.”
