The Five Pointed Star, West Malling

Having been for a walk in the rain we thought we would pop into a traditional pub in West Malling for a drink and some food. The five pointed star popped to mind. We were expecting just good basic pub food.... What we got.... I ordered a sausage and bacon baguette, which arrived as a sausage baguette, when I pointed this out to the kitchen staff/cook/waiter he said ok and duly disappeared - only to return with the same thing saying "I don't know what you want me to do mate, it is written here as a sausage baguette!" I pointed out that I had ordered a sausage and bacon baguette and had been charged �1 extra. Off he went, then the bar lady came and said "Sorry darlin, I fought you ordered a jumbo! Gonna ave to charge ya an extra 80p!" So with the idea of not turning this into an argument about poor service I paid. The baguette turned up with barely one piece of bacon in it, the sausage was cheap and nasty, the bacon poor quality also, my girlfriend had a BLT which she said was greasy. The final straw was the hair in our food - Guess what at this point we left!! - DON'T DO IT - there are loads of places in West Malling that have good food and great staff this is not one of them!
