The landlady, Tina, and staff did a fabulous job of making my daughter's surprise 21st birthday party a great success. We had buffet style food, which was delicious. The music was fantastic, great atmosphere and fun had by all. All guests said they had a great time. Thank you!

I think this is one of the greatest restraunts around in West Malling! The atmosphere is great and the staff are really friendly and so are the other customers. We have been going to the Scared Crow for several years and always get a great warm welcome! The food is EXCELLENT! I highly recommend the Chilli Crocker and the Fajitas!

As part of a large party we all had great food, a warm welcome from the staff and an all round pleasing experience. This is a great pub as well as a great restaurant.

I took my mum to the scared crow as it was just me and mum together this year, the food was amazing especially the roast dinners we had! My mum said that she thoroughly enjoyed her meal and it was cooked to perfection! Will defiantly go again but for my birthday and really looking forward to my next visit!

Dear Keith, The restuarant was full to the brim that day and many roast dinners were served to satisfaction. All our meat is ordered fresh daily and cooked on the premises and the veg you had that day was mashed sweed and carrot and fresh roast potatoes, perhaps you are used to the pre cooked kind.

We too went for date night on the recommendation of a friend, but it was very expensive prices for very bland food. I paid £15 for Nachos expecting something spectacular and was left hugely disappointed..how can you get Nachos wrong?! How can they have no guacamole?! Why would you put a cream and white wine sauce on the chicken?! It... More

I feel I must respond to your poor review as I have spoken to my staff who were working on the evening in question and they have assured me there were no complaints from any of my customers that day. With regard to the chicken in cream sauce, this is clearly stated on our menu how the dish is cooked... More

As above. Thought dessert was a little expensive but then they seem to be everywhere nowadays. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back for more fajitas.

Foods always good, and they have my fav jalenpano poppers yum. Service can be a little hit n miss but food more than makes up for it, n good value too. We were the only people in there due to snow so atmosphere was a little limited

A must try I'd say and we will be back. Atmosphere was relaxing as we were in for lunch and pre christmas is hectic. Nice buzz from laughter. Staff were friendly and personable. Could not ask for more. Wish it was my local.
