2 reviews of The Marquis at Alkham in English
The place has been tastefully re-decorated since my last visit. Wine list was impressive if a little expensive. Food excellent.
I've been putting this one off as it's a bit out of the way for me. Still, its was Philip's birthday and that wqas where he wanted to go so I grudgingly said we could - Philip doesn't drive so I have THE POWER over him!
OK, I was wrong. It is a long time since I last made a 'discovery' in the East Kent area - thought I knew them all - but this is FABULOUS FOOD.
It was once a mere country pub with pub grub of reasonable quality. For those of you who like to go to a pub for a meal (as do I sometimes) this must disappoint - it is NOT a pub any more - though it does have a bar and I'm sure they would make you welcome if you just went in for a pint. This, however, is a seriously good resataurant - I mean SERIOUSLY!
The quality of food and the artistic presentation must make it a realistic candidate for a Michelin Star if they covet one. You will need to book but do yourself a favour and give it a try - you'll be back again, I reckon!
