Fields at Aylesford in Tonbridge and Malling

Love the food, drinks and the company in a very comfortable and relaxed ambience.

Nice pub on busy roundabout. Small play area. Fish and chips were good.

My mum wanted to go here for her 86th birthday meal with family. Food was excellent, good service with the bonus of a 30% of mains deal .....happy days for me lol

I have visited twice in three weeks, on different day's. Although the food was ok there seems to be a problem with their supplier's as the menu had been reduced on both occasions. This was pointed out on arrival, before we were seated so by the time we went to order we had forgotten just what was on the menu and what wasn't. Might be an Idea to type up a separate " What's available Today" menu.

First I must say that the food was fine but the rest of the experience was a complete shambles. We booked for a party of 13 (6 small children. My.grandsons had booked it for their mums birthday. We got there just before 2.45 the booked time to be told that our table wasn't ready. Afte waiting for over half an hour someone came over to tell us that they were preparing our table. In the meantime we noticed the little snug area with 3 tables would suit us and asked them if they could clear the tables and we could sit there, which they did. We eventually sat down approximately 45mins late. We ordered food and drinks but after probably.about 15mins no drinks had arrived. One of.our party went up to the bar and saw our drinks just sitting there. The barman was very apologetic and said he couldn't leave the bar and someone should have bought it over, so we did it ourselves. The food was good but no-one came to ask us if everything was ok. We ordered desserts but nobody came to clear our tables so had to a least clear 2 tables by putting all the stuff on the 3rd so we could eat them. The birthday cake we had brought with us which was given a to a staffmember to bring out at the end of the meal didn't appear so we had to go and get it. The whole thing really spoilt the day,

Booked this as a celebration meal when we arrived we were told that they only have a limited menu which was a lunch menu even though this was an evening booking the there was not a lot of choice if I had known this in advance I would have booked somewhere else I was very disappointed I feel it was overpriced I had chicken tenders and only got 3 you get more at McDonald

The service was apalling poor and careless. The place is dirty not cleaned of empty dishes and the food is average. Service is slow although half empty and prices are high for the poor quality of wines. Not to be recommended.

Bitterly disappointed. I expected a lot more from here as it looks really promising roadside and tried previously to book but it was fully booked however nothing delivered. All of the meats on the Sunday roast were incredibly dry, the roasts were neither crispy on the outside or fluffy on the inside, gravy tasted watered down. What would have been a saving grace was the food came out quickly but we soon realised this was more than likely due to it probably being sat on a hot plate until service started.

Chose to train new kitchen staff on a bank holiday. Refuse entry without a booking and only offer extremely limited menu options and each staff member gave a different reason for the restricted access/menu

Hugely disappointing roast dinner here. Meats were dry with hardly any gravy, I ordered more which arrived after I had finished my meal. Food tasteless and over priced. Busy but fairly rough atmosphere despite being predominantly families there. Staff mostly polite. Won't be returning.

Went there 2nd May 4 adults for a midday meal , very disappointing, very limited menu ,used to have 2 good midday menus all you get now is the evening menu ,very limited ,no pies no sea bass no fish n chips ,,staff still very good ,won't bother again .

Food was awful. Ordered the sea bass and mixed grill, meat was tough, hard and burned, prawns in the sea bass were hard and tough. Portion sizes were small for a large price, took ages to order because of low staffing. Presentation on the mixed grill was awful, looked like it had been chucked on the plate. I have been here twice in the last 6 months, both times the food has been poor, and understaffed. Will not be attending again.

Nice modern pub with a good selection of drinks, and some nice zero / low alcoholic drinks such as Erdinger. Large garden, but quite a lot of road noise, as obviously the pub is on a busy road. Couldn't try the food as we were told they only had 1 Chef on and we had to have booked. Service was very good otherwise.

The team at your establishment consistently creates a welcoming atmosphere, which is always appreciated. However, I've noticed a recurring issue with the speed of service from one particular bar staff member during my last couple of visits over the past eight weeks. While they are polite, their lack of urgency makes the process quite slow. On a separate occasion, I unfortunately found a hair in my roast dinner. I discreetly informed a member of your team. While I understand these things can happen, it did unfortunately spoil my meal. I didn't ask for any compensation as I dislike causing a fuss, but I was a little disappointed that the only response was an apology, especially as I was making a further purchase at the bar. Perhaps a gesture like offering that drink on the house would have been a nice touch in terms of customer service.

Good menu, good value, good service. Will go back for another birthday celebration as they cater for just about all tastes.

On arrival i was ignored by a member of staff who was busy tapping away on the laptop. Stood there for ages before having to repeat my name twice before my booking was found. Then shown to a table that wasn't really big enough for 8 despite other tables being unused we were told to stay there. We were then given menus and made our decisions, only to be told that 50% of the menu was unavailable. Of the basic options left, we made our choices. When the food was delivered the waitress had forgotten which steaks were which and confused sweet potato fries with chunky chips. The saving grace in all this was the waitress who took our orders, she was brilliant and the food was decent. Everything else was a disaster!

Staff very friendly and helpful, pub had a great atmosphere and beautiful decor inside qnd out food was great

"I’m giving 3 stars, but only because the staff were absolutely lovely—helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, the restaurant itself left much to be desired. The unpleasant smell from the toilets was noticeable, which really detracted from the atmosphere. As for the food, the promise of an exceptional pie from a Michelin chef was what drew us in, but it fell far short of expectations—at best, it was on par with a supermarket’s premium range. The experience was deeply disappointing, and the advertising felt misleading."

Nothing wrong with the service, our server was lovely. However, I have eaten many times here and the food has been fine, sadly not this time. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and when it arrived there was literally chunks of cold, unmelted cheddar cheese and a strip of bacon so small it wasn't worth the effort. I spoke to our server, who was very apologetic, not her fault, she returned my meal to the kitchen to be rectified. It came back with the cheese melted but no more bacon. They really need to pull their socks up here as they used to be so much better.

Nice clean pub. Lovely decor. Wonderful food a great service. I have no complaints at all. 5stars for me. 😊

Main courses were delicious, came out hot, no problems. Sadly the apple crumble came out cold. Sent it back and there was nothing for 10 minutes so I asked for a refund instead which they did. Shame because the mains were nice and the playground was great for the kids. Just a disappointing end on the puddings.

Booked a table for Easter Sunday. Waited ten minutes to be greeted by someone and taken to our table. Waitress didn't ask us if we wanted a drink. We waited fifteen minutes and we actually had to ask one of the waitresses over and order drinks and it was almost as if she thought how silly of us to order a drink. Waited another twenty minutes, after continuing to try to get the waitresses attention, and we had to ask if we could we order food. Food came covered in gravy, when other places put gravy in a little pot, just in case you don't want a soggy Yorkshire pudding. Carrots were massive and just cut in half. Then the waitresses kept walking past and looking at our table when we had finished and again we had to keep trying to get her attention to pay the bill. They missed out on us ordering some more drinks, ordering dessert. Such a shame as they really weren't that busy on Easter Sunday.

Never ever have a been so poorly. We had to ask to order as it was like we were forgotten about, we wasn't told when we sat down that there's no lunch time menu on a bank holiday. So we ordered and wish I hadn't. Went for the steak and pie duo.. its just basically microwave food which I didn't know before we visited. The carrot was grey, the kale looked a week old. It was just bland and mehhh Then even though the lady saw we had finished we waited ages again and I had to get up and ask for the bill. She was more bothered about bigger parties leaving maybe for tips .. I dunno? My belly was bad an hour after all night and this morning I'd avoid ..

Terrible service. Food is cold and bland. Very expensive for what you get. Avoid

I booked a table for 4 on Friday 11th April When we arrived at Fields there was a notice on the door to say that owing to unforeseen circumstances they were closed. How long does it take to E-Mail this info I have tried to complain on your site but it does not seem to work

We booked a table for 7pm. We waited at the door for 25 minutes before someone came to seat us. We asked whether they were particularly busy and was then told that there was an hour delay for food so we left. We weren’t offered any drinks or anything whilst we waited or any apology or explanation.

Edit: 15.4.25 Booked to come to the quiz tonight almost most two weeks after the review. Got a call to say the quiz would be on tonight but there would be no food. Imagine being a pub/restaurant and not serving food. What in the world is going on there? Obviously a person replied to my initial post about things being better, well they clearly are not. We used to come every single week to eat, drink and play the quiz. We will not be back. Such terrible management of operations. This used to be a great place. Recently, something has changed. The food quality has gone down, the place feels shabbier including a pungent smell in the toilet area which wafted out in to the restaurant area. There is clearly something going on and it's quite sad to watch. Has it been taken over by new management or is money low as it has really gone downhill.

Only a set menu we could pic from for adults, no children's menu given , 1 chef, 1 sever, no advanced warning , no one told us until we questioned the menu. We could tell service was extremely slow so we booked somewhere eles to go. A heads up would have been the right way to go for pre booked guest or even something when waiting to be seated for 14 minutes or even when seated by a waitress . Terrible service.

Very good service even though busy.

Very well set out with lovely atmosphere. Food and service were amazing

Nice relaxing atmosphere for reasonable pub grub.

Don't waste your money here. Family of 4, seated next to the toilets entrance, very smelly area, disgusting!. very friendly service, but it took ages for every single item to be served. Dishes rather cold when served, other tables next to us also complained to staff due to the slow service. Not the best experience for mother's day. This restaurant service has deteriorated enormously, to never return again.

EDIT- we have a confirmation email which reads "your booking at the fields at aylesford is now confirmed" along with a booking reference number so not sure why you've replied what you have and completely contradicted what you told us in person!! One thing to cancel an 8 person booking without informing us as such but another level trying to lie your way out of it. Happy to provide screenshots!! AVOID!! Turned down on Mother’s Day despite having email confirmation of our booking! Was told when we got there that the booking was rejected despite having email confirmation and no communication to tell us as such so wasted journey. Rude staff with no apology just telling us it’s our fault even tho we definitely haven’t had any emails telling us it was cancelled (yes we checked spam folder too!). Last time we went it stank here as well seems to be a common problem! AVOID

Booked online when eventually got through on there site to find no booking. Not helpful so walked out

Sunday roast disappointing, would not choose that again, couldn't eat it. Food is usually cold, could not covers be placed over food as staff have quite a walk to the customers.

Had a lovely meal here. Great decor and waiting staff

Mark was brilliant, great service

Very friendly staff and the food was marvellous.

Nice interior but sadly only positive. Had Mother’s Day meal, drink order taken fairly early but then waited and waited, our waitress stood at bar chatting while our drinks were ready next to her. She then got other drinks for someone after us (3 of us not large order) eventually she then gave our drinks. Starter eventually came out, minus a truffle mayo for mine. Waitrose never came over to check on us for me to ask for it. Waited again for 3 roasts, they came and she left us with no cutlery so we took from another table that no one was sitting at otherwise our dinner would have been cold. 2 of our dinners had things missing so we got another waitress to get for us. Gravy was so thin, roast potatoes should have been herb and garlic crusted and they weren’t, the one Yorkshire was so hard that when you managed to cut it just crumbled so couldn’t eat it, my son asked for no red cabbage but none of us got any as that was messed up as well, again our waitress never checked on us unlike the other one nearby who seemed very helpful to her customers. Went and spoke to a manager, told him straight away we wasn’t after a refund but wanted him to know how bad it was. He asked if I was now waiting for bill but I said we wasn’t still waiting to order dessert, he took order but not really any apology from him. He came to us and told us 5 tickets before our order, fine at least we was told. The amount of custard to go with crumble was the smallest we have ever been given (was this because we moaned!) brownie came out with most of ice cream melted as obviously been sat waiting to be delivered to us. As restaurant goes especially on Mother’s Day it wasn’t as busy as expected so no real excuse for such poor food or waitress service from our lady. Was there for just over 2 hrs way to long for 3 people eating.

Had a lovely lunch - Mark our server was amazing, really friendly and helpful!

STAY CLEAR!! No option for 0 stars!! Was turned away on Mother’s Day of all days despite having a booking confirmation, was told the booking was rejected with no communication to ourselves that this was the case! Wasted journey and ruined Mother’s Day. Staff were not very apologetic and rude. Avoid here at all costs. If you do happen to book then be aware they’ll likely cancel it without telling you - my advice go elsewhere for better food and customer service.

Arrived for a booking but was told the entire pub was running 45 mins late so had to leave and come back. When we returned, the service was very slow, surrounding tables dirty with black bin bags in the dining area and food was lukewarm at best. I had to ask for it to be reheated. Staff not very accommodating or sorry about our experience. They had oversubscribed on bookings and clearly couldn't meet the demand. Will not be returning.

Turned up for a pre booked reservation to be told they had cancelled it and not informed us And had no interest in serving us

Happy friendly staff, very clean, great service excellent food

The service was really really slow, food definitely wasn't up to the standard of a lot of these reviews state. Was cold and undercooked. Unfortunately wont be returning.

I have been here many times and always had a lovely meal, however today was very different. I understand it was very for a sunday, but, people who came in after us were served before us, when asked for the missing cutlery from our table we were told it was on the dishwasher but 5 minutes later another member of staff gave us the missing items and they were cold and been out of the dishwasher for some time. The member of staff that was firstly asked about the missing cutlery did apologise but in a very sarcastic tone. When our food arrived the roast lamb was lovely, however the roast chicken was very dry and the cauliflower cheese had a non-existent sauce and the stalks were very hard and couldn't be cut. When we complained about this the member of staff was very apologetic and did take the roast chicken from our bill. We will return but not for sometime, they did explain that they had a new chef. Please don't let this out you off as it is usually very nice, maybe just go at a quieter time.

We left after waiting 45 mins to get a drink There staffing levels were very poor Overall the worst place we have been to. Will not be returning.

Lovely food lovely place and such a friendly waitress

Came here as a large group for a birthday meal. To start with, the entire restaurant stank of sewage. We was told this was due to them having the toilets and drains sorted out. Secondly, a waitress came over and informed us there’s no cheese starters, no steak, no chicken kebabs, no pie and no fish & chips. Great start as the menu isn’t huge anyway. Then the food came out around 45 min later, which none of us really enjoyed. It was seriously lacking in flavour and quality, very dry and bland. Not surprised they can offer 30% off almost all of the time. The glasses were dirty and fizzy drinks were flat. Then for desserts- no vanilla ice cream. The staff all looked miserable and the atmosphere was miserable. Won’t be returning.

Awful experience, food, staff, premises all below average. Smell of drains was off putting to diners. Poor experience.

Most the food on the menu wasn't available due to a delivery not turning up the day before and we had to wait 40 minutes for our food what was over done completely. It's completely gone down hill since the changed the name of the place.

Food was awful burger wasn't cooked properly and still pink and ordered lamb which pic on website look lovely when got it was 4 small tiny slices veg wasn't cooked properly either. Some staff friendly and others couldn't be bothered to serve you and just rolled their eyes. Wouldn't collect glasses off table also glasses dirty and not washed properly building looked nice from outside shame about the food.

They always have friendly staff working here, food is of good quality, plus it's cheaper than the Thomas Wyatt.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was lovely too

Such a lovely and welcoming restraunt. It was my first time visiting here, I always drive past saying i want to try it and I finally did. I chose to eat from the lunch set menu, presentation was lovely and food was tasty. After eating, we grabbed a drink from the bar and sat outside to enjoy to sunshine 🌞 I'll be back in a few weeks for my partners birthday meal.

Beer and wine glasses very dirty, they don't seem to clean them properly 🤢 When ask for a new one they all the same. They don't seem to be sorting the issue out any time soon.

Unfortunately my visit today we had not pre-booked around 2 to 3pm and it was a 45 min wait to get food so we left hungry and disappointed but I do know there food is nice so I've based my review on my last visit which was recent.

On a Sunday with 2 children Waited nearly an hour for main Ordered desert one sticky toffee pudding with ice cream, having to cancel desert and get a refund because the wait was too long Never will use this pub again Roast not upto standard Over priced Not a good experience

Took a long time for us to be seated then the food took forever to arrive then the food came out and was a small portion

Been coming regularly for a number of years. Used to be lovely, but has been slowly declining and today was enough. Inexperienced waitress took 10 minutes to take our order, initially getting everything we asked for wrong. Drinks then took a further 20 minutes to arrive (after sitting ready at the bar for ~15 minutes). When food arrived, it turned out the waitress had still gotten it wrong, not realising there were two different meat & pie options on the menu. Food was taken back to the kitchen, only for the same plate to return 10 minutes later, now with the right meat but cold everything else. My wife's overcooked burger was a far cry from what used to be served, and was much closer to what you'd expect from a kebab shop

Waited 45 minutes before our order was taken. The food isn’t worth the money. Couldn’t request removal of a veg from the curry as comes ready made. I wouldn’t come back.

Amazing food, 5 stars even though they were short staffed and the staff were rushed off their feet, they kept their heads so we didn't mind waiting an hour for starters.

Just got home from the fields and I must admit the food was absolutely fantastic and they went above and beyond for us, we felt sorry for the staff as they were rushed of their feet and short staffed but they were fantastic in keeping it all together and not giving up when I know these times can be stressful! But they kept their heads high and kept going with a smile on their faces and that's all that matters. It was appreciated 👍 Thankyou! To all the staff/chefs at the fields.

Nice and clean, cheery staff, good food, and good prices.

The food was good but the restaurant stank of sewage it was disappointing as it was my daughters 17th birthday meal made us feel quite I’ll and not sure if we would revisit again shame as we go there quite often 👎

My last experience was a bit disappointing but I will give it another shot.

The atmosphere is perfect but the rest is not… it’s a shame bc the place is really nice decorated etc

Good food,good service,attentive staff relaxing.

My Partner and I met on a first date 2nd March 2024 and spent 4 hours over lunch, spectacular we are both in our 80's and have been alone for many years, so I arranged the same table 1 year later Sun 2nd March 2025, the atmosphere was electric and the food and service was second to none, thanks to all the staff particularly Lovely Cassandra who played photographer for us, bless you young lady. We will be back again several times.

Cheryl is pleasure and looks after us every time we come in

All great except cleanliness. As with every visit tables left with dirty plates and glasses for considerable periods. Staff serve food and just walk past dirty plates so easy to resolve. In an area known for a fly problem( hence nets on windows) this could be a real issue in the summer.

We came today and arrived a little early and was told our table wasn’t ready yet, as it was very busy, which was fine by us but within 5 minutes of being there we was told they had made a table ready for us which was great as we had 2 hungry kids. Our waitress who served us was called Cassie, she was extremely nice, took our order efficiently (we are fussy eaters) and she seemed very organised. Our food arrived hot and fresh and was absolutely amazing. Cassie came over and asked if everything was ok wi to our meal and asked if we needed more drinks. We ordered dessert which was also fantastic. I would recommend the fields to everyone. The roast dinners are amazing

wonderful greeting and service from Cheryl

I come in most fridays and Cheryl always greets us with a smile. She is always more than happy to help.

Had a great evening, service from Mark was superb, thank you

Why the smell completely spoilt the evening

Family meal to celebrate husband & daughter-in-law's birthdays. Lovely decor giving homely feel. Friendly waiter, Mark, who provided a great service Food was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Great Sunday family meal celebrating 2 birthdays 🎂 Food was brilliant and great service, Mark was very friendly and accommodating 😀 High recommended 👌

Mark was very helpful and moved us because of the smell, he was very helpful

Restaurant closed due to sewage smell Very quiet but service extremely slow 45mins between starter and main Customer service non-existent had to take our plates to the bar to clear our table before they realised we were still waiting for mains Rats seen running in the gardens

We stumbled across the pub/restaurant on lunch time Thursday, we really enjoyed our food and our time there. Our waiter, Mark, was so lovely and nothing was too much trouble for him, he was so polite and was also lovely to our little girl.

Great service from Mark, good food, unfortunately an awful smell from the drains impacted the atmosphere and environment

Had a lovely meal here. I was really impressed with the place, it's was a nice layout and the staff were amazing. Ruby, and one gentleman, I didn't catch his name, we're so attentive. Nothing was too much for them. The food was really nice, other than the steak which was very gristly. I'd definitely return

Mark gave us good service and was very friendly. Would definitely come back

Mark was attentive to our needs, very friendly and excellent service

Had an amazing meal at The Fields. Mark was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble

Lovely food and great service as always - Thanks Mark!

lovely evening, Mark was our server and did a great job! very fast and easy :)

Me and my girls came out for dinner and we had Mark serve us and he was fantastic. The food was lovely and a great atmosphere.

Excellent place to go to for lunch or dinner 👍

Consistently poorly managed. They seem unable to send food to your table with any resemblance of haste. Terribly slow service. After waiting 15mins to be served yesterday we were refused bar food because they couldn’t properly manage the waiting diners in the restaurant. We wont return.

Maneger behind the bar awful and the stench of poo unbelievable! Wow never again
