Lovely village pub. We had a great Sunday lunch. The roasts were lovely but the puddings were even better.

A write up in our local paper advised this pub was under new management and having watched the build going on I was interested to see the final result. First things first. I am sure you have to pay for the booking company you use. They are rubbish, I needed to tell them we had an additional option of NOT wanting to bring a dog as this was not an option. I could not place a booking for lunch on a Sunday for more than 6 at lunchtime, 15.30 is not lunchtime. You are wasting your money with this system. You are not big enough to need them, get rid and save money. Following Covid and the resulting staff shortages we were prepared for a mixed reception as we arrived for a full Sunday lunch following a good 6 mile hike with our walking group. I had already read many of the latest reviews and, generally, as there were more positive than bad felt it time to give it a try. All six of us had two course Sunday Roasts and the general consensus was that they were good. The food was very hot and arrived on hot plates which is always appreciated. There was ample quantity hence why none of us could run to a desert this time. I have to add the service was good and attentive and we were checked a number of times to see if we were alright for drinks. These are all things that do not happen elsewhere. There had been a small fire a few weeks back resulting in smoke damage to the soft furnishings hence our metal chairs were a little uncomfortable with no padding, but again not a deal breaker. The ‘optional’ service charge was only 10% again a good call and there was a little charge for the additional gravy jugs but again not a problem (Alex Politzi would be proud in the margin accounting!) In short all of our group would be happy to come back again. I would personally cycle over from Tunbridge Wells to dine here again and pass a number of good pubs on the way. Such is the quality and staffing of this place, good luck going forward.

Headed here after a walk as FB page showed Dorkijg Brewery ales... I tried the bitter and pale.. they are such great beers but please clean your lines !! Also, make sure you run only the number of hamdpimps you can turn over. Less is more. The idea is great, keep it up. But look after your ales. Its what builds great pubs. Good luck.

I have known this pub for over 30 years and I really want it to succeed, but I'm increasingly disappointed by it, over the last few months. The staff are always lovely and a quick brunch is usually good, but my last two visits have been expensive and of a poor quality. A fairly grim Sunday lunch, followed a week later by a very average supper, where my vegetables were barely cooked...... The menu is not broad enough for a village pub, it is getting too expensive and the quality really is not good enough, nor does appeal to enough types of people, families, veggies, .............. where is the pub grub? The affordable, simple food, which a local pub needs to provide, to serve the village..........? Such a shame..........

The lovely serving staff were as friendly and welcoming as ever, but something has happened to the food. It seems there is a new chef, not really on the ball. Mains menu was all fish except for steak and pesto pasta, so not great if you don't eat fish. Most of the fish dishes had meat sauce or flavouring (chorizo in most dishes), so no good for vegetarians. The paella was disaster: nothing like a Spanish paella - no chicken (OK, you can do seafood paella) but far too much chorizo so drowned all other tastes, very liquid (should be dryish), soft rice, no saffron/turmeric; it was just a under-average soggy seafood risotto. Prices are not cheap, so if quality doesn't return, you risk losing the custom you've slowly built up.

Had a late Sunday lunch recently and was disappointed with the roasts. The chicken was off the menu and the beef roast was more like braised steak. Tiny Yorkshire pudding and a small amount of veg - a few tiny roast potatoes, one stick of broccoli and a few savings of parsnip. Not value for money or filling. The ambiance was ruined by 80s music on a tinny sound system. We were hoping that things had improved under the new management (this pub has a frequent churn) but not enough to compete with other pubs in the area selling better food and cosier atmosphere.

and a warming cup of hot chocolate. From the ambiance to the quality of food, every aspect of my experience was exceptionally satisfying. the restaurant's welcoming atmosphere instantly put me at ease. The cozy interior, with its soft lighting and tasteful décor, created a soothing escape from the outside world. The attentive and friendly staff also added to the overall positive experience, making me feel right at home. The restaurant's food is simply outstanding. From the first bite to the last, every dish is a delightful explosion of flavors. The carefully crafted menu offers a variety of mouthwatering options that cater to all tastes. The ingredients are of the highest quality, prepared with precision and finesse. Each plate is beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's attention to detail. It's a truly remarkable dining experience that leaves you craving for more.

we dropped in for a beer this Sunday afternoon. Looks a bit pokey from outside but its surprisingly bigger than it appears. Love the green walls in the restaurant, looks fresh and appealing to the eye. Both boys and gals loo were fresh and very clean. Always a bonus in a public house. I would say this is definitely a sports bar type environment. The bar person and cook on this visit were very hospitable and friendly. We decided to have a meal. The menu is quite slim. The establishment is under new management and this might be why. We both had the same meal which cost around 36£. Sadly what was on the plate didn't reflect that rather high cost, in our opinion. I would probably suggest making the plate smaller instead of spreading 3 potatoes 1/2 carrot and a tablespoon of cabbage ( menu said cauli/cheese )under luke warm beef slices and watery gravy, to make the meal look like 18£ worth. Again, just my opinion.

Staff Christmas meal. We normally go to another place to eat for our staff meal. So this was new. Food was ok but no extras like we had before of veg and extra potatoes and other stuff. Staff afterwards wanted to go back to old place. We were surrounded by people just in for a drink so it felt a little uncomfortable. Will need to go again with a smaller group to give a fairer review .

This dog friendly pub was a great find after our walk on the Penshurst estate. There’s a small car park but plenty of street parking if that’s full. There are a few outdoor tables at the front and a paved courtyard with more at the back. If you have a dog and need to be inside they are welcomed if in a lead and well behaved. Ours were given a drink and some treats on arrival. Lovely touch.

To avoid an accident on A21 we took an alternative route and passed through Leigh at lunchtime. Spotting the Fleur de Lis we parked and were greeted warmly by the landlord. We decided to eat outside in the pleasantly furnished outside space. The specials board had some interesting dishes but we chose a light meal of duck livers on brioche excellent and a duck stir fry, also very good although for my personal taste a little too much sauce. My husbands real ale was well kept (can’t remember the name). We found the staff very friendly and attentive and having discovered the pub by accident we will make it one of our regular lunch destinations.

Good local beers and an extensive menu with some interesting dishes. after our ramble on arrival at the pub, a long table had been set up for us (around 20) and the meals appeared very promptly and were in my opinion beautifully cooked and presented - I had a pork chop with all the trimmings which was absolutely delicious. I would have no hesitation in dining here again and thoroughly recommend the Fleur De Lis.

A rather pleasant dinner was made extremely uncomfortable by the rudeness of the manager towards my party and even the staff.

In Kent it is easy to find nice pubs in small villages, with delightful surroundings, such are the joys of visiting or living here. However, to find such a pub, set in a delightful village, with friendly locals, a great selection of drinks, amazingly high quality food, yet highly reasonable prices, is rare. Fleur de Lis is such a place. The pub is well looked after, the staff are delightful, the food is incredible, and the prices are far too low for the quality of cuisine and very generous portions.

Having lived in the village we have been going to Fleur de Lis for many years. It has had several different management over the last 8-10 years, some good some rather average. It is simply sad to visit these days. Sometimes food and service is good but too often it is poor. On the surface things are fine but if you have any complaints the attitude from management is far from 'customer friendly' - perhaps 'arrogant' sums it up.

We were looking for a dog-friendly pub as we were visiting family in Tonbridge. Google to the rescue and up pops this place.In the main, we loved the food. I had the roast lamb which was amazing. My wife had the Chicken burger and sweet potato fries. Kids had chicken burger and chips. Unfortunately the sweet potato fries and the chips were a bit too salty.We then went onto some pudding. Lemon meringue pie and chocolate brownie. Lovely. Very impressed with the range of ales on tap, especially a Timothy Taylor Boltmaker.Only other downside I would say are the prices are quite steep and then there is the 10% discretionary service charge on top. Personally I prefer to reward good service and potentially give more than the 10%.The staff were very attentive and friendly and brought a big bowl of water out for my dog. I would definitely recommend this place and one day we will return, although we'll have to save up first.

We popped in here after passing by, without looking at any reviews. It is the only pub/restaurant in a small Kent town, and did some interesting dishes with traditional Sunday roasts. It is mixed. The Sunday roast was huge, with fine accompaniments but the meat was overcooked. On the other hand, the lamb shoulder was outstanding, absolutely fantastic. Similarly, with desserts the sticky toffee pudding with honeycombe ice cream was as tasty as I have had anywhere - not elegantly presented, but hardly the point. The chocolate brownie was dull in comparison. As a solid Sunday roast/traditional Pud English pub, this place gets a comfortable three star decent but instantly forgettable rating. But there are some gems on the menu that would hold their own anywhere.

We took our new addition (Spanish rescue dog) to this pub and couldn't have been made more welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, reasonably priced and both the landlord and landlady were lovely. We will DEFINITELY be back!

My sister and I arrived at 4pm to find a board which stated that lunch service hours were 12-2.30. We thought we'd ask if there was anything to eat available but expected it might just be crisps. The lady said that the kitchen was closed and the chef had gone home but that she could probably sort out something like nachos. A man sitting just behind said that if we were to let him know what we'd like he would cook it for us (he was the owner). Amazing! I can't remember the last time someone in a pub/restaurant had been so flexible as usually they just shrug their shoulders and it becomes your problem that you didn't adhere to their serving times. We felt that the staff had gone out of their way to make us feel welcome and will definitely return with our friends and family.

This is a charming little pub with a rather lovely staff, who welcomed us in a very friendly manner. It was a flying visit for us, as we were en route to another venue, but we were quite captivated by this establishment and we will definitely return, especially as we understand that the food is very good.

Did a walk from Penshurst to Leigh with my daughter, timing it perfectly for lunch at the Fleur de lis. Hadn't booked...which was the first problem! Not a particularily warm welcome but we were reluctantly shown to a table. On a plus side the menu looked nice and the food was good, although delayed. Think the landlady must have been short staffed as she was rather brusk and almost rude when we observed her serving both us and others and the landlord wasn't much better! Would we come here again - no!

This appears to have been recently refurbished and is now a gastropub, rather than a pub that does food!?The decor is tasteful and the layout good. The proprietors are very welcoming and the other staff are very pleasant. They also played decent background music.There was a decent variety of drinks available, but the menu was a real conundrum! So many nice things, that it was tough to make a choice!!When the food arrived, it was absolutely delicious.Highly recommended. We will certainly be eating there again!

I had a lovely surprise lunch at the fleur for my birthday, and could not be happier! Liver and bacon cooked to perfection. My wife had a cheddar and Brie ploughmans, which was equally lovely.....great value, atmosphere and a lovely welcome from the landlord and landlady, highly recommend.

This was my second visit in a few weeks and both times I've been really impressed by the tasty food and friendly service. We visited for a Sunday lunch, the roast beef was so tender, the roast potatoes really crispy and fluffy and lots of well cooked veg. Games and colouring for the children and friendly service. We will definitely return.

We stopped here en route to London Gatwick. What a charming pub with a charming proprietor! We three had the BLT, mushroom burger, and cheese board. Every bite was delicious! There is also an outside patio in addition to interior dining. Definitely worth a stop!

We had booked a table inside but the sun shone so there was no problem changing our minds and sitting outside. The staff couldn't have been more obliging or attentive. We asked for more veg and gravy and it came instantly. Food was excellent, toilets clean and smart. The only thing that needs attention is the lock on one of the doors in the ladies, hence not an 'Excellent' review. Will look forward to returning soon. Children and dogs welcome.

Food mixed bag - coronation chicken and jacket potatoe- minimal chicken with no sauce on dry potatoe, quite disappointing/ not actually easy to eat. Other dinners were better. Minimal desert portions. Overall - spartan fare + huffing about children, so disappointing.

Live in this village but often pop in for a quick bite to eat. Faultless food always well presented and plentiful. Nice interior.

We dropped in on our way through on a Monday lunchtime. Nice Building, pleasant interior. We were impressed by the friendly atmosphere and the excellent Timothy Taylors "Landlord" guest ale.The choice of food was not vast, which I took as a good sign, and we settled on a prawn curry and a lasagne. We made a point of visiting again this Monday (chilli con carne, ham egg and chips, beer still good ) and resolved to make the trip from Sevenoaks one evening just to check the atmosphere, you understand.

Faultless. One of us had the roast pork and one of us had the roast beef. Came with great potatoes and lots of delicious veg.

Given that this was our second walk in February we could not have chosen a better location. There was no problem in our having to trim our original 12 to nine due to sickness; it was their loss. A superb roast lunch was had by all and our resident celiac was well catered for. Great piping hot food arrived on hot plates and in plentiful supply. Come here as a walking group, come as a family (yes children are very much welcome) come as a couple but above all COME NOW.You will not be disappointed.

We visited the Fleur de Lis today for lunch with an elderly Aunt, we travel up from Folkestone every couple of months to visit her, and we always come out for lunch at this pub, as needless to say at 91yrs old she doesnt cook very much !! It is our second visit since the new Landlords Joanne & John have been in charge and if possible the food was even better.Hubby started with his usual Whitebait which is a lovely generous portion, Aunt had Stuffed Mushrooms(with goats cheese) and I asked for Nachos as a starter portion which of course was "no problem" and it came with 3 dips - all were very tasty and well presented.Aunt then had Pork Medalions in a mustard sauce,new potatoes and red cabbage,Hubby had Prawn curry from the specials board with a choice of 4 diff sauces,he chose Passanda it comes with Rice,Nan and mango chutney-he thought it was delicious, and wishes that we lived closer and Im sure he would be at all of your "Curry Nights" if we did !!I too chose from the specials board Homemade Chicken & Leek pie,Mash or Chips and seasonal veg-it was delicious and the shortest Shortcrust I had tasted in a long time !We really couldnt fault any of our choices they were all delicious. The portion size is generous, food freshly cooked-so worth any wait when busy, and the service friendly and attentive.Thanks for a very filling and enjoyable lunch.See you again next time we are in Leigh.

Called in at 8pm on a Thursday night. Very friendly service - couldn't have been more accommodating. The pub was inviting, and we relaxed into the evening. Great pint of house bitter and a small but decent wine list.Traditional pub menu with plenty of choices - excellent burger with a nice chilean cabernet sauvignon by the glass. At this stage of the evening we were the only ones eating but the atmosphere was still very cosy.Highly recommended.

We were visiting friends in Tonbridge and wanted to get some lunch, so we popped across to Leigh and stopped here. We found the staff very friendly and very quick to sit us down, take our drinks order and food order. It was a Sunday so we all had the Sunday roast; two beef and two mixed meats. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The mixed roast still comes with a Yorkshire pudding (phew). Unusually, we all had desserts as well; two lemon meringue pies, a banoffee pie and an ice cream. Again- all very nice indeed. For what we had, we thought the bill was very reasonable. Will certainly be visiting again.

This place comes highly recommended and the food was not bad (but not spectacular) and every trick in the book is used to part you with your money. Bread for the table? That's a couple of quid for a bit of chopped up baguette they kept trying to take back, Olives add a bit more for a bowl of cheap Olives out of a jar. Drinks add a fiver for a teeny bottle of beer. Very limited range of soft drinks. Any sides? Well watch that as we were sold some potatoes as a meal did not come with any - even though it did (and we even questioned that.) All adds up.Menu seemed a bit dated but food was well cooked and decent portions. Staff were cheery and attentive but clearly had their regulars who they spent more time with.So okay but not spectacular. Would I go back? Maybe but there are other places just as good locally.
