Lovely village pub with outdoor seating and dining. Traditional bar. Good food. Great decaf coffee at the George and Dragon, Speldhurst. Friday mornings, you get free pastries with your coffee or tea!

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere, however service was a shambles. Different people serving our table and none of them communicating. Every initial request we made was forgotten about, from sauces to a high chair, and we had to ask different staff more than once. The food was worth the wait, but clearly understaffed on a very busy Sunday - a real shame as it would definitely put me off returning.

Sunday lunch for 4 booked for 1.30. We arrived and ordered by 1.40 but had to wait an hour for the food to be served! We weren’t the only ones… Only 3 came at the same time. Undercooked roast potatoes. 1 carrot and 1 slice of greens each! Unacceptable for a £24 lunch. We duly complained, asked for extra veg and we did get 2 large servings of carrots and greens to share plus extra gravy. Just such a shame these weren’t provided as part of the meal: veg is not that expensive and should be plentiful. The food itself was tasty. Staff so young and uninterested in the service standards and clueless about the menu. The male duty manager was very apologetic and nice. We refused to pay service and finally got 20% knocked off the bill but such a shame as we wouldn’t visit again.

I visited this pub last week and loved the vibe of the place, service was very good!!! I had a burger that was very tasty! They quality of the meat seemed very good, but it kind of lack a bit of salt. Nevertheless, very good!!! My friend had a fish dish that was very very tasty!!! I will come back for sure!!!

We only stopped for a drink. This pub was closed for some time, but reopened and has been sensitively redecorated, retaining the original features and feel of the old building. Service was very pleasant and while we chose to sit n the garden area the atmosphere was pleasantly lively.

We visited on a Thursday lunchtime to eat. A very friendly welcome and we were given a choice of tables to sit at. We ordered our drinks, were given menus and told they would bring our drinks to the table. The food menu was excellent and it was difficult to make a choice. We decided to share a starter and they kindly brought two plates. There were three female staff, all dressed neatly in black, who all provided an efficient and friendly service. All of our food was excellent and came promptly. The pub is very interesting with lots of nooks and crannies and a superb great hall above the bar. An extensive patio area to the rear.

Stopped into this pleasant pub in the pretty village of Speldhurst while walking the Tunbridge Wells Circular Route from Southborough to Tunbridge Wells. I had a much needed pint of Harvey's Sussex Best after the walk up Speldhurst Hill. I didn't try the food but the menu sounded good. I enjoyed my pint outside in the large courtyard area. Service was friendly. It's well worth popping upstairs in the pub to admire the ceiling, mind your head on the beams though!

After a busy early afternoon, we stopped and had the fish and chips, which were brilliantly cooked, the fish was delicious, chips cooked just right, the sauces and minty pea were just spot on. All in all, it's a fantastic meal to sit and enjoy in your amazing front seating overlooking the church, lovely to unwind on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

A beautiful quaint pub/restaurant with an incredible menu and drink selection. The pub gardens and location of the George and dragon really is what gives this pub the extra edge. Speldhurst is a beautiful and idealistic village in the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells, holding much historical value.

We were just passing by Tunbridge wells and decided to try this pub for dinner. It is a beautiful pub from the Elizabethan style exterior, elegant and cosy British pub interior. The service was efficient and friendly. However, it was the food that could have been improved, the waiter was a bit too efficient and checked back on us too early as I haven't had a chance to try everything I ordered to say if everything was okay. We ordered chunky skin on chips for £4 a portion which was generous in size but was a tad bit too dry which was off putting to eat. The moules starter had promise as it was elegantly presented, generous portion of good quality bread, priced at £9, mussels were fresh but the sauce lacked the flavour you would expect from moules dish so was again felt slightly let down. On the other hand, my friend had sausage and mash which was delicious as they used good quality sausages, the gravy had good flavour to it and a generous portion. So just have to be selective in what you order next time. Overall, it was a lovely pub to visit and seems like a popular one. So unfortunate to mention the food in a critical way but felt like it was important to say.

Absolutely unbelievable! Stopped in for lunch after not getting to visit for 20 years, had the most welcoming service in a super cozy atmosphere and sat right by the fireplace. Our meals are going to be hard to beat anywhere else, from the children's mac and cheese, to the lamb pie, to the sticky toffee pudding, everything was delicious. Without a doubt anytime we get to come back to Speldhurst for a visit we will plan a lunch or dinner here. My son said his sticky toffee pudding was a rating of a million out of ten. Well done! Can't say enough about our experience 🥰 thank you!!

Rubbish roast dinner, on Sunday late pm, the potatoes were reheated and tasted awful and the balsamic vinegar in red cabbage was way too much that took over the dinner! No parsnip too! I had sticking toffee for pudding was not great and the cheap ice cream topping was watering The waitresses were poor slow service but it was pretty quiet in the restaurant!

One of the best pub roasts I’ve had in a long time. Our servers were excellent and friendly, and the food is perfect. Some places can be really hit and miss with their roasts but this was spot on. Loads of gravy, lots of meat and vegetables, really well cooked and a huge Yorkshire to top it off. I’d thoroughly recommend the George and Dragon to everyone - you won’t regret it

Went for a drink Tuesday evening. My companion had a burger which was nice although found the £18 a little more expensive than necessary - I’d had a burger the previous evening in Southborough for £18:50, so seems to be the average price around here. I guess times are changing and it will be like going back to the 70’s & 80’s for me - when people only ate out for special occasions. It was enjoyable sitting outside, there are heaters, lights & outdoor speakers. Ideal for plane spotters like me if the planes are inbound to Gatwick flying overhead. Nice staff & atmosphere. Haven’t been for years and I’ll try not to leave it so long next time as it’s very pleasant.

We booked the George and Dragon for a Christmas lunch after having come here once for the most delicious Sunday roast. Our 2 year old son woke up on Christmas morning vomiting which led us to having to cancel our trip from London to the George and Dragon. Richard, the manager, could not have been more incredible. He offered us a refund or voucher to return which we did so this weekend and I cannot fault the food and incredible staff here. It really is top quality. Everything from the produce, the exceptional cuisine and attention to detail on everything from decor to customer experience. Despite coming with two toddlers, the staff did not bat an eyelid at the spills and mess caused and did everything in their power to give us an incredible day. If you are wondering whether to go to the pub or not JUST GO. You won't regret it! It's one of the special places you will return to again and again.

I got a delivery, although not through their website as they don’t have to order through which is a downside. However, this did not worry me at the time of eating my meal as it was a wonderful takeaway! I ordered the chicken and rice box with hot spice and the chicken was so moist and flavourful. The rice was packed with seasonings and the chicken added extra succulent flavours. Small portion sizes at Pepe’s are not a thing! They do not hold back! I recommend for takeaway as it is such a value for money. I am still yet to sit in but i have heard feedback from friends as they have similar comments to me, this just proves delivery doesn’t change a lovely meal!

I was really looking forward to sausage and chips, and mushy peas so as I was passing I thought let's try Well I wish I hadn't the sausage was not of any quality and over cooked but yhatvwas not the worst of it the chips were absolutely disgusting not even my 2yr old grandson who eats anything would have more than a bit of 1 and even put yhe other half back on the pile of chips they were like Iceland own brand chips that had been cooked and re-cooked then left in the hot area to go all mushy and soggy it was so bad I actually went without eating that night apart from the mushy peas but you cant go wrong with them open the tin and heat up and will not be recommending or revisiting this chip shop again I will stick my regulars in highbroom and st John's the people who have rated this above 2 star need to get out of the village and try other chip shops as if all experiences are like mine it was not edible (maybe I went in on the wrong day it was a Friday about 7ish
