Hadlow Bar & Grill in Tonbridge and Malling

Looked online for a Sunday Carvery and managed to get booked and it didn't let us down. The potato and leek soup was delicious our son had the loaded fries. We went for the carvery and it was hot and tasty We all had different meats Turkey, Beef or Gammon and all agreed very flavoursome and tender. Vegetable choice was good. Son and husband enjoyed the pudding choice too! The staff were all so very friendly and cheerful and made us welcome especially the manager. Nice to find a venue with a nice atmosphere and decent 80s music :) we look forward to returning again one day!

We visited on a whim on Easter Monday, two adults and two children. The menu was quite limited but there was a choice for everyone. A carvery was on offer but we didn’t want a roast so ordered two children’s meals and two fish and chips. The food was very good, the chips were crispy and fluffy and the fish was delicious. We didn’t have room for dessert. Starters, malls and drinks came in We have never visited before (we live out of the area) but would happily visit again. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the menu was not particularly varied - but personally I would rather a few choices cooked well than a lot cooked badly.

Bad first impression. As soon as we walked through the door saw the bar man sitting on a bar stall behind the bar on his phone. What could have been the manager not really doing much other than watching rugby. Food I must say was amazing and saw the chef she was only smart dressed one nice to see a happy smiley face. I heard a bell ring which I guess was to say good was ready no one moved chef had to come to bar to tell them and then he got off bar stall and off his phone. Pub looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a couple of days. I won’t be back unless the service improves shame service let the food down massively. The food was the only highlight for us. I think it unprofessional sitting on a bar stall behind bar playing on your phone.

5 members of out family went for the Wednesday carvery . The gammon had to be taken off the carvery as it was not cooked. Only 2 slices of turkey which is a bit mean for the price. Plates were lovely and hot. Vegetables were lovely but no peas and carrots so one of us had no veg as that's all they eat.One of us had the salmon and no new potatoes were avaliable and at £19.50 that was not good. Staff lovely

Thank you to Paul and his crew for all the hard work and excellent service skills they provided for our large family wake. Nothing was too much trouble. The marquee and buffet area were set up to enable us to seamlessly eat and drink and be with our family and friends. A special mention to Chef Sarah for providing a non-stop flow of hot and cold food ensuring no one went hungry!

I'm giving this review purely so no one orders the cheeseboard. It was without doubt the worst one I've ever had. It came with green grapes which were so sour they were nearly inedible but my main gripe was the 9 prices of identical rectangular plastic cheese meant to represent cheddar, Stilton and unbelievably Brie , which came out on small individual plastic wrappers and was glossy, rubbery and tasteless. A real shame as a lovely pub and good food but come on- this was a poor throwback to the 80's, for £9 either do it right or scrap it from the menu !!!!!

Came for Thursday Steak Night and was amazing and Steak Chips and Salad for £10 couldn’t ask for better Food was great and Staff were brilliant 👍👍👍

We have been here a few times for Sunday carvery. But the past couple of visit we have been very dissiponted. Although we were there when it opened at 12.am. the veg was cold under cooked. The cabbage was so bitter to taste is was in edible. The gravy was like water. It used to be the best carvery around. What happened. The price has gone up. The quality of food has gone down. We will definitely not be going back. The people on the table next to us ,waited 45 mins for there grandaughters meal. She only ordered chicken nuggets. Must say the staff where lovely very polite and helpful. But food was a definitely a NO NO.

Amazing carvery with one fault not the best cauliflower cheese was watery bland didn’t taste of cheese and needed seasoning When we visited in January we found it the same. Definitely need to review your cheese sauce recipe otherwise our whole experience was faultless attentive staff fast service We will be back to hopefully find a nicer cauliflower cheese

Met with friends mid week - very friendly welcoming bar staff and fantastic food. Lovely varied menu. Would def recommend.

ordered a burger for lunch today around 2 i come to this pub fairly regularly and usually everything is all up to date however my experience today was very different from usual i’m not sure if there was a new way to prepare the food but it was drier than usual and the flavour was off as if it had been burnt not sure i will be returning again

I don’t normally do the review thing but we went tonight to Rose revive for the steak special for my birthday. The steak itself was great quality and cooked perfectly to my tastes. We will definitely be back again

went with family for a meal , food just warm not hot, burger should have come with onion rings and coleslaw, when manager was asked this came out and was a joke 1 onion ring in a pot and poor tasting coleslaw, only a few chips ,very disappointed and i feel over priced for gammon egg and chips , pub needed a good dust and cobwebs hanging from archway, very disappointed that i was doing dry January and only 1 type on non alcoholic larger(becks blue) which is disgusting, sorry to say wouldn't return again or recommend which is a shame as could be a lovely old village pub

I really enjoyed my visit to the Rose Revived. The staff and Manager Paul are going the extra mile for their customers. Also I just had a snack with my son on That Saturday evening it was very nice and beautiful presented. Not to forget they managed a big 18th Birthday celebration that night and still , we were looked after very well. Great Team and Manager Kind Regards Veronika

Food was not terrible but could definitely be better. Seems to almost taste like microwave food. The main concern I and my family had , is yes this is a country pub. However having dogs wherever in the restaurant was a massive no no. There was no staff asking anyone sitting on tables next to the groups with a dog / dogs if there is any pet allergies. One dog was pretty large and a very slobbering sight the whole time. Put us right off our food. They should definitely section off sides to dog friendly and non dog. This is the reason I won’t be attending again as I felt it all was just very hygienic as some staff pet dogs who also serve your food. Wouldn’t personally recommend.

I really wanted to like this place. It’s local and the staff are very friendly. However, the carvery was average. Food bland and a bit dry. For the price it was disappointing. Probably won’t visit again as much better carvery’s around for the same price or cheaper.

Extremely relaxed environment, landlord very welcoming, lovely and well presented bar food... an enjoyable experience and 1 that will be repeated.

First time ever at the Rose Revived a week a ago. Received a lovely warm welcome from the hard working staff on duty, Paul and Nick, as did every customer through the door. Fire was lit, perfect for a cold January afternoon, so cosy! Stayed for lunch and can honestly say it was all lovely (Deep Fried Brie, Vegetable Lasagne and Sticky Toffee Pudding), washed down with a glass of Shiraz (which was also excellent). Finished off with a cup of decent coffee in the form of a latte whilst chatting to a group of the regulars beside the fire. All in all lovely experience. Noted the selection of beers and ales on tap, was really impressed! Only issue I found was that some of the vegan choices on the menu were not available that day, so would suggest to management that might be something to address and watch out for in future.

Soulless and uninteresting, poor service, food not great either. Won’t go again even though it is fairly local.

We arrived to a lovely warm welcome. The fire lit, warm and really inviting. As it is a Thursday we went for the steak night offer at £10. Honestly it was so nice. Steak cooked perfectly. Big portions and I totally recommend. Under new management. Such a lovely country pub. Lovely staff and great food. Our new local.

A big thank you to Paul and his friendly, attentive staff for a warm welcome and an excellent Midweek Carvery. 17-1-2024. We will be back. Tony and Bob.

We took my mother in law for lunch. Me and my husband are doing dry January and there was a large selection of non alcoholic substitute drinks. Lunch was superb, presented beautiful and incredibly tasty. As I mentioned it was my mother in laws 87th birthday she was presented with a complementary warm chocolate fidge brownie and ice cream. The promotion of 30% off made this even more spectacular as the prices are reasonable anyway. We are keen lovers of the RR and had our wedding reception there in 2917 so I can highly recommend the venue for celebrating too!

Excellent family meal out on a cold January evening. Open fire in the welcoming bar area, excellent beer and great food. Menu is classic pub grub, done well and with friendly professional service. We’ll be back!

Warm welcome as we came in great food and great service I had fish and chips very nice indeed. Under new management this week and you can tell

Great food and wonderful service. The team were absolutely lovely and the food was great! We had the carvery (plus starters and desserts) and we are so excited that the carvery will be here every day after Feb!

We waited a long time for a ciabatta although we were warned. When we asked for menus we were asked not to order for fifteen or so minutes. We did but still waited about 50 minutes. The tables outside were dirty and the garden looked...

Great steak, chips and salad on Thursday night. Couldn't fault it for just £10, compared to paying about £25 anywhere else. Definitely worth a visit.

Family treat we had the carvery 15 of us The food was excellent service was good couldn't have been more accommodating for a large group

We recently stopped by to have lunch and ordered the new ploughman’s. We went for the cheese version although there was another option with meat (Ham) and cheese. The board was brilliant with a beautifully dressed salad, three condiments and generous bread and loads of...

Where do I start… second time here, the first time wasn’t good either but thought we’d give it another try. Should have gone elsewhere, took ages to order drinks and food, had the carvery, the beef was dry and didn’t look appealing, vegetables were alright....

We went for a Sunday carvery as a birthday celebration. The food was average although the carrots and parsnips were very hard. Unfortunately, we felt the service was poor as unlike previous visits we were not allowed to serve ourselves, following our desserts being served...

We had the carvery. It was ok, but not great. The cauliflower cheese had no taste of cheese, and was not a well cooked cauliflower. Then we both had a dessert. With drinks the bill came to over £60! If the meal had been really...

It is so cosy at The Rose Revived. Nice Staff and the Food is gorgeous. The Cavery is so good and plenty. The offer on Saturday for the Pizza‘s is brilliant and so tasteful.

On the spur of the moment while travelling back to Tonbridge from Maidstone late in the day we popped in for dinner. On Thursdays the special offer is steak, chips and salad for two for £20 - a considerable saving over the a la carte...

Just got home from here after having an excellent Sunday carvery and dessert. The manager and staff were very attentive, friendly and accommodating. It was a lovely lovely experience. Thank you

We visited for an evening meal. the menu was quite basic, just typical pub grub options. When the food came out, it had been over cooked in the fryer. Lovely garden and setting for a drink but I wouldn't go for the food.

They don't care about you or your food, so you don't need to care about calling in here. We were absolutely delighted to spot this place on our travels on a Sunday evening, but even happier to be told we could get a table. In...

From the start of the meal great reception from staff, friendly and helpful. Great service , food was delicious had all 3 courses. Continues great service from start to finish. Followed by badminton and a game of French boule. Highly recommended.

Service was excellent you could not fault the table service Food was appalling Cold starters. Had to wait over an hour for the mains and then it was over microwaved and not edible the service ladies were fabulous and could not fault them

Best pint of Harvey's I've ever had I was amazed. Food was also very good and friendly servers. Only real negative is no drinks menu available.

Four of us dropped in for lunch following a walk in the area. The welcome was warm and we easily found a table. There was a good range of beer and a nice atmosphere. Between our group we had three different meals from the menu...

What more can you say about a great calvery and great deserts, friendly staff attentive and friendly

Firstly service was really good. But the roast was the worst meal I think I have ever eaten in a pub/restaurant. Whoever owns this establishment need to address this fast. Absolutely shocking and over £40 a head and not one drop of alcohol or desert.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful also the food was excellent lovely setting and garden , we have booked a celebration there in may . G.Hawkins

We hadn’t been back here since before covid and I wish we hadn’t bothered. The starter was nice but our mains were forgotten about. My partners salmon tasted as though the salmon had been cooked from frozen (or defrosted) - at least use fresh salmon...

Really enjoyed the Sunday carvery - it was excellent value with a choice of three meats and lots of tasty veg. Lovely stuffing and lovely gravy too. The waiting staff were excellent and were doing a great job in what was quite a busy afternoon....

We took our mother for her 90th birthday ("all I want is a pub lunch - no fuss" so we cancelled the Mariachi band) with a few of her friends to their Sunday Carvery. The service was great and they couldn't do enough for us....

I have been trying to come here since I moved to Tonbridge 4 years ago. Yip it’s taken that long… glad I finally did. The service was good, although the lovely waitress was working her last day. The carvery was plentiful, and tasty (except the...

A beautiful garden to relax and enjoy a drink with friends , going to be honest , the lovely manager who managed a challenging family with an ambundance of children running riot in the garden disturbing others quiet enjoyment , well done we appreciated it...

Thank you staff at the Rose revived you made a real effort to make this family birthday outing memorable. Food was very good staff friendly and attentive. A very good experience.

Today, best Fish and Chips I can remember having. My daughter and Son-in-law had plates packed with Roast and veg, and my granddaughter's had Tacho something. Most definitely recommended.
