Swan on the Green in Tonbridge and Malling

great food,great beer a very friendly country pub..

Autumn returns, winter dog walking is back, the log fires at The Swan are burning brightly and the welcome is as warm as ever. Three generations of family gathered for lunch last Saturday and we were not disappointed. Beautifully kept ale and delicious food awaited. I had the homemade Prawn Curry which was simple, not too fiery and full of prawns. Others had the Beef Burger and excellent chips while some had the soup and wonderful Cheese Toastie – hot wholemeal bread oozing with melted cheddar. We do hope that this wonderful old pub survives its present ownership crisis.

What a lovely pub/restaurant. Plentiful parking. Cosy log fire keeping us comfortable. Very friendly service and not pushy at all. Liked the question about allergies after taking the orders. Reasonable period given to complete each course before serving next course. Food portions are generous and the presentation and quality are mouth watering. After starter and main course we couldn’t manage a dessert but had perfect coffees. Superb choice of beer and wine. We are not a vegetarian but there is something for everyone on the menu. Well worth a trip to West Peckham in beautiful Kent.

Great service Andy food but too cold to eat comfortably

With no kitchen due to building work we decided to return to a favourite of ours and enjoy a Sunday roast at The Swan on the Green. As ever we were not disappointed, all 3 of us enjoyed the roast beef, cooked beautifully and customer service to match. A chocolate tart and apricot and ginger crumble to follow didn’t disappoint either. Another great visit to a excellent country pub

Very friendly staff. Great food. Beer no longer brewed on the premises but there's plenty of choice from local breweries

We had an another fantastic meal for my sister's birthday in August. The staff and atmosphere are always great and the food never disappoints, the staff are always so helpful with our food intolerences and we can eat here with confidence that the food will always be fresh, tasty and no traces of ingredients that would make us ill - it is really appreciated the effort you go to each time we visit. Thank you once again, we love eating at your friendly pub and will visit again soon.!

Upon arrival, the outside of this historic pub is very unsuspecting. However, the bar is very well stocked, the staff are friendly and helpful. The landlady is welcoming and has a fab sense of humour. We ordered 3 courses and each one was excellently cooked and we'll presented by a great chef. Absolutely worth a try. We will certainly be returning! Top notch.

Nice food in a beautiful setting

What a wonderful find!! I was trying to find a country pub that did a nice selection of food for lunch, and also had a nice setting to sit outside - and this place is absolute idilic! The staff, the food, the location are absolutely spot on and we’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch

Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff and a great setting. Will definitely go back. Great Sunday lunch, and other options equally as good.

Lovely village pub. Amazing food! Friendly service!

Nice traditional pub good beer. Lovely setting.

Went on a weekday lunch time. The server was more interested in talking than serving

Beautiful place well worth a visit. Good food nice people 👌

Can't really comment about what the pub is like as we visited on our way home from holiday and the pub hadn't opened yet. We only visited because it's Ma and Pa Larkins local. Sadly the series was cancelled. Hopefully one day I'll be passing during opening hours

Great village pub. It was my first time going here and I will definitely go again. Enjoyed sitting outside watching the cricket being played on the green

This is a lovely pub with a great restaurant and very friendly staff. It's a regular for my parents because of the consisently high quality of food and warm and welcoming service. It's a popular spot for locals and people out on a walk (it's dog-friendly :)). I'd really recommend their version of Eton Mess for a delicious and very generous portion (albeit with a slightly funny name (Swan Mess!) :)).

1st time visit, outstanding food and service, booking highly recommended.

Just had half a pint and a bag of nuts after a walk with the dog.

Nice pub overlooking the green, would recommend. Did not have food, so cannot comment on that. Friendly staff

We enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch to celebrate my sister’s birthday. The quality of the food and the service was excellent. I can highly recommend the liver and bacon and the falafel starter!

Lovely food - fresh and original. Not as shown on the website. I had Chicken shish on flatbread with humus, chips and salad, followed by a delicious blueberry cheesecake. It was beautifully cooked and presented. My husband enjoyed fish and chips for his 85th birthday lunch. Highly recommended.

Great Calves Liver and Onions with greens and a bonus serving of Bacon on top. Wholesome winter warmer food.

Lovely atmosphere and staff, food was great.

Perfect country pub. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent service.

My partner and I have been a few times recently for a snack and a drink, the service is always so lovely, especially so, from a young bearded gentleman. Food has been good too!

Another highly successful family dog walk (2 x Labrador, Show Cocker Spaniel and a Vizla) with 9 adults for lunch by the log fire. Once again we submitted our order in advance and once again we were rewarded with delicious hot food served simultaneously - quite a skilled feet for a msall and unpretentious kitchen. Pick of the servings was the new Chicken Shish with flatbread, tasty yoghurt etc (£17.95) and the grilled Calves Liver and bacon with mash (£18.95). Draught beer exceptional as usual and the total with 10% service was £199.65. We do hope that the pub is bought by the local community instead of being converted by a developer for housing. It is an historic building fronting the perfect English village green and is especially popular in the summer months. Fingers crossed that we keep our wonderful "local"

Venue needs a bit of an upgrade and menu could be better but offers good value and service is good!

The service was good, menu choices was limited and food quality was fine. The setting is a little tired. I have visited on a yearly basis and have to say that the all round experience is on the slide. However, the prices are reasonable and overall is is fine!

Lovely interior with burning log fires. Excellent lunch which was enjoyed by all seven of us- we will be back!

Lovely village pub. Food was good, beer was too. One to return to in the summer.

6 of us have been regular visitors on a Friday night for drinks for a while now and decided earlier this week to book for dinner The food was simply outstanding Kitchen made onion bhajis and the most amazing scotch egg were the starters of choice followed by the burger, sausage and mash (amazing sauce) and mussels One dessert was enough and we chose the brambly cinnamon apple crumble one portion provided enough for two !! The Swan OTG is a great pub that holds dear its values as a best in class village pub these values or more than reflected in the great food Book today

Excellent Sunday lunch roast beef superb as was the duck. Good staff, very efficient and lovely atmosphere recommend

Another very successful lunch with dog at this lovely rural pub. Our table was next to the log fire which provided real warmth both visually and thermally. There are rumours that the owner may be selling to a local consortium of villagers but the deal has not yet happened. The food was delicious with homemade mushroom soup and charcuterie platter being praised but the men in the party, including me, opted for the Burger with crispy BBQ Chicken and hot Korean sauce with Asian slaw and chips (£17.95). This was fantastic as the chips really crisp, the slaw a nice cool antidote to the burger sauce, The chicken was moist breast ; very tender and full of flavour. The Korean sauce was hot but so tasty. I am not usually a "burger man" but this was exceptional. Our only concern was the long time taken to deliver range of dishes, albeit quite varied, for 8 people. We probably waited an hour from arrival. All the food was obviously prepared a cooked from scratch which was marvellous but we did wonder what would have happened if the pub had been much busier? Overall another great visit and we will most certainly return.

We had a great meal here. The confit duck leg with cassoulet beans was excellent. Fish pie was delicious. Portions were of a good size.

I’d come again. Friendly staff, good food and relaxed atmosphere. Dogs are welcome. We had Sunday roasts, generous portions and a Yorkshire that could have sunk the Titanic.

Lovely pub in idyllic setting. Food was delicious we had roast beef and the chicken penang curry and cheesecake Very polite and helpful service We have been here a few times a year and will continue to return

We have been going to this pub for several years ana always found the food and service excellent. Today we found the food extremely bad: the food was cold and served on cold plates, the manager offered to heat the meals under the grill but that would have made the duck even tougher. The tiramisu was solid cream with no coffee or alcohol and had an artificial taste.

We went to the pub today for lunch, but were told in the rudest way that we could not be served food, without any explanation and or apology. It was busy, and tables were cleary waiting, so it might have been for the best. But we won't be going back.

Really lovely family dinner. We were so well looked after by the staff in every respect. The food was delicious - mussels starter, steaks cooked perfectly and a delicious hake dish. Decent priced wines too. Definitely a favourite. Thank you Swan!

Very delicious food. Smoked haddock on mash, roast beef, moules et fries. Service was friendly and quick. Quaint pub on a village green. Can't get any better. Thanks to the chef

Great food Great walks Interesting staff The location in a very nice part of Kent gives it local charm. Good selection of beers and spirits

Very good Sunday Lunch. Varied menu along with two choices of traditional roast, either pork or beef. Our staters of devilled kidneys and curried parsnip soup were very good. Having established that the beef could be served rare, I elected for that. It was delicious!...

This pub is a real gem. Fantastic food. Fish specials menu also available . A good selection of ales. Staff are lovely. Pretty village.

Lovely country pub opposite a cricket green,seating outside. Great food,friendly atmosphere well recommended.

Lovely setting for a country pub, that brews it own ales. Didn't try the food, but it looked good and plenty of people eating

Lovely lunch at a lovely pub! Food and service was super and the two open fires were great on a wet cold day. Would highly recommend a visit. And look forward to returning.

Excellent experience as always. We had lovely food platters. On a terrible cold, wet and windy day, the open fire was a warm welcome and we (including the dogs) didn't want to leave! Friendly and helpful staff. Thank you!

Fantastic food, friendly staff, draught beers made on site in their own micro brewery, lovely setting. What more could you want from a pub?

Great food, location, service with a smile, best to book 👌

Enjoyed the food- large portions- relaxed and friendly atmosphere - attentive staff -nice situation in a small picturesque village - worth a visit

What an absolute gem of a find. The staff were warm & welcoming, food was good sized portions, hot and well presented. The menu offers something for everyone.. then there’s the homemade desserts amazing 😊 We will definitely be returning.,

Nice beer. Friendly bar staff need to watch order of service. 3 ppl served in front of me who came in after me. My invisibility cloak was working well that night!

Lovely setting; food quite expensive; large portion for my omelette and chips; Lovely open fire.

Small country pub with its own micro brewery. Good food and friendly.

Well over priced and food terrible

Very friendly and exceptional pub grub!

Lovely pub surrounded by greens and historic buildings. Didn't eat but the food looked and smelled amazing

Had a lovely lunch Saturday afternoon staff very friendly definitely recommend

Fabulous food in a beautiful pub overlooking West Peckham Green in a tranquil spot. Excellent service and selection of beer, what more could you ask for when your best buddy is paying😂

Great pub excellant food friendly staff

Very nice micro brewery beer. Great to have something different. Very attractive rustic decor too.

Evening meal was very well presented and cooked verymuchenjoyed. Average prices. Staff were pleasant and engaging. Premises clean but lacked in character, injection of personality, comfort and uplifting needed. Hopefully this will come over time

Pleasant setting with good ale and menu

Wonderful historic pub with great food and excellent staff.

Out for a walk so only stopped for a drink this time but the food looked good so will definitely be back to eat.

First time in 2 years the whole family got together. Large booking handled well (we had to pre order understandably). Food was amazing. Service friendly. Highly recommended.

I very rarely leave reviews but just had a really great experience here. I am particularly critical and generally bored of paying for average food with little care or pride put into it. However this was an all round 5* for the whole package of...

Microbrewery, imaginative well-presented food and a warm welcome by a traditional village green. What's not to like?

Just had a fabulous meal at the Swan. Really impressed with the food. Told the waitress I was on a diet and the chef tweaked my dish. So thoughtful. Thank you

Lovely homemade food in a relaxing atmosphere.

Good food. Good beer. Friendly and efficient service.

Dog friendly lovely village pub .

I had lunch with a party of 9 after a walk. We had a variety of reasonably priced food which everyone enjoyed. Nothing was too much trouble from our initial booking with Luke to the friendly and helpful lady serving us.

Came for a Saturday lunchtime meal. Food excellent, service excellent, pub interior quaint and comfortable. Only qripe no soya milk or vegan desert

Lovely little pub, currently being used for filming The Larkins. Great beer. Went with boyfriend and another couple. Tables out on the green when the British weather allows it.

Excellent service and surroundings

Absolutely fantastic country pub. Just popped in for a couple of pints and we received a warm welcome. Cannot wait to return and sit on the green opposite sipping ice cold pints in the warm summer sun…..absolute heaven.

Lovely place and staff very friendly

A beautiful June day, sat on the green with a bitter shandy

Ate inside for first time and had a really enjoyable meal. Lovely chilli garlic prawns, nicely cooked hake and huge gypsy tart. The Eton mess was very large too! Service very friendly. It’s also a lovely spot to eat outside and recommend their own beers. Really relaxing atmosphere. Perfect.

Lovely place for a summer drink, plenty of parking, tables out on the green, helpful staff and quick service.

Draught beer great value, prosecco at £26 was a bit steep, food was middle, falafel the girlfriend thought was brought in, fish and chips was nice, prefer longer cook, rump of lamb was warm and served on a salad, the dressing was neither mint nor tasty. Chocolate pudding dessert amazing, nice gypsy tart, the Catalan cream was thought to have been bought it. Overall with tip £210, too much, wasn't as good as expected or could have been

Good Covid setup with tables on the green.

excellent food and very friendly service

Last night had a meal here- salads not washed, falafel and yoghurt nice. Main seabass beautifully cooked with crispy skin, sauce very lemony and very nice, however asparagus not washed. Not nice to eat and feel the grit between the teeth, awful experience! For dessert I had choc brownie with choc sauce and ice cream- for that I would come back! Staff was very nice and helpful. Chefs, please wash your vegetables before serving, cooking!
