The Cardinals Error in Tonbridge and Malling

A lovely quaint pub the service from both Mel and Stu was exceptional!

Lovely pub - lovely people - amazing transformation for Halloween 🎃

Very cosy and welcoming pub, Mel the landlady allows local groups to meet there for socials and music. A community pub to enjoy. Oh, and check out their Halloween efforts!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cardinals Error in Tonbridge, and it was an incredible experience! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The menu is a delightful mix of creative dishes, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend trying the [insert specific dish], which was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff were genuinely friendly, adding to the overall charm of the place. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Cardinals Error is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Great pub and well worth a visit. Prices very reasonable, staff friendly and it has a proper pub charm to it.

Nice little pub and friendly staff

Full of character, friendly and plenty of outside space.

Really lovely country pub to go to on a sunny afternoon. We would have stayed longer, however bar staff were both on their breaks so couldn't get any service.

14th century pub I believe, very nice staff and great service and atmosphere didn't Try the food but will do next time.

I have become a Wednesday regular! Always a friendly welcome with a proper pub feel. We particularly enjoy the Heineken in chilled glasses. Child friendly and dog friendly. I have not tried the food hence no rating for that. I am looking forward to Christmas because the lovely lady landlord always makes an effort with decorations, Halloween was a particular highlight! So nice to go somewhere that has the old school charm of a proper English pub.

AMAZING Halloween decorations, honestly the best iv ever seen. Great pub, really friendly staff. Haven't tried the pizzas, but they look really good!

Excellent pub with friendly staff, and a very welcoming atmosphere! Being one of the few pubs in Tonbridge I had yet to visit I leaped at the chance to have a family evening here. Lots of space for everyone to sit around and catch up, and there was a play area outside for children to run around in. Good selection of drinks at very reasonable prices, and there is food served too. Darts and pool are available, as well as fruit machines and a jukebox to put on your own music! Supposedly haunted too which would make The Cardinals Error a must visit pub for any would-be ghost hunters.

Enjoyed a couple of pints and some food with my family. Will definitely come again.

The perfect party venue - Thank you Mel and the team !! Everyone enjoyed themselves !!

Friendly staff. Had a quick pint whilst picking up a Greek food order to takeaway. Would be happy to go back again for both a drink and the food.

Nice pub freindly service well worth a visit especially now they have good food from the Greek van awesome food great prices

Lovely big garden and friendly staff.

Lovely atmosphere, good bar staff, was willing to make us coffee, plenty of parking.

Clean and tidy garden, nice little play area, reasonable prices, nice clean glasses and beer, friendly staff and customers x

Great pub and Atmosphere enjoyed a great evening with our family.

Poker night on a Tuesday. Nice friendly pub

Lovely pub outside area friendly staff I've delivered there a few times

Lovely outside space, staff very attentive, keeping an eye on your pint level

Minus 1 star ! Had a meal. Poor quality . Overpriced. Prebooked and so disorganised. No pudding as forgot to shop then couldn’t be bothered. Kids were eventually told to sit down and stop playing in the garden !! Never go there again . 19 people disappointed…..

Great little pub lovely atmosphere

Lovely little place with small play area, staff super friendly

Great pub, lovely garden, friendly staff

Warm and friendly pub which is very inviting and do yummy basket meals which are super yum and cheap for a light bite to eat !

Great pub, loving that it's my local 😂

Lovely old pub to look at both inside and out with a big beer garden, ideal for the one day each year when the sun shines and you don’t need to go to work (or mow the lawn, mend a fence or any other tedious order from the wife).We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was a bit quiet which is sad for what could be very lively pub, presumably the locals are too busy shoplifting in Sevenoaks, or honouring a VO at Sheppey. Usual selection of drinks, and food is apparently served on a Sunday lunchtime. Read some of the typical fictional history up on the walls about ghosts etc. Truth is, it used to be a farm until the turn of the last century, but there’s no harm in pleasing the gullible.

Good pub with Harvey's bitter to kill a spare hour.

Welcomed by a roaring fire so made the pub feel cosy. Good service. Good beer

New landlord. Not as good as the old one. Good dart team though, nice guys too.

Too expensive and not very good for people over 6 ft

Held my mums 50th birthday here, a lovely little pub with a lot of character

Good pub with the garden getting lots of sun throughout the day.

old fashioned pub . nice garden quite large. very friendly staff. .

Big pub. Not bad beer just a shame about the unwelcoming staff

Best sunday lunch in the south. Frendly staff and reasonable prices

Great Sunday roast. Followed by football on Sky. Perfect day. Beer was clean and fresh also the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Great little old fashioned pub. Cannot wait to try their Sunday roast... If we can get a table!!

Lost its ancient charm with too many screens and modern paraphernalia

I was heading to the bathroom in the pub and I see someone walking into the men's bathroom before me I didn't take any notice, but then I walked into the bathroom 3 seconds after and no one was in there! Definitely haunted but an amazing pub

This is a looovely english country pub. Plenty of choice as far as beer and larger... a loovely big garden to enjoy the summer. Staff were excellent
