The Farm House in Tonbridge and Malling

Shame about the dissapointing lamb ; All the other food was v good ; Service (Laura in particular) first class; Parking never easy there but its worthwhile to visit ; prices seem to have risen but they have everywhere so not much to be done there: Apart from the lamb dishes everything elese was decent value ; would go again.

Great location and great atmosphere! We had the roast dinner recommended by Helen, it was superb! It was a big plate of food and very tasty, the cauliflower cheese was delicious 😋 Helen and Laura were very attentive and friendly I will certainly come back again!

Was great. Food was expensive for what it was but fantastic service from Laura and the ambience was lovely. Kentish wine was great too.

Lovely meal, Laura provided excellent service along with the rest of the staff. Food was excellent and the cocktails were amazing Lovely atmosphere

Had a lovely Christmas family meal at The Farm House. Food was divine and Laura was very attentive and friendly, nothing was ever too much trouble.

Went to our team meal and this was my first time at The Farm House . A very pleasant venue which has a public car park nearby. I chose the Terrine to start , Venison sausages and mash then Crumble to finish . Excellent 👍🏾 Staff are very attentive and friendly. Define somewhere I would go again .

Went into The Farmhouse for the first time tonight, never been before and not familiar with layout and was quite busy. Walked past two ladies waiting to be seated and said excuse me as I walked past to look into the main bar area and a male member of staff said rudely, “Excuse you for barging past these two women waiting to be seated”. I was taken aback as there was need for it, so I took my custom across the road.

We had a meal here last night, food was amazing and the staff were so friendly especially the man who served us. Highly recommend

Great Sunday lunch, very good service and reasuringly helpful and concious of the tables food allergies. Thanks loads. Highly recommend and we will return.

The room i had was super comfortable and modern and warm as the weather outside was a little grey The only downside is parking if you can't get in the staff bays as the only option is the public car park which is big obviously you would have to pay Where this located is in the malling village which is beautiful and has plenty to do

Food was acceptable, service a little lacking but when you have the attention of the staff they are excellent.

Chips were so salty I couldn't eat them. Salt was already added before food left kitchen, and as a diabetic I am unable to have salt.

Great posh pizza (chicken sheesh), sweet potato fries, and rocket and parmesan salad. Terrific stuff. Highly recommended

Great food and atmosphere and our waiter Archie was great! Joked around with us all night and made us feel welcome and that no ask was too much!

Visited for a birthday lunch and had the set menu. The food was tasty and we enjoyed a local Kentish wine. Archie served us today and was super attentive and recommended items from the menu. So refreshing to be waited on by such a lovely member of staff!

Really nice atmosphere, calm, quiet and friendly pub. Similar to every other elite pub chain, clean, amazing service and good food. Good value for money. Clean toilets, parking out back but you need to Pay.

We visited The Farmhouse today and were greeted rather curtly by someone who I believe may have been the manager. After waiting for our table, things initially took a positive turn when a delightful waitress came over to us. Unfortunately, that’s where the experience started to decline. After the initial contact, it became a struggle to get anything we needed. We had to ask multiple times for things that were forgotten, and it seemed nearly impossible to get anyone’s attention. The staff seemed to have tunnel vision, walking into the restaurant focused solely on specific tasks, entirely ignoring the other tables. Years ago, when I worked in a pub/restaurant, we were taught to always check on the other tables after finishing up with a customer, to ensure everyone was happy and no one was trying to get your attention. This was the complete opposite. The staff made sure to avoid any eye contact with diners. As for the food, it was mediocre at best. I debated removing the service charge, but the lovely waitress who initially served us was so kind that I decided to leave it. Overpriced for the quality of food and service. Elite Pubs used to have an outstanding reputation, but having visited a few of their establishments recently, I’ve noticed a considerable decline in service quality.

We happened to be in West Malling after a morning drive and after walking up and down the town stopped in at The Farm House for lunch. We both decided on the steak and ale pie and it did not disappoint. Nice chunks of steak, encased in a proper pie (not just a lid) and the veg was cooked to perfection. The server Archie was top notch. He had multiple large tables but kept everyone happy and was quick with a joke and a smile. He’s a great asset to the restaurant! If we are ever in the area we will definitely stop back in.

Starter of scallops was good, main course of duck wasn’t, I wasn’t asked if it was ok and I didn’t complain as potatoes and green stuff was okay. My two friends were asked if theirs were okay but I think he didn’t want to ask me as I left most of my duck, I ate one bit. Wine was good and service okay, but will not be rushing back.

Archie was fabulously attentive to us on our night out. Always smiling and ever helpful. We had a lovely evening celebrating my friend’s birthday 🎈

Excellent establishment- food was amazing as was Archie our waiter - perfect lunch date - will definitely visit again - highly recommend

What a beautiful pub and the food here is amazing and I can honestly recommend the roast lamb with cauliflower cheese to share. But the service is very slow, it took nearly 10 minutes to get a drink and order our food. It took nearly another 10 minutes to get the bill after they took our plates from the table. Perhaps it’s an off day.

Went there on the weekend, lovely pub very nicely decorated with a nice ambience. Service was very friendly and quick plus the food was lovely.

Good pub, lovely, lovely door staff, they made the whole experience great, especially Leo and Carlos.

Perfect food and superb service.

Lovely restaurant with plenty of seating. We booked a table and went and the food was lovely. Plenty to choose from. All staff are super friendly and happy to help. We had a brilliant waiter called Alfie and he was never far away if you needed him for anything, as we're the other staff as well. Didn't feel rushed and they were eager to ensure everything was ok. Will definately go again

We visited today for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed! We sat outside on the terrace in the shade which was very pleasant. Our server Damian was absolutely marvellous! He was so attentive and thoughtful! He heard my 4 year daughter say she wanted a Yorkshire pudding but she doesn’t eat roast dinner so when her sausage chips came out she was super excited to see a giant Yorkshire on her plate. This made me super emotional as its little touches like this that mean so much. He was patient and great with our kids and I am even got an extra Yorkshire because I didn’t get own that last time I was at an elite pub. The food was delicious, the children’s came out with our starters and our main came out shortly after and was piping hot and very much enjoyed by myself and my husband. All in all a wonderful experience and would highly recommend and are sure to come back soon. Thank you to Damien and all the staff

Lovely pub here! Came along for a networking dinner, there was a little bit of a wait but we did have a large group of us and the pub was already busy, The chicken Caesar salad was divine! Fresh lettuce and juicy chicken and I also had the lamb kofta which was so flavoursome with all the right bits with it. Would deffo recommend!

Great food, good service, nice garden. Will definitely go back.

Nice pub with great outdoor area. Pizza are nice too

Lovely time to catch up with friends. Archie was awesome and made us feel very welcome - Was great host and remembered our order even when we quizzed him on it! Great night

Fabulous food and service as always! Got the table we requested in the Terrace and Archie was super professional, humorous and attentive. Food was great and the 2 x fish and chips inc free bottle of vino was a great perk! Thanks again!

The best service from Archie, great food and drinks. Went for 2 for 1 pizzas and they were lovely, would definitely recommend!

Large wine is 175ml in other pubs 250ml. It's not a great pub if you want to drink, all tables laid out for dinners on a Wednesday afternoon,

Never disappointed with the food at the Farmhouse; I have the roast dinner every Sunday and always bring my friends here when a lunch date is in the offing. Thanks, Stephan (bar) for the great service, my friends felt well looked after.

Lovely food and excellent service from Archie. We will definitely be back. Had some fussy teenagers and very accommodating. Great atmosphere, highly recommend!

Great pub, visited many times over the last 10 years, but surprised to see that all the best sunny part of the garden has been overtaken by sheds. Was a bit disappointing, considering the raised platform was always the best seats for the sun, and the sheds were closed with no guests. Sheds are a good idea, but in the wrong place of the garden. Food was enjoyable as usual, but not good value for the portion sizes, especially the tapas. Friendly staff, good service, great selection of drinks, but had to wait 20 minutes at the bar one day recently, when it wasn’t even busy (long gone are the days where the garden area was standing only!). Still a great pub, but not the atmosphere and standard that it used to be.

Visited on a Warm Thursday evening. Friendly staff and a nice selection of drinks. No reservation had been made but were able to get a table for 4 adults. 2 calzone and 2 pizzas which were on the large size and no need for side dishes. A very pleasant evening with polite, friendly and attentive staff. Hope to return soon

We had lunch at the Farm House after a walk round the park. We were seated outside in their hut. Witch needed a clean. However, the food was presentable and tasty, and the staff were polite. The price was more than I thought, but we all injured The Farm House. We would come back agian😄👍

1st visit here. V good service food was excellent. Would of been 5 stars but im an optimist always want more! Seriously great place

Lovely pub in the high street. Ample parking round the back. A proper sun trap outside with high walls blocking most of any wind. Great place for a weekend lunch date, without the kids.

Really nice pub with great selection of food, wine and cocktails. Service was friendly and really appreciated the no alcoholic drink selection for the drivers.

Seriously rude. We went in here for pizzas, ordered them and after eating we were still hungry and the kitchen was shut. We then checked with the door staff if we could get a portion of chips from the kabob shop and return which was agreed. It is then the waiter/manager was extremely rude and asked us to stop eating the chips in the garden area. We got up and decided to leave.

My wife and I had a nice meal here, a bit pricey but otherwise no complaints. Good food and atmosphere. We were upstairs which was bright and airy. I felt for the young waitress going up and down the stairs so many times as there is no dumb waiter.

Went with my family for birthday meal this eve love this place been a few times now staff are very friendly always fab food Archie who looked after us was so efficient and friendly and caring & so polite what a lovely lad always had a big smile on his face deffo would recommend & be back soon

I have been drinking and dining at the Farmhouse from the day Marcel took it over . And I am the most awkward person to please . I ask for a certain recipe to be changed to my liking , the chef probably hates me. Understandably so ,, but my request has never faulterd.it has always been honoured.The staff have always been polite and professional as can be with such an awkward customer as myself. My reviews will posted through various hospitality sectors. I must add that in my opinion your manager Scott is very professional in his manner. All this adds to the well being of your establishment. Pat your staff on the back .. they well deserve it ...

Lovely outdoor garden Food and service fantastic

Great place. Much bigger than expected. Outside undercover eating and huts to book too. Outside cocktail area. Nice food.

Nice ,second time I've been here.

Archie was our server and he couldn’t have been more attentive! Lovely space and gorgeous food and drinks! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Perfect location on the Highstreet, lovely garden area with a choice of sun or shade

A lovely hotel, great staff. The room was spacious and clean. Lot's of choice for food. Shame breakfast isn't served but they have a partnership with a cafe one minute away. It was extremely hot though, a fan was provided but didn't do much. The boiler broke on my stay meaning no shower, but the moment I mentioned it to the staff they were apologetic and did what they could to compensate me. It is a lovely quiet place to stay.

A large group of us just enjoyed some very good food and excellent service, despite the Farm House being super busy. Thank you Archie, we will be back.

Would highly recommend The Farm House. The menu had lots of choice and the quality was amazing and good value for money. We sat in the garden with our dog, and was given fresh water for her, without asking, making us feel she was welcomed. Shout-out for Archie, top man. He was attentive and polite, adding to a wonderful lunch time experience.

It’s no secret I love an Elite Pub. This one isn’t too far from where I live but I hadn’t been for a while so it’s changed a little with new decor & now has an updated separate cocktail area. We went for a light lunch & sat in the main pub. Really lovely welcoming staff & the food as always was delicious.

Went for a family celebration meal. Food was excellent. Location, decor, ambience, service, top class. 👌

Good food and staff, didn't try the rooms though

Just fabulous the whole package

Great pizzas…..average service…son said it was ok, nothing special.

Nice little town with a good pub n good choice from menu

Lovely Sunday roast. Unfortunately my partner didn't like the roast potatoes covered in garlic seasoning.

Lovely location, amazing food, excellent service I have to Damien a mention who waited on us as his customer service and attention goes above and beyond highly recommended try it you will not be disappointed

Booked a table of 9 for a surprise for a friend. Was told after being seated upstairs fir our meal that we would have to get our own drinks from the bar downstairs as it wasnt included in table service. This ment people being absent from the table for long periods when it was ment to be a surprise bringing all friends together. Was told we couldnt do sepreate tabs for our meals yet when we tried to pay the staff seemed quite annoyed at having to do seperate transactions after we had figured out who owed what... 1 person asked for theirs to be put in a takeaway container (ill health ment they couldnt eat after ordering) and the staff brought the container up and left them to do it themselves after being quite rude. I would not recommend this place to anyone wishing to enjoy their night n be treated decently by waiting staff. Food was however extreamly tasty.

My experience was OK, good food, I love that dogs are welcome. The big problem for me is that In 2024 your staff don't understand That Scottish currency is legal tender. Please explain for me?

Absolutely gorgeous pub, staff friendly and helpful. Love the pizza and the real ales are really nice.

Great service. Excellent atmosphere

Great place for a quiet family meal. We had the upstairs room to ourselves.

Great lunch choice and lovely atmosphere. The shacks are excellent, a really lovely way to have a celebratory lunch with your own choice of music and with privacy too!! Excellent food and cocktails and brilliant wine selection. Service superb and very helpful. Highly recommended

Really good for a local restaurant. We had a table for 5 and it was pretty amazing. My brother and my little sister had fish n' chips whereas me, my mum and our neighbour had pizza. It was very lovely. Even the dessert was lovely as well. Me and my brother had a chocolate brownie and it was lovely whereas the other 3 had a crumble, ice cream and sorbet. I want to go there again!!! This was awesome!! Well done to the team for the food!!!

The food was excellent and very delicious The service was a pleasure and advice was given regarding the food which was very helpful Sat in the restaurant side and the décor was very pleasant I would recommend it with a wide variety on the menu including lots of pizzas

Good food. Lovely Sunday roast. Nice staff. The outside seating areas looked Great too.

We came in for lunch today (Monday) around midday, we were a little early so no one else seating yet. The service from Mirca was really great as was the menu and food. Portions were good and fair pricing, chips were a little over seasoned but still enjoyable.

There is a good range of food freshly cooked. Not just the freezer to microwave stuff you seem to get in so many places these days. Particularly like the fact that a lot of it is locally sourced. They were very busy and we hadn’t booked but they managed to squeeze us in . The staff are very friendly and you can share a joke with them so it is always a pleasure to come here

Always great service. Food is generally great, we always take people visiting. Amazing sticky toffee pudding!! 2024: came for mother's day meal in the evening and everything was superb, from the food to the impeccable service. We loved every second! Thank you as always Farmhouse crew

I very rarely have cause to write a negative review however this needs to be said so lessons can be learned. We were really looking forward to our Sunday lunch after a short walk but after being great with a smile we were shown into the dining room and our table for two but on walking into the room there was a great wall of heat greeting us, either the heating has been set far too high or the heat from the kitchen was going into the room and was not able to escape due to closed windows and door. I don't mind a warm room but this felt uncomfortable throughout our meal, there were others in the room that also seemed to be 'stripping' to cool down as well. We have absolutely no complaints about our service (perhaps we should have asked about getting the heating turned down) but when our meals came up, they looked delicious except that straight away my partner noticed that her meat was cold, so we sent it back to be warmed up again. My meat was also lukewarm but I accepted it, initially, so I had to start eating it while my partner waited for the return of her meal. I started eating and the vegetables which were plenty hot enough, especially with the hot gravy over them, then eat some turkey and a little beef, which were colder than I would have like but OK. However, when I unfurled the beef to take another cut I discovered that the beef was really, really undercooked! I like my beef medium rare or even rare but this was more than blue, it was totally uncooked apart from some of the edges. So, because I was concerned about uncooked meat on my plate, I had to send my food back just at the same time as my partners meal came back to her which meant that she had to eat her meal while I sat back to wait for my meal to return. It's such a shame that our meals were ruined by some very basic errors of: - Not ensuring that the dining room was a comfortable temperature (19 to 21 degrees rather than what I suspect to have been 26-27 degrees!) - Not ensuring that the food is hot before serving. - Not ensuring that the food is cooked sufficiently before serving.

I went in for a spot of lunch and a Merlot or two ; never disappointed , had a very good bbq pork ribs and an amoretto crème brûlée ( delicious served with a fresh strawberry) , their Merlot is always good ; smooth but not bland . Looked after very well by the lovely Abby and of course the chefs who you don’t often see . Another very enjoyable visit

Had a fabulous Sunday roast for a family birthday. The food was delicious and we were well looked after by Helen who was so kind and helped us with our food choices. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Great Sunday lunch, the vegan lasagna is lovely. Husband had the roast beef and said it was the best roast (apart from mine of course) that he’d had in a long time. Laura served us and was very professional and great fun too.

Laura served us today, spot on service. I had the scallops for starters and the roast beef for main course. The standard of the service and food was very good. I’ll definitely be back again.

Another fantastic experience dining at The Farmhouse today! Damien always looks after us so well and this time he exceeded himself by pre-emoting my order!! It was my partner’s birthday and he’s had a lovely lunch!! Special thanks also to Chef Anita for making the best steak ciabatta for me! A very full and happy couple here, thank you!

One of the best roasts I had, I just finished and thought I definitely need to write a review how good it was 😂 thoroughly recommend Dogs very welcome here

We both had the Sunday roasts and I must say it was the best roast that I have had outside of home cooked. So much better than the henghist .

Had a nice pizza. Expensive for what it was though and the Gin and Tonic was astronomically Expensive!

Visited today at lunchtime for the wife's birthday. We aren't really the sort of people who have what I would describe as "a meal" for lunch, a paying, baguette, sandwich, ploughman's and some chips to share is my definition of lunch. Having said that we shared a steak ciabatta and a couple of starters/small plates. What we had was excellent, not cheap for lunch (75quid for 2) but very nice. I guess they do very nicely serving "dinners" all day, my only criticism would be the lack of, what to me personally, is "lunch fayre". Oh yeah they're dog friendly too which is always great.

Very good service and food plenty of choice.

My recent meal there was poor. In particular the pork belly with bubble and squeak. Firstly the crackling was so hard to be inedible and worse the, so called, bubble and squeak consisted of virtually raw potato lumped together with a bit of veg. All three of my guests who had this agreed it was not up to standard. If I hadn’t been in a group I would certainly have sent it back.

We live the Farmhouse, we normally take my dog and he's made so welcome and gets such a fuss made of him, he loves it! Food is good and cocktails good too!

Lovely evening for valentines with my partner! The service was fabulous and the food was delicious, I opted for the Cod and it was beautiful. The tables had been decorated for the theme and the team went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Massive shout out to Laura who served us! A real asset to the team - thank you.

We were very impressed with the valentine's menu. The cod and prawns dishes were a favourite, spicy risotto balls surprisingly tasty. Laura and Holly were friendly, great service. It was busy but staff were on the ball. Valentines fizz a nice tipple.

Came in for a Valentine’s Day and was served by Laura. The meal was delicious and Laura was attentive and cheerful throughout. She looked after us really well. A nice touch at the end was being given heart chocolates. All in all a lovely evening and would highly recommend, especially Laura.

Everyone was friendly, couldn't do enough to make tye visit good.

I didn't stay in rooms so can only comment on the bistro. The seating arrangements were snug . We got drinks quickly but food took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. The main courses were plentiful except the accompanying salad which was small. Both mains were tasty , hot and fresh. Didn't try puddings as too full. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Large pay carpark behind bistro .

Went for dinners with my daughters, had the Vegan lasagne and croquettes was absolutely delicious. Big thank you to Lucy and Damien for wonderful service back again soon x

Not our first visit & certainly won’t be our last! Good atmosphere, best fish & chips for miles & friendly and attentive service without being intrusive. As good as any other Elite pub I have been to. I like the flexibility of the menu - you could have a snack and a coke or a full 3 course meal with wine and coffee! The Farmhouse has a cozy restaurant, more seating upstairs when it gets busy, a nice bar/pub area and lots of outdoor options for the summer. It’s consistently good and one of our favourite locals. GREAT espresso martinis!

The skewer chicken has to be one of my favourite meals, it is so tasty. I swop the pita in for more salad to be gluten free, and it’s beautiful. The portion size is generous and I just love it!

Very tasty food. We enjoyed a lovely vegan lasagne and Aberdeen Angus beef burger - both generous portions. Good wine list and nice to see 85+% of the food is sourced locally!

Another lovely meal at The Farmhouse.. we took our parents for Sunday lunch and they were not disappointed! food was great and Laura was amazing making sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire lunch. thanks for making dinner with our parents special.

Booked Sunday lunch for my boyfriend’s birthday and I’m so glad I chose The Farmhouse. We’ve been to other pubs in the chain but never the farmhouse. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We were seated quickly by a very friendly member...

Very accommodating, Sunday roast was lovely and staff friendly.

Friendly staff but understaffed. Food was not coming out according to when the order was placed - table next to us arrived later and were served before us and there was a long delay. The fillet steak was chewy and overcooked to how I actually...
