The Farm House in Tonbridge and Malling

We stopped here for one night after a 2 day schlep from France. Room was very comfortable with every mod con you could need. Food was delicious and represented good value for money. All staff were friendly, a special shout out to Sam was particularly friendly and he went above and beyond to ensure we all had a fab stay. Thanks Sam 😃

Really enjoyed my lunch here. The halloumi fries and tender stem broccoli were delicious, and the Hawaiian pizza was also very good. Sam and Lucy provided excellent service - they were both friendly and efficient. Just a small note for the kitchen: might be worth checking the pineapple before serving. Apart from that, a very good experience!

One of THE best roasts I've ever had!!!

Delicious food and safe for coeliac/gf, thank you for making me feel safe and explaining I could eat more than I first thought on the menu!

The atmosphere is cool, and the food is absolutely delightful, particularly the pizzas, which are a standout. 🍕 We visited for a family meal, and I’m happy to say that everyone had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed their meals. 👍 The garden area is beautifully designed, offering a serene place to relax apart some drunk village gangster lads lol , and the sunny seating area at the front is perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Plus, the wood-fired pizza oven adds a unique and charming touch to the overall ambiance. It really enhances the experience! Deserve to try

Summary: Overall an okay place to visit but the food was nothing to shout about. We popped in for some food, whilst in the area. I found the farmhouse online and it appealed as most of the food is sourced locally, up to 80%, I think. If like us you value sustainability and supporting local businesses this restaurant is perfect. The service was okay. The atmosphere and the decor were nice. However the food was very bland. We started with a starter of Broccoli and Stilton soup. The soup was quite flavourless, and the only saving grace was the bread. For our main course, we ordered the burrito bowl, which again was bland. It lacked any seasoning, making it almost tasteless. As a burrito bowl, it was a letdown. Overall we were left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the food at the farmhouse.

We've eaten here twice for a birthday and anniversary. Both lunch and dinner were amazing. Really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. The dinner was delicious and we will definitely go back again. A really brilliant place to eat.

First time visit but what amazing food, and such a gorgeous establishment. Service was quick, and friendly. Only went for lunch / dinner so can’t comment on the rooms, but if they’re the same standard as everything else - amazing! Cannot find fault anywhere and cannot wait to go back. See you soon guys!

Great place, lovely food especially the pizzas 🍕 Went for a family meal & all enjoyed it 👍 lovely garden area & sunny seating area out the front

I went here with my family for Sunday lunch on mother's Day. The food the drink and the service were excellent.

My husband and I visited the farmhouse for Sunday dinner. Although the roast option had run out, we still enjoyed a wonderful meal from the standard menu. I had the meat pie, and my husband opted for the curry. Both dishes were served piping hot and beautifully presented. We'll definitely return, and hopefully, we'll get to try the roast next time.

Wonderful Mother’s Day lunch - my daughter and I love pizza which was cooked by Anita and son had roast. Food excellent. Looked after by Laura - very friendly and attentive. Decor inside is gorgeous! Lovely atmosphere! And given a pressie of gin & tonic to take home!

We went here for Mother’s Day. The food cooked by Marius was delicious and our waitress Laura was brilliant. Even though it was a busy day, she made sure we had everything we needed and we didn’t need to wait.

Lovely Mother’s Day meal! The service from Laura was amazing she was a huge help and ever so sweet xx compliments to chef Marius for the sticky toffee pudding 😍

Great food and service , had meal, no idea about hotel rooms

Poor service - very slow, little chat, no eye contact, Food poor - rice cluggy & salty

Booked this for a Sunday roast and wasn't disappointed. Prompt friendly service and the food was delicious. I opted for the roast leg of lamb, and it was spot on, thank you.

Update ref below: Thanks for response, I haven't had a discussion this morning, who did you ring? But I welcome your confirmation that you have now cancelled and there is no charges applied as I would expect. Some weeks ago we booked a room for 28 March, so we could attend an event at Kings Hill. We exchanged messages on quiet room, non available breakfast etc. We than cancelled the room, giving weeks of notice, following a potential medical issue and the fact we had cancelled the event we were attending. I asked for confirmation that no cancellation charges applied, for which I received confirmation of the same. 2 days prior to the original arrival I have now received a preregistration form for the room and asking if I want a table for dinner! I have reminded them about our timely notifications of cancellation and I await their reply.

Very disappointed to say the least. We live in west malling and always go to local restaurants this time it was farmhouse. We walked in and sat down at the table. Ignored by every member of staff especially blonde girl at bar giving us dirty looks. The table next to us were seated by staff and asked what drinks they would like. I asked for a menu to be told it’s at the bar and order your drinks there - confused as next table to us were getting them brought. My partner qued at the bar for over 10 mins where the blonde bar staff just kept ignoring him. A northern waiter came over to me and said you want any food? I didn’t see you there. Not even a hello or anything I said my partner was at the bar as Instructed We were looking at the menus and the male waitress came over and said you know what you want ? We asked for recommendations on the starter which he advised We ordered and atmosphere was horrific so asked to sit outside To be told just go out We sat outside had our food outside to which was really nice. We went inside to pay, lovely brunette young girl took our payment and the male told her our table, no how was the food was your meal nice ec Felt extremely uncomfortable won’t be returning.

Good food Great service no photos

Great pizza and great service, dog friendly too. Extensive menu. Great selection of drinks including cocktails. Friendly bar staff. Nice village, easy parking close by.

A word of advice, this restaurant believes celiac safe and gluten free are the same thing. They need to be aware that gluten-free and celiac safe aren't the same thing... And definitely not being rude about it on the phone.

First time back here for a couple of years, and still as good as before. Friendly staff, broad well priced menu, and very generous portions of well prepared food.

The food at tThe Farmhouse is always excellent. There is a real buzz and atmosphere here and the service, especially from Jasmine was excellent

I was treating family who had come over for the weekend. Jasmine was excellent, as were the rest of the team. The food was excellent, would happily recommend The Farmhouse West Malling.

Following our friend’s recommendation, we came here from Eltham for Sunday lunch today. I’ve never seen such big Yorkshire puddings! Helen and Laura were great servers. Next time we’ll bring the dog as they had great suggestion for dog walks as well. Thanks for lovely meal!

Great meal & service Fine quality food here, with great fast & friendly service !. The menu is varied - catering for most likes & tastes, and do remember to check the Specials of the day

Only visited the restaurant so can'tcommenton the rooms! Went here for lunch. I had mussels and fries, which were really delicious!!! The service was really good too! Would definitely come back again.

Lovely meal again. 2 x roast dinners (1 lamb, 1 beef) and a kids fish, chips and peas. Very yummy. All had the choc brownie pudding and it was delicious. Staff were attentive and service was quick. I enjoy coming here.

Heard good reviews however we were very disappointed. Staff unfriendly & slow service if you aren’t local Bar area untidy with dirty glasses Tables dirty Positive food was good!

I went here the other evening. Nice place and quite cosy

We booked for Christmas Day lunch and it was everything that we could of hoped for. The food was delicious, staff were all happy and helpful. The lovely Holly who was serving us went the extra mile by helping us with our elderly family member through the busy pub to our table. Thank you Holly for making the day really special :-)

Had a last minute Sunday meal at the Farmhouse today and was very impressed! Fast service, tasty food which was piping hot. Very attentive staff without being overbearing. Family friendly, highly recommend, just a shame we couldn’t stay longer.

Really caters for all! Food is great and service is quick. There's heaters if you want to sit outside. Top place.

the bar staff are extremely rude and condescending for no reason, one of the drinks had limescale in the glass and we were refused a new glass while given awful attitude, wouldn’t come back

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.

Accidentally booked in the restaurant when we had a dog but staff were super accommodating & set us up in the bar. Service & food all great 👍

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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,

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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?
