The George & Dragon in Tonbridge and Malling

Not gonna lie its not often you manage to irk me with bad service however this shambles of a joint cant seem to help themselves. Your sunday roast was below par at its very best and frankly the staff are rude as hell. Only good thing going for it were some of the young ladies there. Eloisa i think her name was I hope you pay your staff better than you serve your food

There “managers” are rude and the bar guy is not friendly and rude to the other staff

Great Sunday roast. Was able to fit a table of 9 last minute. Very friendly staff. Love the village and pub. Super quaint.

After over 10 visits to The George & Dragon in Ightham, my recent experience left a bad impression. Due to poor WiFi and card connection issues, I couldn’t pay my £40 bill and was asked to leave my backpack as security while I fetched cash. As someone from the Guernsey community, I found this insulting - I wouldn’t vanish over a £40.00 bill. For an establishment I’ve supported many times, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience.

Lovely as always. Went on a Monday night, great atmosphere on a cold wet evening. Nice fish and chips and ham and eggs. Good service, would strongly recommend

We were a casual party of three for lunch. Service was exemplary from Misha, who was single-handedly managing the restaurant. Our food was on par too: whitebait, charcuterie, broccoli & Stilton soup, grilled chicken, pork sausage and mash, apple crumble, and lemon posset. Certainly worth a return visit.

Food was excellent, as were the staff.

Love this pub as our local. Food is great. The specials are good and varied and a nice change to the standard menus. Staff are brill. Known a couple of them for years. Dog friendly and, ok not the cheapest pub but doesn't disappoint like others nearby.

Great menu, staff very polite and knowledgeable with regards to allergies, great beers and atmosphere, good value, wilm visit again.

This was a lovely surprise, in a quiet village. Great hospitality and nice food in a really clean and pleasant pub. Definitely recommend a visit

Was here the other night for my son's football presentation very nice establishment great evening good service and very attentive staff

We really enjoyed our Father's Day meal here. The pub is in a beautiful village setting and boasts the original wonky beams and low doorways of a 16th century drinking hole. The menu is simple and unpretentious, but the food is delicious, cooked to perfection and generous in portion size. The staff are friendly, helpful and gave us the space and time to enjoy our meal as a family group of 9. We stumbled upon the pub as a happy accident but would definitely book again.

We booked for 1.30 last Friday but because of unforseen problems weren't able to get to the G and D until 2.15. But this was not a problem for them and we had a really tasty lunch and drinks

Great place for a family Sunday Lunch. We received generous portions and the staff were lovely. Although I think all food out is over priced, this was more competitive than most. We will definitely return. Good for familys.

Quick and friendly service. Nice food.

Typical country pub serving a good range of dishes. Food was pretty good but the dessert prices were a bit hefty. For 6 people we were charged a surprisingly high 14 % !

Lovely traditional English country pub

Nice Sunday lunch. Bar staff excellent.

The menu states they do sandwiches mon - sat. We drove there on a day out and tried to order two sandwiches and chips. The staff told us the kitchen staff “didn’t want to do sandwiches”. The place wasn’t close to full and the “chefs” were just stood in the kitchen not even mid-cook. They said they’d do us a big, hot meal but refused to do a cheese sandwich despite not having any advertised “end of lunch service”. The front of house staff were lovely and really embarrassed by the kitchen staff, offering us suggestions of other places to go which turned out to be lovely.

Fantastic staff welcoming and friendly. Lovely atmosphere will definitely be back

We dropped in for a quick drink. The location is very warming, the interior is welcoming. The perfect place to read a book, chat with the locals of have fun with some friends.

We popped in here on our drive home from Kent this afternoon. The pub has a lovely olde-worldly feel. The service was polite and the food was tasty & reasonably priced. Recommended.

Great food, good service and plenty of availability at late notice. As not that busy on this Saturday night there was a slight lack of atmosphere. Car park has less spaces than would be necessary if pub was busier with visitors so might need to find street parking or round the corner in the village hall car park.

From the moment you walk into the George and Dragon, the excellent experience of a well run country pub in Kent starts!! Cheery smiles, prompt service, excellent food and an excellent IPA ( Bear Island). Can’t or couldn’t fault it. Perfect venue to visit from Igtham Mote . A National Trust property well worth a visit.

A fabulous 6 course tasting menu, celebrating our son in law’s birthday. Each course was excellent and each was paired with an excellent wine. Compliments to the chef and sommelier, who both were expert at their jobs. A lovely evening and congratulations to the G&D for putting on such a successful, sell-out evening.

Amazing staff, great food and atmosphere, celebrated a 90th birthday here, they managed 18 of us perfectly! Would absolutely come back.

Lovely place Bueatiful food… and most importantly staff that wanted to serve you…

We booked here last minute for Sunday lunch. The pub is in a very pretty location and has a fine history, but the interior feels soulless, a little cheap and entirely lacking in ambiance. It is pretty unwelcoming and utilitarian and certainly doesn't live up to its location/exterior. Staff, however, were lovely and both friendly and efficient. Starters and main courses were really tasty and well cooked, with decent portions too. Dessert was a little disappointing as the quality wasn't as good. I suspect in the apple crumble the filling was either brought in pre made or used tinned apple instead of fresh. All in all, savoury was good, sweet wasn't, service was good, dining room wasn't, so all in all I wouldn't go again

BOOKED FOR LUNCH FOR 11 of us portions very small the chicken linguinie was a very small offering and should have come with spinach . We asked where the spinach was to our server she said she would ask the chef we got no response. Also it was almost cold and the chicken very dry . Very dissapointing not cheap for child size portions. Will not be returning.

We went here a few years ago and had a wonderful meal. Thought we would pay a return visit. A main dish was unavailable as was a dessert. They had no Rose wines. Our meal was nice, but we were not offered any sauces. It wasn't advertised that the burger came with cheese, so I had to remove that before I could eat it. I had a glass of Chardonay, 125 size, for which I was charged £6.10! Sorry an absolute rip off. We will not be returning. My response to your reply. I did not mishear the waitress, I asked if you had Pinot Blush which she advised you didn't have but did have Zinfadel, then said you didn't have any Rose. Another customer was also advised the same when he asked for a Rose. P.S I had a 125 Rose wine in another pub today it was £4.90! You are definitely ripping people off!

No room in the car park so a quarter mile walk from beyond the double yellows gave us an appetite for a decent roast. Avoid the beef though.

Had a lovely Saturday lunch here today. Very friendly staff & great food

Nice breakfast, usual choices from full english breakfast as well as other favourites. Very well cooked and presented and good attentive service. Full englsh with toast and butter but no marmalade.

We only went for a drink but the food smelled great

Lovely country pub,good food,friendly staff.Enjoy going with friends,good atmosphere too

We went with friends for an evening meal, the food was great apart from the brussel sprouts which were very under done.

love this place...brilliant staff...

Friendly atmosphere.I have eaten in the restaurant before but ,as my friend had her dog with her we sat at a table in the bar area. Good quick service, reasonable prices .

Beautiful place but can’t comment on food as only stopped in for a drink. Really nice staff. Can’t wait to come back for a meal. Lovely outdoor area. Good parking.

Definitely worth a visit. Food was very good. Bathrooms very clean. Staff very nice. I only knocked a star off as they had run out of chicken and there was a rugby game going on, and it was very loud.

Lovely beer garden and roast dinner smelt amazing and will be booking forva Sunday lunch

Was exceedingly impressed with this place. Our first visit and really couldn't fault anything, and I do normally like a moan! Will definitely be back. Value for money, great food, good atmosphere, clean, staff more than capable. BRILLIANT 👏

Menu is many fish based, no good pub food on menu

Was a bit quiet as had a late morning meeting. Staff very friendly.

Service a bit slow. Couldn't fault the food.

Attended a wake only to find out the charge was £16.00 per head for 25 people makes £400 for literally sausage rolls Iceland pizza and spring rolls anemic chicken and sandwiches how on earth does that warrant that amount of money absolutely disgusting what you charge for the rubbish you get , anyone could of done that for under 50.00 you should be ashamed, would never recommend this pub, this is a food review not the drinks which were bought separately.

Excellent service and really great food. Top pub, always got a table for two whenever we go.

My friend and I had dinner at the George & Dragon last night, the food was gorgeous, but what really stood out was the lovely member of staff, gentleman with a beard, he was so courteous, considerate and kind in looking after us. We just wanted to say a big thank you!

Wow… just brilliant. From the first phone call to book a table (lots of places shut on Mondays!) and talking to the really friendly James (who was brilliant throughout our visit) to welcome, service, food quality, the kind waitress (sorry I didn’t get your name!) and they even looked after our dog with treats etc. Just perfect really. Will be coming back 100%

Excellent, Food and Service. Highley recommend.

Lovely food will definitely book again.

Impressive. Really good food and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful full English Breakfast at the George & Dragon this morning! The food was delicious and we really enjoyed sitting in the peaceful and pretty outside area. The staff were very welcoming and professional too. What a great way to start a sunny Sunday, thank you!

It was our first time coming here, and we will definitely be coming back. What a lovely chilled atmosphere and pleasant surroundings. The food was fantastic. I had fillet salmon with salad and green beans. The salmon was cooked to perfection. My fella had scampi and fries, which was equally as tasty. We had the apple crumble with custard that was really good but has nuts in the crumble, unusual but it did give a nice crunch to the crumble (nuts are mentioned on the menu in case of allergies). Our waitress was super attentive and fabulous customer service.

Nice spacious environment. Good food at reasonable prices. Excellent staff.

Nice place to chill and food is fantastic

Had a fab evening last night at their wine and food tasting evening,6 courses of beautiful food with 5 fantastic wines all exquisite to the eye and pallet with some fantastic tastes and flavours,bravo chef and all the staff and team and Debbie,superb evening...

Had lunch in this establishment the food was good service ok a all round nice place to eat when your out and about.

Great quality pub menu. Absolutely superb lamb shank! Would have it twice if I wasn't so full from the first one 🤣

Nice food, great staff who were friendly and competent.

Quite nice, but inexperienced waitress staff.

Visited last night , disappointing evening. They were not busy but we were placed in a room on our own where basically the staff kept forgetting about us and therefore the service was patchy at best. My starter the garlic prawns were very tasty , then had the special lamb tagine as a main. The sauce although not what I was expecting was tasty but the lamb was tough and chewy !!! My husband had the whitebait and then a beef burger , both of which he said looked and tasted “ bought in “ and nothing very special. All in all very mediocre and definitely not worth the hefty price. Shame but we won’t be visiting again

Fantastic food, beer was good too

Food was very good. The Sunday roast was tasty, and cooled to our likling. Atmosphere friendly, and service was great. Only downside was that we had to wait 40 minutes over our booked table time for the other diners to finish their drinks.

Simple menu executed really well. Friendly staff, nice environment. On our list of one to return to whenever we are in the area.

I used to stop here after work as I was without a car and would have to wait for a lift over the month and half I had to do this I got to know all of the regular team who couldn’t of been more accommodating, friendly and welcoming to me. A lovely pub with lovely service, well worth a visit!

Lovely and popular venue in a rural village. Food is excellent and good value. Staff are courteous and effective. Dog friendly and family friendly.

Nice vibe, but food let it down- Very mediocre.

That was a lovely English Pub. We had a reunion with my friend. Lovely atmosphere, nice service, great food, yummy and fresh (enough vegetarian options- it's important for me😉). I felt like home. It was a great experience 👍

Fantastic dinner! I had see brim with new potatoes, it was excellent! Would highly recommend to anyone

I have have been going to the George fora a lot of years as has all of my family how have lived in and around the village all of our lives good food and beers

Busy on Sunday. Food, drinks and service were all good. Car park was full for our visit, we ended up in the community centre car park, which was a 5 minute walk. Prices were pretty high.

Good atmosphere, food great staff looked after you. Well done 👍

Burger wasn't cooked through still very pink in the middle

Lovely atmosphere, warm, cosy bar area. Separate restaurant area (no pets allowed) , food was top quality from the festive menu. Lovely family occasion.

Only popped in for a cheeky lunchtime drink would have rated higher but couldn't see a fireplace lit

Great place and staff highly recommended 👌

Beautiful pub and village. Food was fine but not special,2 beef roasts were apparently OK but the nut roast gravy I had was boring and over salty. Broccoli and carrots were slightly overcooked but the cabbage and cauliflower were good. Whitebait was nicely cooked but a small portion for £7.95 ( yesterday in a pub near ramsgate we had 3 times the amount of whitebait for £3.95 & was really tasty!) Kids burger was standard as we're nuggets. Staff were excellent, really friendly and efficient.

Was the first time here and no way we were disappointed . From the moment we came through the door to a very warm welcome, until we left the service, was great, the food amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection and presented very well. We will definitely be going back. We booked before hand and that turned out to be a very good idea..

The 8 of us were made very welcome in the pub, as we arrived for an excellent breakfast. The teas and coffees were 'proper'. The prices are very good, we will definitely be coming back, often.

Wonderful place to visit excellent food and service

Attended today for lunch where the food was lovely. Had the lamb shank and apple pie and it hit the spot. It was very clean and tidy in a lovely part of Kent. Staff were very welcoming. Will return again.

We found the G&D quite by accident and dropped in for a light lunch and drinks. The ambience, staff and food was excellent. Highly recommend a visit.

Good selection of beers and food. With good service

Google states they shut at 10pm. Tried to get food at 8:20pm and kitchen refused. Can’t believe that a kitchen would be closed at 8:20pm on a Friday night on a bank holiday weekend! Seems crazy!

Food was awful. Starter ok & drinks ok. Fish & Chips not good & mushy peas tasted burnt, chips not cooked!!! Lamb Kofta was so overcooked not good. Kofta not paid for but it's not about the money. Shan't be going back.

Beautiful pub with the loveliest team of young staff. Although one of the staff had only been with George and Dragon for 3 shifts, she made every effort to help us out and bring us what we needed. We were also so impressed with the food. We each ordered a cappuccino to start and had the fish and chips. The fish and chips were the best I have ever had! So fresh and battered lightly without any extra grease. We can't wait to come again - thank you for the lovely experience.

Great atmosphere. Good service. Good menu. Would definitely recommend.

Great food ,pleasant surroundings poor service,overall would go again.

A fantastic local restaurant with delicious meals, a great atmosphere and friendly service. Quality meat cuts.

Best prawns I've had in a long time

Fantastic service. The food was amazing. Lovely surroundings. Highly recommended.

Great place to eat,excellent food and service

Lovely staff fitted us in,we were late for lunch ,they were excellent at making us welcome and we had a delicious brie and bacon sandwich! Just perfect.

Very accommodating and polite ,great service

Had a great breakfast there. Really nice staff, good value, must try and get back there again soon.

Celebrated a surprise 70th Birthday in their function room. Would highly recommend it! The staff were very helpful the food Buffett great. A fabulous night was had by all.

All very pleasant. Enjoyable, tasty food; good service and a congenial environment. All four of us agreed that it was a good lunch.

The food and service was amazing. Unfortunately the bar was quite loud from where we were seated

Lovely open fire ,food fabulous too
