The Humphrey Bean in Tonbridge and Malling

Came to this pub after a pub quiz loss, however Harry the bartender and Chandler the supervisor were extremely friendly, and very accomodating to my group. All round fantastic experience, facilitated by Harry and Chancler, 5/5 will reccomend

Always great service from the bar staff ,especially grace and elisha very professional and prompt service,greeted with a smile and a chat well worth a visit 10/10

Pub has lovely garden and location . FOOD is particularly well prepared and staff are friendly and very helpful

A bar is a bar but don't know where you went. It was cold.

An inexpensive pub with friendly staff, lots of seating and a large beer garden

We went here yesterday for the first time. Lovely meal. The staff were so lovely.

Just witnessed a waitress with butterflies tattoo with blond hair and makeup say oh my god behind a disabled man’s back he can’t help being slow and doing that behind his back with no patience is disrespectful and rude

It is what it is. Lovely outside area, foods fine, drinks good, clientele are local... sticky tables to be expected ;)

Great breakfast friendly staff nice clean pub

Very nice family friendly place

Not a busy Friday but slow service and the tables could do with a wipe down. Bit of a sticky one still.

This is one of the nicest Wetherspoons. Great Value.

Had a fish and chips here and the fish was mainly batter and slightly frozen in the middle.

Had some good ales on. Like this one.

No dam wi-fi availability so can’t use the app to order so long queues. Saying that the staff were lovely. Food a bit cold… obviously not cooked fresh…. but good value :)

Very nice selection of food at great prices. Lots of seating.

Great Tonbridge Bitter but slow service. Gents toilets needed cleaning.

A really nice wetherspoons this one with a nice outside space too on a beautiful day. Food was really good at this one. Recommend a visit if you stop off in Tonbridge

Great, friendly staff, food came out hot, great building

Always a warm welcome by all the staff. Service and food always good. Staff work very hard. Enjoy coming here.

What you see is what you get. Good value

I wanted to put one star but it wouldn’t let me post it. Food was cold , yes, actually COLD. As if it had just come out of a fridge. What it was a burger with bacon - how is this possible?? My wife had eaten her meal by the time I got a replacement. Her curry and rice was really small about the size of a starter. We won’t come here again

Polite and speedy service when I visited today. Staff are always amazing especially aisha, sam r and Harry

Great family friendly pub, good food portions. The prices were really reasonable especially for a family of 5! Great quick service too.

I love this pub. It has been my favourite since I moved to Tonbridge years ago.

Always a great experience lovely warm welcome every time I come in two lovely girls called Grace and Alisha always provide service with a smile and always happy to help and always giving good entertainment. Tyler, Josh and Beth are also members of the team whose service and attention to patrons warrant acknowledgment and appreciation. We love this place. 10/10

The team at The Humphrey Bean, are always very welcoming. Tyler, Beth, Grace, Josh and team are appreciated.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is always hot and on warm plates. I was comfortable sitting on my own after my partner had gone to an optician appointment. Although it was busy, it had a welcoming and chilled atmosphere. Thank you Bethany for helping me get my food order, chatting to me and cleaning away- great service!

There's a manager in here called grace she's absolutely amazing the service she provides is brilliant go back anytime she is working I give her 10/10

One of the best pubs round here lovely staff i always enjoy being greeted by Grace and Alisha they are the most loveliest girls need a pay rise i think. Just a shame the wifi is slower than the staff other than that always provided with the best customer service here

Wetherspoons with all it's pros and cons. Getting served at bar can be a bit of a mission...

Love this place !!!! Best in whole of Tonbridge!!!!

Wow I just love this pub so much. Amazing friendly staff, really really good food especially the pizzas 🍕 Cheap as chips 🍟

Great pub, love the atmosphere. The staff are super lovely and we love sitting around the fireplace with the real fire

Lovely atmosphere and great food

Arrived with a friend on Tuesday morning early.2 girls who turned out to be the rudest awful people I have ever come across no room here to go into detail but both should be dismissed immediately.

Lovely pub, is busy but always get served and food always quick.

Nice beer, nice staff, nice price and nice and warm.....

Good pub and cheap beer and food big breakfast again today, as good as always.

Food was fine but our waitress, Tanya, was superb! Attentive, friendly, charming, helpful - a lovely woman. Good old fashioned service- the way it should be. Thank you.

Went to the Humphrey bean today and I was served by a lovely young lady Tanya who made sure we were taken care of. She went out her way to make our experience a pleasant one. Best service I’ve had from spoons

Went for the small breakfast, which was extremely good value for money, especially as it cam with coffee refills. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the establishment itself was pleasant, with comfortable seating, plenty of tables and clean toilet facilities.

Service was a Pile of pants.. food was acceptable. Same as it was a few months ago when I went in..

Great food friendly staff and great selection of beers

Decent spoons, the staff have always been friendly and welcoming no matter what time of day, safe to say some of them have become friends now. Decent real ale selections especially the guest ales. Staff are always on point with dealing with drunken idiots and people that just want to cause chaos for the sake of it.

We were a large group of more than 40 and have to say the food came out very quickly and for the most was very tasty. Service was a bit hectic at first but served with a smile and made sure we were all served for which everyone was very happy.

Nice food, but sometimes too crowded for my personal liking.

We attended a meet the Brewer session on wednesday at the Humphrey Bean, a burger and a beer for £5.00, (a bargain), we were able to try beers from the Three Acres brewery from Uckfield. The event was very well organised by Chandler, a very personable and pleasant member of the Humphrey Bean staff, he even provided table service for us , the whole experience was very enjoyabable. The beers we tried were very good and we were able to meet Chester from the Three acres brewery, who was also very pleasant and spent time talking to us about the brewery. We liked the beer so much that we chose it again on our next trip to the Humphrey Bean, we would definitely do this again. Thank you Chandler!!

Avoid! Rude staff! Chandler who claims to be a manager there is one of the rudest people Ive ever met! He made my experience horrible! He insulted me and my friends.

Humphrey Bean can get very busy at times and that is usually when it comes in for criticism on reviews. On a positive it is in a prime position and has a great large beer garden with views over the river and castle. The beer is always well kept and a good range available. There is usually a mixed age group of customers, which has to be a good sign. As with all Wetherspoons an extensive menu and does not cost a fortune for a night out. Visited yesterday for a 'meet the brewer 'event. A great evening and thanks to Chandler for organising this and various other 'meet the brewer' events.

I thoroughly enjoyed my usual ham egg and chips whilst in Tonbridge the other day. I brought the kids and was relieved to be met with colouring crayons and worksheets which they loved. Oh and tomato pasta! A lovely lunch, we will certainly be visiting again.

Lovely selection of ales! Chandler and Beth were a delight! I don’t understand these one star reviews… must be from disgruntled drunks after being kicked out for rowdy behaviour. The spelling mistakes seem to point that way!

The staff are always so welcoming, it’s a great atmosphere. Foods always prepared and presented well. Glasses are clean & don’t smell like a dishwasher like some establishments I’ve visited locally and I’ve never found a reason to complain. One other thing I’m proud of is the staff for recognising any issues or inappropriate behaviour by the public and handled with professionally. Sadly these low life individuals take to Google reviews and try to bring the establishment down. Don’t be fooled by 1 star reviews !! You literally cannot go wrong :)

Really disappointed and won't be going back anytime soon. Dirty tables not being cleared, miserable staff and terrible food. Asked one of the staff and they were less than helpful. Used to be a lovely friendly place with kind and helpful staff but has gone downhill sadly.

Food was crap, service was slow and the tables were sticky!

Completely appalling service by manager Chandler. Luck of professional approach and rude behaviour from this individual definitely are the reasons for most of one star ratings. We came as a group of friends having food and barely few drinks on Sunday afternoon hoping to have good time which was disappointing due to arrogant, rude and disrespectful comments from above mentioned Chandler ‘manager’. I’m pretty sure this guy knows nothing about management nor customer service approach. One the worst service ever encountered. Stay away if you can .

I went to Spoons in Tonbridge with my friends. We ordered 2 rounds and after the 3rd round the guy serving us says he refuses to serve us anymore because he heard that one of our friends lost her voice (she is ill). He said he was the manager on duty and had the right to refuse to serve us. That really shocked us! He weren’t even tipsy! He was very rude, unfriendly and disrespectful. His name is Chandler. He made us feel horrible and he made us feel very uncomfortable. Very rude! We were sat at a table, talking, and he started to treat us as some drunks! Chandler is a horrible manager with no respect for people! Avoid at all costs

Worst experience ever provided by so called manager Chandler , harrassing women swearing at us at the table and being completely unaccetable . Do not reccomend this place

Beer ok most of the time, but the food is very poor-often lukewarm or nearly cold on arrival. I suspect most of the stuff is pre- cooked and just reheated in the kitchen. Service is abysmal, staff (especially the " manager" ) completely disinterested when I tried to make a complaint about food quality. I'm done with this place.

Excellent service. Pub isn't amongst best in world. Still very good though. Wetherspoons at its best.

All empty tables hadn't been cleaned still used plates and glasses. Staff dress code not good .

Spicy chicken wings and mexican rice combo🤩🥰

nice pub, has a lovely beer garden that backs onto the wall of the castle. other than that just your standard run of the mill weatherspoons pub.

Busy but still great service and good food.

We always like coming to "Spoons" and we like it. The food is very nice (favourite is BBQ pizza) and tasty, staff are always nice and service is brilliant.

Busy this morning, 30 minute wait for breakfast but great value as usuall

This pub has a good atmosphere and really reasonable food!

The pub itself is lovely. Sub standard wetherspoons fare. Service was ok completely lacked any atmosphere

It's hit and miss - this was the large lunch wrap - half filled with 2 pieces of chicken 😂. Oh and 12 chips 😂 Revisited today. DONT order fish and chips at lunch time. Half the plate was empty and the fish looked more like a goujon 😂

Google requires a minimum of one star, but I don't think it deserves even one star here. Don't come to this place, it's too dirty, the waiter doesn't admit that he served the wrong food, and the coffee machine breaks down every year. There seem to be very few tourists like me here, they are all locals, most of them are very nice, but unfortunately, most of the ladies sitting around me are talking bad words non-stop, which is in line with this restaurant The current situation is that because I have already agreed on this location with my family, I am forced to sit here for more than three hours. During this period, I went to pick up coffee. When I came back, my seat was occupied, and the person was unwilling to give up my seat. I have been to Tonbridge twice in total, and each time I felt that this place was poor in all aspects.

Excellent place. Cheap and cheerful with good food. Ideal for kids.

Oh dear! How standards slip when busy! We arrived and ordered at 8.30pm with some Nepalese friends. A staff member ordered me to put my pizza cutter away, without pausing he added that I'd he sees it again then I will be removed from the pub. I didn't say word and certainly didn't deserve at my old age to be threatened. Moments later, a security guard asked our friends for their identity. Not ours, or anyone else in the pub, as we were obviously English. They were ordered from the pub as their dinner was being readied. I had to plead for a refund. Wetherspoon need to be very, very careful when applying aggressive policies in this way to those of a different race or culture. Not good enough Wetherspoon. N.B I only brought the pizza cutter along as spoons deem incapable of cutting pizza's properly.

Not a very special meal but. Gammon egg and chips at least the eggs and the chips should be hot. And the eggs a bit soft Not BLACK AND BURNT.2 meals arrived and the other 2 took 10 minutes to arrive. Then dessers came but the crumble came with out banana as we asked so will not be returning.

The food was okay, but I'd seen better in the other weatherspoons. It wasn't very clean in the pub, the tables were dirty no one to ask to clean the tables as there was only 2 staff which was behind the bar. Someone did start clearing the tables about 90 minutes later.

I really like coming here to eat and have a few pints. The staff are nice, work hard and are receptive if you need anything. Kid friendly and the other customers, well we just seem to get on well. So definitely family orientated. Prices are very good and will always come back.

Shocking visit today, card machine not working, waiter sweating buckets, another waitier sitting at a table with blood pouring out of his nose just smearing it around, and a waitress that can hardly speak. If you have this lot on the pub floor then I don't want to see the chef. The blood put me off my food.

Not bad, food was OK, you get what you pay for, at the end of the day, it's Wetherspoons!!!!

Mangled pizza.. yayyy.. I'm getting pretty tired of this stupid trend of chefs not bothering to cut a pizza when they serve it, especially when they don't even bother to provide you with a pizza cutter, apparently they don't even have them.

Usual Weatherspoons with nice cheap food. Staff are always friendly, which I find nice considering on the crap wages they get, so be nice when you visit any Weatherspoons.

One of the biggest and best weatherspoons pubs I have ever visited. Large outdoor space as well.

A lovely venue. However, my steak was over seasoned, which spoilt the flavour, and I'm not sure why at one weatherspoons (Maidstone, The Muggleton), a steak meal consists of ; steak , chips & peas. But, the Tonbridge branch offering was just steak & chips! The price is the same at both eateries! Our plates looked pitiful at the Humphrey Bean. Also, I had to remind the waitress that we'd ordered desserts to accompany our fruit bowls! Despite this, the atmosphere and service were pleasant enough to make up for any small indiscretions, and we were even given some local history from a lovely lady on the table opposite ours. We will dine here again. I just wish there was consistency at each Weatherspoons regarding what's on the plate 🍽 in relation to the price!

Got served by manager Chandler who was an absolute delight, brilliant service, will be definitely coming here again and bringing the family !!!! Loved it here xxx

Wetherspoons pub in Tonbridge High St. A large pub with an equally large outside area. Prices are quite keen on many drinks including cocktails Food prices are also reasonable and a soft or alcoholic drink are included the prices for meals with an alcoholic drink are higher than the soft drink option. The pub is suitable for all age groups and good for families,there is a separate menu for kids. Wetherspoons Inns do not have music or entertainment but do have gambling machines. I am unable to comment on the food as I only had a drink. There is paid parking within a few minutes walk.

Visited The Humphrey Bean for breakfast with my son, place is filthy, lots of flies, cold breakfast, hard eggs, one dried up mushroom, black pudding thin and burnt. Not a patch on the Opera House in Tunbridge wells. I won’t be back.

Was lovely service, and the refill coffees are a great idea, as they are nice quick and easy to use.

Was absolutely beautiful service and lovely food.

A really lovely Wetherspoons with attentive staff and gorgeous garden in the summer!

Always a wonderful experience at Tonbridge spoons! The staff are wonderful and the garden is perfect!

Food could have been a lot hoter.

Wouldn't go there if you paid me.

Nice spoons with large outside area. On the high street

Had a small breakfast, was given scrambled eggs instead of fried, and both eggs and beans were cold.

Very reasonable prices and food was pretty good for what you pay. Sat outside inthe garden which was comfortable and nicely laid out. Very cheap prices on beer etc.

It was a shock to find a Wetherspoon pub with a large garden and toilets on the ground floor. Food and drink costs a bit more than most other JDW though.

It's a Wetherspoons. You get what you pay for. The food is average but below average prices. The drinks options are extensive. The outside area needs some thought put into it..it never seems clean and tidy..more.sort of neglected even more.so.ag busy times. Always a bit crowded and chaotic, often without enough staff. Go to Fuggles up the road IMO

Went for breakfast, never again. Ordered large breakfast came out no sausages or mushrooms. Went back came back 5 later cold. Sent it back, came back 30 seconds later just as cold. The coffee machines not working properly coffee was luke warm. Wouldn't go again.

I loved the food, the chicken bites are amazing. The food arrived hot and delicious. The pub manager Bella was warm and welcoming.

A great weekend breakfast for a sensible price!! Sometimes a little slow when it's busy, but always worth a trip!
