The Robin Hood in Tonbridge and Malling

Lovely pub in the middle of nowhere, friendly staff with good beer and lovely food. Great to sit in the garden during the summer or to sit in front of the log fire in the winter.

Lovely pub. Middle if nowhere. Very friendly. Very cosy. Worth the walk. Decent prices.

A lovely English pub/ restaurant, if we are ever in the area again we would definitely go again.

Absolutely brilliant evening. 5 of us and dog for a meal. Had to eat in the bar because of having our dog with us, No problem. Bowl of water for the dog first. Food was great. Friendly service. Comfortable, no rush for us to eat and go, stunning location. Will definitely be back.

Proper pub serving proper food, roast dinner was amazing, will definitely return

Very friendly pub with attentive staff. Delicious food that arrived in good time. My husband had the belly pork, which was recommended and was deliciously succulent and crispy. I had the fish and chips, which included a huge piece of fish and tasty mushy peas. The atmosphere was welcoming and itsca beautiful old building. Thank you 😊

Excellent lunch at the Robin Hood. Good atmosphere and Olde World pub.

We had been told about this pub by a family member and how lovely it was. So naturally, we wanted to check it out. If you wasn't looking for it, you could drive past quite easily as it is set back off the road, down what looks like a country lane, almost hidden behind the trees. The pub itself is cosy, staff polite and friendly. We sat by the log burner and had a drink, before deciding to find a table and order some food. I ordered Cod and chips, my partner ordered goat curry. The Cod literally hung over the ends of my plate and the chips were perfect. My partner said he really enjoyed the curry. The bill wasn't expensive either for the quality of the food, just under £80 for two drinks, one starter, two mains and one dessert. I highly recommend a visit to The Robin Hood, we will be going back, that's for sure!

Popped in whilst walking. The lady slotted me in, even though the tables were booked out. Very friendly and stamped my Camino passport. The pub is very cosy.

I used to come here quite often in the early to mid 1980s and came back in 2025. It's got a bit smarter over the years and now does good food as well, but it hasn't fundamentally changed. Good place to come if you're walking along the Downs.

Roaring fire to welcome you in from the cold. Sunday roast and pudding have jumped to the top of our Sunday Roast Club score cards. Best in Medway catchment area, so far.

Lovely pub, roaring fire, delicious beef and Guinness pie and friendly team.

We were so lucky to find this cozy and original pub! We had a lovely late lunch there with our young kids by the fire. We will definitely come back. We visited during winter, but must be lonely to sit outside in the summer time. Our food was tasty and generous portions (I'm always ordering dessert, but had to skip it this time, as I was full) The staff there was very polite, and even took a lovely picture of all of us by the fire. Highly recommend!

What a truly wonderful find nestled in the wooded area. Warm, welcoming with friendly efficient staff. Proper pub food which was absolutely delicious. If I’m in the area again I’ll def be going back. I would advise you book as it was very busy

First time visiting and we will be back. This is a super country pub with a cosy atmosphere, great food and welcoming staff. We had a 2 course meal and a couple of drinks each, which came to a fraction over £60 (including tip) for two of us. The food was freshly cooked and I couldn't fault it. We visited in the winter and sat near the fire place, but theres plenty of outdoor seating for the summer too. The super fluffy, crispy chips are worth a visit alone!!

Friendly and chilled atmosphere with tasty large food dishes and a decent pint in the countryside.

Lovely old worldy pub with welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and fantastic food.

Lovely meal as always, great pub well worth a visit.

Amazing food, always friendly and great to have a lovely fire burning on the cold nights

Delicious, Cosy friendly atmosphere & Gluten free Options!

An unexpected stop off for a drink after a beautiful countryside walk; friendly staff, roaring fire and welcoming ambience 💫

A real big thank you to the staff at the Robin hood for looking after our family after our recent funeral. We couldn't have asked for a friendlier pub to toast the loss of our mum. They opened on a day they were officially closed to accommodate us. The food was amazing and the hospitality was excellent

Went for Sunday lunch, food was well cooked but luke warm. Cualiflower cheese excellent. Staff very attentive. Dinning room very cold. Included over the top service charge.

Very old pub. Real fire and several rooms. Good homely feel

Fantastic pub, staff were outstanding throughout the whole day. Thank you for a great experience and I will see you all again soon.

Beautiful and old, super traditional. Lovely little garden. Food is apparently good but we didn’t eat. Friendly atmosphere.

I went to this lovely pub on Saturday 21st September and don’t usually leave reviews but felt I had to due to a recent negative review left by someone else. I can definitely recommend the burgers which are always very tasty and in my opinion good value for money for what you get. I have never found the food at this location to be salty and visit here a number of times each year as it is quite local to me and have never had a bad meal. I have never felt rushed by any of the staff at any time and they are always very polite and pleasant. I am not affiliated to this pub in any way but have been coming here for a number of years mainly because of the good food they serve. My advice to anyone before complaining on trip advisor would be that if you ever feel you receive a service or meal you are unhappy with at any location then it is always best to mention this to the staff or manager at the location first.

Popped in today for a catch up with family. I ordered a Sunday roast and a pint. Food was good however portion size for the price was a little disappointing. Be aware of a service charge too, that doesn’t appear on your bill. My receipt showed £22.75 but was charged £25.75 cash. The lady on the counter said it was a service charge so that is why the receipt didn’t match what i had paid. Staff friendly. Kid friendly too offering a little outdoor play area. 👍🏻

What a fantastic Pub. Lovely people and the food is delicious. A truly authentic pub. Recommended.

Fantastic place for Sunday roast and really friendly staff will be back

Take a look there during your holidays, it is in a great location, which takes some searching, but what a great atmosphere, quiet music, friendly staff and delicious food, highly recommended.

Came here a few years ago , thought we'd try it again , the menu has a good selection but the food was very average, I had a burger and my partner the steak and we both thought our meals were extremely salty. To be fair we didn't complain at the time which in hindsight we definitely should have, but the pub was starting to get busy and we'd already had a really long wait for my partners pudding (also very mediocre) . Staff friendly enough, if a little rushy to begin with (showed us to our table & asking what drinks we wanted before we were even sat down) I would say definitely not worth the prices they charge , and the service charge is completely unnecessary on an already overpriced menu (for what it is) . We won't return

A really nice location food was good and service great

If you look on the map this looks really close to two major motorways, but you would never know as you approach it down a single-track lane and then sit in the various parts of the garden! A characterful pub with a good menu choice - I had the "Cowboy chilli", which seemed expensive at £16.95 but turned out to be a very generous portion of chilli, rice, jalapenos, tortilla chips and plenty of sour cream, all served separately from each other. I also enjoyed a well kept real ale. Staff were very friendly and efficient. A number of the outdoor tables were taken by people with dogs, and water bowls were available for them. There is plenty of parking. Be warned: most mobile networks have almost no signal here, but fortunately they offer free wifi.

very nice picturesque pub set in beautiful surroundings,will be eating there tomorrow, but the food being served looked very appetising

Very good meal, staff very attentive

Had my mother's wake here yesterday, cannot fault the food, service or staff. Perfection all the way. Thank you for making us feel welcome.

The most amazing pub in Kent :-)

Excellent service, beautiful grounds

We visited today & had a Sunday roast which was absolutely delicious. Friendly staff Lovely Atmosphere We will be back along with our little dog 🐕

Beautiful hidden place with great outdoor space for all sort. Nice big car park and some space for kids to play. Great choice after hiking, walking or cycling to stop by for a pint or a meal

Great pub with lots of outside space and very nice menu.

Landlady is very friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious especially the chips with generous portions . Lovely country pub with nice garden. I’ve lived in the area a long time but have only recently started going there but will definitely visit regularly as it’s so good

Called in for a family lunch and had a great meal. Everything we had was delicious and well presented . The burgers and chilli were homemade and particularly good. Desserts were very tasty too. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food. Would definitely love to go back again.

Wow, first time I have dined here and what a lovely experience. Beautiful settings, friendly staff and I had a Sunday roast and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. I shall certainly be returning in the very near future. 10/10 in all aspects. Well done to you

This place is in the middle of nowhere. The surrounding forest shields this restaurant from sight. In side the Robin Hood is a classic old style pub with good food and the staff are knowledgeable about the menu. It can be loud if your table is situated near the bar. But a good experience nometheless.

We had the chicken wraps for lunch. Tasteless, mostly salad we had to hunt the chicken. Very disappointed not good value for money. Would not have them again. Very nice pub though and good service.

What a little gem. Found it on a cycle ride. Great spot. 👍

We have just had a wake at the Robin Hood Pub for a very dear friend of ours. The handling of the whole event was amazing, they went out of their way to accommodate us, even though they had other events on and the food was excellent, just what we wanted. We were only a small group but as much effort was put into making sure we were ok as the with the larger group. I have only just rediscovered this Pub and I will definitely be stopping by much more. Thank you to all of you

Just wanted to thank all the staff for your lovely food today and service, for me and family after our mum's funeral today. Food was lovely and presented well,plenty if choice for a buffet and well worth it. Thank you again.. Kind regards Sue Goudie..

Really nice pub with great food. Recommended!

Excellent pub with very friendly staff serving a great selection of good beers

Unbelievably slow service, so slow in fact, that after 15 mins of standing at the bar we walked out. Will not return.

And out of the way pub follow the signs. I would say it's more of your local type pub. The food was average and the service was a very trying. After 40 minutes they come out and said that they had forgotten our order....quite disappointed ☹️

There for a special accession. Food laid on was very good

fantastic hidden gem. We love coming back with friends to enjoy a relaxing meal away from usual fast paced life. This place really makes you feel you're taken away from it all. River bar man is amazing, attentive, interactive when needed but also caring which isn't often a quality we've found across restaurants we've been. We loved hearing about him and this is everything that this place emits. A world gone by but this pub takes you back to what life really meant in a time ago. Food was really nice say for couple of missing ingredients in quality but that won't distract this review. It's a great place and much recommended. Thank you!

Great pub with plenty of parking and right on the North Downs Way. It gets busy on weekends, especially Sunday for Roast meals. There is ample seating outside. The real ale selection wasn't great when we visited (London Pride) but they had plenty of keg lagers, nothing spectacular however. Service was friendly and quick. Group of old fat gents at the bar made it slightly unwelcoming but weren't too obnoxious. A great pub for Sunday lunch and exploring the North Downs from.

Just popped in for a drink after a walk glass of wine and a bowl of chunky cheesy chips was really good ….love the food in here always cooked fresh the Roast is good also .. it’s a hidden little place off the beaten track .. (especially if you fancy a top Roast) , we have had a couple of wakes in here as right near the crematorium.. don’t think a lot of people know about this …would highly personally recommend.. very lovely staff sensitive to what you need on a somber occasion.. and another thing you don’t need to think about on the day …..

Lovely family meal for aunties 60th Birthday. Food was so tasty and portions were huge! Staff were friendly and accommodating. Definitely be visiting again

Foods amazing and really nice place

Always great straight-forward pub food with friendly and helpful staff

I attended a Celebration of life. Staff were friendly helpful kind and considerate to our needs.

Me and my parents wanted a nice pub for some lunch. I had seen this pub recommended alot so I decided to book a table. First impression pub looked lovely, large parking area, really nice garden with outdoor seating. When I walked in I was greeted by a polite gentleman who came over to our table and asked if I would like a drink. There was a good selection of food choice on the menu, I choose the chicken wrap and a side of fries, my mum and brother had the Hunters Chicken and my dad also chose a wrap with some chips. Food came quickly and hot. Everyone commented on how large the meals were and all of us really enjoyed the food, apart from one small thing, the chips were far too salty(even for me lol). This didnt ruin our experience here, as it is a really friendly, welcoming and lovely pub. I will definitely come back and visit again.

We ate at this pub last night as an early Mothers day treat for my mum. We had an excellent evening & the food was really good & very tasty, especially the pasta! Compliments to the chef! The service was super friendly & helpful. We would highly recommend this pub.

Excellent food. Party of 6 diners, two had pork belly, two linguine, two burgers. The pork was superb: crispy crackling, loads of meat, fluffy mash, red cabbage and gravy. A word of caution, make sure not to miss the right turn to the pub, off the access road! Easily done in the dark.

Lovely countryside location but we were so delightfully surprised by how brilliant the food was! They put up a table for 9 last minute, the staff made us feel at home and welcome, the food was delicious. Not one of us was disappointed with the portion size or quality, even with the extensive variety available on the menu. We will be back - thank you!

Excellent little pub. Haven't a negative word to say. Staff are amazing. So friendly and accommodating. Toilets are spotless. Gardens are lovely and so peaceful.

Food good we were a party of 12 service was good 👍

Nice cosy stop on our cycle ride. Dogs are welcome in the smaller bar.

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the burger 😋 and delicious beer

Imagine a place where you visit for the first time and from “Welcome” to “Thank you” you feel a comforting feeling of an extension your family dinning room. David is energetic, his team excellency in customer service. Their menu just gorgeous, well served as you can see from pictures. I highly recommend you visit It and get your conclusions.

Real pub feel! Cosy fireplace, great atmosphere and tasty food!!

Sunday roasts are lovely, very generous portions. It very nearly beat me. Will definitely use again.

Beautiful log fire and excellent ale ( London Pride)

Great atmosphere service excellent Food delicious, generous and well priced

A great find off the beaten track, it had a great feel to it with and the open fire made it cosy. The food was really good and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

Excellent food and service. Great place with garden in summer and warm cosy interior in winter.

Lovely pub, very tasty pie and good service.

Large, varied menu at reasonable prices. Generous servings, well cooked and great service. Friendly, cosy atmosphere and a real fire in the winter. Big garden with plenty of tables in the summer. Plenty of parking. Always an enjoyable visit and no hesitation in recommending.

Great pub great location, always a warm welcome, superb

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and lovely food.

David and his team were very attentive throughout our meal, special mention to the chef, excellent food and plenty of it. Would thoroughly recommend, lovely cosy pub with open fire.

Nice pub in lovely setting. Food is brilliant and staff are really friendly, came on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy, very cosy pub, tried one of the new smash burgers, one of the best burgers I've had!

Went yesterday had Christmas Dinner it was a great meal . Had a great time . Been there many times . It’s a great place for food and drinks would recommend it to anyone

The BEST pub in Kent regards NT

First time here, and it was excellent. Welcoming staff and a roaring log fire. The food quality was excellent.

Love this pub. Decor is a bit dated but the staff are always cheerful and polite and the food is decent and plentiful. Good outdoor space as well.

Great traditional country pub with an awesome fire/log burner and friendly staff.

Great little pub if you know where it is. I have not eaten in here for years but what was being served looked great.

A little hide away that has a lovely outside are,paved over with plenty of seating and a play area for kids. There is also a coveted outside area with 4 or 5 tables. There is a decent sized free car park. The pub itself is an old style building with low ceilings giving it a cosy feel. They offer food which is pretty standard pub fayre but what I saw come out looked good and portion sizes were good too. Outside is dog friendly which is great as the pub is situated on the North Downs Way so there are dog walkers as well as cyclists too. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays

Super cute hidden pub off the beaten track. Lovely garden which oozes character and charm. Wish we had discovered it at the start of summer, but we will be sure to visit again soon! Inside looks small so probably would advise booking in the winter months.

Fantastic dog friendly restaurant

Cozy environment & friendly staff

What a shame. The Robin Hood pub has become the Robbing Hood! A once beautiful spot is now rapidly going down hill. I would advise people to not eat here at all cost! The food is dreadful and extremely overpriced! Parts of the garden are overgrown with a kids seesaw rotting and unsafe! It's a matter of time before a child is injured! The current owners should be ashamed with what this once beautiful pub has become! We ordered a burger and chips and what was described on the menu as prawn cocktail. Both dishes were dreadful. Food not even fit for a dog is no exaggeration. As if that wasn't bad enough we walked into the garden for our son to play and a waitress flew out the door after us demanding payment for the food which was on a tab! We were suddenly treated as if we were going to do a runner which was very bizarre and is probably an indication of many people not paying for their extremely awful food! All in all if you enjoy raw burgers and fancy remortgaging your house in order to afford a prawn cocktail with no sauce and a couple of bits of lettuce whilst putting your kids on danger with dangerous rotting hazards then this is the place for you! Oh and the beer is also stale too!

We sadly needed to hold a wake after a service at a nearby crematorium. From the first point of contact to the wake the team were professional, sympathetic and unobtrusive. The buffet was good value and not short even if the chicken pieces disappeared the fasted. Maybe a few more of those another time. A good range of snacks and sandwiches followed by a very nice chocolate cake made by the venue. Thanks to all the team, much appreciated by the family. Regards Stephen

Really lovely pub and food great location miles from anywhere.

Love this Pub. Stands alone nearby to shady woodland footpaths and Sunny banks with wonderful views. Very old building, with cosy bars and plenty of outside seating. Great "pop in" whilst out walking. Or drive to for great food. Just stopped by for snacks and refreshments this visit.

Great place with tremendous food ,good ambience, lovely place

The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. It's always worth making the journey here, set in a peaceful corner of the countryside, Dogs are welcome in the rear bar area, and it has a large garden.

Nice restful pint deep in the countryside.
