The Robin Hood in Tonbridge and Malling - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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. 👍🏻

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

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

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

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.

A really nice location food was good and service great

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice, didn't eat but looked nice as it was being served up.

Simply a fantastic venue. Off the best and track yet only minutes from M2. Rural location. Good food and large selection of beers etc. Best enjoyed outdoors so ideal on a day. Went to #ryanfest yesterday and it was 1st class. Looking forward to going next year!

Lovely food! The pub looks lovely, we were sat in the restaurant although I personally prefer the look of the bar area. Service was impeccable and the staff very friendly. One of the best pubs I found in Medway so far!

Perfect summer watering hole. Huge and lovely garden

I've never been there before, the food was wonderful and the service was friendly and professional, I will definitely be returning

Lovely location to enjoy a family dinner with some lovely walks nearby. The only criticism is that I would replace the chef, Although the food portion is good, it was let down by under cooks items being served. Unlikely I would return because of this

Had a lovely roast! Friendly staff and lots of history...

Hi Janette Just wanted to say thanks for a great lunch today. I came with my mother. I was a bit tearful due to building up the confidence to go out due to cancer. Janette, you were great at making me feel comfortable. I'll be back with my other half soon. Kind regards Kerry

Gorgeous location, historic pub, lovely garden, friendly staff and good food and drinks. What more do you need?!

My favourite pub to go to after a healthy ride on the bike. The bathrooms are always clean and on sunny days there's a possibility to sit down outside. Playground for children and outside tap for dogs. Strongly recommend thick chips as they are delicious.

The minute you walk into this pub you sense its history. Low ceilings, small side room/bar, woodstove, interesting memorabilia and a pretty garden for the summer. Lots of added space for restaurant meals also. Our needs were simple, hot chocolate and warmth after long walk through the beautiful Monks Wood. We received a friendly welcome which is always appreciated. What also is especially appealing about the Robin Hood is its location. Set at the end of a woodland walk, or if driving, off Common road, it's tucked away setting feels restful and secluded. Long may it continue..We will revisit with family. Moving forward from our previous winter visit and review, today we again enjoyed the wonderful Robin Hood Pub. Our order included beer battered cod and chips; batter was done to perfection, crunchy generous sized chips served with a fresh crisp salad. Large portions and importantly cooked to order, so temperature of cod and chips perfect. Guinness & shandy ice cold. Customer service excellent plus a very interesting back story about RH history & about tollgates ( adjacent to RH land) and notoriety for robberies, due to being bordered between two territories of governance (Sherrif of Nottingham and Guthrum, the Danish warlord). Fascinating history.

We had a wake at the pub today and everything went well nothing was to much trouble thank you to all the staff at the pub for making it so special

Went there after cremation perfect site

We went here my mother in laws 60th and was perfect, we had the whole conservatory area reserved for our party which looked out onto a wooded area with a swing to the side for children to play on. The food was amazing and our waiter was brilliant even arranged a lovely birthday desert. We have already recommended this place

My chicken was cold but the food was amazing I understand you was very busy the service was just very slow from having starters to main meal was a very long wait but we did really have a good time

This was a lovely pub, caught it on a quieter day of half term. Walking the North Downs. Nice bit of food and a few beers. Historic pub going way back. Publican was very good and offering to help with the littlest things

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and went for the roast - rude not to! It came out in under 10 minutes and we were hungry so we were very grateful for the speed of service. I wouldn't rave about the roast but it filled a hole and was nice enough. Lovely pub and outdoor areas and the staff were lovely. Perfect spot for a slow Sunday afternoon and a nice walk.

Great pub out in the country good food and hospitality lovely place to chill 😎

We were at a wake, the pub had taken 2 bookings wich made it very busy, the carpark is very small, and not everyone could get in.

Dropped in here after a walk across Bluebell Hill, with friends. It was definitely worth the visit the Goat Curry and rice alone will bring me back, the menu has something tasty to cater for all. Also a nice garden to let the kids loose in as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thank you and see you soon.

Great countryside pub with many public footpaths around. Serves good food & good value for money.

A bit out of the way but it's worth the minimal effort. Plenty of parking for drivers. Very convenient if you have been walking the nearby routes. If you're looking for good pub food, well prepared and served by friendly staff, then The Robin Hood is ideal. I can confirm that the Bangkok Bad Boy burger (v) was de-lish (go for the the chunky chips), as were the Katsui Curry (vg) and cheese ploughman's (v). The 'pie of the day' (chicken, ham & leek) was huge and tasty! I am reliably informed that the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake was also fab-u-lous. Plenty of outside seating as well on decent weather days. Would happily return and happy to recommend. PS: did I mention that the chunky chips were totes de-lish?? 😋😋😋😋

Amazing hidden gem. Love coming here with my dog and friends. Food is outstanding, kids friendly.

We came here for a wake ,and although it was for not the happiest of reasons ,it was such a lovely place that so many of us didn't even know was here , food was lovely , staff were lovely and the outdoors was cute but as weather wasn't great we didn't use it much the inside is small but plenty of seats a ver quaint and beautiful place that so many of us said we would defiantly come back . Thank you so much ❤️

Lovely people, lovely food, indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs and kids welcome

Lovely food and friendly helpful staff

Small pub, food lovely, friendly staff. There is an outside seating area and a car parking area. Country lane leading to it quite narrow. When we visited they had a log fire burning and it smelt quite smoky where we sat to eat inside.
