The Two Brewers in Tonbridge and Malling

When this first started I went with friends and it was great. Went again on Friday it was a real disappointment. Too much batter, very little fish and both over cooked. Such a shame - sadly won’t be risking it again.

This pub has a new landlord (well a returning landlord) The pub is clean, welcoming with great beers and has a nice family atmosphere. The stand out for me though is their excellent food. They have started doing fish and chip Friday and Steak Wednesday. They are reasonable in price and extremely good. They put surrounding pubs to shame. You won’t be disappointed

Visited here last night and decided to have something to eat. Tgey normally just do fish and chips on a Friday but they had a special on Steak for £16.50 soI had the steak and wifey had the fish and chips at £12.50. Both were great. My steak was perfectly cooked and the fish was enormous. The Beer batter was light and delicious. Recommended but best to book.

Arrived to the newly managed pub and was met by Tim the friendly smiley landlord. Went as a group of 6. This is the second week of going for a steak. The first time was blown away by the steak which was made to perfection for us all. On the second visit it was the same "outstanding". This pub and its staff so welcoming and the food amazingly tasty. What a difference to the previous landlords dingy offerings. Keep it up Tim and staff you're doing your village a great service. Much better than the frozen rubbish from other pubs in the village too. It's a 5 star from me and I'll most definately be back for more of the same.....

Thoroughly enjoyed the fish n chips and the steak I had the following visit. Steak was soo juicy and the fish perfectly cooked. Definitely will go to this pub again. Clean, friendly and a great atmosphere.

Well returned after being closed went in on Sunday four adults asked for food and was offered roasts, Pork, Beef, Chicken, Lamb. We were seated in the garden patio where well kept garden and lawns, we did not book had the Harveys best and the Camden Ale great well kept ale and nice to see a lot of choice in beers. The food arrived and the portions were very generous and ample all fresh no frozen factory food here the service was good and table service was offered for more drinks and finished off with Hot sticky pudding and home made apple pie and custard. The interior was spotless and clean and antibac bottles on most tables and entrances and noticed staff cleaned tables as people vacated. A typical nice local pub with nice friendly staff support your local these pubs are hard to replace.

Almost was grunted at by the woman behind the bar when we arrived mid to late afternoon, in a dark and dingy pub, thought we would sit outside, the seat materials were filthy, stained and shabby, will never return to this dive with the oh so uninterested bar person

Visited this pub recently after covid restrictions had been lifted. Sat in the garden and was surprised how dirty and grimey the furniture was. Even more disappointing was the dried dog excrement (waste) on the grass by our table. The ashtrays and furniture were covered in cobwebs. Our bill arrived 2 drinks, 1 pint of beer and half a pint of cider. £8.60 ! The cashier could not work out the price of the drinks, nor was the chip and pin machine working. I questioned the bill and the cashier said "just call it £7 cash" It's a real shame as Hadlow is such a nice village having come from the City, and a real shame places like this exist, that have no pride. Will not be returning.

LOCATION-Nice location in the middle of the village-with good parking nearby STAFF-During our visit the staff could not have been more helpful and supportive they were a real joy FOOD-my wife and I had lunch here and we were delighted by quality of food which they cook fresh to order. Which although it takes a little bit longer is really worth the wait. ATMOSPHERE -lovely friendly cosy atmosphere PRICE/VALUE-both food and drinks are very well priced WIFI-good-quality Wi-Fi

Due to the restrictions the pub is offering a Thai take away where the menu can be seen on Facebook page, they will be starting a delivery service with a english menu to use as well. Alcohol is available for take away with food and for delivery with Sunday Roasts to be collected or delivered on china plates wrapped in foil for freshness.

They need to pay their BT Bill. Even called in advance. Paid for a taxi with my eldest boy. “Err.. the Sky box don’t work” Say goodbye (again)

With its old association to hops and brewing you could assume Hadlow would have a great pub. Instead it has the Two Brewers. In the four years I’ve been in the village, I’ve seen the place run by new people each year, with no further investment from Harvey’s it would seem (other than the recent turquoise signage). I really want to see the Brewers do well, I want to visit a lot more than I do, but it always ends in disappointment. I was looking forward to my most recent visit, it was a sunny evening, pubs had just opened again post Covid lockdown and it had been a while since I’d sat in a pub garden with my wife. The garden was really tatty which I found quite surprising, but nothing compared to finding out that minimum spend on contactless card payment is £10, really? When contactless is the preferred method everywhere. Thankfully I had a fiver in my wallet which afforded us two tired tasting halves of Harvey’s. I will leave it a while before heading back again. If at all.

After coming to this establishment almost every Friday to have a pint and a chat with my colleagues(working at a finance company 5 minutes walk away), I was quite shocked today to be shouted at by the Barmaid/Landlady (unsure which applies) for opening a sandwich from the local shop. Please bear in mind we have done so almost every Friday for the last 3 months, at no point had this ever been mentioned as an issue, we had even put our lunch on the bar whilst paying for our drinks where the barman did not mention anything of the like. We have also asked about buying lunch from the pub before, but were advised they don't serve lunch.

This is a very nice traditional pub, new people taken over and brought it back to a pub with home made food, it has had a make over with soft furnishings and beer served from the cask at back of the bar, beer garden, dog friendly and events. Had Sunday lunch and very good portions and some music in the afternoon to top it off. Four real ales and selection of lagers and choice of wines with bar nibbles on the bar.

The food was tasty and good value and the pub has a nice atmosphere, clean and friendly service. There is also a big TV but we were not so interested in the rugby and it was not obtrusive. Would recommend

Such a lovely pub. Great atmosphere, friendly bar staff. TV, pool table and a car park! had a lovely time.

We had the light breakfast which was lovely good price. The beef stew was nice but was mainly meat not much else in it. I was told a selection of veg would be with it and only peas. Small size too. They had no kids menu available as they did t have anything thing for and I was told that we could have anything of the main menu for smaller cost. No jackets available so my 2 year old had a tuna sandwich with a tiny side of chips which was extra and I was charged more then the cost of a sand which itself. They charged me the price of a kids meal at £4.95 and the sandwich was cheaper. Nice staff and friendly atmosphere I just wouldn’t recommend eating there as it’s very pricey for what you get.

Called in here ‘and hoc’ for a a few drinks before going off to find an Indian restaurant for a curry. Despite not serving food on a Monday night the landlady, Nicky overheard us talking about a curry and she volunteered to go and prepare the most amazing beef curry ever! They took over the pub in July 17 I believe so reviews prior to that should be disregarded but these guys are really good at what they do. It is a very family orientated establishment and the owners Mum, children and dogs were in the bar but they were not intrusive in the least and understood customers space but if you wanted to chat, as we did, we were made most welcome.Got to say a big thumbs up for the food which I believe is going to be a lot of South African cuisine on the menu as this is where the owners used to live. Please give it a go and support your local!!

Three of us had ate in there over the past weekend and found the place very welcoming and good value for money. The food menu is well priced and the drinks very reasonable.

We had this as a starter today and it was simply divine! I shall go again, again and again to this lovely pub. The landlords and all staff are fabulous and my dog was also made to feel so welcome as the landlord keeps dog treats behind the bar for all 4 legged visitors. It's a must visit place as you will not be disappointed

We were looking for a pub to go for dinner and we chose this because of the Harvey's beer. It's a real find. Lovely atmosphere and the food was amazing. Welcoming, nicely lit, friendly staff, pool table, good choice on the menu and all three meals were very good. I'd particularly recommend the steak and ale pie. Will definitely be back with the rest of the family.

We had a little family reunion here for my uncles 96 birthday and the pub kindly bought a desert for him free when we forgot the birthday cake. Although I never ate there my cousin had a hearty roast dinner that she thoroughly enjoyed at a reasonable price. Its a large well decorated establishment with a modern feel to it even tho its quite an old pub. The outside area is welcoming for owners with dogs and I think you can take your dog inside too.

New management in this friendly family Pub serving honest well cooked food. Plenty of eating areas and the Landlord gave myself and son a complimentary whisky as we were celebrating my upcoming 60th going to the BSB at Brands Hatch. Thank you very much for the lift back to the unremarkable Hotel. Just try and give a few constructive observations. We are dog lovers but a dog wandering under your feet while eating may not be to everyone's taste. At £6.95 for desserts you are going to struggle to sell them in a family Pub. All the best.

Well if Hadlow Manor was a low light, the Two Brewers was the highlight.

Came back after the recent good food reviews. Decent selection of harveys ales all decently priced. Food menu was nothing spectacular with steaks, burgers, chicken, salads, sandwiches, pie, gammon etc. Basically typical pub food. Steak and fish and chips were both excellent. Decent portions too. Friendly pub. Only 5min drive for us so will be our new food and ale local. Well done new management.

Went back into this place last night for a meal with family .. what a surprise, got a top chief, the food was fantastic , best meal We have had for a long time , great service . We had two steaks meals and a bottle of wine for £32 .. well done

Came here for a weekday pub lunch after visiting Hadlow Tower. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and the portions were large. We were really happy we'd chosen this place. The prices were good too. We live in London and were only visiting Kent, but if we come back, we would certainly eat in The Two Brewers again. A good hearty meal!

My boyfriend and I came to this pub while we were staying in Hadlow. The young guy behind the bar was very friendly and helpful. The owners daughter chatted to us in the garden and we played with their two dogs which were both such lovely dogs. Would definitely go again! Made a good memory for our trip!

Under new management, the landlady was working in the kitchen, what a fabulous job she did, steak pie to die for and probably one of the best burgers around.A great selection of local beer, at good prices.This is a family / dog friendly pub with a great new owner, I couldn't recommend it enough.

I had a wonderful experience here. The service was fast and efficient. Great beer, great food and an amazing atmosphere. Definitely will be back!

Absolutely no atmosphere owners kids and dogs running around!! one dog had dirty blood stained bandages the other dog barked at us as we went into the pub our meal was awful!! and was served to us by a child whilst an older child gave us cutlery with dirty fingers and hands!! This is supposed to be a pub not the owners front room!!! No wonder the place was empty we will not be going back!

We was not impressed by what appeared to be the land lady of the pub, i was not offered wine list, and nor did i see any where around the pub ie on tables or the bar as normally displayed in pubs etc. When i was what the choice of wines was, she was sharp and sarcastic. The pub including us two only had 4 or 5 other people in it at the time and it was just after 8, when u do expect it to be busy.

One of the few pubs in Kent owned by renowned Sussex brewers Harvey's of Lewes. Their beers are outstanding. Try the delicious mild ale or Hadlow bitter (brewed with locally grown hops). Pub is spacious and traditionally furnished. Food available at certain times (not Sunday lunchtime when I was there)

Went here today with a colleague for a lunchtime drink and pretty much came out skint. One pint of ale, a bottle of 500ml cider and a bag of mini cheddars £11:80!! Sure the barman was on the rob! Will defo not be returning.

This Pub does a friday night special of 2 steak meals and a bottle of wine for £30. We tried it and found the quality superb I asked for a steak knife but found I didn't need one. The service and atmosphere were good as well.

Sunday lunch with a good choice of eats. Spacious bar, eating area and garden. Eating a main meal later, husband and I didn't want a large meal. Decided on a ploughman's each. Delicious but was still a bit filling and I wish I'd enquired more about sandwiches. Our friends both had the roast chicken. Spuds rather cold but the staff were great about bringing out some hotter ones.

lovely people in a trad pub, lovely selection of beers, excellent value for money food, pool table and darts board

A friend and I chanced on the Two Brewers at the end of a long, hot, summer Friday afternoon walk around Oxen Hoath. Lucky us. It was just what we needed. Lovely building, fine garden, excellent drinks, top bar snacks, and very friendly and likeable landlords who have recently taken over, and I imagine given the place a fantastic new life. (It seems some not so positive reviews relate to the previous landlords). I'll definitely be back...

We have had two very good meals here but recently have twice been very let down. One Monday when the sign outside said "Food served today" having already ordered our drinks we were then told they do not serve food on a Monday. Today the same board was outside and when going in for lunch we were told they hadn't got a chef so no food today. Being Polling Day the village was busy and to have a sign up advertising food but not having any seemed extremely short sighted. Will ring next time before setting off.

You can have a good pub meal here for a reasonable price. The lady owner is very friendly and welcoming. We listened to a group they'd brought in last night, On Edge, who were excellent. There's limited parking out the back and a small garden.

A friend and I came here for fish and chips on a Friday night, as well as a few pints of Hadlow bitter which always go down a treat. Fish is good, as are the chips and staff are friendly as well.

Just popped in as was passing. Food first rate all home made. Good menu, wine list and fine ales. Very friendly pub

We ate at the Two Brewers as part of a large party to celebrate Christmas. The meal was pricey and the portion-size bordered on mean. Several parties were taking place at the same time and the seating arrangements were uncomfortably tight. Mass catering, especially at Christmas is always a bit hit and miss and rarely value for money so when we were invited to try this pub again recently we thought we'd give it another go.Sadly, the prices are still too high, portion sizes still too small and the food is still ordinary and unexciting.

We called in for lunch after a walk around Hadlow village and were very glad we did. The pub serves real ales and we chose the Hadlow ale made from local hops. The lunch menu had the sort of traditional dishes that I like to see in a pub - fish and chips, ploughman's, soup, etc and our choice - pies. And what pies they were! Steak and ale pie with chips for one of us and game pie with mash for the other. Absolutely delicious. I particularly liked the unusual mushrooms in the pies and the side gravy flavoured with rosemary. Friendly efficient service. We'll be back again soon.

This is a regular family run pub and eatery, not many left now. My family, friends and I come here regularly and have had lunches, dinners and family parties here. Sunday carvery offered us a variety of meats last Sunday, including venison and a chocolate brownie to die for, for pudding. Plenty of perfectly cooked veg and huge Yorkshire puds. Don't know how the roasts were done but they were exceptional and so lovely and peppery. Beer is local and Harvey's of Lewes, plus at the mo' you can buy Christmas beers. Table wine decent and very reasonable plus a bottle of prossecco not dear either for party nights!Really recommend this pub, with its pensioner meals at a special price, Friday night fish and chips and ploughman's lunches, among other foods and specials. New chef really good, friendly and reliable.Lovely local atmosphere and a fabulous garden in the summer, well kept and pretty, so full of flowers when the garden is open.This pub is dog friendly :)

Just been to the two Brewers for lunch, I had the sausage and mash with onion gravey. I was full of flavour and the chefs Ed and his assistant (Aden)was so friendly in the beer garden, neither of them minded talking to me and seemed like they made a good team who enjoy what they do. Thank you so much!!!

Impromptu stop for a drink at lunchtime, spotted they had a carvery, tried it, found it to be good quantity, vegetables cooked to order, hot and good value.

Food was good but portions too small for the price,Had drinks here first before checking into our accommodation elsewhere,thought it was friendly so comeback for food.

The service was excellent the staff were attentive, polite and they smiled and joked with our party of 6. We struck up a conversation with a party on the table next to us. This in itself is a rarity they were locals who made us feel very welcome. On our first visit we had 4 hungry teenagers and what they ordered filled them up!!!!!!! what an achievement, great value. We have since visited for Sunday lunch, which again was fantastic value with great food. Having read other reviews it is a Pub with a restaurant that serves traditional Pub Grub. Establishments like this are so hard to find and it is refreshing that they are still out there. They have a fantastic selection of quality Beers and wines, the whole restaurant and bar is overseen by an old fashioned landlord and his staff. Long live the traditional Pub. We all should support them when they are gone, all we are left with is a Wetherspoons or no local Pub at all. We will be going back again and again,

We had a lovely meal there. A huge plate full of fried cod and chips, and a decent pint of Harveys Best.Although benefiting (unfortunately) from the closure of 2 nearby pubs, the pub was very quiet on the Thursday evening we were there.Very friendly service.

Bit scruffy inside but staff friendly and food good. Not the easiest place to park. Lacked atmosphere, we wouldn't rush back.

A group of us got together a team and headed off down to The Two Brewers in Hadlow after seeing it advertised on one of their boards outside whilst driving past. It is hard not to notice this pub with its very nice newly decorated exterior!! We phoned and pre-booked a table and arrived about an hour before the quiz was due to start. It all seemed very well organised and we soon started to enjoy the fantastic atmosphere. There were six of us in our team and although non of us really wanted to order a full three course meal we asked a selection of the starters and a couple of side dishes which the Landlord was more than happy to oblige. Although the pub was very busy with eaters, drinkers and quizers alike the service was great and the food excellent. The whole night was a great success and we are all looking forward to the next one!

We had an evening meal here, the food was a good standard of pub grub, decently priced, generous portions. What really stood out was the service, which was excellent. Friendly, efficient, just about perfect. At one point my father dropped his knife on the floor, someone appears with a clean one before he could even pick it up. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming whether you're just popping in for a drink or going for a meal.

Stopped by for lunch, I had their white bait starter that was good although the salad that came with it could have been much fresher. I then had the battered cod as the main, it was fairly good. Service is friendly and good. Not many places to eat in Hadlow, will probably visit again next time.

It was no better than OK.Does not appear to do a great lunch trade.Typical pub grub on a limited menu, though the range of beers was quite good.Several tables available all in a large open space with a long bar.Service was from the bar staff.The pub has gone through many phases since I first knew it in the 60's.It is clean and tidy and was convenient for where we were staying, the food was adequate and reasonably priced.

Lovely food at reasonable prices, we had the Mediterranean pie and mince and onion pie it came with potatoes but all other vegetables were £2 extra.We had a deal in that the pies came with a pint of beer included in the price.Nice atmosphere friendly staff.

Went twice first time excellent, second extremely poor. Consecutive days. Difficult to comprehend. The second visit was for their Friday special, Fish and Chips for two @ £25 inc. bottle of house wine. If it was Catch of the Day we were the ones caught. To be fair they did apologise.

Came fogetting they had a carvery. Well worth. 9.95 for mix of carvery meat, good yorkshire puds, roast potatoes and freshly cooked mix of vegatables. Quick friendly service with good harveys ale as well.

Great pub with a good friendly atmosphere, fantastic selection of quality Beers, attentive staff overseen by professional landlord. Proper English pub how they used to be.....and should be!! Well worth a visit!

We went for lunch on a Tuesday with friends. Arrived just before 12 noon. Pub was closed. Opens at 12. The beer was very good, a super bitter. The meal was average. The ham egg and chips were not good the eggs was burnt underneath?? Thats difficult to do. I think about three other couples were eating. We ordered first or second and were served last. The young lady behind the bar who also served was very very good, easy to talk to and a credit to whoever owns this pub. Due to the fact of our long wait she only charged us for three meals. She said it was the chefs day off and they had a young chef, I suspect just out of training school. He or she still has a lot to learn. So I suggest don't let my report stop you going, just avoid Tuesday lunch time.

Standard pub grub , alright but soon forgotten. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Very quite in the week. When we went there was only 3 other people in there. The service was a bit slow considering it was so quite.

I have visited this pub a few times since moving to the area. The owners are really friendly and the pub has a warm welcoming feeling about it. Both my husband and I were really impressed with the standard of the food too, plus they serve up until 9pm (which is great for a village pub). I can highly recommend eating or drinking here.

Booked in for a meal on 15 August there was eight of us very good value for money. a very good family pub. Food was very good as was the drinks. Need to book at weekend as it is very popular Would recommend to any anyone.'

Would recommend this pub to anyone ! they have different specials on every night and do fish and chips for two with a bottle of wine for £20 on a Friday. Staff were friendly and atmosphere was pleasant.

Traditional pub. Lovely curry night on a Thursday as sampled tonight. 2 currys a bottle of wine and starter with naan bread for £20 can't be beaten. Beer kept brilliantly and a lovely family atmosphere

really nice meal for 4. Tasty and freshly prepared , good value for money a really lovely night thanks to all the staff.

I have visited the Two Brewers a few times, each time I have been greeted by friendly staff who ave been extremely helpful. I have eaten here and the food is delicious, a good choice and we were all really pleased with our meals. Some great theme nights, I will definitely be returning, keep up the good work!

I've been here a few times and every time has always been a delight. From the vibrant atmosphere to the great quality food and hospitable welcome from the landlord, this is a great place to be. The wine is a good quality for the price, the food is delicious and competitively priced. If you are in the area, definitely drop in!

Lovely food, reasonably priced, service excellent. Extremely friendly pub. Would recommend to anyone in this area. Went back following day for a function and it was still excellent.

Great, faultless serviceBrilliant 5* food Atmosphere a little bold immediately but soon becomes enjoyable and comfortableDefenitely my faviroute restrauntIn all England

Dined at the Two Brewers this evening on a Groupon Deal. On entering the pub we were given a friendly welcome and ordered our drinks from a very pleasant lady, the Italian Pinot was very nice and my husbands pint was good also. We chose the prawn starter which was served freshly cooked on a bed of salad leaves with a spicy sauce, we both enjoyed this and had high hopes for our main course. We were to be very disappointed, I ordered the slow roasted pork belly and my husband ordered the steak. The pork belly arrived and looked good until you tried to cut it either through the crackling or from the underneath it was so tough you could have probably soled your shoes with it! there was no way this was slow roasted, it was as if it had just been put into a very hot oven as soon as the waitress had taken my order, it was totally inedible. The waitress asked if everything was ok and I explained the pork was very tough, she asked would I like to use a steak knife!! I refused and just ate the vegetables which were ok, but I would mention the gravy was no jus it was made up gravy granules! My husbands steak was a good size and was edible but I am suspicious that it is 21 days matured, the chips were cheap frozen ones and the peas were like bullets. I purchased the groupon voucher to try this pub/restaurant as its only about half an hour from where I live, I did not pay a lot of money for it, but it reinforces my view that you get what you pay for. Had I paid £5,95 each for the starter and £13.50 for the steak and £10 approx for the pork this would have amounted to robbery, no way were these meals worth that. Outside the board states award winning chef I don't think so!. This is really a pub, and it should stick to its strength of being a friendly boozer a gourmet restaurant or a good pub restaurant it is not.

Went to the Two Brewers tonight the food was fantastic, the staff was very pleasent, it was though a Groupon Voucher, would definately recommended to any one that wants to try it, would go back,

Went to the two brewers on a Group on deal and must say that the meal was one of the best I have ever had. There were four of us in our party, and having had a very friendly welcome we were asked if we would like to eat in the garden as the weather was so good. We took up the offer and soon our starters of soup,chorizo and mackerel were with us. Mains were steak &beer pie,beefburger and chicken fillet burger,followed by three different sweets. All of the meals were exquisitely exacuted and service was extremely good and friendly. A great find and will definitely recommend the two brewers to anyone.

i think they have a new chef. the food was great. especially the mussels which were perfect. the service was superb and and there was a beer garden out the back with loads of flowers in in it. we had a really nice sunday dinner here. well worth a visit. good local beers too

Its not rocket science!! With many pubs trying to re-invent the wheel when it comes to hospitality with numerous imported beers and wines costing the earth and meals that require a waiter/waitress with a language degree to explain the menu, it is refreshing to find this local pub serving well kept local beers and ales along side great quality well cooked pub food. No crisp white linen here but just good food well priced served on time and hot. What else does the dinner want from their meal???? Well if its a nice greeting and friendly staff then look no further! In these risky economic times more pubs should take a leaf out of this young couples book..........keep it simple, keep it affordable and they will come in their droves. The Two Brewers takes you back to the days of the good old local. The menu is simple but extensive with all the usual favourites priced from around £6 - £14 for a main course and special offers including two steak meals and a bottle of wine for £25 and two courses for £12.95 you simply cannot go wrong here. We like it so much we have visited twice in the last month.

On Friday I went to a London restaurant which had appalling reviews from Groupon users who had been treated poorly with substandard food, because they were using a Groupon voucher. That made me a bit nervous about redeeming our voucher the following day. What a completely different experience. My husband and I took my parents as an anniversary treat and what a treat it was. We had 3 different starters between the 4 of us. The king prawns, the mushrooms and the chorizo. They were all so delicious (not that there was any sharing, it was too good to share). For mains, my parents had the steaks and my husband and I have the steak pie. I have never had such a huge portion of pie which was chock full of steak. It was so filling (but not heavy to the point where you end up feeling ill) and the chips and vegetables were also prepared really well. My parents really enjoyed their steaks too. The lady who served us was really polite and welcoming, we got no different treatment as we had a voucher. All the staff were really nice actually and as a result I made everyone have desert (also half the price of other establishments) and we spent plenty at the bar because we wanted to. I would definitely come back as they prices are good, the food excellent and the experience enjoyable.

Used our Groupon voucher on our first visit to Two Brewers at lunchtime today, and after reading some of the previous reviews, we wondered what their problem was. This is a well run, clean, friendly pub doing excellent food and providing good service. My husband had chicken and chorizo skewer and I had tiger prawns in filo pastry starters which were delicious. Main courses were an amazing large, well cooked rump steak with trimmings and a scrummy steak and ale pie with vegetables. Portions were generous. The pub garden is delightful on a sunny day and the young couple running the pub are charming, eager to please and deserve to succeed. We will be back!

I went to this pub with my husband and parents after buying a deal on Groupon. We received a warm welcome from the staff, who were friendly, polite and attentive. This was probably the only part of the pub that was any good.The food was to be desired. The chips were like other reviews say, cheap frozen oven chips and the steak was not like a steak as you would expect, rather a thin slice of rump, which was well done as opposed to medium that was asked for. It all seemed rather cheap and definitely not worth the values the menu said each dish was worth.The desserts were not homemade, but the sort you would buy in the freezer department at any local supermarket. My mums lemon meringue pie was still frozen and solid in the middle and the rest was just cheap quality. I will not be returning to this pub. It wasn't even worth the money spent on the Groupon deal. The decor needs an update, the walls a lick of paint. To end on a positive note, the staff were friendly, polite and happy to help and the garden seemed nice!

Came in dinner with three friends! Lovely food and great atmosphere! All enjoyed our meals very much, I had the fish and chips, large portions and very tasty! Landlord and lady very welcoming, will def be coming back!

We went on a Sunday at 3pm and the initial welcome was a little slow, but we decided that particular member of staff was new as from thereafter service was friendly and good.We asked to move from our booked table into the garden as it was such a lovely day, this was handled perfectly.The pub garden is small and also the smoking area but is a lovely sun trap, the pub itself is fine, the food is good and home cooked, high quality, freshly prepared and all requests adhered to. The only hint I would give is go a little earlier on a Sunday as by 4pm they had started to run out lf some items on the menu. We had steaks and they were wonderful, all cooked to each persons taste and of good size.We saw other peoples food and it all looked wonderful, in fact we would like to go back to try the burgers our neighbour had.Do check your bill though, it was an honest mistake Im sure but we were charged for drinks we didnt have and sadly didnt notice till we checked the bill later. Too late to go back.

I recently took my family here, we had a pleasant evening. The sarter of tempura prawns very good. Main of steak was good and they did everything we asked, even to my Dad's fussy standards! Pudding wasnt the best of quality but reasonable. Overall very nice pub, with very friendly staff, a relaxed feel and a good decor.

As previous reviewer said, staff were friendly and drinks a good price. However the food was dreadful. My starter garlic mushrooms on toast (soggy bread) was edible!We had a groupon voucher, and the main selling point was the *Matured for 21 days 8oz rump steak* unfortunately they had no rump steak, so we ordered the alternative steak (I think it was Rib eye) When our meals arrived, the (frozen) chips were not cooked, the waitress took our meal away, after a couple of minutes she brought our plates back (minus the chips) as they did not want our steak to spoil!! The steaks were almost inedible, fatty and chewy. The chips returned (maybe the same ones?) they were dry and lifeless.Needless to say we complained., the waitress was very apologetic. The landlady said she would be speaking to her butcher.My husband was given a complimentary pudding, he chose bread and butter pudding with custard, it seemed to have been heated in a microwave, and was extremely tough and unrecognisable as a bread and butter pudding. , In all, a very unpleasant evening.

Bar lady nice, friendly and polite. Drinks a good price. Unfortunately that's the only positives I can state. Didn't have the starter or mains we wanted so had to choose again (not a big problem) but food served was not good and waitressing poor. Also lacking in ambience. Don't recommend. Our daughter had given us a groupon voucher for here as a thank you for lots of babysitting, so it was a shame it wasn't better.

There is a real problem with the food in this pub. We had a Sunday lunch and during the time we were there only two other tables were occupied. The reason is that if you have been the once you will not return. The starter we had described as tiger prawns in filo pastry, was infact 4 of the smallest frozen prawns you could find, with a few salad leaves and a spicy dip for the ridiculous price of £5.95.The main course of steak came with a few veg and frozen chips which were just warm. You could have used the steak to sole your shoes. This cost £13.50.

This is a proper old-fashioned pub in the lovely village of Hadlow which is now enhanced by the superb restoration of Hadlow Tower by the Vivat Trust. The pub serves food Wednesdays to Sundays and we had lunch there on a Wednesday. It was quiet and hence the service was very quick, and the food was very good - I had a steak and ale pie which delivered exactly what you would hope for, together with nicely cooked and presented vegetables. The local beer is also good and I would recommend this as a great example of a traditional country pub.

We had;lunch at The Two Brewers today - All the staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and would recommend this pub to other families. We will be returning soon.

My wife and I visited this pub-restaurant outside of our area, because they had a promotion.  The new management is keen to build up its reputation and I guess they are going the right way.  Both the owner who served us and the chef, who came with an apology were pleasant. The service was good;  the food OK but not great.  The starter - too much mayonnaise in theprawn cocktail; the sauce on the garlic mushrooms was too sweet for my taste- but that is just personal.  No complaints with the main (8oz, 21 day matured steak) - local ingredients, they said - but nothing extraordinary either.Ambience ok, parking behind.  Yes, I would recommend.

We went for dinner on a Wednesday. The prawns in filo pastry were tasty and the sauce a good accomplishment ,the burger was very nice and the steak came as ordered medium rare!.This is a friendly pub and well worth a visit.

Having tried all the pubs in Hadlow I can safely say that this is the best one. The beer is good, the service is good, the company is good and the food is good. There is a pool table and darts board and friendly locals to play with if needed. I will be returning to The Two Brewers as I had a thoroughly pleasant evening there.

We went in here when passing through for a quick bite to eat. when we walked in no one seemed very interestede in serving us, eventually we got served and got pointed towards the menus. We ordered and the food came out quickley it wasn't very nice and there wasn't much of it. looking around this place it is really just a drinkers type pub we wouldn't go back.

Very good food ... The steak casserole just melted in the mouth ... Service and choice of drinks is excellent ... Highly recommended ... Give it a try !!!

We went to this pub before the new management took over, found the service to be verey poor an the food not great, so on hearing new people had taken over we returned, but sadly the service has not improved, we had to wiat some time before we were served, and the pub was not busy. when are food arrived it was cold and not that well cooked, the new management has got to raise its game if they are to make a sucsses of this place.

I'm not sure what Peter J's beef is but I too have visited this pub in the past and found it to be dirty, smelly, unpleasant and poor service, so on hearing about the new management decided to give it another chance...staff and service were very welcoming and plesant, and the general atmosphere was buzzing, maybe this was because it was their relaunch night but i have since been back and although not packed to the rafters it was a much more pleasant experience than the previous landlords, and the food was freshly cooked!...in true Arnie style "i'll be back"
