The Wealden Hall in Tonbridge and Malling

Great to see the smiley Lara back behind the bar pulling pints .always happy in her job and willing to put the customer first

Just enjoyed a fantastic Sunday Roast. Friendly staff. Food was great. Everything meat, roast potatoes, parsnips, yorkshire pudding, loads of veggies & cauliflour cheese. 10/10

I’ve always wanted to visit since moving to the local area. I visited with my partner. The pub itself is beautiful and has a large carpark. It had a big beer garden and there was a good atmosphere. Inside the pub it was inviting and cosy. Staff were very friendly. The food was average though. They were a little stingy on the portion size especially for the squid starter. I might go back again in future for a drink but not food. We were also seated in the dining area that is next to an exit. The door didn’t shut properly so there was a draft every time someone opened it and an annoying squeak as it struggled to close on itself each time. So overall, ‘ok’ but that’s about it.

Inexpensive, good menu with good service. Overall a good experience.

Nachos not good at all wasn't proper nachos prawn starter only 3 small prawns in a sauce which was not nice at all 8 chicken stripes alliuminun dishes not nice had to wait half hour and 32 pound very overpriced garden lovely

Went for our first evening meal there and I know we will be going again. Everything was perfect from my perspective. Good food and reasonable prices.

Could be a fantastic place, just need to change the food which isn't good enough in my opinion, especially when you consider what's available near by and in West malling.Owners need to change things up.Workers very friendly and the drinks not bad plus venue and outside is nice, just needs some management and money spending.

Myself, my partner and two friends visited this lovely quirky eatery last night and enjoyed great food and a lovely ambience. We had a table in a snug area where you had to walk over a large beam to enter. This restaurant is full of character with some low ceilings and very old oak beams everywhere. As we sat down we began to realise it was very cold outside as when the door opened there was quite a draught that came in but when we mentioned this to the staff, they immediately fetched some firewood and started a blazing fire in the wonderful old inglenook grate. Immediately the place turned into a cozy old-fashioned fireside dining experience which we all enjoyed immensely. We were served by a young man called Alex who was brilliant and we couldn’t have had any better treatment at The Ritz. Despite it being busy we didn’t have to wait long for any of the courses and the food was not only very reasonably priced but was cooked to perfection, altogether a first class evening.

Heidi was simply, OUTSTANDING. Her customer service is why we won’t hesitate to return. Heidi went above and beyond to make our evening memorable.

Great service and staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Very good with the children making them laugh and playing games.

Sunday family lunch Brilliant experience today Sunday 16th March Easy to park with the large free carpark. The staff were welcoming and friendly and were very good at engaging the children when ordering. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. And my gluten intolerance was well catered for. There was games in The Library which the children loved (as did we, who doesn't love Jenga?!) Lovely atmosphere and brilliant staff and all very reasonably priced. We're very happy, thank you Wealden Hall

I had 60th birthday party at the wealden hall. Everything was fantastic. They made it a very special evening

Nice inexpensive restaurant, nice atmosphere

I am afraid my main course which was a Senior meal of chicken was hard and as if it had been standing for a long time. I was compensated with the cost of this meal. There was no red wine at all! And the white wine my daughter chose was not available either! She chose another. The drinks were good and the servers were friendly. The building is wonderful and we came with a very sunny day, drinking our aperitifs outside. Service for our main courses was extremely slow.

One of the better pints of Guinness this side of Ireland.

Visited here Thursday afternoon, greeted by very friendly guy behind the bar. Beer was as expected of Green King perfect. I had the steak sandwich, it was the best. Cooked perfect and full of flavour, compliments to the chef. This place is certainly worth a visit. However, if you are over 5ft 10in mind your head, it is a period building with the headroom of its time.

Beautiful old quaint pub, open fires, wood beams and quaint decor. The food was fresh, homemade and delicious! Great value for money and friendly staff. Will definately come back!

Great service from Owen the barman last night. Thank you. Paul

I came for lunch today with a colleague who was visiting from London. She very much enjoyed the vegan risotto and I enjoyed the fish and chips. She loved the old building and is looking forward to returning with her family one day.

Visited with my partner for the lunch deal wrap, food was great, service was amazing from our server Kerry, attention to detail and friendliness goes such a long way, would highly recommend 👌🏻

Kerry served us and is extremely friendly and efficient too. The fish and chips (the fish mainly), was superb. So crispy and I reckon better than the fish and chip shops around here!

Having lived in the area for quite some time, I am now baffled at how it has taken so long to visit. From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel welcome, the pub itself was very homely and clean. Great menu options and the specials were varied also. The staff helped make great recommendations when faced with multiple choices. Only sad note was missing out on the limencello tart (missed it by 10 minutes), however the second choice was great. Will be coming back and have already been recommending to friends.

We always enjoy visiting the Wealden hall. It was lovely to have the open fires going. Good selection of beers and spirits. Food has always been good when we have ate here.

Come into the wealden regularly, always enjoy my pint sat next to the fire. Kerry served me today, always chatty and service with a smile. Thanks Wealden

A Perfect Spot for Christmas Dinner & More! We booked Wealden Hall for our Christmas dinner, and it was an amazing experience! The food was delicious and well-prepared, with great quality and taste. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place for families to relax and enjoy a long meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great time. The bar facilities are also a nice addition for those looking to enjoy drinks with friends. Overall, a fantastic place for both family gatherings and casual meetups. Highly recommended!

After hearing about this pub we decided to head in for lunch a few weeks ago. The manager Bryony was very friendly and recommended a turkey and cranberry burger which was very good. We was also served by Kev and Adrian who did a great job and were very passionate about the pub and the buildings history. Will definitely be returning.

Pub meal on my own. Chose this venue as it was walking distance from where I was staying. Large choice on menu, I had the mixed grill, with a sauce. Total cost was just over £26 for food above and pint of draft lager. This was a Monday night, so plenty of tables. Order food at the bar. The food was lovely and steak cooked to order (medium).

After hearing about this place from others we decided to come in for lunch on New Years Day. The pub has lots of character and we was advised the building has likely been around since the 1300s. We was looked after by Kev who was friendly and helpful, and also passionate about the buildings history as well as being served by Alex and Adrian. We will definitely be returning.

Had a birthday party in the function room. Catering was excellent staff were brilliant everyone had a fantastic evening

Food average,service wasn’t the best met up with a friend,we go there as near to us.Atomsphere was good.

Not somewhere I'd choose yo go again

It was a group Christmas dinner, no decorations or crackers. Saved by good size portions.

Great place. Great staff. Great setting. Really kind people. Great experience. Thank you

Half the menu not available, ordered food, no staff had allergy information. Staff came and said what we ordered wasn't available (half an hour after originally ordered) Waited an hour for starters, no apology or anything. Horrible place horrible service, don't waste your time.

We were greeted at the bar and directed to our private dining room. The bar staff were cheerful, helpful and the prices reasonable. Our servers were polite and attentive with the food delivered quickly. The meals were a piping hot, the meat tender and the seasonable veg. attractive, tasty and plentiful. The empty plates were cleared quickly and the courses served promptly. All in all dining at the Wealden Hall was a very good experience and I’d have no hesitation in recommending the venue.

As a family we have held 4 celebrations in the function room upstairs. Every single time the staff have been absolutely amazing. Accommodating, helpful, happy to help and let us do our thing with regards to decorating and moving furniture about to suit our needs - even hunting high and low for the TV remote so we could play a slide show. The function room is a lovely space with its own bar and toilets and has a cosy feel despite being quite a big area. Lots of room for a dance floor and spaces for people to sit together. Food is always good and lots of options. Would always recommend and thank you to all the staff for making it so easy and making us feel welcome and comfortable every time.

A lovely old fashioned pub/restaurant just outside of Maidstone,Kent. I parked in their large free car park. Note that there are no parking restrictions. The pub is an old building with large oak beams, watch you don't bump your head in some areas. There are plenty of tables and I would imagine the area around the lovely open fire is rarely empty during the cold months. There is also a large outside seating area which is patio styled with plenty of wooden tables. The pub is run by Greene King and is more upmarket than usual and this is reflected in the menu and the pricing. I had some nachos which was a large portion and the tortilla chips were home made ( see pic ) very nice but at £9.75 the most I've paid in a Greene King pub. I saw various meals come to tables and all looked good and it's not all chips,chips,chips. They have the two meals deal but it's set at £14.99 hear which again is on the higher side but portions are generous. They still have some great offers on drinks with cocktails and spritzers at just £5.99. All staff I came into contact with were polite and friendly. This would be a great place for special occasions as the surroundings are lovely. Visited on 10/12/24 and was a little disappointed..trying to run everything with just one member of staff simply did not work. Tables were left with plates and glasses and there were times when no one was at the bar to serve

Lovely rustic pub. Good food. Will definitely re-visit.

Bit of a mixed review. Normally, we love this place. Always rate it highly to everyone. Long wait for dessert 45 minutes.but it was fine, the service by the man (manager) was spot on and the food was very good so thank you. Went to pay using a blue light card. Told abruptly that they couldn't do blue light on the festive menu. Okay, but the table of 4 next to us literally just had, the helpful gentleman server (manager) had sorted this all out for them no problem, so of course we assumed it would be the same for us? Told needed app on the phone if we wanted to even try and use our blue light. Made to feel very uncomfortable, no kindness, or "Let's see if we can sort this for you" by the lady at the till, very taken aback by her lack of customer service. So, we just said don't worry as a queue behind us, and her rudness was making us feel like we were trying to get something we clearly were not entitled to. That end of service point ruined the whole experience, and we won't ever be back now. Despite being weekly regulars for many years.

Food was okay but not very hot. Mashed potato has a crusty dry ring round it - most strange. Service was very slow - maybe why food was lukewarm. No coffee machine so refused a mini dessert (usually served with a coffee). Surely dessert could of been offered half price.

Visited for dinner as we were staying locally. The EV car charging in the car park was very useful. We visited with a guide dog and received a very warm welcome-Alex found us a great table in a quiet, cosy corner. Our waitress Mia was very attentive and personable. Our food was good quality and delicious - it far surpassed our expectations of ‘pub grub’.

Food and service were excellent

Have been here a couple of times now with family and will definitely be back! Today went with my Mum, Sister and Son 3 of us had the senior menus, absolute bargain! We were waited on by Kerry, who was an absolute star, nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service!

Excellent service Clean, Hot food

Great value bar food! Had halloumi and chips and it was lovely!

I walked in and was greeted at the bar by Heidi, and was served in a delightful manor, the food arrived I had the Roast dinner and my Wife had the chicken and pesto, around a minute after we as asked if we where happy via Shelby. The food was amazing large portions and great taste. If I could give more stars I would the staff are friendly and welcoming. Thank you

Food lovely , service and staff terrible.

Taken to our table , told someone would be along to take orders, after nearly an hour , no one had been near the table ! Went to bar to order , won't be returning ( even though food was lovely) , no apologies, nothing ! Staff aren't polite at all

Went on Sunday 29th September with some friends, had a lovely meal and was served by Kerry who could not do enough for us, she is an asset to the place.

Kelly served us and honestly she was great. Food was fairly priced and very tasty. I had the scampi and chips and my wife had Katie chicken curry.

Had mixed grill and lamb Henry no veg with mixed grill but everything on was nice lamb Henry bit cold but tasted very nice sweets very nice well worth having If you have room for them. Dog friendly to which is great,they had live music on when we visited.

Great atmosphere old world pub lunch menu was good. Special menu for seniors who like smaller portions.

A really lovely restaurant, with plenty of seating both indside and outside. 9 of us had a lovely time, drinks and food were great, with a very wide choice of everything. Kids menu was ideal. All the staff were very friendly and helpful considering how busy they were.

What can I say. This 14th Century pub is amazing. Parking...easy! Bar staff...welcoming smile and no problems when I made a slight adjustment to my food order. Then there's the food. OMG...Emily, the chef...you are amazing. Katsu Curry for me, Lasagne for my wife...both so good! We WILL be returning...don't take my word for it. Come and try this little gem for yourself...you won't be sorry. Again, Emily...thank you! X

We have several pints of beer and wraps. The food was very well prepared and delicious. We went for our friend's birthday and will definitely come back again.

The pub is rustic which attracted us to pay it a visit, it's clean and has stone flooring we received a great service, from the guy behind the bar who was friendly and welcoming, to the staff that brought out our food and the chefs cooking. We would definitely go again and would recommend a visit.

Comfortable friendly atmosphere. Great food, plenty of parking, dogs welcome. Served by the lovely friendly Kerry. Will be back and recommend.

Popped in for last minute dinner, had the lovely burgers. Nice atmosphere, feel comfortable and served by the lovely Kerry. Very attentive. Would recommend.

Kerry was a lovely host and great service with a smile. Very friendly and efficient! Food wasn't great though, look forward to the new menu!

Went a few days ago and was served by Kerry who was lovely and friendly and served me fresh £2 pints of Fosters with a nice bit of pie and mash. Cameron the bartender is always a joy to talk to, too.

Staff all friendly and helpful, but the price of a round of drinks is astronomical

What a lovely pub and wonderful staff, we went in for a Sunday roast and I had the lamb shank, it tasted incredible. I’ll definitely be back again soon. Thankyou to the manager tarn for looking after us on our visit

Went here for dinner this evening can’t fault a thing. We had 2 beef roasts OMG they were Devine, we will def visit again. Nothing was a problem, nice warm plates. I’m sure the chefs name was Emily the lad who brought our food out was Conner and I can’t remember the young girls name who served us, I think she was new. Above all great time

Can’t fault this place, lovely atmosphere, really helpful staff, classic pub grub at a bargain price! Will definitly be recommending and we will be back. Thanks 🙂

Staff 5* Food 5* Service* Great value for money and real decent pub grub. As expected - will definitely return!

Really lovely pub, visited for the first time and was greeted with a lovely atmosphere and staff were friendly. Food was great and tasted nice. Will visit again soon. Thanks again for a good experience

This is a very nice place to be any time

The waiter dropped the halumy fries on the table and asked us if we still want to eat them. The waiter picked up the fries by hands and put them back on the plate. We asked for a new portion. The new portion arrived 4min later despite it took them at least 30 minutes to serve it initially. Also, the lettuce garnish in the Hunter`s Chicken wasn't fresh at all. On the way home, after sharing our experience with the manager, we've been offered a partial refund.

Food was terrible instant mash (they admitted it was frozen) cold tasteless peas again not fresh and tebderstem broccoli is what was listed !!! I got a full refund but terrible quality and they seemed ok with that!!!!

Great service and food was excellent. A really good evening with the family

Nice meal, great seating outdoors. Clean and friendly staff. Nice pub.

I visited this place last week with my family and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I went for a meal and a couple of drinks and I have to say the place was nice and calm with a chilled atmosphere. The service was great and the food was delicious.

Lovely old pub with original features and Lovely meal. Staff very friendly

Good, food is cheap but decent, nice atmosphere, car park could do with levelling out but it is a nice place

Not my cup of tea, bit dingy and dark

Lovely atmosphere oak beams sort of place, large outdoor space too.

The service was really good, the Staff (2x ladies) were welcoming and attentive. This was quite a refreshing experience compared to usual "get in and being hurried out nature restaurants have now" thank you, customer service done right and all with a smile. Food was really good tasty and good portion sizes, great cocktails!!

Everything is nice, food is nice ,but i fell a negative energy inside the restaurant ,as if i felt controled.Something is happening in that restaurant.

We were only passing through but it is a very friendly and welcoming place... a real pub as I like to find them....

Not terrible but service was poor and food whilst decent, extremely overpriced.

Orded online nothing turned up went to bar ask was still on till on floor was half eaten burger roll food was only warm

The Wealden Hall Public House, located at London Road in East Malling, Aylesford, is a historically significant building dating back to the late 14th century. Originally a farmhouse, it has been modified over centuries and now serves as a restaurant. The building's main block showcases exposed timber framing with curved braces and brick infilling, characteristic of its medieval origins. The service and solar ends are jettied forward on brackets and joists, and the structure includes a central recess supported by two curved braces, plain tiled hipped roofs with gablets, and various architectural features like a dragon post and a gabled stair-tower at the rear. In the mid-17th century, an extension was added, enhancing its historical and architectural value. This addition features a timber-framed upper floor, rubble stone ground floor with brick dressings, and a central ridge stack. Internally, the hall retains a collar-purlin roof with a crown post, and there are indications that it once had an upper-floor hall. The Wealden Hall is a Grade II* listed building, recognized for its architectural and historic significance, and has been officially listed since February 1987. Excellent food, and drinks, with a warm welcome & friendly atmosphere. The staff is attentive when entering this establishment offering a cosy, traditional pub ambience which enhances their dining experience. Regarding the food, the menu offers a variety of traditional British pub dishes: steak and ale pie, lamb shank, and fish and chips. I specifically commend the chicken and ham pie being a standout dish. Drink options are also well-rated, with a good selection of ales, lagers, and wines. A large outside seating area with parasols. Overall, the Wealden Hall I highly recommend for those seeking hearty, traditional British fare in a historic and pleasant setting. Dog-friendly... 🐕

Hi, I had a great time having lunch with a friend at Wealden, we both enjoyed the katsu chicken curries. The food came out hot and delicious and in a timely manner. Great atmosphere and friendly service by Kerry and Jay. There was an excellent deal on and some great lunch time options too. Highly recommend

We only had a coffee and soft drink on the patio. I was meeting a friend for a quick chat.

Used my greene King Groupon voucher. Had the special burger was amazing

Great experience with Wealdwn Hall. I visited on a work trip and ate there again my second night as the first night was so good. Steak was cooked perfectly and lovely friendly staff, especially Kerry who took my order and looked after me. A very happy customer. Will definitely be back

Lovely lunch food was great sat in the garden on a glorious sunny day. Staff were very attentive.

We arrived for a Saturday drink, Sat in the garden enjoyed the fun atmosphere Ellie and Lara were brilliant

It's a shame you can't just pop into this pub for a drink, bar staff really rude, and told needed to book, even though lots of space. May have thought about food, or even returned, but not now. This experience was more about attitude of bar staff, as understand tables may have been needed. Certainly doesn't cater for the casual pop ins.

5 of us decide to pop in for a pint before moving on to our next destination. The girl behind the bar wasn't very welcoming. Will not be going there again.

Initially all seemed good. However my son had ordered a burger which turned up without the bun! When I asked I was informed they had run out and the waitress that served should have told us. She hadn't. No apology and shocking and embarrassing. Should have sent it back but as other dishes had been served my son chose to endure this ridiculous situation. I had steak which wasn't great either.

Had a lovely evening with friends. We all enjoyed ourselves. Staff were great, especially Lara and Bryony.

An impromptu meal. Very good food and service at an acceptable price. Highly recommended. I don't really like pastry but the chicken and ham pie was fantastic! Would definitely have again.

It was a very lovely experience down there. I’ve been to the restaurant twice. 5 of the photos were on my Samsung in which the photo quality isn’t great, the other 5 on my iPhone where the photo quality is better. I went there with my classmates and teachers. Originally, we was supposed to go in December 2022, but due to the snow and learning from home, we couldn’t go. However, we eventually went there in January 2023. I had fish and chips along with garlic bread and an ice cream sundae (pics from my Samsung phone which the photo quality was poor) and it was lovely. The second time I went was in July of 2023, again with my classmates and teachers. We had the meal out hence one of the teachers was leaving our school. This time I had a starter being chicken strips. My main meal was the same delicious fish and chips. One of my friends gave me a waffle which was beautiful. (Second time I went, photos were on my iPhone and quality was even better). The staff were very friendly. I would 100000% go there again :)

Shabby pub in dire need of modernisation but they used to do an excellent all day breakfast which was the reason for me visiting. Stopped doing it. Disappointed.

The nicest roast dinner 😋 fast, friendly service. And the ladies loo's were immaculate.

Lemon drizzle cake is a must, it divine

Nice relaxing atmosphere friendly people enjoyed it!!

A great local pub with great food and friendly staff

Was visiting friends in Addington and they brought me here for an early Dinner. Lovey original Building with Low Wooden Beams inside giving it a really authentic feel. Very Good Menu - Food was very nice and staff lovely. Kerry was really friendly and attentive. I'd definitely go back her again.
