The best restaurants in Aylesford Tonbridge and Malling South East

We held a family wake here. The service and patience of the staff from begining to end was exceptionl. Catering: Exceptional Staff: Exceptional Venue: Exceptional. Easy parking and access for wheel chair users inside and out. Edenwood worked hard to make what was a hard day easy, they took away all the stress. I want the staff to know that their hard work and approach was very much apprtecuiated.

As popular as ever Proper old traditional pub with great well kept beer at reasonable prices £3:30 for a pint. Old 1066 is a beer to behold. Such a friendly pub, great staff and landlord, also reflected in the clientele. Splendid all round Unbelievably just gets better. From Eccles it's well worth the 20min walk to Aylesford for an excellent inexpensive pint and traditional convivial company. Foot path between Eccles and Aylesford now clear A serious template for a successful pub. Autumn Green Hops beer always a hit, get it while can

We have been meaning to try this place for ages but never had the chance. We both had the day off so decided to give it a try. We didn’t notice the sign by the carpark so took a little while to find it. It was very busy which is always a good sign. We were welcomed by very friendly helpful staff. We looked at the menu while we waited for a table to be free which wasn’t too long. I decided to have the breakfast sandwich and my wife had the avocado and bacon on toast. It’s a very nice setting and lots to choose on the menu. Our food arrived hot and was very tasty. Nice size portions. The chef popped his head out to make sure everything was okay. We have some drinks which were hot. Had a very nice afternoon here and will definitely will come back in the future. Thank you to all the staff for making us feel welcome and the excellent service and food.

We have visited base camp with sweet sensations many times and have thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Because if this we decided to ask Sarah if she would make a 40th birthday cake for our son. Needless to say the cake was amazing!!

Great cafe with a good selection of food. Two cosy back rooms, one with plenty of toys for children to play with. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Also outdoor seating a nice children's play area.

One waitress was particularly rude, and most looked like they didn't want to be there. We almost walked out, but the food is good.

We visited The Hengist at 2pm on Sunday 10th November for a family meal of 6 adults & 2 children. The decor looked amazing and the initially very friendly staff took care of our drinks and foods orders well, encouraging us to order extras like gravy and roast potatoes at this point as ‘in his words’ if we didn’t order them now we would have finished our meals by the time they arrived. Having had 2 rounds of drinks all arriving in good time we started to wonder when the food would come. 2 starters of scotch eggs arrived about 30 minutes after ordering but unfortunately the sausage meat part was raw so we let the waiter know that we weren’t happy to eat them. An hour later (so 90 minutes after ordering) we still had no mains, the waiting staff now seemed to be trying to avoid us including to order more drinks and we had to call someone over to ask if at least the kids food could be sent as they were now getting hungry. Soon after a kids pasta and kids roast beef (which had no vegetables whatsoever priced at £11) came out. Still no mention or apology of our wait on food plus a couple of us were now without a drink. 20 minutes later when the children had finished their meals and no check on our table or explanation for our wait on food had been given we decided we had had enough and we would leave, asking for the bill of what we had consumed. A bill arrived including everything we had ordered including the missing meals, missing extras, returned starters and £5 each for the kids apple juices which were supposed to be included in a kids meal as well as a service charge percentage of all of that on top totalling £300! As you can imagine by this point we were quite annoyed, so having told the waiting staff as such, finally an owner came to our table but instead of apologising or trying to correct the situation we were made to feel like difficult customers. We left having spent over 2 hours not eating any food (except the children) and still having spent £90 (a few beers, 1 glass of wine and 1 gin & tonic). I haven’t left a restaurant this dissatisfied in a long time. I understand sometimes things go wrong in hospitality but some communication, an apology and an offer of reconciliation perhaps in the form of some complimentary drinks could’ve maybe corrected this experience to not leave us feeling quite so outraged that we will not only not return but will also actively avoid recommending anyone to try The Hengist!

Fantastic pub great food very welcoming staff lovely to be sitting outside with friends after a long CTC Ride

Just ordered a takeaway from this place and what a mistake! I ordered tandoori mixed grill which was dry and flavourless pilau rice with a madras sauce, they delivered me a masala sauce which was not very nice at all so sweet and the darkest of red in colour I ended up chucking it in the bin, never again

It’s closed, apparently has been for months.

Better than previous years when it was the poppy fields. Friendly service and edible food so can't Complain!

We booked for a family afternoon tea, for around 50 people. We had plates of sandwiches and cakes, really lovely quality bread used and fillings were really nice. The coffee and tea were served in lovely cups and saucers with lovely tiered cake stands. The service was amazing, the servers polite and attentive. We are really grateful to Natalie the catering manager for such a lovely spread, so accommodating. The table cloths were beautiful, white laundered and the Pilgrims Hall itself is really lovely. If you are thinking of a place to hold a celebration do enquire, it was really good value for money and everyone commented on the quality of the food and drinks. My thanks to Kirsty for organising and being great at staying in touch to arrange the details. Plenty of parking and lovely walks around the Priory to walk off the lovely cakes. ❤️

We ordered a takeaway to collect for an office of 6 people. Ready quickly, hot and fresh, the manager was very helpful in checking my order was correct. Either eating in or out, it's always a great meal in here, complete with efficient and friendly staff.

Vegan options available - good to call and book before coming. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was tranquil.

Didn't seem to be many people serving had quite a wait. Had to ask for the coffees to be filled up more
