The best restaurants in Hildenborough Tonbridge and Malling South East

Visited the cafe early for a couple of bacon rolls. Whilst cafe was open for coffees and pasties the kitchen didn’t open until 8.30 am. However the lovely lady working the early shift there made me two cracking bacon rolls to take away, with a cheerful smile and willing spirit. Had to tip well for that kind of service!

Lovely restaurant with pleasant ambiance. Visited on a recent overnight stay to Hever Castle which is a 15 minute drive away. The food was extremely flavoursome, hot and nicely presented. Service was good. Excellent value for money. Recommend.

Great lunch with girlfriends. Staff were extremely helpful as one of us had a food allergy. Good ambience and choice of food. We all went for the two course lunch menu which was excellent value.

Great local pub and staff are always friendly. They do some classic pub food served very casually - no gastro prices here! Sports are normally on but there's places to sit away from that if you like. Pool table at the back too. There's also some great local history which is worth looking into, especially if you're interested in world war 2. A spitfire crashed in the rear garden and some relics from that are on display, and a plaque dedicated to the pilot is above the door. There is a detailed display about a German Heinkel He111 bomber (serial number 3233, V4 + KL of 3/KG1) which crashed nearby stocks green and was displayed in the front car park to raise money for the spitfire fund during the Battle of Britain

Clean and bright interior with ample off-the-road parking at no cost. Table service by delightful staff. I had two slices of fresh and crispy fried bread, two fried eggs with just runny yolks, two rashers of bacon, a slice of black pudding and a tub of baked beans. With a large mug of Americano coffee and 10% optional service my bill was £15.29 and worth every penny.

Local restaurant where we usually order a take away or eat in. Last night order was very disappointing that we decided we will not be ordering food there anymore. The started of chilli paneer was very burned paneer and no chilli. It seems the chef didn’t care and this was the quality of food we had before. Same for the naan. The size is now half what it was before and was also burnt and very dry. The curry was good.

Held a wedding reception at this venue and it was perfect. Everyone is at the top of their game and very professional. I would recommend this venue for your event

This pub, in a rural setting just outside Tonbridge, has a lot going for it - spacious beamed interior, beautiful gardens, huge car park and friendly efficient service. The menu has a good variety of dishes. I had a cod burger which was delicious: light crispy batter with succulent fish in a brioche bun simply dressed with mayo and lettuce. It sounds simple but was so good I'd like to go back and eat it again tomorrow! As well as the normal menu, on weekdays you can also choose from two or three course set menus, which seemed good value. The two beers on tap were from Tonbridge brewery and Kent brewery and were both in excellent condition. If you go, best to first check out their website, as they are sometimes closed for weddings.
