The best restaurants serving British food in Tonbridge and Malling South East

I was attending a private function in the afternoon and the service, food and ambience were excellent. I'm coeliac and I have to have a Gluten-free diet which was catered to, to perfection. Would definitely recommend going.

The pub has had a refurb during lockdown and Donna has worked hard on improving and expanding the menu. I've eaten here twice this week and it has been excellent both times. There are spacious eating areas both inside the pub and outside (and no smoking in the outside garden eating as that is reserved for another area). On Thursday evening I had prawns with garlic and my partner had prawns with lime and chilli - both fab. We went with my son for Sunday lunch today and there was chicken, gammon and beef on offer as a Sunday roast which you could mix if you wanted to. Between us we had the full range and it was superb with a great selection of vegetables including cauliflower cheese. We all cleared our plates. Absolutely delicious. Then a good selection of desserts. This is a great choice if you want a day by the river and great food with a nice atmosphere.

A small village cafe for locals and visitors. Friendly service team and offers fresh home made food daily. Lovely homemade cakes as well. (my favourite is the ginger cake)

We had a special afternoon here before Christmas. We are keen cooks and we like to go out to restaurants to have food that we couldn’t create at home and have a proper experience. This was certainly it. Every dish was out of this world. We found it hard to rank them at the end. I’m sure we will speak about this meal in years to come!

Bowley's is truly an outstanding restaurant situated in a lovely country pub, run by a team who clearly love what they do. Locally sourced, fresh ingredients turned into mouth watering dishes which we thoroughly enjoyed. The staff's attention to detail is second to none and they catered for our Dietary requirements with ease and professionalism at short notice. My husband really enjoyed his Birthday here. I can't recommend Bowley's enough and we'll be back sooner than later.

I have been visiting the View for several years and have always been delighted with the ambience, service, quality of the food and its presentation. The students can feel very proud of themselves. My friend and I were celebrating our respective birthdays on our last visit, and this was acknowledged with candles on our dessert and an extra chocolate treat. Were were delighted.

What a find! This little cafe on the A25 next door to a 'poodle parlour' was absolutely delightful. Free parking. Inexpensive prices and enormous portions together with a friendly personable owner, made it a special place to visit. Also there is a lovely deli where you can buy things - and they have a take-away service. We will be back!

Food was very tasty and decent portions but starting to get a bit expensive in my opinion so will push customers away over time. Ordered on New Year’s Eve so food took a couple of hours to be delivered but was informed 40 to 60 minutes initially. Please don’t price yourself out of business.

Came here last Sunday, roast was amazing! Would definitely return

Great atmosphere, small restaurant and bar but well laid out. Staff were attentive and friendly.

A favourite of ours - Pie & A Pint at The Kentish Rifleman for £14.50. You have a choice of 8 pies catering for all tastes. Served with fresh vegetables, skinny or chunky fries or new potatoes and a jug of piping hot gravy. You can add some cauliflower cheese as an extra. You can choose to have a pint of local beer including a lager, or a 175ml glass of a red or white wine or a non-alcoholic drink. You can then add a Pie & Pint & Pud Special as an extra. We chose Beef Chilli Pie and it was delicious. You really cannot beat the quality of food and service for the price. Pie & A Pint is on Tuesday nights and I recommend booking as this is very popular.

I came here with friends for lunch and on the menu was a Caesar salad.. it didn’t have the option to add chicken on the menu, despite me asking about what it is. So £9 for lettuce, croutons and a bit of cheese.. so I returned it and was told to pay an extra £2 for chicken?! For a small ‘family’ cafe this is awful and when I said that £9 for that was unfair.. the staff member responded with.. ‘Well you obviously don’t know how much it costs to run a buisness’ which I found frankly unprofessional and RUDE! I responded saying ‘you don’t know what I do for work, but this is not okay to charge that’ And she responded ‘Well I would pay that so it’s tough’ Honestly how unprofessional. I’ve been coming here ages.

Good golf courses, restaurant great with good priced food. Staff nice and helpful, cant fault the place. Well worth a visit.

My only piece of advice is that Cafe Plaza could do with WIFI. The food and service is excellent. It’s probably the best Cafe in the area.

We came here for our spa day retreat and afternoon tea. The food was delicious and the tea was amazing too. Everyone made me and my sister very comfortable. The staff were amazing and polite and really made the experience perfect.
