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

Lunch today at Hilltop was an outstanding experience - made even more pleasurable by the irrepressible manager Daren. A traditional English Sunday lunch served in comfortable, spacious - in places quirky - interconnecting dining rooms with attentive and personable staff keeping the buzzing guests fed and watered (or wined). Well worth the trip from Sydney, Australia, Thanks again, Daren - Greg F.

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.

Fabulous Sunday roast in lovely pub with tasteful Christmas decorations and friendly ambience and service. So important to have free range meat - the turkey was of great quality beautifully succulent. The gravy (for which the extra is a real treat) is to die for. The veg was also very tasty and cooked just right.

We love visiting the Kings Arms they are always so welcoming. Our last few visits we have been with babies and toddlers and dogs - they were so accommodating and thoughtful. Food is tasty and good variety and the atmosphere is perfectly village pub!

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

A group of 15 of us booked in for 8:30pm on a Thursday evening, which is after the kitchen normally shuts. However, Jade, the manageress, was very agreeable to cater for us at that time, and the staff looked after us very well. Jade’s tasty food was scoffed by the hungry diners, and all seemed pleased with their evening. The Vegetable Curry was a great hit.

We walked down from Birling as the Nevill Bull wasn't serving food, the was a large wedding reception on there but they were really friendly and still happy to serve us food. The menu was good and the food itself was similarly tasty. There was local ale available which we enjoyed, the staff were great with our kids and it was a really nice atmosphere in the pub.

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are attentive and friendly. Will definitely be returning
