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.

The Sunday roast has always been fabulous at the Nevill Bull and today was no exception. It’s as good as home cooked one and we are all very fussy about our roasts. Perfect potatoes, perfect veggies just the right texture and taste, brilliant yorkies, beautiful rare beef, their world famous gravy! What’s more to ask for! Wine was also delish and puddings really delightful. Such a soft and gooey brownie, husband had the most delicious waffle and friend had fresh and exquisite ice cream. Thank you for a fabulous afternoon!

Had our first of many evenings at the kings arms, food was lovely and staff were very attentive and polite, thought I wasn’t going to manage dessert but went for it anyways had the waffles with strawberry’s ice cream and sauces “thought id died and gone to heaven” it was scrummy…..

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
