The best restaurants serving British food in Hadlow, Mereworth and West Peckham Tonbridge and Malling South East

Absolutely lovely pub. We were walking around the area, popped in here, got some great lunch and drinks. Friendly and welcoming. Later I heard this is owned by the locals who all chipped in to make sure it stayed in their village. Well, they are doing a fabulous job.!

Family visit. Once we were given the correct menu ( not the one from 2016 on the website ) we ordered several days in advance. This didn’t stop us being told at the table that many items were unavailable. Manager, who hid behind the waiting staff rather than visiting our table, alleged that an email had been sent to us on Boxing Day. A check of in box and junk box failed to reveal this. OK we gratefully received some free deserts as compensation but these things shouldn’t happen and when they do just admit that you are out of these dishes ( or, more likely given the time of year, they are still in the freezer). I swapped to a Sunday roast which was just OK. Have visited the MM many times and the wow factor was missing this time. Maybe the time between Christmas and New Year isn’t a priority and everyone is a bit tired.

Amazing staff makes it really enjoyable I go at least twice a week, food is brilliant always fresh and the staff always make sure you have everything you need.

When this first started I went with friends and it was great. Went again on Friday it was a real disappointment. Too much batter, very little fish and both over cooked. Such a shame - sadly won’t be risking it again.
