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

What a fabulous meal We were greeted and treated like friends The food is delicious, the service is efficient and unassuming and the 2 maitre de are just a joy, so attentive We felt privileged to share Great value for money This is our second time and it won’t be long before we visit again A truly wonderful start to our Christmas 🎄 Thanks to everyone for such a treat X

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 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)

Visited for the second time last week for brunch, and wow, what a beautiful brunch we had! Food was of amazing quality, presented beautifully and the flavours were fantastic. Service was attentive, friendly and we felt well looked after. Small, but cosy restaurant, we wish it was somewhat bigger so it wasn’t so difficult to book a table, but will definitely visit for a dinner soon.

Just returned from Christmas dinner at The View tonight. Great menu choices, tried lots of new foods in a warm friendly buzzing atmosphere. So many home made choices and the service was friendly and attentive. The view definitely lived up to its reputation. 5*

Cozy Pub, friendly staff. Would definitely go back again. Highly recommend!

Staff were super friendly, was a quiet night so felt nice & cosy. Plenty of parking and the food was great

We had a lovely family Christmas Sunday roast for 14 and it could not have been better. The food was lovely and the staff helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful family lunch for 22 of us last Sunday. The traditional Christmas decorations set the scene, the food was delicious and our lovely waitress was exceptional! Highly recommend!

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.

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 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.

Under new ownership and the place is so pretty now. Good as amazing as ever, always worth a stop here. I have reviewed this place before and called it a little gem, pleased to say with the new owners it still is a diamond place to visit
