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

Warm welcome. Spacious dining area and great food served. Tasty scampi and fabulous (and huge) fish. Large garden and plenty of seating outside. Blue Anchor ale was nice. Very near Great Comp gardens.

This place has gone downhill rapidly, we (was) regulars to this pub, not anymore as it’s over run by dogs! And dog owners who let their dogs lick tables that are supposed to have food served them. The interior is terrible and tables are now all stick and furniture is older than my Nan ! This should be known as the ‘dog cafe. It isn’t clean & is in need of a good re-vamp. Shocking is putting it politely!

Excellent sourdough bread but everything else overpriced. The portions are extremely small so it makes the prices very expensive as you’re not getting much for your money. Toasties are £9 using very small slices of bread and quite simple fillings, no salad or anything extra. Shortbread slice tiny for £3 - it’s only about two mouthfuls. The cheese scone, at £4, is probably the best value - it was delicious until you eat a bite with a peppercorn in, which completely overpowers any other flavour. I don’t mind more expensive but I don’t feel the size of the portions justify the price.

lovely surroundings. Awful food, service and atmosphere. Booked lunch for a friends birthday and paid a £5,00 per head non-refundable deposit. I have been fortunate to eat at some amazing restaurants, and can honestly say that I have only been asked to pay a deposit a couple of times. On arrival, we were surprised that such a lovely space was so empty, there was only 2 other people in the whole place. It is a large room with tables to sit I would say at least 75 patrons. We had to approach the staff as we were not greeted on arrival. We were not seated, and there was no reserved signs on any tables. After choosing where to sit down, we were ignored to the point that one of my friends got up and took some menus from one of the other tables as we had none on ours. We were then told that to order we were to get up and go to the counter. One of our party was unwell, so my friend that had made the booking told one of the staff, her reply was a curt, "well you don't get your deposit back". When we went to order, the deposit caused so much confusion. It went from bad to worse after that. A drink arrived with some spilt on the saucer, and nothing was said. The menu is limited to say the least and quite frankly boring. My friends have been to the tearoom on site, but thought that as this was a birthday celebration, it would be nice to "upgrade". How wrong they were! The food arrived in dribs and drabs. There were no condiments/sauces offered apart from salt and pepper on the table. One of our party had ordered quiche and salad. This arrived with a large portion of chips on the plate, which was unexpected. The "salad "consisited of a lettuce leaf, a couple of slices of tomato and the same of cucumber. The quiche was so hard that my friend could not cut into it, so when our chuck in the oven scampi, chips and dried up peas arrived, my friend commented about it. The waitress duly returned it to the kitchen, returning sometime later with a replacement, which was cold, well frozen in the middle. Our other meals were no better, and we decided that rather risking feeling unwell, we would not eat it. To be honest, it was so tasteless, it was not enjoyable. The waitress removed our plates and we prepared to leave. She returned stating that the "CHEF" was sorry and that we would be getting a full refund. This itself was problematic and we were sent to the reception area in another building to sort one of our party's out. All in all, a very disappointing and unpleasant experience, and not one that any of us will be repeating.

Had a lovely lunch following a long walk around East Malling. Friendly staff and generous portions. Large garden area lovely setting in the warm spring sun.

Amazing service and delicious food! I would highly recommend. The red wine we had was also lovely. This place is a lovely mix of relaxed and chic. The quality of the food was fantastic. Our server, Layla was lovely and managed my allergies brilliantly!

Lovely traditional pub. Great inexpensive food with a great garden.

Great smiling staff, always on hand. Food was good quality, a little overpriced for what we all had. But a lovely country pub and would visit again if in the area.

Lovely little coffee shop in the centre of Tonbridge. Really nice coffee, I just wish you did white chocolate and raspberry iced matcha!

Only one beer, poor service and stopped serving before 10 pm, unfortunately I made the same mistake twice. Don’t be me!

Nice venue. Terrible food. Been to 2 events in the last 6 months. The venue is great, staff good, but the food.. just awful. Better off ordering in. Poorly presented, lacking variety and low quality.

Brilliant breakfast, cooked fresh every time and tailored to individual requests. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Tucked away at the back of an airport hangar it’s a bit tricky to find but we’ll worth it.

fantastic as all-way’s . good service.friendly and very helpful . superb food . garden area . car-parking . tables in the garden area are based on first come basis. smoking area .

The coffee/tea machine needs to replace and moving too separated to a different area

We were passing and the sun was shining, the next thing we knew we were sipping cool and refreshing Mocktails. Only £5.50 each so why not? Parking three mins walk. Service very professional and welcoming.
