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

The Freemasons has great vibes. We had a lovely lunch, served by great staff. Everything was spot on! I'll always go back to the Freemasons.

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.

Super friendly local - always a warm welcome from Ben and team - the best kept Ales and great food especially the Thai feast nights.

Booked in here for Sunday roast dinner it was absolutely scrumptious! The food portions were generous and the pub atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Keep up the good work Carla & Lee and thank you to chef Richard for a tasty treat

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

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.

Very popular with the locals, staff friendly and polite, food options are good, with the kitchen closing at 9pm so order your table early, car park available also.

Works christmas party . Absolutely the worst meal we have ever had . Starter uncooked beetroot like a crisp with no flavour not able to cut . Main course roast beef Roast potatoes unable to even bite so hard,Yorkshire pudding just about possible to crack with my hands . Vegetables like mash and gravy like water . Many complains made . People sending food back .

Good service, lovely atmosphere and excellent food! Would be nice if a few more options (I'm vegetarian and there was only one veggie option)

Lovely old pub with an excellent selection of drinks and an open fireplace in the winter

This is a lovely pub, with a fire and restaurant on the one side and a traditional pub on the other side. We went on the restaurant side and all enjoyed a fabulously tasty starter. My wife had the crab and I had a really creamy tasty leek and potato soup. The problem came with the main. Billed as a roast lamb, we were served a lamb steak, which had been roasted. If you’re going to serve a lamb steak, then print your menu properly. The lamb was chewy and not lovely slices of lamb carved from a joint. Very disappointing, as the venue is fabulous, but the main dish was a huge let down

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Moat - the staff were very attentive and friendly . The food was lovely - we all had a roast dinner . The staff didn’t bat an eyelid when I spilt my drink all over the table and floor and then set fire to the kitchen roll ! Thank you

Very nice selection of food at great prices. Lots of seating.

Set menu reasonably priced and decent selection. Enjoyed the aubergine parmigiana very much and the peanut butter parfait was divine.

Walked in today, no table booked. The manager greeted us and advised fully booked, but after reviewing table plan, found us a table for 8. Excellent food, excellent service, good value for money. We will definitely return!
