| Nice pub, friendly staff, child friendly pub, but the garden is small unfortunately. Lovely fresh food and great choice. Reasonably priced, and good ales and wine. A definate recommendation! tantan - 7 May 2010 00:01 |
| Glad to see that in the nearly two years since my last visit they have stopped chilling the Harveys (and presumably the other bitters) to freezing point. That was my only complaint before so all is now good. There was a good mixed crowd on the Saturday evening I was there and though busy the service way good and friendly and we had a very pleasant evening. A good pub. gdm - 4 Apr 2010 19:00 |
| Called in here one weekday lunchtime recently and thought it would make a great local. Reasonably priced menu and good beer - Doom Bar, Harveys, Youngs and one other as reported below. £3.10 a pint is a tad pricey but a sign of the times I think - with a letter explaining that the responsibility lies with the Chancellor posted on the wall. Several connected rooms laid out around the central bar, varying from stained board floor to tiles to carpet. A couple of flat screens on the wall, pub games & friut machines in one area, a number of sofas in another and cottage style tables in another set for lunches. Very friendly bar staff and customers. It was quietish when I was there but got the impression it could get quite busy in the evenings. A good local trade judging by the newspaper headline cuttings on the wall, supposedly referring to certain regulars. I could definitely get quite comfortable here - a proper pub. sussexred - 1 May 2009 17:44 |
| Highly rated since taken over by South African Landlord about a year ago. Good food,with budget or gourmet options,friendly bar staff and well kept beer. Youngs,Harveys and Doombar are especially good at the moment,I am told ,however I am a Stella drinker. Great juke box. Friday,Sat anbd Sunday afternoon are quite busy but supportable even for an old fart like me. Presently rated best pub ( for me) in the Tonbridge area. Good mix of drinkers and upmarket locals. baltitowers - 20 Feb 2009 14:27 |
| Busy but friendly on Saturday evening. The staff were attentive and helpful and all was good. The one question I have is: Why are they chilling the real ales? I was warned that the Harveys was as cold as a lager. The barman gave me a taste of the Finchcocks. It was icy too so I went fot the Harveys. When it had warmed up a bit it was good but it was a bit offputting. gdm - 21 Jul 2008 11:47 |
