The P&J is a great little find.
Nice decor, pleasant atmosphere and a fab barmaid/landlady, I'm not a terribly good judge of ages these days.
Also Tonbridge Ale has to be the best bitter I have ever tasted. Really.
Can not recommend high enough.

This is a strange one.
I went there about 6 months ago on a Thursday night, to find just two people in the bar. One of them was the barman, a track-suited type, who along with the other punter were smoking at the bar. Both pleasant enough, but still a tad shocked to see this.
It may have changed since then judging by the postings below, but will need to try again when I'm in Tonbridge next.

The Somerhill is a locals pub - something which I feel is sadly missing in these days of chain-pubs full of youngsters (ie ANYBODY younger than me!).
A nice community-centric boozer with regulars who obviously enjoy the place and I can't blame them. I was a first time punter last week and was more than pleasantly surprised.
It also has bands on a Friday, whilst a bit hit and miss depending upon who's playing nevertheless is a commendable thing in these times.
Not really sure sure who the landlord you refer to is, as I was only aware of the landlady who really is a larger than life character, so cannot comment upon the remark made in the posting below.

The Somerhill, Tonbridge
Perhaps the criminal record 'helenika' is referring to may be Black Lace's ' Agadoo' on the juke box ........
