Great Pub in Tonbridge

You’re going to love our pub.

Cosy, candle-lit corners beckon you in for a swift half after a welly-walk, or for a full-blown feast. A warm welcome, cockle-warming comfort foods, and plenty of good old fashioned hospitality await you.

The bar is usually bustling too. Our pumps are primed with premium local Kentish ales, and cool craft-y beers – oh, and we shake up a cracking cocktail too (if we do say so ourselves). Wines from around the world are the icing on the cake.

Head Chef Samuel cooks up a storm with his signature dishes, brilliant bar snacks, and perfectly cooked classics. And our Sunday roast (including a colossal sharing roast) is spot-on too.

Nine super-comfy rooms await upstairs. These newly renovated rooms are perfect for weekends away – with breakfast in bed (of course) snuggled up under a feather-y soft duvet.
