Great Pub in Tonbridge

You’re going to love our pub.

It really comes alive in the summer months. Our front-and-back beer gardens are spot-on for gathering your friends, ordering a cornucopia of dishes (“pop them anywhere, mate”) and tucking into sociable suppers in the sunshine.

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 (especially in spring & summer) 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.

Our Bedrooms

Whether you’re weekend away-ing for business or pleasure, you’ll find our beautiful bedrooms are the best place to stay  in Tonbridge.

Food & Drinks

Traditional pub classics, light bites, seasonal sharers – oh, and our Sunday roasts are blooming lovely too.

Father’s Day 2025
15th June

This is the one day a year that Dad hangs up his BBQ tongs and expects (quite rightly) a full Sunday roast – with all the trimmings.

And goodness me, there’s no way you’re cooking all that. So, let our chefs peel the spuds and baste the meat – all you’ve got to do is book a table (we’ll even pop the Champers).
