Great Pub in Tonbridge

You’re going to love our pub.

It really comes alive in the colder months. With roaring open fires to warm your cockles, the best seasonal foods, hearty red (and bold buttery white) wines – plus plenty of cosy nooks to snuggle up in.

The bar is usually bustling. Especially at Christmas time, when we welcome many merry-makers, festive feast-ers and people full of the joys of the season. 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.)

Head Chef Connor cooks up a storm, with his signature autumnal 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.
