Best Gastro Pubs in Tonbridge

This has always been our favourite pub - you will see from many previous reviews and we have spent birthdays, Christmas and other special occasions here. We booked for Father’s Day and I have to say I was really disappointed with the food. My first concern was the smell of frying as we entered through the door - and unfortunately this was then realised when the food was served. The frickles which are a family fave were joined with the chicken and they were so hot from the deep fat fryer that we couldn’t eat them for 10 minutes I also ordered the chicken Milanese which again was so deep fried that it was atomic hot and I didn’t start eating it for 10/15 mins. This was being served with dauphinoise - well no it was served with sliced potatoes (maybe 2 new size) My husbands roast was nice but where has the extra special Yorkshire pudding gone with the extra gravy. I feel that it may have changed hands and I would love to see the old standard of food back.

I took my dad there as a treat for father's day. Good choice of food, really tasty and good value for money. Staff were friendly and helpful

Very friendly pub. Great service and food was delicious.

Very very nice cosy country pub with pricey but excellent food. Book early as it’s popular.

We absolutely loved our visit to The Hawkenbury. Lovely venue and delicious food. Roast beef was beautiful and was a hit with all of us. Really lovely friendly staff - will definitely be returning!
