The Man Of Kent - Tonbridge and Malling

We traveled from London and the journey was well worth it. Unfortunately, we couldn't sit outside due to the rain, but the meal was fantastic. The service was friendly and prompt, and the portions were very generous - we ended up taking some of the vegetables home in a container. We tried a few different roast options and found the pork to be delicious, though the beef was a bit tough. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, and the pale ale and bitter were excellent - it's no surprise that CAMERA approved. Even the ice cream and cheesecake were delightful. We would definitely come back again.

We arrived to a vibrant busy restaurant and was ushered to our table by a very attentive waitress. The food being delivered to the other tables was well presented and inviting. Try the venison or cottage pie; excellent value with just the right portions. Clearly they have a top drawer chef on board.

Booked for Sunday lunch, sat in the garden and it was great service, great food and a lovely setting. So disappointed that we were charged £14.50 for veggie lasagne as the veggie alternative to Sunday roast. You don’t get any extra’s, salad, garlic bread etc because it is. Sunday. The exact same meal appears on the regular menu for £10.80. When I questioned this as I went to pay the bill, the young chap just looked embarrassed shrugged his shoulders, he asked a more senior member of staff to explain and she just said she didn’t make up the rules and that there was a set price on a Sunday. This explanation isn’t good enough. You just cannot charge 33% more for a meal on one day of the week!

This pub is the friendliest and most welcoming around, with great food and a very dog-friendly atmosphere. It was our first visit in a while, but we can't wait to go back.

I discovered this place while stopping for a quick pint and absolutely loved it. The pub has a wonderful atmosphere, and the outdoor seating area overlooking the river is fantastic. I will definitely be returning for a meal.
