We went for Sunday lunch and ate in the bar (same menu) as we had our dog with us. Food was excellent, very nice presentation, good quality ingredients and tasted great. Service was friendly and good. The whole place was as smart and clean. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going again.

I was taken to the Kentish Hare for a birthday Sunday lunch. The food at this restaurant was very high quality. I had yellowfin tuna tartare starter which came with watermelon, avocado and orange ponzu, it was divine. For a main course my son-in-law and I shared a roast beef dish and I finished with Bramley apple crumble. My wife and daughter had fishcake followed by roast lamb and then Amalfi lemon parfait. The main course came with a selection of perfectly cooked vegetables. There was a good and varied wine menu and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. I had the non-alcoholic passion fruit martino shown in the picture. It was all delicious. The portions were generous and the service was friendly, efficient and quick. The atmosphere was relaxed and we could see the chefs working in the open kitchen. I will be returning frequently.

Saw this recommendation on the Michelin website as a Bib Gourmand. High quality food at a cheaper price point than a Michelin Star. We went for a Sunday Lunch. Place was very busy and we booked online a while in advance to secure a spot. Walk-ins are welcome but at busy periods you might be disappointed in not getting a seat. Decor and atmosphere were very nice. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice and cosy pub. Of course, the food was excellent. We had 1 minor issue with a hair in one of our starters which is why I rated it 4 stars. Stuff like this happens even in the best of places. I would go back as I think this is a one off. Apart from that, everything was great. Portion sizes for the roast were generous and the side of veg was huge. The quality of the food is amazing, everything is fresh and flavourful. You can really tell that they use high quality ingredients to get started. Plating is very pretty too if you are into that. We paid £40 per person for a 3 course Sunday lunch. After drinks and service charge it was just over £210 for a group of 4.

An excellent meal with fantastic service. A treasure in Kent. Extremely creative menu, without the fuss. My wife had the monk fish and I had the deer - and they were to die for.

Food is always of a high quality and is the best Turkish food I have found in the UK! All the staff are friendly and attentive. Also, they do an NHS discount too which is a massive bonus! We eat here often, their lunch and dinner menus are brilliant. I have also done their bottomless, which was very generous with the booze!

Really enjoyed this place. It was a little quieter than last time I visited which suited because we could have a conversation. Mixed views on the food, I really enjoyed mine, others thought it was just OK. I think menu is unnecessarily confusing. I'm sure i'll go again,

The best Turkey 🇹🇷 restaurant in the area. Actually I could rate it as the best restaurant in Tonbridge. Service - amazing, super friendly and very keen to help. Food - be aware the portions are very big. We could take home what it was left (probably about 1/2 of the food). Atmosphere - really pleasant.

Nice place with a lot of effort towards aesthetic and atmosphere. Service pretty good although a bit slow to get the food out. Food was really tasty, but I feel the portions are a tad small for the premium prices. My fish and chips was 18 pounds, with half the plate taken up by a plate of tartare sauce (needs some capers). I also noticed the options for vegetarians and vegans are quite limited to ‘healthy’ food, with simpler vegetable-based recipes rather than including things like plant-based burgers, etc, which people find a bit more of a treat. Overall though it’s a fab place for meat eaters and I’ll come again!

Great food, super friendly staff and divine coffee that I will be back for. We were riding our bikes and decided to stop in for dinner and made the right choice. We were sitting outside and really didn't want to leave but we had to go home to feed our animals. :)) We will definitely be back!

Had a really relaxed and enjoyable meal here at the weekend. Staff all very helpful and there was a good variety of food on the menu. I am dairy free and there were plenty of options, including a delicious vegan chocolate mousse for dessert. I love that you can order a larger portion from starter menu for your main meal.

Had a fantastic family lunch. It's all been freshly decorated, and looks fantastic. The service was polite, friendly and attentive, a very good menu - something for everyone. The food came quickly, good portion size and was delicious. Going back gain in a month's time as they have function rooms upstairs for a celebration. Cannot recommend this place enough :)

Beautiful tastefully styled traditional pub with super food and surprisingly good accommodation. Easy to find from the train station and well situated amongst the common made for a wonderful 3 day stay. Room was spacious and well equipped with modern bathroom and decent toiletries. Breakfast was exceptional and portions generous too. We also ate an evening meal one night and that was very good too. Lovely to see dogs welcomed and the effect was to accentuate what was already a cosy atmosphere. Can’t recommend enough - great value to stay and overall a very enjoyable experience

Our family have been customers of the Mount Edgcumbe for the last 11-years. I would highly recommend their hospitality, food, wine and beer; we are very fortunate to have such a wonderful facility on our doorstep. I cannot recommend a pub/restaurant/hotel higher than this establishment - great staff, beautiful facility and very welcoming!

Thackeray’s in Tunbridge Wells is an absolute gem that delivers an exceptional dining experience. From the moment you arrive, the beautiful venue exudes elegance and charm, making it the perfect setting for any occasion. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right balance of sophistication and comfort. The food is nothing short of outstanding. We started with the halloumi, which was cooked to perfection – crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. For the main, the fillet steak was a true masterpiece – tender, juicy, my partner had the ribeye which I must say was bursting with flavour and a bigger portion but both were cooked to perfection medium rare. It was paired with sides that complemented the dish flawlessly a truffle jus. To finish, we shared the tart Tatin dessert, which was nothing short of heavenly. The caramelized apples, buttery pastry, and creamy accompaniment of brand and plain cream made it an unforgettable end to the meal with rum and and raisin ice cream 😋 The service was impeccable throughout, with staff who were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a fantastic experience. Thackeray’s is not just a restaurant but an experience, where every detail is considered to perfection. Whether for a special celebration or simply a treat, this is a place that truly stands out. I can’t recommend it highly enough – absolutely five stars!

We enjoyed the food at this restaurant, as it was of very good quality. However, we couldn't help but feel that the portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side, considering the price tag. I personally left a bit hungry. The set lunch for 2, along with a bottle of water, all together priced at 99 pounds, felt quite steep. Additionally, finding parking in the area proved to be quite difficult.

The food was wonderful, the service was top notch and the location was beautiful. However I give it an overall 4 star as I felt sometimes that the dishes were a tad small for the price tag. We were 2 people and our bill came to £300 and we only had 2 x the chef’s tasting menu and 2 glasses of wine (not even a bottle) as we were driving. The raspberry soufflé is one of the best I’ve ever tried and definitely the one that will make this visit memorable.

Love our lunch and the staff were all very friendly! I made a note upon booking mentioning it's for my husband's birthday, they left a birthday card on the table when we arrived and a little cake with candle 🕯️ that's really sweet! We were already talking about visiting again to try out other dishes ❤️

Lovely family run, cosy ‘proper’ pub. Good selection of bitters, lagers, wine and everything in between. Lindsay and Simon have done a fantastic job bringing the pub back from the dead and turning it into a roaring success. Photo is a sample of the menu in February.

We met up with some local friends here for a Sunday Roast while we’re over from Australia. The team here are absolutely amazing! They really made us all feel welcomed. The food was to die for, I love that the trimmings are all served share style. But the meat and Yorkshire pudding was on your own plate. Very flavoursome, great serving size. I’ll be visiting again before I leave to go home! Highly recommended!

Was staying in an Airbnb and had a little walk around then drove to The Dovecote Inn. From the outside, it looks super cosy and a bit of a hidden gem which it exactly was just that! Nice warm welcome, plenty of drinks to choose from and loved the feel and style inside. I came here for lunch and if I'm around the area I will most certainly be coming in or at least a recommendation to others who I know will appreciate this! Easy to park, lots of spaces at the back, can imagine in the summer it is a nice place to sit outside. Reckon evenings at the weekends would be nice also! Solid A***** LDT x

Easily one of my favourite unfussy but oh so lovely pubs, pity it is so far from where I live. Still it was worth the 8km walk from Tonbridge. Simon and his wife seem to know all the locals and are warm and welcoming. Plenty of ales on tap, a few ciders too ALL straight from the barrels behind the bar (gravity fed). When it comes to the food, those smells from the kitchen are authentic and perhaps the most wondrous gravy in the world, I kid you not, if I could I'd order a bowl of the stuff with a chunk of bread.

I came here for an anniversary meal and it didn't disappoint. Don't let the exterior pub-like look fool you. On the inside, it's a fine dining experience. Incredible food and service. The only reason it gets 3 stars for the atmosphere is because we went on a Monday which was very quiet. Will definitely be back for the tasting night which sounded excellent.

Our favourite spot in Kent! The Poet is consistently excellent: wonderful service, superb quality dishes The menu changes periodically depending on local produce availability, but is always exquisite, a real treat every time we go. I love that they offer a dog friendly table in the bar (if you ring ahead to book, and your doggo is well behaved) Garden is also lovely for a drink before/after food inside 👌 Highly recommend.

Get in quick before it gets a star. Service- relaxed but very professional Drink - well recommended Food - for £100 a head in London easily. Seriously superb food. The dishes take you on a journey the team design and deliver on. Went for a birthday, will now “have to go back” to regularly check quality.

Attended last night for birthday surprise and wasn't disappointed. The staff were very attentive throughout the evening. Head Chef Lee has created a menu which is a delight. The menu to make a decision which of the 5 starters & 6 mains to choice was extremely hard as I could and was tempted to have one of each. The food was as good as u can get the flavours were exquisite. The pairing of wine is a great idea. You will not be disappointed in booking here. Will be returning.

This was the first time we had been to this pub and was pleasantly surprised, very friendly staff, Sue was the Manager / owner, lovely lady and our waitress Poppy also very nice, we had a Sunday lunch, my partner had the Roast beef and I had the Nut Roast, beautifully presented on lovely hot plates, very nice veggies etc. We also had a dessert of cheese cake and Raspberry compote and cream. My partner had a real ale, (very nice indeed) I had a JTO. We had an Americano coffee to finish off the meal. We found that all the toilets were very clean and the hand dryers were the best we've seen/used anywhere. Plenty of things going on in the pub like a Jazz night and also tribute acts out in the garden most weeks usually at 4pm, no need to book. We will definitely be going back to some of those events. P

First time back to the George and Dragon for years, absolutely fantastic. It was a great welcome and we didn't feel out of place at all, the local beer is great and the food is amazing. We only popped in for a drink and a snack on our way home to see what it was like since the change of ownership but I can now say it will be a very regular stop, the best thing is it is within walking or staggering distance from home. Can't wait to try the Sunday lunch. Can honestly say that the Sunday lunch was worth waiting for. We have now had Saturday lunch here almost every week since.

Popped in for a refreshing pint of Tonbridge Easy Street Pale ale having walked 6k from Tonbridge. For a Wednesday 5pm, nice to see a few people in the pub and outside in the pub garden. Didn't have any food, but the menu looked good. It's a proper country pub and whilst I was probably the only one who walked there, there was a generous sized car park that most used. A couple of nice ales on tap and a lovely classic fee to the pub with the low beams and tasteful decoration. Aim to pop back another time and try out the food, but there are also music/quiz/other events the pub seems to advertise on a regular basis.
