Another wonderful pub in the elite chain. I love that all the pubs have their own character & charm. This one had partridge murals around & a gorgeous fireplace. Food was delicious as always. A few options for vegetarian & gluten free requirements. Lovely outdoor area & slide for the kids.

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.

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!

A nice chill place for meet-ups and coffee. Unfortunately, there were no vegan or dairy-free options for savoury dishes (and for sweet-only a slice of fruit loaf which they said was milk-free), so I had a bag of crisps with my friends while they had nice toasties and cake for lunch. Would go again for coffee though.

Love this place! It's somewhere I'm happy to go into on my own. Tasty bacon rolls, toasted sandwiches, cakes (the best brownies) Lovely hot chocolate on a chilly day. It's welcoming. They also cater for functions. We had my daughters 50th birthday party here, we all had a good time, including the owners/staff. Thoroughly recommend!

We visited The Old Fire Station Café in Tonbridge on a Saturday morning and had a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and our dog was made to feel just as at home as we were, with free dog treats on offer! The coffee was excellent, and the breakfast was equally impressive – fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. If you’re looking for a dog-friendly spot with great food and coffee, this café is a gem. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to others!

Seems to be the only cafe in Hildenborough. I love the vibe of a local place in its lovely light olive green decor. Staff is helpful and at ease, and I felt relaxed enjoying my lunch. Food and drink are good overall, and prices lower than Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, which is a plus and I come here quite often even I am not a local resident.

HIGHLY recommend checking out this cafe! The staff are all so wonderful and were very accommodating to our party of 7 on a busy morning. The food and coffee are so delicious - a lovely English Breakfast to kick start our UK trip. Plus the atmosphere is beautiful, both inside and out

This coffee shop is a gem, offering fantastic iced coffee that's perfect for a hot day. Their lunch menu is delightful as well, making it an ideal spot for a quick bite or a leisurely coffee break. Highly recommended as a meeting point, whether you're catching up with friends or a grab and go coffee

I've been wanting to visit here for some time, but hadn't got around to it, I'm glad I did and will not leave it long before revising, it is a lovely cafe. The space outside to take our little dog was excellent. Service was certainly with a smile, but the food hits the spot. Toasted falafel and humus wrap was lovely but the Super Strawberry milkshake a glorious indulgent treat. Not just a treat for us but we also noted a group of workmen tucking into some breakfast baps and the bacon and egg varieties did look delicious. It is great to have a place like this in Hildenborough, clearly popular and deserved so.

A group of 6 of us stayed at the Barn this weekend and couldn’t recommend it enough. Deborah and Drew were extremely welcoming, friendly and the breakfasts were excellent. All rooms very comfortable, spacious and immaculately clean. Wonderful stay and look forward to coming back soon.

Me, my wife and young daughter (1 year old) loved staying here! The conservatory lounge was very inviting and relaxing (and it had a very handy sofabed for me!), and the bedroom was very cosy too (for my wife and daughter)! The bathroom was also great and nicely done. Drew and his wife were very accommodating, and we wanted for nothing during our stay. We loved saying hello to the chickens in the mornings! We''d definitely book again and recommend to others.

Absolutely perfect from all aspects! Very clean, quiet and a breakfast that I can describe as second to none! That banana yogurt...I will never forget! Derek and his wife made us feel at home and they are amazing hosts. Definitely will visit again!

Wonderful stay at the Barn, thanks to Drew and Deborah for being such good hosts, and for a delicious breakfast and chat each morning. Their space is so accommodating - lots of outside space to enjoy the roaming chickens, and each of the 3 rooms has its own couch and 'living room' space so they can be independently enjoyed by guests, or collectively as we did as a group. Look forward to returning for Black Deer festival in 2022! Highly recommended.

Did a mini pub crawl missus was driving so all OK tried The little brown jug first, as an observer looked like good food coming out but very pricey £23 for cod n chips I don't think so, went to The Greyhound next even more expensive and the food didn't look great tbh. On to the Plough excellent reception from the guy behind the bar really welcoming and friendly, good knowledge of the available ales and happy to give a small sample ( helped as I found a really nice ale). Menu reasonably priced we weren't really hungry so just had the open roast beef and horseradish sandwich with chips, both excellent, can't speak for the rest of the menu but we will be back soon to try a more substantial meal. The guy from behind the bar (used to work polehill nursery) and the other member of staff were super friendly and a credit to this pub, of the three pubs all within 5 mins of each other this is the one. A***

Delightful old pub in Leigh. Very welcoming host followed by a superb lunch. We drove there from Tonbridge, but it would make a great stop after a nice walk. Thoroughly recommend a visit here.

Della, Becky and the whole team at the Plough delivered an unforgettable wedding day for us in September. From our first meeting they made a very stressful experience seem like nothing was an issue or too much trouble putting us at ease throughout. The venue itself looked beautiful, rustic and elegant which is exactly what we had in mind. The food was exceptional and we had lots of choice for the day. The day itself ran like clockwork, even with them having to deal with a slight delay. Any extras we wanted I.e specific wines or a gazebo putting up was never too much trouble for them and they were very accommodating to all our wishes. Thank you!

Nice relaxed country pub tucked away down a country road with decent ale on tap and reasonable food options ( lovely roast beef open sandwich and good soup!) - stopped here for refreshments and light lunch on a walk. Nice garden out the back with a small play area. Closed on Saturdays for weddings

My husband and I got married at The Plough in April and could not have wished for a better experience. We loved the pub and barn from our first visit - it was perfect for us. The experience just kept getting better - the planners are incredibly organised, the staff on the day were so friendly, and THE FOOD. So many of our guests commented afterwards on how good the food is! The venue is beautiful, regardless of whether you get sun, rain or snow and they set everything up exactly as asked. I cannot recommend them enough and THANK YOU to the whole team for ensuring our special day was one we'll remember forever. We'll be back for our anniversay!

I walked into Kathmandu Valley and was immediately transported to the Himalayas. Not literally, such was the beauty of the Nepalese decor within. The service delivered by the staff member was humble, accommodating and caring. I loved the separate veggie section of the menu. The mix veggie starter was sublime and nicely presented. All food was great value and provided with care.

Very lovely place just by the station for a quick casual takeaway, lunch or dinner. Very friendly and efficient staff. They check all orders with everyone before going to the kitchen. There was good distance amongst tables and hand sanitizer station upon entrance and separate for each table. I also loved the hot water expanding towels in the end, which I nearly at thinking it was food. Food was very good! Chicken moms, coconut rice and mushroom biryani was delicious! Coconut rice had nice fluffy consistency, chicken momos were delicious and freshly made. Biryani had nice consistency and I liked the fact it was left mild for people to salt to their own taste. Mango lassi was also delicious! Atmosphere was good and great location just off the station by the high street. I highly recommend.

Good food. The chilli chicken starter was really delicious. The himalayan curry was almost pea green but it was really delicious. I wasn't keen on their bombay aloo but that could be personal taste, I found them too bland. Service was very good and prices were reasonable.

This is probably the best place to go for coffee in Tonbridge, I'm not been anywhere else in Tonbridge so I can't say anyone is better. What I would say is that this place is hard to beat in Tonbridge for speciality coffee. It serves I believe it's own bespoke blend by cast iron coffee, based in Sussex. The view out the front window of the castle is pretty good too. I have also been to its previous premises in Tonbridge which was the old fire station, both places serve excellent coffee. 'nuff said!

A great spot to enjoy the atmosphere in Tonbridge with a view of the castle and river just off the high street. I brought my family from Germany who had reservations about British food and the food they had changed their opinion completely. The service was wonderful and we felt very welcome. The coffee was great and the staff knowledgeable and helpful, so we all got exactly the drink we needed.
