Such a little gem to find! Despite us having confused the date we booked we were warmly accommodated by the team, even though it was a very busy evening! The food was delicious and the hosts were so welcoming. We will definitely be coming back!

One of the best meals we have ever eaten. Everything was fresh, served hot and absolutely delicious. The wasabi-mayo and crispy prawn bao bun with fresh mango was incredible. Best pan-asian food I've ever had.

We visited on a Thursday lunchtime to eat. A very friendly welcome and we were given a choice of tables to sit at. We ordered our drinks, were given menus and told they would bring our drinks to the table. The food menu was excellent and it was difficult to make a choice. We decided to share a starter and they kindly brought two plates. There were three female staff, all dressed neatly in black, who all provided an efficient and friendly service. All of our food was excellent and came promptly. The pub is very interesting with lots of nooks and crannies and a superb great hall above the bar. An extensive patio area to the rear.

The roast was decent, very nice gravy and veg, fortunately some mint sauce was found (a must!). Loved the little bees on the sticky toffee pudding and it tasted really good. Service was fast and friendly.

Another lovely walk around the castle, tea and scones in the cafe are lovely. Staff in village store very friendly and welcoming. My dog enjoys the visit...and the treats he is given!! Such a peaceful beautiful village..
Rating: 5 / 5
Beautiful little one street village. Despite living just a few miles away, I had never visited before so glad I got the opportunity to do so. Parking in the village is free, although on busier days it may be better to park at the castle. A nice cosy tearoom hides down one alley (they make great cake), and a lovely country pub is by the pedestrian entrance to the castle. The buildings themselves are gorgeous, the sort of buildings you would imagine an English village to look like. There's also a church you can visit, we were lucky enough to be the only people inside so it was very serene. Make sure you check out the village's namesake, tucked away down an alley so it's easy to miss! The view from the top is beautiful and looks put over fields. If you're as lucky as we were you'll also catch birds of prey flying overhead.

A lovely old village. I'm looking forward to the pub re-opening so I can return for lunch

Thank you to all the staff & landlord who made us feel extremely welcome. Fantastic traditional pub. Very dog friendly . Food, atmosphere people & staff brilliant. Fair prices for great food.
Rating: 5 / 5
Love it! - What a fabulous pub. We had Sunday lunch for 6 served family style, two roast shared in the centre of the table with plenty of trimmings. The beef rib was incredible and (not a usual fan of lamb) was absolutely delicious. Service was friendly, unhurried and cheerful even though they were unexpectedly down a couple of staff. Pub is small but thoughtfully decorated with a log burner and two of the most enormous but chilled pub dogs. A wonderful find....will be back for sure

Great pub, food and staff. Really nice ambience. Dropped in for a light lunch and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended; two of the best pub dogs you will ever meet!

Just stopped by on my cycle ride for a pint & some crisps, still, the young lady that served me did so with a lovely smile. Cute little pub, in peaceful surroundings & a chilled out atmosphere. There's seating outside at the front & beer garden to the rear. Will hope to return in the near future to try their food &, hopefully, give them five stars!

A great pub. Booked for a Christmas lunch with friends. We had the big table in the window by the fire. A really chilled atmosphere, brilliant food and very attentive staff. We had the Beef, Pork and Lamb sharing roasts which gave more than enough food for the 7 of us. Everyone commented on having such a pleasant afternoon.

The Plough and Barn at Leigh
Leigh Rd, Hildenborough, Tonbridge TN11 9AJ, UK | Wedding Venue P: 01732 832149
Rating: 4.7 (613) Price Level:
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!
Rating: 5 / 5
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

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.
Rating: 5 / 5
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 great meal. All 3 courses were tasty and well cooked. Perfect sized portions. Service was friendly but professional. Our waitress even pointed out the discretionary 10% that had been added on. First time I've had it mentioned. Normally it feels like they are trying to slip it in unnoticed. I will definitely be going back.

Lovely gastro pub, with typical dishes of the British cuisine. The pub has been renovated in early 2024 and it's wonderful! The staff is really polite and accommodating and it's a nice and cozy environment with a vast assortment of beers and ciders. They also have some good alcool free beers!

Rating: 4.6 (476) Price Level:
Quite a find. A pub that is busy midweek which has excellent service and a nicely priced lunch menu which isn't trying to be pretentious. They seem to do the sort of pub food people want to eat. The sandwiches were good and not over facing or overpriced. The bar had a smattering of chatty regulars and it was what I thing a local pub should be like. We enjoyed our lunch here and will be back.
Rating: 5 / 5
Great country pub with a mixture of local agricultural community and visitors from Hever Castle etc. There’s a large garden with kids play area which is great for families. As a traditional pub you can just turn up and drink but if you’re hungry the food is typical pub fare; good meals and healthy portions. You’ll certainly not leave hungry!
Rating: 5 / 5
Full of charm, staff are really good wholesome people. The food is amazing, real simple quality food executed well. Great selection of beers and an open fire. Would recommend highly for a pint or meal. Will definitely return time and time again when I’m in the area.

A huge thanks to all at the Kentish house. We had a great Sunday roast today. Our car broke down & we had to shelter in the pub waiting for rescue. As soon as our plight was known we were treated incredibly kindly. We were treated to some drinks & snacks paid for from the pocket of the chef & the brother of the land lady drove us to our car when the recovery vehicle suddenly arrived. It’s really humbling when you’re vulnerable & everyone steps up to help. What a super team, thank you

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, offering a cosy and relaxing environment. I recommend taking a table by the window to enjoy the views accross the park.

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

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

Very impressed. Went for a glorious Saturday morning stroll accompanied by our dog and had fabulous time. Ordered a beautiful cappuccino aswell as an expertly crafted bacon bap. Perfectly cut and cooked bacon and don’t even get me started on that bread roll. Remarkable and unbeatable to say the least. Will be back.
