Tonbridge
I came to the Hawkenbury after a 40 mile bike ride, so my review might be slightly skewed!
Best things about the Hawkenbury:
- Massive menu. You're completely spoiled for choice here: mixed grill, surf and turf, fillet steaks, local pies and much, much more.
- Decent, local bottled ale. I can't remember what it was called, but it was brewed in Staplehurst and it was pretty delicious!
- Friendly staff. We were practically the only ones in the pub, but still, the bar staff were nice and looked after us well.
- They serve food between 2.30pm and 7pm on Saturday! One of the few pubs in the area that does this.
Not so good things about the Hawkenbury:
- The menu may be massive, but the quality of food could be better IMHO. I paid £20 for my fillet steak. It was good, but not great (a bit overcooked, that's all).
- Location. It's a bit off the beaten track!
- Decor/Ambience. Less Gastropub and more Match of the day. A great place to watch the football i imagine, but not somewhere you would take your parents.
