The Man Of Kent in Tonbridge and Malling

Great beer, sat outside by the stream, really nice place to have a beer and meet friends. Watch your head in the bar, low ceilings!

Bit too late for food 2pm in week , but sunny ,building is gorg, the setting is gorg, friendly people can't go wrong really.but most of all its what you make it :-)

We stopped for coffee. Thought we might eat there, however a lack of gluten free meant it was a no! Examples, prawn cocktail, soup without bread or crutons, couldn't even have the chips! Such a shame, coffee was good though.

Stopped off here to have lunch on the way to our hotel. As vertically challenged people we found the low cellings to our liking!My husband was very happy to have a pint of Harvey's as its not available were we live.We ordered burgers which were really tasty, overall the service was great and enjoyed our lunch.Outside there's a lovley little river along side we spotted fish in!

Lovely little pub. Fantastic on a hot day for sitting alongside the river and watching the abundance of fish swimming right up to the end. Meals are very nice and reasonably priced.

Sat outside, as pub was full with people enjoying Sunday lunch. Very pleasant sitting by the river. Nice pub and nice setting.

Really nice staff, they were very friendly and helpful. And the food was really nice, plus a great location

Ordered a honey roasted vegetable tartlet with herb topping as well for a Sunday lunch.The meal was disappointing unfortunately with almost no honey flavour coming through which is like ordering cheesy chips but the cheese being tasteless. The vegetables were good and the tomato sauce accompanied it well.As for the price this is where the other star was unfortunately dropped due to being £13.50 for what realistically was a bowl of veg and some veg on the side with a little bit of pastry. I think a more reasonable price of £9.50 would be acceptable.The pastry on the other hand was well cooked with a firm structure.Servcie was friendly and prompt and the riverside setting created a nice ambience.

A pint of prawns and a Cashel Blue please. What a beautiful period pub. Set besides the river way, the Man of Kent looks beautiful. Enter and duck, the low ceilings may be quirky, but they are all character. Something many modern pubs lack.Staff are salt of the earth and the locals are lovely. The menu was surprisingly modern, offering a summer excerpt with plenty of zingy Asian inspired dishes. There is always the traditional section to fall back on if you don’t feel adventurous.The food is superb, the half pint of prawns (I opted for a starter portion size) was sublime. So fresh and tactile. The cheese selection of the cheese board was fantastic. The creamiest cheeses I’ve ever tasted.A lovely pub packing plenty of character, beautiful views, lovely people and interesting pub food.

Sat outside by the river and enjoyed a very nice lunch sitting in the glorious sunshine. A beautiful quaint pub dating back to 1588. Welcoming and friendly, just watch your head on the beams when inside.
