The Blue Anchor - Tonbridge and Malling

I stopped by after work for drinks and food and enjoyed a delicious steak meal with a few pints. The atmosphere was fantastic and the staff were very friendly. The landlady, Michelle, was also very welcoming. I will definitely be returning.

Our local let us down so we took a chance there would be room for us. We received a warm welcome and a choice of eating in a crowded noisy bar or empty restaurant. The restaurant was quieter. We ordered starters and a main course each. Portion sizes proved to be beyond our capacity to consume. Food arrived on warm plates (bliss) and was well cooked. Our five a day were in evidence. With hindsight we shouldn’t have ordered the starters as we couldn’t finish the meal, but we did enjoy it immensely. We will be going back no starters next time.

Wow, food here is amazing and what a lovely welcome we received. The Pub/ Restaurant has a nice character about it. We had choice of sitting in bar area or in restaurant. We chose to sit in restaurant. We had not booked, just turned up and there was plenty of room. We arrived about 7.45pm and had a really nice, leisurely supper leaving at 9.45pm. I had burger with blue stilton and salad. Wife had duck rolls with salad and hoisin sauce. Both were very tasty and nicely cooked.

Birthday Sunday afternoon, very busy when we arrived but no problem got some drinks and sat outside till everyone turned up , good selection of beers and lagers in my opinion, we all then sat down in the pub and the fun began, all the food turned up nice and hot and plenty on the plate everyone enjoyed the food and service was great, and for me the best prawn cocktail I’ve ever had , definitely worth a visit and we will definitely be going back again…..

We had heard that the food was very good. So with few pubs were open tonight so went walked the 100 yards down the lane. After we had ordered we were told it would be 30 minutes. After one and a quarter hours we got up, paid for our drinks and left. Another couple were waiting even longer. This was appalling. So disappointing. And yet this pub keeps going. Why?
