The best restaurants serving British food in Medway Tonbridge and Malling South East

I booked a bar table online intending to have a few cocktails and some sharing plates with my boyfriend just before Christmas. Unfortunately we didn't have a great experience, and it's nothing to do with the place itself (the decor is nicely done), the food (which I'd heard was really tasty) or the drinks....its all to do with the staff. Not one of them welcomed us, no-one smiled, no-one acknowledged us...one girl was so snooty and rude, I just couldn't believe it. Going out is expensive, and is a treat for many. If you're working in a service environment then you have to make your customers feel welcome and spoilt, otherwise they will go elsewhere. Don't make it feel like we're doing you a favour! We had 2 drinks and left without ordering food. A real shame as we were looking forward to it, but we went to Indi18 and had a lovely meal. Their staff cannot do enough for you. Perhaps the Verdigris staff should pop in and observe!

This place has gone downhill rapidly, we (was) regulars to this pub, not anymore as it’s over run by dogs! And dog owners who let their dogs lick tables that are supposed to have food served them. The interior is terrible and tables are now all stick and furniture is older than my Nan ! This should be known as the ‘dog cafe. It isn’t clean & is in need of a good re-vamp. Shocking is putting it politely!

Only one beer, poor service and stopped serving before 10 pm, unfortunately I made the same mistake twice. Don’t be me!

The staff were friendly and helpful. Dairy free options are available for coffees. However, it is a struggle to get a dairy free/ gluten free item to eat. I ended up getting a cereal bar, when everyone else gets cake.
