I was driving past, so I couldn't really see the details.<br /><br />Anonymous, what is going on in Hadlow? If a pub like the Harrow is up for sale, because no-one can make a go of it, then something is serious wrong. Shepherd Neame seem to be experiencing a high turn-over of tennents in their tied houses, but they've obviously given up on the Harrow.<br /><br />I also noticed the Prince of Wales closed, with some sort of building work going on. Any idea what's going on with his one?<br /><br />The Rose Revived has reverted to a pub again, after a spell as a curry house. Anyone been in to see what it's like?Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-83849431272768735832014-06-15T05:22:39.038+01:002014-06-15T05:22:39.038+01:00No contest!

Am planning a walk-about, of some of the pubs in south Tonbridge, just to see what's changed locally.<br /><br />I believe the four pubs you mentioned are owned by a Tonbridge-based outfit called Pendry Inns. Can't find out much about them on-line, but have heard mixed reports from various people.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-82087369248061857952014-06-13T22:54:23.389+01:002014-06-13T22:54:23.389+01:00Last time I went to the Forester's the kitchen...Last time I went to the Forester's the kitchen wasn't being used.

I don't work in Tonbridge, so consequently am rarely in the town of a lunchtime.<br /><br />The Chequers and the Man of Kent, both used to serve food at lunchtimes, but I'm not sure they still do. Your customer could try the Primrose, at the top of Pembury Road, or the Cardinal's Error. The Forester's may even do meals at lmidday, although it's not a pub I'd recommend to the older generation. (I include myself here!).<br /><br />Town pubs serving food at lunchtime, seem to be a dying breed; as are many pubs in general.
