Hawkenbury, Tonbridge · Est. in the Heart of Kent
Real ales, honest food and warm beds in the Kentish countryside. Whether you're joining us for Sunday lunch or a few nights away, The Hawkenbury always has the fire lit.
Tucked along Hawkenbury Road between the hop fields and hedgerows of the Weald of Kent, The Hawkenbury is exactly what a great British pub should be — unpretentious, welcoming, and full of character.
We serve hearty, seasonal food from our kitchen, pour a well-kept selection of cask ales and local wines, and offer comfortable bed and breakfast rooms for those who'd rather not rush away.
Whether it's a weekday supper, a birthday celebration or a weekend break exploring the High Weald, we'll make you feel at home from the moment you arrive.
Cask ales, craft beers, local gins and a carefully chosen wine list. Our bar is the beating heart of The Hawkenbury — pop in for a pint and stay for the evening.

Enquire Now →"Absolutely wonderful evening. The food was superb — the beef shin was perfectly cooked and the atmosphere is everything a country pub should be. Already planning our return."
"Stayed two nights for a walking weekend and couldn't have been more comfortable. Breakfast was generous and the staff went out of their way. The kind of place you tell all your friends about."
"Best Sunday roast we've had in years. Proper portions, good gravy, Yorkshire puds that actually rise. We drove 40 minutes and every mile was worth it. A real gem of a pub."
Walk-ins always welcome at the bar — but for dining and overnight stays, we recommend getting in touch. It's always worth booking ahead, especially at weekends.
