We had not eaten at the Wheelwrights for two or three years so our visit was very much a test of…read morethe new management and chef. A friendly welcome soon made us relax and having been shown to out table we were given the menu which is not your normal 'pub grub'. Wide selection of interesting food with steak a speciality on Wednesday nights. The food was all freshly prepared and well worth the wait excellent quality. Reasonably priced wine list and superb puds we will return

21 March 2012 My husband and I visited the Wheelwrights last…read moreSunday for Mothers Day with my daughter and grand-daughter. Our table was booked for 2.15 pm and the place was heaving, absolutely packed. We had a fantastic meal, my daughter and I had the open lasagne which was squash and goats cheese with a pesto sauce I could eat that every day of the week it was heavenly, my daughter thought the same. My husband opted for the roast rib of beef and said it was really tasty, lovely bit of beef. We had chocolate fondants and bread and butter pudding for desserts which were also well above par. All in all (husband also said it was the best pint he had drunk for a very long time) we had a really enjoyable mothers day meal and we felt good value for money with quality ingredients, not frozen ready meals bought in like some pubs dish up. 6 August 2011 Had a really nice meal which we both enjoyed, nice touch having the home made bread and home churned butter. Lovely homely country pub atmosphere (and just love the hops hanging from the beams!), all the staff friendly and helpful. My husband happy with selection of beers The pud was really delicious. Will definitely be back, want to have all three courses next time!

I see most of the reviews for this place are a decade-plus old, so I am writing this one to update…read moreYelpers. The Plough is a lovely country pub between Leigh and Hildenborough. The interior is everything an English pub should be, with dark, ancient wooden beams broken up by expanses of whitewashed plaster, intimate seating nooks perfect for conversation over pints, an iron stove with a fire for chilly days, and an expansive outdoor seating area for enjoying temperate ones. Bullseye glass in some of the windowpanes and other subtle touches hint at the centuries that this pub has stood. There is a car park (American translation: parking lot) so you can park easily, or there are some lovely public paths through the verdant countryside (AllTrails is a good reference for navigating these). There are picnic tables in front, but I'd recommend forgoing them in favor of the outdoor space in back: a good-sized lawn with lovely views, and a playground for any little ones. Locals remember that the Plough had a rep for pretty mediocre food, a rep that is reflected in the more elderly reviews here on Yelp. I'm here to tell you that the chef has breathed new life into this kitchen, producing a delightful admixture of world cuisines and traditional British favorites, often with a modern twist. Our party enjoyed the Thai Curry Chicken, the Mutton Burger, and the Bangers and Mash; our experience was uniformly superb. Craft local ales and ciders are available, along with mass-market beer for those who dare not try the unfamiliar. A variety of wine selections are also available by the glass. Service was friendly, helpful, and cheerful. The hours here are a bit limited (only open 3 days per week, as of this writing), so check their website to ensure that they will be open to accommodate you before setting out. I'll be back, and I'd recommend it to you, too.

Beautiful old pub,in powdermill lane. Lots of beams, open fires. difficult to find but well worth…read morethe effort. Wonderful beer, wonderful food, and a lovely old barn next to it which can be used for parties weddings etc.

As i am someone who drinks real ale it has to be said that there are not that many places in Hadlow…read morethat do a good job for a good price. Though there are other pubs they are more expensive (with one never having any real ale at all!) The Two Brewers is located in the heart of Hadlow itself. a short walk up form the shops and you can't miss the place! Those that know their real ale pubs and companies will automatically know one thing from the outside- that this is a Harvey's pub. Upon walking through the doors you turn right into what you would think to be a small bar. Quite the opposite in fact! The owners, Chris and Sue Snape will immediately give you a warm welcome (as will Molly, the pub dog!) The pub itself reminds me of the traditional pubs- the way a pub should be. Let's be honest now, most pubs these days have gotten a little carried away with the deco! The Two Brewers however has achieved something that, pub wise at least, is hard to achieve: remain traditonal but still have that clean fresh look to it. The local's are friendly and very easy to talk to and the pub has nice easy atmosphere to go with it. What is suprising is the amount of beers avaliable- a minimum of two beers on pump at any point (all Harveys, naturally!) with many more bottled beers behind the bar. Make no mistake about it, half the village now come here and its no suprise why! the beers average at around a reasonable £2.90 for the average beer. Remember though that prices will vary according to strength (ABV) but that's how most pubs operate. Foodwise The Two Brewers do a good menu at a reasonable price. The menu changes from time to time, of course and the food is cooked well. The best thing to do is ask at the bar of course! All in all The Two Brewers is a well run pub, with Chris and Sue running a tight ship. I can see this being the busiest pub in Hadlow for a long while to come!

What more could you want from your local? Chris and Sue have given us great beer, superb food,…read morewonderful friendly atmosphere, pub games and a liberal attitude towards closing time! And I haven't even mentioned Molly the pub's resident poodle who is just adorable. A perfect place to come and unwind.

I was told to stay away from the food as the quality was rather low. So I can't comment on that but I did hear it from a few different locals. Or maybe they were hiding a gem...who knows? :) Would go back for drinks no problem. Would probably try the food if I had enough drinks.

Lest I become a snob and look further down my nose at this soon to be hooded fellow, I shall move on to writing about the actual place It's a Wetherspoons pub and so I suspect you'll get the idea of what it has to offer very quickly. The building was formerly the main Post Office building in Tonbridge, then a Quasar laser game, then the heaving alchoholic monstricity that is the pub it still is today. Cheap and soulless are the buzzwords of the Wetherspoons franchise and well they do them. Many a night I've lost under endless rounds of black sambuca chased by gallons of unwholesome rums and whiskeys. Never a stable foot leaves this place and nor should it for who would want to remember what lies outside..Tonbridge.

Dogs welcome. Under new ownership and a major tarting up has began, though some of the chintzy dining tables and chairs have yet to make it to the bonfire. Book tables in conservatory overlooking the garden for the best view. Overall, a pleasant country pub, with lots of imaginative twists.

Son no.1 had the home made steak burger, which came with a decent salad. Excellent and very herby. No 2 loaded on the carb, opting for the bread basket and enormous chips, the size of Jenga pieces. My belly of pork ws succulent with a crisp crackling served with black pudding wrapped in mash. The other half went for the two meat roast and was demolished with a very decent Rioja. The boys were defeated by the enormous slabs of gooey chocholate brownie cake. Well worth a visit and am looking forward to paying a return visit when the weather improves and we can enjoy the large pretty garden. A la carte, bar and kids' menus.
