When it started it was a good idea, excellent tapas food cooked by spanish and cool place to hang out. Now its too loud , too crowded and full of people who have just shopped at bluewater and want to show off their new clothes and aftershaves.

Unfortunately this pub is still 'cute' but has gone downhill from when I last went in there. Grubby glasses, slow to clear tables, usual locals propping up the bar, better off in the King and Queen......

Great pub, being going in here for years as mum lives local. Just changed hands (will miss the old landlady - great fun) and the new manager has a reputation for making a great pub, superb. It is a sports watching pub and always has been, the locals are great, have a lot of fun, and you will have had a great time by the time you left. The food has been a bit downhill of recent, but that has normally been mainly because the brewery hasn't despatched the food order or there has been staffing abscence and no cover arranged by the brewery.
On the whole I have had no problems with the food, but it's just about to get a whole load better. Let's hope the brewery let the manager control the food this time.....

Popped in for a pint on Tuesday night and to see if the pub has changed since the last landlady, and couldn't believe how warm and welcoming the new landlord and landlady are! The food was recommended by a local in the town as well as they have a top cook in there now. So I booked for Sunday lunch and today took the 'in-laws' down. The food was outstanding and was swiftly served and was beautifully presented. Roast Pork with freshly made succulent stuffing balls and a medley of vegetables ,with freshly made yorkshire puddings (nicked one off the 'in-laws' plate - thumbs up). And freshly made apple crumble for afterwards. Add to that good wine and decent ales, this is going to second home for me with excellent food, good service, and decent ales, and an atmosphere that will relax you and make you feel special. Didnt have a pool table or dart board , but that makes it more attractive to most.

Seem like some of the reviewers are a bit tipsy and drinking in a pub of a similar name? This isn't the same pub I was in on Saturday Night, Great atmosphere and good pub food, cosy feel and the ale stopped my nose going red! My suggestion to these reviewers is keep going in there and you will force any riffraff out, I have been here on a weeknight and there is less people there, why don't you go for a drink that night, the pub will always be a bit wild on a Saturday night, as is any pub, and if it isn't it will close soon enough. Between you and me, Edenbridge needs a lively pub, as the whole place is like a ghostown at night, they must all be in bed by 9.30pm.
Much better than it used to be and the food is of excellent quality.
Can't wait for my return to this fantastic pub.
