"The Old jail in Biggin Hill is a genuinely old English pub with excellent food and a good selection of drinks. It has seating for eating and drinking inside and out, the garden is quite large and also accommodates some play equipment. It also has a reasonably sized car park but poor mobile reception for some networks so a walk up the road may be needed to get a signal! The bar welcomes you with an open fire on a cold night. The name probably came from the practice of occasionally holding prisoners there on their journey from London to Maidstone (a two day journey by horse and carriage)."

We had a beautiful roast dinner in here today. Really impressed and the staff were so friendly. Definitely returning!

The most egregiously disrespectful pub to its neighbours when playing its 'music ' during the summer I 've ever known. Until that changes, it cannot be considered in any other way.

Fantastic “Inn” to visit. The food is exceptional especially the Steak. Lovely atmosphere. So many beautiful plates, pictures from the War years. It’s a must and cannot wait to go back.

I last visited this pub in September 22 and the food was very good. This time it was just OK. The halloumi burger and fries weren't nearly as good as before were luke warm. The oreo cheesecake was in a glass, rather than as a slice which meant the ratios were all wrong. I hoped this would be our new regular for special meals, but now I'm not so sure.
