Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Foresters Arms
Corner pub, and Shepherd Neame's fixture in Tonbridge for many years. Two rooms: a L-shaped bar with a few small, high tables and the pool table at the far end, and a side room with a better mix of furniture; both with a pleasant light feel. Walls and ceilings in both parts redecorated with an eclectic range poster, adverts, stickers, maps and just about anything else flat and colourful that will stick. Pool, bar billiards and a compact but colourful rear patio garden. Master Brew and Whitstable Bay Pale (£5.20) from two of the three handpumps on this revisit.

Strongers . left this review about Foresters Arms
The Foresters is a U shaped pub with a pool table and dartboard to the right rear and another dartboard in the front right corner. In the left rear is a bar billiards table that was covered during my recent Friday evening visit. I spotted at least one television that is used to show the advertised live sport. This screen was off during my visit in favour of some background music. On Sundays there is an advertised meat raffle before Boogie Bingo, whatever the hell that is! The bar was stocked with the usual array of Shepherd Neame choice draught products and I counted six hand pumps. Two of these were unused with Whitstable Bay and Master Brew being both double up on the remaining four hand pumps.
I spotted a jumbrella out the back which suggested that there is a beer garden, but I did not visit.
The ten or so locals in attendance seemed harmless enough, but the young barmaid that served me obviously did not want to be there.
