Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Cardinals Error

Attractive old building which must once have been out in the countryside but which now looks rather out of place in a housing estate on the outskirts of Tonbridge. Massive chimney with impressive fireplaces either side, demonstrating its origins as two semi-detached cottages, and only converted to a pub in 1946. Two main rooms - with a curiously small bar counter shared between them - plus a more modern extension (although built in a sympathetic style) housing the pool table. Reasonable-sized beer garden with a small children's play area. On the real ale front, just Tribute (£4.90) available from one of three handpumps on this first visit for eight years. Interesting picture of Thomas Wolsey on the pub sign, and famously haunted by Nellie and 'The Old Gentleman'.
