We did not eat here as we had booked to eat nearby. We liked the open fire and were welcomed by the friendly dog 🐕 😉 The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was really lovely with a billiard table and sports TVs. Will definitely go back.

Not made Welcombe, terrible background music and the beer far too cold

The Black horse on Camden road is by far my favourite pub in Tunbridge wells. The staff are amazing, attentive and kind, T and Natty really go above and beyond for everyone to make sure every guest feels at home. There is such a community feel that is lost in so many places now. They host weekly events like Cheesey bingo, Quiz nights and have various live bands. Phats the gorgeous lab is often roaming around between tables, tent and pool table getting all the attention he can! I have had some of my favourite nights in this pub since moving to Kent and could not speak more highly! A true asset to Tunbridge wells.

Really disappointed with our visit last week, the pub was very dirty & the staff were unwelcoming. The toilets were really dirty & there was a very strong smell.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Black Horse Pub on a number of occasions for TW Fringe and also had an amazing time at a Stendo event. The staff were very accommodating and extremely friendly, which really added to the overall experience. Although it wasn't very busy during our visit this occasion, it's clear that this venue would be perfect for parties, small weddings, and other celebrations. I highly recommend The Black Horse Pub for anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and friendly spot to enjoy a night out with friends or family. 10/10 would definitely visit again!

Popped in for a quiet pint and to have a read instead of being stuck in my home and was greeted by a very friendly dog, always a brilliant first impression wherever you go! Good selection of drinks, and lots of comfortable chairs to choose from. Telly and music playing so you can watch sports with your pint.

Beautiful place for all occasions, have recently hired the outdoor area for a party which was decorated amazingly with balloons, banners and fairy lights all around, as well as a personalised cocktail bar. Due to it being in the colder months of the year we were supplied with toasty gas heaters which kept all the guests warm! The staff are always lovely, welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Any place that turns down a heavily pregnant woman when she asked to use a bathroom deserves one star or less. The lady was turned down by an unfriendly staff woman at the bar with a red eye. Legally, of course, they can do and it is their absolute right, but I would avoid such an unwelcoming place. Unless you buy a drink there...then you are very welcome.

Lively little vibe went to the pub for karaoke.. first time properly going , was welcomed nicely by a little group at the bar (owner and friends?) And by the staff. Flattered to be asked for ID at 25 , but having bar experience was glad to see they asked, due to under age drinking being an issue in twells. The bar lady was nice enough to ask the owners if I was ok to be served, to which they allowed., this showed experienced landladies with some common sense. Really friendly pub, another time going they welcomed our son to be in the pub for an after xmas shopping drink and allowed him to play snooker /pool with us..this showed great diversity in the way they handle different sorts of customer's. The regulars were also very friendly. Great relaxed and family atmosphere all round.good job girls.

Due to another local pub's kitchen we were recommended Chequers. The other pub phoned through to Chequers to let them know we were coming. Extremely genuine warm welcome from the chef and the lady managing front of house. Ambience is very cosy indeed. The meals were well presented, cooked with care and attention to detail. Decent value for the service and meals we received. If we're in the area again will certainly visit once again.

Me and my friend decided to go to Coco Retro on a Saturday night,, I had the Bouillabaisse fish stew and ordered some fries and a glass of glass of Sauvignon. The service was slow and tbh the waiter seemed very uninterested in us. My fish stew ended up being a bowl of mussels with a few tiny prawns thrown in, the sauce had absolutely no flavour at all, the fries were dry and the wine warm and not pleasant, when asked if I enjoyed my meal I did mention that I wasn’t satisfied politely, the response was “oh that’s a shame”. I certainly won’t be going back again and won’t be recommending either

The Guinea did not disappoint. Warmly welcomed by two gentlemen at lunchtime who took our orders swiftly. The food was excellent(plenty of choice), and I would encourage a visit if you want good quality food and great background music. Excellent
