Calverley Grounds Cafe in Tunbridge Wells

Var en tur i Calverley Grounds for en gåtur og da der kom en regn byge valgte vi at gå ind i denne lille hyggelig cafe. Her er servering både inde og ude. Hyggelig typisk engelsk. Flinke unge som var hurtige og vakse. Et fint tilbud af små retter, varmt og koldt og alt til meget rimelige priser. Vi valgte the og kager og hyggede os mens det regnede. Kan anbefales og vi vil helt sikkert gerne komme her igen.

First time we have been but it won't be the last. Good range of light bites for lunch (I can certainly recommend the All-day Veggie Breakfast) drinks, ice creams and very friendly helpful staff. Only assistance dogs allowed inside but they are allowed at the outdoor tables, which have good views across Calverley Grounds. Ample portion sizes and good value for money.

Met here with friends for lunch lunches on the 4th Monday in March We had a bacon & sausage roll ,cucumber & tuna sandwich on white bread and 2 flat whites .All very tasty and staff were attentive , very friendly and polite .Great value

Called her with family members twice whilst in the park with family as enjoyed lunches here. On the 1st day I had coronation chicken in jacket potato with salad and my wife had tuna and cucumber sandwich with chocolate bar and 2 flat whites. The second day we both had coronation chicken jacket potatoes with salad and several various coffees, brownie and caramel shortbread slice. All very tasty and great value. Very friendly & customer focussed staff

While in the park ,stopped for a bite to eat. We had coffee and a bakewell slice. Food good,staff are quick and friendly. Worth a stop if your in the park.

This is an amazing cafe with huge portion sized dishes. We had a kids size cheeseburger and chips and sausage and chips and I had bacon and egg on toast with tea and two soft drinks and the price was only £10.15. They are really friendly and compared to most cafes or coffee shops in Tunbridge wells I can honestly say that this is extremely value for money. It’s also in a lovely area. Definitely recommend!

We found this by accident while watching the ice-skating yesterday evening in Calverley Ground. Situated in a long wooden cabin and well equipped with practical tables and chairs, it offers plenty of choice and the staff are welcoming. We were so impressed we came back the next morning for the all day breakfast! The prices are very reasonable and you get plenty on your plate. Well worth a visit, seating outside too.

Called here before shopping to set me up for the task! I had full english with extras of tomatoes, hash browns toast. Really friendly service. The café is in a prime position in the park and you get good views. This time it was the ice rink Food looked very appetising and tasted great. I had 2 lattes as they were really good

Called here for a breakfast whilst visiting the town. I had full English with extras of toast, tomatoes, mushrooms and hash browns and 2 lattes .Everything looked and tasted really good. Service was very friendly too. Lovely location to sit in or out.

We recently visited this cafe after going to the park. It is so reasonably priced with delicious simple food. They have some lovely outside tables and delicious ice cream! The staff are all really helpful and friendly.

Nicely positioned close to the centre of town and in a nice park the food is pretty standard greasy spoon and cafe fare. Its in expensive and food was served quickly. You might meet your mates there after a night out but you wouldn't go on a date.

have popped in for coffee and a bacon sandwich on several occasions, not fabulous but reasonable value for money in a pleasant setting.

Located in the middle of the park, which makes it an ideal place to sit and relax. they open most of the day for breakfast, and lunch. Most of the seating area is outside which makes it very popular during sunny days. They serve good drinks, and food at very reasonable prices.

This place could be quite nice but there are improvements needed. We approached the building which looked nice, but inside it was a bit downmarket. The staff member serving could brighten up a bit but they were basically ok. The tea was quite unpleasant (and was just plonked down with a teabag bobbing and we were left to finish making it ourselves) and the coffee was average. We had cakes which were ok. We had to ask for a tray which was greeted as a strange request but one was supplied. They need to tidy up the outside seating area a bit and present the food a bit better. Some items were mislabelled, I don't believe there is such a thing as a Bakewell flapjack, it was a tart which had probably been taken from a box and then wrapped in cling film. On the bright side, the prices were reasonable and the establishment seemed clean enough.

Good selection of jacket potatoes, toasties and usual cafe food. The soups are freshly made and great value for money. All portion sizes are generous and food is freshly cooked. Good selection of cold drinks and ice creams.

I stopped here today for the loos and found this fantastic cafe haven't been to the calerly grounds for a very long time think last time I was a kid very happy time I had there I do remember there was a padding pool for the kids which now has been filled in shame Heath and safety I guess had that filled in but it's still agreat place to sit and chill there is free wi if in the cafe prices are very good they don't take cards cash only but there is a cash machine at Sainsbury's just outside the park that ok then I had jacket spud and chilli and cheese came with a salad £4.70 which I thick is great value for money so come to this great place in tunbridge well across the road from the station love mr cheeky in Kent

A place of choice for a cheap, filling, quick meal with the kids. We go here a lot in the warmer months and like to sit outside while the kids kick a ball around. Great value!

café in an attractive park with decent grub at very sensible prices, like a great bowl of home made soup with half a baguette for about £3. Fantastic

We were looking for a toilet, a lady said turn by Sainsbury express and we not only found a toilet we found Calverley Grounds, it's a lovely Park with lovely slopes and this Cafe, we only had a cup of tea as we ate sandwiches...

No es un lugar lujoso, pero está bien. Tarifa básica de café, patatas fritas, salchichas, etc. pero en un hermoso parque, el café es bueno y el precio es genial. Ah, y ningún viaje a el parque con los nietos es completa sin un helado de ellos. También es un buen lugar para reunirse con amigos y disfrutar del sol.

Siempre el personal amable, básico pero recién hecha por un precio mucho más razonable que algunos de los otros cafés de la ciudad. Menú infantil es buena, como es el café. Estupenda en un día soleado cuando puedes sentarte fuera y los niños pueden correr sin molestar a nadie, o corriendo en una carretera!

Different from what others in town are offering.The staff were very welcoming and it had great views of the Park!

The bacon sandwiches looked 'to die for' but sadly we had already had breakfast so it was two cappuccino and two pastries.

Calverly Cafe. Tunbridge Wells.Always a welcome in this, at times, hectic and a bit worn friendly park cafe tucked away opposite the station in the centre of town.The team are really nice and the popular fry up, in my case eggs chips & beans with a mug of tea is excellent and very reasonably priced.Only critism a while back they stopped making their own chips, however after several trials the ones they now use are an ok substitute. ( I guess it just got too busy to peel & chip their own spuds)Their (scoop) ice cream with plenty of flavours to choose from is just yum! Always a generous scoop and just the right consistency. (ie not frozen solid)Sitting outside in the summer and winter is joyous. Plenty of seating and there's always the grass if you want to feel more connected to mother earth. Importantly there's plenty of space to keep an eye on the kids if they feel the need to want to go wild running about.Shame there isnt a kids playground. But you can always bring a ball or toy or the children just join in with other kids playing.If your on your owm no need to feel uncomfortable, staff will stop for a chat ( if not too busy) strangers pass the time of day and there's plenty of people watching and changing of seasons going on outdoors.

I have walked past here on a number of occasions & wanted to try this café Very friendly server at counter .I ordered full english breakfast which consisted of 2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 fried eggs, baked beans & 2 rounds of toast. I could have had chips if I had wanted too in lieu of toast The server, who I think was the cook too, became busy after serving me with food deliveries & customers, so I was very pleased that my breakfast was not overcooked and eggs done to perfection. Average quality overall Cappuccino-small and warm, rather than hot. However setting very good and friendly service so overalI would rate experience as good

Having lived across the road we often popped in for a quick snack/lunch. I was shocked at my last visit. The burger was deep fried and the Ham egg and chips saw the ham come up as thin, gristle like cheap ham. Awful. Furthermore the staff are abrupt and unfriendly. Such a shame!

Visited here a few times came today with my dog and a friend. It was fairly chilly but seeing aw we had the dog we sat outside and ordered food and drinks. Then I noticed 2 ladies come out of the cafe with their small dog that they were carrying. I asked if I could bring my dog in too. The reply was "no, we don't allow dogs inside the cafe" Hang on a minute, what about the 2 ladies that just left that had a dog with them? "That was a guide dog" A small dog that she was carrying was a guide dog, are you being serious? "Yes she said it was a guide dog" Even though she carried it out in her arms, you think that was a guide dog? "Well she said she would keep it quiet in the corner" Ok , I'll keep my dog quite in the corner"No you can't bring your dog in" The food then arrived but we left without eating even though we paid for it. This place has the worst customer service. Either you accept dogs or you don't. It's not difficult. But to discriminate on a case by case scenario is just unprofessional. I will never return to this place!

Overall a good place for a natter! The setting is lovely, the prices are grate, the food is good, nothing fancy, a lot like you would make at home for yourself. Good selection of food. Tosties, jackets and sandwiches. If there is something you would like to change in the dish you want, no problem. Being a vegetarian the only choice really is something with cheese. Pescaterian something with tuna and cheese. If your vegan bring your own milk. And i believe they would be fine with making up something for your taste.

Typical Park cafe. Provides hot food, though not a very varied menu. Quality is pretty good for what it is and the food is hot. The staff are friendly and helpful.

This cafe serves nice, easy food, just what you want when visiting the park.There is a good choice available from sandwiches to a full english breakfast Tea, coffee, soft drinks, ice creams and more!All at a reasonable price too.

The cafe was reasonable. It did not have all of what we wanted to order which was disappointing. Some park cafe has better menus and better times of opening, which is more helpful when you have children with you.

If in t.wells and would like a snack / lunch no better place to go sit outside on a nice day and enjoy an inexpensive meal a rarity in t.wells. ENJOY.

came here for some cheap brekky, was great value. Can be a skilled art making breakfast, not as easy as some people think, and can take for granted.

Very basic cabin to grab a bite to eat. Usual choice bbc of teas coffee and soft drinks, sandwiches etc. Clean and good food.

set in the lovely park area, very cheap with friendly service. We go her for breakfast often. Never had a bed one here yet

A beautiful sunny day sitting in Calverley Grounds having a snack lunch. The food is basic, tasty, beautifully cooked and delivered promptly with a smile and very reasonably priced. ?The coffee is very good too. A great spot to meet up with friends. Its always busy so it must be good.

I made my first visit to this cafe recently expecting great things from the reviews I had read on here, but was to be hugely disappointed. My main criticism is that, amongst the long list of set breakfasts, there are none for vegetarians (and this, in a fairly 'progressive' town such as Tunbridge Wells, is quite surprising). The person behind the counter did say he could 'put something together' from some of the items in the other set menus, but this would have been using a veggie burger (the only vegetarian meal offered) as the basis of the breakfast - and a burger is not what I want for my breakfast at 11.30 in the morning! Why no vegetarian sausages at least? It's not that difficult to provide a standard fixed price set vegetarian breakfast of eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, hash browns, tomatoes, toast, etc., but the thought seems to have escaped this cafe altogether.Also, the cafe does not have its own toilets. Customers have to leave their meal and make the long trek back to the public toilets at the entrance to the park, and then trek all the way back again. Not good and very inconvenient if you'll excuse a bad pun.The much vaunted 'view' consisted of a huge muddy bog on the lawns directly below the outside seating and little in the way of attractive landscaping in the surrounding area. Possibly there is a more colourful and inspiring view in mid-summer but I’ve seen better in local parks elsewhere on my travels.Altogether a less than positive experience, and as I know other establishments in the town that do have a decent range of set vegetarian breakfasts at a reasonable price, I doubt I'll be going back.

Beautiful setting in lovely park, good menu choice, very reasonable prices and friendly staff. Best hot chocolate with whipped cream and flake, yum.

Been here for lunch and a great unique experience in the middle of tunbridge wells!Beautiful spot with tasty homecooked incredibly priced food. To sum it up amazing!

My friend and I often meet in this cafe. Lovely setting in the park, and close to T Wells station.Good service. Reasonably priced food.Friendly staff Full range of flavours ice cream cones, teas, coffees, hot chocolate and herbal teas. Fry ups, baked potatoes, chilli, tooasted sandwiches, chips etc.Seating both inside and outside.Note the toilets are in a different building near the park entrance.

This cafe, well located inside a quiet park is well stocked with food and has a decent menu too. The helpings are generous, the staff curteous and the views from it wonderful. One of the best kept secrets in the town.

This great cafe is very central...good service and wonderful value food!!We regularly go here ...particularly when shopping... And on a summers day it is great sitting outside. !!!!!

We can't fault the food, service or prices at this scenic cafe. We regularly visit for a Saturday brunch and never need to spend over £10 for 2 including drinks. Highly recommended.

Man did i need a cold drink after doing Tunbridge Wells many hills in the sun. To find this lovely cafe was like coming across an oasis. Normally park cafes are either totally overpriced and or serve poor tea and coffee in polystyrene cups and serve poor sooty food. This was neither. Prices were very reasonable and the food was varied and good value.

ive been here tens of times now so there is deffinately something that keeps pulling me back. Dont get me wrong its not a hidden gem that is out of this world but its a decent snack stop in the park to sit in the sun have a toastie and an ice cream. Friendly service and ok food..

Excellent lunch time venue on good weather day. Snack type food at very good prices and one of the nicest outside eating places in TW. Always busy when the sun is out and rightly so.

lovely park area, cheap cafe food but well cooked and tasty. love surroundings and a great place for families with kids to play on the slopes

Warm welcome, good coffee and interesting looking food. A wonderful setting and a rare treat.

We ate here on a beautiful summer's day, which always helps. We both had excellent jacket potatoes/salad, mine with homemade chili and my wife's with tuna mayo. The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful, and politely served in minutes. Lots of locals obviously make the effort to come into the park from their workplaces to eat here which is a good sign.
