Dinner was dreadful. Three burgers, all the buns were cold and stale. The beef was sent back twice as not cooked as requested. Wasn't busy at all so no excuses. However, I've heard lots of good things so hopefully a one off. Went again recently and equally awful. Not all food choices available, wine we wanted not available. Waitress mixed up the order and broke two glasses. Then they closed without offering us dessert. Food was really bad. Never going here again, should have learned the first time around. Had to request a discount.

I researched a few places online and Framptons was the winner. I am pleased to say my expectations were exceeded in every way when I visited, which was for the sole purpose of having a porn star martini.

Went to Framptons on a Saturday night with a party of 6 and all wanted steak.They only had 2 left.So the other 4 asked for Roast Chicken and they only has 1 left.Most of us had to have burger & chips instead. Even though the food was very good whatever we chose in the end I can’t believe that they has not stocked up on chicken and steaks on a Saturday night for a 7pm booking. If your going there for steak then maybe give them a call beforehand to make sure they have got some!!

New favourite place in pantilles. I see why people walk past it as it right by the road but it is fantastically quiet and has a rare three windows walls. Previous bank vibes with vault and exposed brickwork are beautiful. Best burger I've had in a long while and reasonably priced. Defs going back again.

Recently visited (25/08/24).Unfortunately to our disbelief there was only one person serving . This lovely Romanian Girl was extremely under alot of pressure dealing with a very busy lunch time serivce. Turned out that her manager was on a break and left her on her own . This was totally unexceptable. The only one member of staff had to cover both downstairs and upstairs . So when coming upstairs this ment downstairs was left unattended. This is a absoult NO on all grounds . On saftey grounds aswell as leaving the bar totally unattended. My friends and i decided to have drinks upstairs where by the the lovely female staff did come upstairs to take out food orders eventually. On a good note though. The Sunday roast was absoultly delicious 😋 😍 I actually thanked and shook the hands if the chefs who had to step in and serve us and the other customers who were seated upstairs .. It was such a shame really ,because the food was absoultly delicious 😋 but for such a busy bar and restaurant to only have one membernof staff serving during a very busy lunch time was very disappointing and very badly managed. Shame really, because the food was delicious and the ONE member of staff was so so nice and did her very very best. So the manager/ management need to have a serious look at thier operating system. And NOT too leave just one memeber of staff on thier own to cope with such pressure . Customers were actually leaving due to the long waiting times.. I hope this review is read by the manager/ management . Because if i were some health and safety inspector,? Then i am sure you would be facing some very tough questions 🤔.

Good happy hour deal but it was really slow to get served despite there being no one else at the bar (the one staff member working was making cocktails for another customer). There is no baby change facility and the toilets are up stairs (with no space to change a baby). Sometimes they let you change downstairs but this was not available on this visit.

Visited on a Tuesday evening, the restaurant was quiet which is normal on the day we went, but we quite liked that. Really like the restaurant decor. The staff were nice and friendly. THE FOOD!! The food was amazing, the best mac and cheese I've ever had, and the burger was so juicy and delicious! Visited here as it was very close to our hotel, and so glad we did!

As all other places on Pantiles, quite pricey. Visited this place on a bank holiday weekend, lunch. At 12 pm it was pretty empty, could easily find a place. But it gets packed later. Ordered sunday roasts, 2 adults, 1 kid. 1 Juice and 2 cokes. Meat was soft and well cooked, vegetables were delicious. Yorkshire pudding was however a bit overcooked, bitter. Bill was 65 pounds.

Framptons, located at The Pantiles, is a restaurant and bar offering a variety of light meals, beers, cognacs, spirits, and cocktails. The choice of music and the lively atmosphere often create an exciting and eclectic vibe, which explains the high foot traffic during certain hours. While the décor and furnishings could use an update as they appear somewhat worn, this doesn't detract from the overall charm of the bar. The spacing and furniture selection complement their service well, as well as the corner where they are situated perfect for people and weather watching. The prices at Framptons are typical of The Pantiles—slightly high but still affordable, with the ambiance justifying the cost. The only downside during my visit was an encounter with an attendant who was on a phone call when I arrived. He continued the call for more than four minutes before attending to me, which seemed unprofessional. Despite this, he was pleasant and we had a nice chat once he was off the phone. Overall, Framptons is an interesting spot with good service, albeit with a bit of room for improvement in staff behavior. I'll definitely give them another try.

Stop by for lunch with a group of five friends, waitress was very pleasant and took our orders, food took around 45mins and when it arrived most of the dishes were lukewarm with mine being cold. I sent it back and it was replaced but at this point I lost my appetite with one other friend leaving their meal. I’m not sure what was happening in the kitchen but I’m not letting this put me off Looking at previous reviews they have been good, it’s just this day they definitely were not on their game. We did complain to the young waiter/barman but he just shrugged his shoulders and really did not seem interested.

I have really liked Framptons and the food they serve for several years. Staff very friendly and atmosphere pleasant. A few months ago they changed the burger they used to serve (which was excellent) and replaced with 2 small burgers (of not such good quality). So I have to give only 3 stars for food. It would definitely go back to 5 stars if the original burger quality returned. Any feedback from the manager appreciated.

Met with a friend here for drinks and something to eat. We didn't get a chance to eat as we had arrived too late however the bar tenders were very friendly and helpful. We ended up having a few glasses of wine and packets of crisps. As it was late in the evening I feel the lighting was too dim, made it difficult to see and read the menu or take good photos. I understand the lighting is to create an atmosphere but could use a little more lighting. The set up is super relaxed and welcoming.

Staff were very pleasant and service was good, but the pork belly was tough and mainly fat with underdone chewy 'crackling'. However, the roast potatoes were stupendous and the vegetable helping extremely generous. Because of that I'll come back again and give it another chance, but maybe not on a Sunday when the menu is limited to roasts.

First and last time I go here. I ordered king prawns and nachos- clearly spoken to the waitress, yet was given battered king prawns with a sauce. I thought the nachos were on their way or were forgotten. Asking if it came with nachos, the lady admitted she got it wrong, no sorry....so am I getting the nachos? Do you want the nachos she asks... I say yes of course.... because of this odd exchange I realise it was not a missing part- it was a different meal. Unbeknownst to me, she was asking if I wanted the original order after I'd eaten the wrong one! We wait for the bill too long and then they can't find the card reader. I pay for mine separately and have to pay £17 for two tiny meals, one of which I didn't order. What should have been £7.50 turned into £17 for a small lunch, all because I was given the wrong meal. My friend paid for hers separately but then realised she was also paying for the tip for both of us included. Tip? For you picking up food from the kitchen and putting it at my table, and getting my order wrong? It was so expensive and atmosphere was dire because of the service. Never again. Their communication was bad and I shouldn't have had to pay for their mess-up.

Popped in after a meal for a couple of pints. This place would be a 4/5 star as it is very nice but at 7.00 for a pint of Camden Lager I can't give it anymore than a 3 star which is a real shame. Point to note is most places in Tunbridge Wells were very expensive for drinks, food was roughly what you expect these days
