Marks & Spencer Cafe in Tunbridge Wells

Did deliver at the right address didn’t bother to call

Visiting the area and was recommended by our B&B host. Rang in advance to book a table and we did ask if there were veggie options as one of us is vegetarian. We were told there were but not as many as the meat and fish options. When we arrived there was only one vegetarian main course of Arranchini I asked if there was anything else and was told there wasn’t much call for veggie food there. Food was okay, expensive for the portion size and served without the option for extra vegetables, salads or breads. Decidedly average

A lot of people are blaming the cafe for the £7 parking. The parking price is awful and needs addressing, but I'm not sure if you can blame the Cafe for that. Food was good, view was lovely, the price wasn't too high for the food, chips were amazing! We had one issue the second lot of fries were missed but that was sorted out quick and without fuss. Guy on the till was nice about it and just got it all sorted. £2.50 for a Pepsi is a little steep, maybe a drinks machine would allow the prices to drop. Seating was comfortable, tables were clean, allows dogs. Minus that parking fee I'd visit more. Although a note I forgot to say the sausages are NOT dog friendly, maybe they could obtain some unseasoned sausages for dogs. Maybe plain pork ones, 6 for £2 at a super market and sell them at 75p each pre cut for pups ready to go. Allows for £2 profit per pack if you account 50p for cooking consumables.

Go here instead of the chains up the hill! Food is yummy, good service and it's nice and spacious for a pram as well. The bacon paratha is really yummy too

I brought my granddaughter to The Trough for breakfast, having visited previously and enjoyed my trip. I didn't think that the coffee tasted good and wasn't presented well. We had a mini breakfast and a full English, the service was prompt, though I didn't feel that the breakfast was good value, namely the poached eggs where flat and not hot, bacon was so dry found it difficult to swallow the baked beans were cold along with the toast. A bit disappointed this time.
