The Bull in Tunbridge Wells - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

No sorry this is not good. Poor selection of food. Rubber sandwiches and cold tea. Really nothing much to say good about them.

What a wonderful place! Wonderful food and a great atmosphere! Will definitely be coming again soon!

Since the new landlady has taken over with a vision for the pub, it seems like a completely new place. Love the fish and chips here, staff are friendly and welcoming. Support local and pay them a visit!!

Great new ownership. They were very accommodating to a gathering we had after a funeral. Very good food and atmosphere. Also a great place to go for dinner etc 👍🏻

Popped up for their bike night, nice venue, off street parking, good food friendly service

We were meeting friends halfway between where we all lived and randomly booked a table at The Bull for lunch, as we both had dogs so needed somewhere dog friendly. The manager/landlord was very welcoming and there was even a plate of dog biscuits on the table which the dogs appreciated! As for our food, it was delicious- homemade and tasty and served nice and hot. The soup was tasty, as were the steak and ale pies. Good selection of deserts which went down a treat! The pub is family friendly and has a selection of board games, which you don’t find in many pubs these days. There is a seating area outside for if the weather ever improves! A great find - just wish we lived nearer to The Bull!

We enjoyed our visit to The Bull last night. Dinner was excellent and the service friendly and efficient throughout the evening. Live music created a lively atmosphere and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I expect we'll be regular patrons.

Popped in to the pub in the afternoon last week. It was very cold outside and colder inside. Very quiet, which is understandable at that time. I know it’s new management and I wish them the best and hope they make it work.

We held a wake at The Bull. They were absolutely brilliant and the food was great. The overall experience was outstanding.

New landlady us doing really well with this traditional english pub. New staff… excellent. New chief… really good. New menu very nice with something for everybody. Quiz nights are a hit

This is a local pub to us and we have only been a few times in nearly 2 years. We came for a roast and it was quite nice. It is always nice to have a cosy pub to walk to on a cold day after a walk in the local forest for a drink or something to eat but, I have found the couple of times I have been here it feels quite cold. It's a lovely pub and there is more they could do with it to make it feel more welcoming and more cosy in the winter. The fire wasn't on and it was really cold out. Sitting on the sofas with a lovely warm fire would make you want to stay longer and drink more lol. We only had 2 drinks and left because we couldn't take our coats off the entire time we were there. Just felt cold and a bit dull. Different lighting, fairy lights, or candles would make all the difference to this pub as it has the potential to be beautiful. Just needs a little bit of TLC. Winter, fire roaring, nice mood lights, cosy vibes and you would want to sit there for a while. It would be a bit more inviting.

The food was really nice, I had the tower burger but the burger patty was rather small it got dwarfed by the bun and I found I was just eating bun with no meat at points. The portion of chips could’ve also been a bit bigger. The prices per pint are also top end for Tunbridge wells with paying nearly £7 a pint which is close to London Prices. I would go back because the food was lovely but not for drinking as it is expensive and not centrally located so driving is required

Stopped here for lunch. Great food - good range of options. Great Service - very friendly and helpful staff

Stopped for lunch, lovely menu and great food. Seems a friendly place.

Really nice and friendly pub. Lovely menu food cooked fresh and hot . My friends were raving about their burgers. Good selection of drinks and the manager Nathan was friendly polite and attentive. A very unassuming pub which was a great surprise and we would definitely go back . They have parking also.

Absolutely fantastic , food was very tasty and well presented and good size too , bar man was very polite and friendly very professional highly recommend will be coming back very soon

Tried a meal there about a year ago, wasn't impressed. Totally different now, went up there last week and my boys and I got the burger & chips. It's literally the best burger and the best chips we've had in our life's. Staff were brilliant too. Will be back more often now.

Имейте ввиду,что здесь очень узкие двери, не пройдет каляска и с трудом кто-то большой 😏

Great pub, really good food and warm atmosphere. Harvey, the bartender, was friendly and gave us great customer service.

Fabulous place, one of our family favourites!

The original cafe. Delicious food, pleasant staff.

I had a friend pass away and the bull hosted the family after. I dont drink but the food was amazing. I loved how the calibre of food met the surroundings. btw guys please be mindful of the main road as its pretty close to the pub, if any customers get tipsy might get into trouble. but 5 stars all around I intend to go back next year for my friends anniversary

Food and service excellent. Easy to park, would definitely recommend. Menu choice was great with a good choice of light and more substantial meals.

Stopped here after travelling back from a day trip to the coast. Glad we chose here to stop. The lady behind the bar was very friendly and welcoming. They had a nice variety of food on the menu. The food was tasty and a good price. We would definitely stop here again.

What a pub! How many pub have staff like this now days! Vanessa has been outstanding.. excellent service an absolute character.. the face of the pub we all say! Thank you.. we'll certainly be returning!

We had such a fantastic dinner celebration at The Bull Restaurant. Everyone was welcoming, the food was delicious, beer deliciously cold and we had fun as the soccer game was on, music playing and this neighborhood pub came to life! Cheers, Spicy Jan

Nice pub, good service, a bit out of the way, just outside Tunbridge Wells on the Frant Rd

Popped in for their monthly quiz night which was very entertaining. Lovely staff, punters and atmosphere.

My husband and I together have 15 years in the hospitality industry and we rarely find a place we can’t fault, that changed this evening when we came to the Bull. The service, the food, the price was impeccable. We live near and will be returning, shepherd Neame have knocked it out the park with this one

went out for dinner with my new boyfriend and place needs improvement kinder service and overall not very impressed

Fantastic food and reasonably priced for the quality received Only negative was the very loud table next to us which made our kids enjoy it less

Omg wouldn’t give the food to my dog. Had to send my roast back 4 times another roast had the string in it from the beef just glad the kids didn’t have beef.one of the burgers was still raw in the middle so that got sent back.and the chicken was black and so dry the kids couldn’t eat it. And the staff had attitude (well tried to) wouldn’t go back my life depended on

Nice staff but sadly no champagne!

Can't say I'll be rushing back any time soon.

Good selection of beers a great pub grub.

Nice lady behind the bar but the food was terrible. Not hard to cook and present basic pub food to an acceptable level. I wouldn't go back to eat.

Lovely little pub...well worth stopping in for a drink and a bite to eat

Staff excellent service food excellent very tasty decor clean

The bull pub on the frant Road has the best roast lunches and good value for your money and l recommend it so what are you waiting for before it all goes

always good for a roastie!!! miss the pool table! Always friendly service and decent tap ales

So we had a meal last night at The Bull. The service was on point. Nothing was too much, drinks arrived promptly glasses were always topped up. The food was amazing hopefully the pictures can do justice to the quality of the meal we had. Every mouth full of food was tasty. I have to say that was the best Xmas Dinner I have had in years. I will be back to sample more delights on there menu.

Wow what can i say, random journey to Tonbridge today and we were Pleasantly surprised by this little gem. The food was delicious and the staff are so lovely and friendly, you got it just right. The service and food out weighed the lack of parking. Thankyou so much and we will visit again.

Sunday Lunch was ok, but waited 50 mins for it to arrive. No apology. Also, I know prices have gone up everywhere, but £17 for a one course roast. Really?

A traditional pub which was buzzing with local families and friends gathered around large tables. We went for Sunday lunch, lunch was above average price which we don’t mind if the food is well prepared and meat good quality. However, the food was awful. The meat was tough and leathery and the cauliflower cheese was prepared with processed sandwich cheese slices. For a Shepherd Neame pub here was only one ale available so overall not a memorable experience. Don’t bother.

Lovely local pub, the food is lovely and nice place to enjoy a glass of wine. Staff are always friendly.

Lovely pub, nice atmosphere, lovy comfy sofas and a great outdoor barn space! 🍺🍷

Nice little pub with some good beers on draught .

Friendly atmosphere and great service from the staff. They were very accommodating for my partners food preferences. Thank you

We stopped on the way home. What a lucky find. The guys behind the bar were friendly and still smiling when we, with our sugar rushed child left. (He had eaten, and never will again, a Kipling cake!) The food was really lovely, the portions a good size and well presented. There was a great choice of food for both adults and children. Thank you for your patience. We would definitely recommend this pub.

Exceptional service and a great meal… clearly the the team there are very proud of the Pub - Well done

Excellent Sunday lunch, friendly service. A gem in Tunbridge Wells. Ordered a roast, vegetarian tart and kids burger. Generous portions.

The food is to spicy for flavour

Very disappointed. Had the pub told me when I booked there was no choice of beers and that service would be maddingly slow (even to get a menu having booked) I would have chosen to go elsewhere. At £6 each the desserts were tiny (my cheesecake was a slice about 1cm wide and 5cm long and was not served with any cream or ice cream, my friends cake was the thinnest slice possible). The main course was ok but nothing special. Very poor experience. Feel really ripped off.

Ordered 2 roast beef meals to be delivered. £15 each,We both received,half a carrot each,a teaspoon of cauliflower cheese…only 3 roast potatoes and 2 burnt Yorkshire puddings Incredibly disappointed

Portion size of peas with the haddock is smaller than the pot of tartar sauce so basically about a quarter of the size of a normal side portion. Two mouthfuls at best.

Very refreshing pint of Guinness, sadly lost the second test against lindia. But Very very lovely bar staff 👌. G

Nice staff and reasonable prices

Attended a wake, very nice area at rear of pub

Squid and chips was delicious for lunch with a light fruity IPA to wash it down. Excellent!

Excellent food totally recommend.

Good beer, good price and good service. They even have a car park

The Bull was the venue for the wake following the funeral of an old friend. The service was good and the range of food was first class. Everyone who was there agreed it was an excellent spread. Thank you to The Bull.

We went here today as a family of 11 and the food was amazing, compliments to the chef, the staff were polite and friendly. They had baby facilities and they made sure the children were fed first. Would definitely recommend and go again!! 😊

Visited the Bull yesterday with my partner , we both had the chicken roast , it's was lovely . The lady who served us was very welcoming and attentive . Will definitely go back again .

Amazing! A lovely staff team and gorgeous food, I highly recommend the burger. A very talented chef creates his own burgers and they are amazing. Highly recommend!

Out of town gem! Friendly and welcoming staff. Good food. Dog friendly.

The best Sunday Roast at a pub I’ve had in a long time, even down to the home made mint sauce!

It lovely public house with a warm welcome atmosphere .

Seems good was only there for a small wake

Decent clean pub... nothing special but well above average, decent staff and nice location..

Lovely outside seating area just a shame there were no heaters or we would have stayed longer

Delicious food highly recommend

BEST PUB IN KENT! Food is amazing, served to perfection and really good prices! Drinks are always perfect and have a massive selection. If your looking for a nice meal or a a place to meet your mates, this is the place! If you are going to get any burger get the PULLED PORK one! They even do vegan operations! The vegan salted caramel cheesecake is SOOOOO NICE!!! 100000% recommend!!!

We had a wake there and they served a lovely spread and the converted barn area outside was perfect for us.

Just ordered a takeaway from here on deliveroo.. ordered the roast lamb which turned up without the gravy or Yorkshire pudding..!!! Very dissapointed would be an understatement .made for a very dry and incomplete meal experience

very cool people and great place for the kitchen you have to try

You can order true Deliveroo in the pandemic

Just had a take away from the Bull, excellent meals via Just eat. Thoroughly recommended we will certainly be returning. Try the halloumi burger, delicious 😀

Great warm and friendly atmosphere

Lovely Sunday roast. Good attentive service.

Lovely staff. Good observation of distancing and sanitizing. Excellent food. Nice ambiance

We asked Zoltan to get us some steak for our Anniversary supper. He cooked 2 rib eyes to perfection with sauce bernaise and peppercorn. Great service too from Lauren. A perfect evening.

After switching around management and chefs for a few months. They finally made it. The bar there is top quality, brilliant for watching a bit of football or rugby. Outstanding during winter and summer. Food is truly great, but during winter, there are barely any spaces. Either way the place is pretty cosy with a fireplace, a few stools, tables, and sofas. A place to go for a catch up with your mate.

Good price for food quality.. good safe service

Always enjoyable at The Bull. Great food, great service. A happy place. 👍

My wife and I popped in for lunch today. Plenty of choices and main courses ranging from £10 to £14. Something to suit all tastes. My whole lemon sole with sautéed potatoes was delicious and a steal at £14. My wife had chicken chow mien with noodles, which was filling and £11. Staff are friendly.

Great food and nice ambience. Good service.

Love this pub, roaring open fires, nice publy/homely decor, great selection off beers and decent wines as well as really good food.

Wednesday night, Curry night, great beef curry with chick peas. Amazing.

Sadly lacking in atmosphere, decor and a decent menu.

Been coming here from time to time for many years. On Frant Road, close to Pantiles. Has outside garden area. Linked to Shepherd Neame, generally 3 real ales, good lager choice. Has changed hands often, currently food which is excellent Noon-3, 5-9 & all day Sat/Sun. Well worth a visit!

Fantastic food, especially the Lamb Tagine. Always a friendly welcome.Nice log fire. We will return.

We have eaten here before and have never been disappointed. Prices are very reasonable and the food was very very good. Lovely staff and good service and atmosphere Highly recommend.

I’m a new local and this place has been under new management. Like all new places it has taken a bit of time to get some traction. Adam, Zoli and team are professional but more importantly the food is great, service and general friendliness fantastic. If you want a great Sunday roast you won’t go wrong all served with a smile. Their team is always accommodating. On the weekends breakfast (eggs benedict etc) is served with eggs perfectly poached. Their burger is v good which is a staple of anywhere in my book. Apart from the food this is also a pub pub with a regular local contingent which is always good to see.

We visited friends in T Wells after a drive down from Woking, and five of us and a baby went to the Bull for Lunch about 1.30. We had a wonderful meal from the quite varied and reasonably priced lunchtime menu, Our waitress was very helpful and pleasant. The pub was warm and cosy and we didn’t have to wait long for our meal which was faultless. We enjoyed all aspects of this delightful little pub and will certainly return

We ate here for the first time in ages even though we live a 5 minute walk away. The pub was very quiet and lacking in atmosphere although the bar man was very friendly. The beer, Whitstable Bay my husband asked for wasn’t ready so he ordered a half of Spitfire instead. We ordered haddock, poached egg and bubble and squeak which my husband enjoyed but the hollandaise sauce was very thick. I had the boeuf bourguignon but it was just beef stew with carrots - no evidence of shallots or wine. As soon as the Whitstable bay was ready my husband ordered a pint which was very good. We noticed that there were vegan and veggie dishes on the menu. So - food OK staff very friendly atmosphere nil.

We visited whilst in Tunbridge Wells. Not as nice as we thought from the pictures seen on the web. However, we were ok with a small dog and lunch was cooked very well and a shared sweet of chocolate brownie with custard was very very nice.

We chose this pub based on the menu on the website ,, we wanted lunchtime more snack type food . We arrived near on 1pm to an empty pub which felt a bit odd, no atmosphere whatsover . On checking the menu however it was not the menu on the website and was all rather fancy main meals which would have been great in the evening but Saturday lunchtime is not what people want . So annoying when websites are not correct as we had then wasted the time getting there , parking etc and time was of an essence that day.

One of the best roast dinners I can remember. Believe me when I say I’ve had a few.

Zoltan and Adam took over The Bull a couple of months ago and serve delicious food. We have eaten there several times, both for Sunday lunch and dinner and today had breakfast for the first time. It was a real wow moment, the best breakfast I have had in Tunbridge Wells. The full English was amazing with excellent sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, black pudding and mushrooms. The mushrooms get special mention as they were cooked with onions and had a fantastic flavour. My son had the pancakes which came with yoghurt and a fruit selection and he said it was the best he has had (and he used to work in Bills) and the Egg Florentine looked excellent. All were large portions, clearly cooked to order and kept us going until this evening. I can also recommend the roasts, especially the beef which is cooked to your liking (I like rare and it was certainly that) and a few evenings ago my 22 year old son and I had a burger (he loved it) and the haddock with hollandaise, egg and bubble and squeak (all enjoyable, hollandaise out of this world). So yes, I recommend it, a friendly welcome, great food and some fantastic wines, such as the Nero d’avola which is just moreish.....
