The Pantiles Cafe in Tunbridge Wells - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Found some close proximity parking which had spaces for medium size vehicle. A bit fiddly between under a building pillars. A short walk and busy,

An historic & beautiful location for outdoor eating with loved ones.

Very nice area a d a great selection of restaurants

Lovely place to visit. We were only passing by so went for a walk and stopped off for some smoothies. The vintage market was on so it was nice to see it so busy. So many wonderful shops and restaurants.

A good place to get some food but can be a little pricey. Expect London prices. It can also get very busy here from about 11 am when it's sunny. Recommend Hattons for a sandwich

Looking very tired and unloved.

Wonderful!! Highly recommended. From unique shops to Friends Passage/ an old term for a Dandy hangout and possible meeting place for ladies of the night!

Upmarket pedestrianised period shopping area, where one can cosplay as a tourist in their own home town, sit outside with people far richer than you, and sample the local delicacy; natural spring water, fresh from the ground, that unfortunately tastes like utter poison.

Always have to visit this wonderful historic spot when I'm in the country.

In Tunbridge Wells the Pantiles are the.place to be with the nice terraces and beautiful environment.

Every dish was delicious and the service was excellent. Maybe best tapas I’ve ever had. Chicken satay was sublime. Will come again

They mucked up our food order so one meal came out but the other meal didn’t. The waitress blamed the chef but who know who made the error but by the time the second order came out 25 minutes later I had finished eating the first order. When the second meal came out the chicken was undercooked and was returned to the kitchen. By the time it came back out again it looked a mess and was not appetising at all. It was rejected and we asked for the bill which when presented included a service charge. Given our experience I asked for it to be removed. The waitress went back inside the cafe and came out with the same bill but the service charge crossed out. Stupidly I did not check the amount she put into the card machine but lo and behold when I checked my bank account the next day the service charge had not been removed. This was our first and will be our last visit to this establishment. They ruined what was supposed to be a lovely lunch with a friend.

Lots of things to see and do in The Pantiles and it always make for a worthy pitsop as well as alfresco days/nights out. A lovely area we've always welcoming

Loved it. Good food at Casa Vecchia, nice walk.

A great range of shops and some fantastic restaurants! Enjoy!

Gorgeous summer evening so was lovely seeing all the bars and restaurants spill on to the pavements.

Just a lovely place to walk around and relaxed

Beautiful and quaint independent shops and places to eat

Lovely place. Good food and beer

Superb food and attentive staff in NV a great setting. Good value too despite location. Stopped by chance but will definitely go back.

Nice spot with outdoor tables. We were disappointed though as we felt ripped off when we got the bill. Children's portion charged at full price and 50p added for oat milk which I have never had anywhere else in the country!! Also did a swap on full English but was charged an extra £3 which was unexpected and not mentioned when ordering. Food was OK but rip off means we won't go back.

Totally over priced .no service but a service charge was added it's not Paris or New York its Tunbridge Wells in kent . You should think of your local trade 😉

A small authentic shopping street has been preserved near the center of Tunbridge Wells. Nice to walk through. Expect restaurants, terraces and antique shops. It all looks very nice.

Wide variety of bars and restaurants. Live music and market stalls through the summer months

No pants No tiles Lots of other nice things though

Always a pleasant place to stroll around, no cars, plenty of eateries with outdoor seating

We came here for the Cuba Libre Festival over the weekend. There were stalls selling cocktails, food, live music and even cocktail making masterclass. Great atmosphere while soaking up the sun.

Historical, you have to see it. But it only takes 15 minutes. Good stop/overnight option for the tunnel.

If you in Tunbridge Wells you should start here, the pantiles area is very pretty and has a multitude of places to eat and shop

It was great to start our visit here. I’d never been to Tunbridge Wells before. Next time I will make sure not to come on a Sunday as many shops were shut which was a shame as I saw a number of things I would have liked to have bought

Lovely middle class venue where yummy mummies lunch and brunch

An array of shops and stooped in history.

Wonderful atmosphere on a sunny afternoon for lunch. High quality restaurants and varieties, secluded yet vibrant. Jazz evenings particularly great - heartily recommend!

Good array of shops and a chance to have a quick view around the shops

Nice shops and restaurants great on a sunny day

Such a special place, very good Thursday night outdoor Jazz, May to October, great markets. Beautiful hotel and delicious cafes and restaurants. The best camera shop, dog accessories and not to forget Trevor Mottrams!

Very picturesque old shopping street with lots of places to eat and drink. Plenty of people around giving the place a pleasant buzz. Very enjoyable lunch in Eggs Eleven.

Nice town to visit. Plenty of places to eat and drink plus a few interesting shops.

Wonderful atmosphere on a sunny Easter Saturday

Had a great time at a fantastic cafe. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was absolutely delicious!! I would recommend the avocado brunch to anyone that hasn’t tried it. The waitress with the stripey jumper was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Great coffee, magnificent lemon drizzle cafe and fantastic friendly service! Very enjoyable ambiance. Highly recommend this cafe.

In the sunshine - feels like a holiday! Superb cafes bars and shops ice cream and spots to sit

Lovely street full of shops and bars and food places

Guy who runs the shop was nice, answered all my questions, very helpful

Has a nice vibe, great place to grab a coffee or bite

Wonderful place to walk around and enjoy a drink / food. Visitors should try purchasing a bottle of the Chalybeate Spring rejuvenating waters from the vending machine. If you're not a fan of metallic tasting water there are flavoured bottles available too!

Wow, what a little gem in the town. Lots of cafes and local stores. You can easily spend 2-3 hours over here. We went over easter weekend and there was a story telling session in progress. Overall good place to have your fill of fun, food and shopping

Just such a lovely atmosphere and stalls are interesting.

Historic and very popular street of cafes and restaurants with lots of outside seating in the very smart town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Definitely worth a visit.

If you are in TW no doubt you'll visit the Pantiles

Looking very smart, a big plus for the area.

Very atmospheric, great setting with really good restaurants and cafes. An amazing old school cookshop/hardware store is a highlight too

Historic centre of Tunbridge Wells. With the famous waters in the corner, a bandstand and several decent pubs and hotels.

All good. going back when in Tunbridge wells.

My favourite place for over 70 years. It has many atmospheres with a variety of places to eat ,drink and relax or special events for people to gather and meet friends. I love it.x

Lovely place to spend a few hours at the weekend

Beautiful part of the thriving Tunbridge Wells town. Great for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or even just a coffee and cake!

I'm born and bred in TW and I have watched the Pantiles slip down and down over the years. The Chalybeate springs have now been paved over and some cheap fountain system has been installed to give a false water fall effect of the springs. Awful tacky vending machines have been installed to sell "authentic" Tunbridge Wells spring water and the original railings have been cut away and discarded. Even the lovely original signs and information about Dudley Lord North have been covered over by cheap plastic replicas. Such a shame this was allowed to happen. No longer are there the bands that played every Sunday afternoon on the bandstand. There are some lovely aspects to The Pantiles. Look out for the oldest post box in Tunbridge Wells. Also, can you find the oldest building first built there? Another huge plus is The Ragged Trousers bar and bistro. EXCELLENT food and drink and always a friendly welcome. If you are a visitor to Tunbridge Wells, you will probably love it. If you are born and bred, you will remember it in its hey day.

Unfortunately I was there in the evening after dinner but the weather was "ferocious" with a blizzard that even swept away the bins...so I was just in a hurry to get back to the car...Anyway, the area is nice and suggestive.

Beautiful shopping centre with easy parking

Lovely shops. Not as old as I thought it might be. Dead of winter. Probably more exciting in the other seasons.

We love this area of ​​tunbridge wells

We were informed that our order could not be taken as a table of 4 May have ordered everything they had. Not even a coffee order, not one pastry or slice of cake. Just not taking our order at all. I imagine this table of four ordered your entire cake and entire sandwiches and hot drinks and pastries. Unbelievable that they couldn’t tell us what they had left. I feel like they just did not want to serve us no clue why but my ethnicity may have something to do with it. We waited half hour and still nothing so we left.

It's OK but the food was a bit bland. Nice staff & a lovely atmosphere though

Great place for a stroll. Good selection of independent shops and cafes/ pubs.

Love walking through the Pantiles. Lovely bars and coffee shops.

Lively historic street with bars, cafes and a few specialist shops. It often has a weekend market selling crafts, clothing and food. The Pantiles has plenty of shaded outdoor seating in bars and cafes. There are a few benches where you can sit for free. Dogs are a common sight. Water from the well is available in bottles from a vending machine, rather than dipped from the well, which seems a bit strange. But the water needs treating to make it safe and palatable owing to the high mineral content.

Lovely lovely fancy fancy pantiles. Buy some very expensive kitchenware, then have a glass of prosecco. Great stuff

Cosy market street with nice restaurants inside and outside in the sun.

Not much more than cafes now. But still with a certain style

Beautiful outdoors space for eating and drinking. Visited while there was an event, very lively. Parking not ao easy nearby.

One of the best breakfasts I have had and served all day. The tapas options are pretty stunning too! I’ve tried most of the menu but the eggs royale on a croissant is something quite special and I’m addicted. Only tiny criticism would be to offer other bread types as I personally don’t love soda bread - but that’s a personal preference

Mainly cafés and a few expensive shops.

A great area to shop, eat, meet friends, see the various markets. Enjoy Tunbridge Wells.

Absolutely love the Pantiles. Variety of pubs, excellent food on offer. Absolute shame about the Jazz nights which used to free and open to everyone now fenced off, charged to go in, so give that a miss as it really spoils things.

A great place for tourists to visit and locals alike! Lots to see and wonderful food and drink. Look out for the markets on the weekends thoughout summer and the christmas season.

Not too much crowded, some Restaurants still closed, nice Café

Lovely area of Tunbridge Wells. We really enjoyed our lunch at the Cake Shed.

Always lovely atmosphere in the Pantiles

Very nice place for a drink. Disappointed they don't take cash

Very pleasant and helpful staff, fantastic food and good price! Ion the best part of town! Loved the steak sandwich 👌 Thank you.

Delicious, well-priced, quaint setting and friendly staff! Recommended ☆☆☆☆☆

Live music while you eat, very relaxing

Amazing place to visit and eat. Beautiful location

I like the Pantiles for a wander around and for the music which is often playing, but you need to be someone who isn't worrying about their mortgage to eat and drink down here.

Great food and friendly service

It was worth visiting just for the kitchen utensil shop alone!!!!

Very busy, and can be a bit pricy, but nice selection of restaurants

Great night at jazz in the Pantiles with friends. Sat outside and the atmosphere had a holiday vibe to it..

Fantastic night of good music and food.

The hummus and guacamole from the Buddha brunch were amazing. The truffle brunch was an inspiring, novel breakfast dish I would love to try again.

The go to the area in Tunbridge Wells. This little stretch of space includes a number of high end and local restaurants/cafes. It reminds me a little of European market areas with an abundance of outdoor seating. Great vibes on a nice summer's day! (Don't get much of those) The people here seem relaxed and not in a hurry like London! The markets are worth a look, From fresh fruit and veg to unique plants. Come here early to avoid disappointment if you want a seat! People will sit here for hours!

Entertaining on a sunny afternoon.

Walked around the Pantiles with my dog, Bruno..felt as if I was transported back to the Victorian time..just has that feeling

Small area, expensive cafés, restaurant's.

Very nice, friendly and interested staff and owner. And also delicious dishes. Recommended.

This is really the place to be.

People were great, the food was great, and the entertainment was amazing, it was a lovely time for me and my family

Lovely place to come and visit, especially on a Thursday from the first Thursday of May to the last Thursday of September as there is a Jazz event on in the evenings would well recommend to anyone

A shopping street full of small businesses.
