The Queen's Inn in Tunbridge Wells

Great pub, great restaurants and great food. Visited for a family get together. This was a brilliant friendly environment and we had a great time.

Had a lovely evening her last night. Beautifully decorated dining area. Attentive member of staff serving us. Good choice of food on the menu. Food arrived very quickly - delicious.

Food good. but very disappointed to be charged £1.80 for a half pint of lime and soda (same price asa pint). When queried I was told « we charge the same for a pint or half pint of this drink « . Won’t return on principle

We popped in and both had the New Queen’s Burger. It was really nice. Best one I’ve had for a while. The meat was quality, triple cooked chips had a nice flavour and BBQ sauce was excellent. The staff were lovely and we’d definitely recommend it.

Tables looked dirty like they weren't wiped from the last people. They should have tablecloths for the price you pay for lunch. The starter a mixed mediterranean starter was good - just vegetables with herbs so not rocket science and the small main was Garlic and sweet potato houmous, with flat bread. The bread was so dry it was difficult to chew and the houmous with it was not what I would even begin to call houmous as it was so thick as well as tastless, tasteless you couldn't dip the bread into it so most of that was left on the plate. As for the vegan option for my friend which was banana blossom plus chips and peas, the chips were absolutely awful (uncooked taste) so my friend left those as well as her peas. It was embarrassing because I was expecting good food. This meal with a drink came to over £50 and instead of eating the food, it was left on a plate because it was so bad. Never again thank you.

Last minute booking for us as passing with 2 hungry little boys in the car. Was greeted by helpful staff and offered a table indoors or outdoors. The staff were professional and very polite. The food was delicious and the whole family enjoyed their meal. My husband and I had pizza and our 3yo and 6yo had a meal from the kids menu. The food came out quickly and it was a stress free enjoyable last minute meal. Very suitable for families.

We really enjoyed our meal here earlier tonight. Great welcome and service throughout, the menu was good (we had two of the Vegan options but there's plenty there for meat and fish eaters) and the food quantity and quality was very good. Also liked the good sized tables and internal decor. We will be going back soon.

Beef roast was pink/raw. As per for some pub Sunday roasts tatties hard and reheated - veg was lovely. Waiter/waitresses were great. Chef needs to give his head a wobble!

Such a stunning pub to visit and to enjoy a a lovely poured pint, along with the great food that they serve, although I must try a roast soon. Very friendly staff always happy to help and one lady in particular that goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Always my go too pub as you won’t be dissatisfied. Highly recommended.

What amazing service and food, we'll, definitely, be back. Thoroughly recommend as the staff went that extra mile to accommodate us. Thankyou.

We had a surprise family birthday meal for my mum and we couldn’t have wished for a nicer evening. From the beautifully laid out table when we arrived to the welcoming smiley service and most wonderful food. There were 12 of us, ages ranging from 8 to 91 and we were all looked after perfectly. They even brought a birthday plate with brownies and a glass of Prosecco out for my mum and sang to her which was lovely. All in all a perfect evening.

Just had a most wonderful lunch Me, Scallops followed by fish and chips Her, pizza with side salad Shared a rather nice bottle of Chenin Food delicious and cooked to perfection If you haven’t you should !

We really wanted to love our meal here as it gives off such great vibes, but what we ordered & at the cost, we were so disappointed. We both ordered the lamb rump, and its accompaniments on the menu all sounded delicious. However, when it arrived, it was a very small amount of the actual rump, 3 small pieces, and the chick peas were very greasy. Everything else was just basic and very underwhelming. Portion size was very poor for £27. We actually went to the shop and got crisps and dips to take home as we were still hungry. Staff all very polite & attentive, but one girls skirt was that short we actually felt uncomfortable as we could see men on other tables looking at her and giggling amongst themselves. We did mention the fact we weren't satisfied with the food, but because we ate it, we didn't really have much of a response. We would love to give it another go with this being one of our new locals, but we had much better food at the eight bells up the road, & certainly did not go home hungry or disappointed.

Very comfortable and wecoming environment. Accommodation and cuisine very high quality. Two personable and professional staff in particular are worthy of note: Katie, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Jasper, a young and engaging lad of 16 who has a great future ahead of him in hospitality. Highly commended.

We had a lovely lunch during half term. Staff were so accommodating to our 7 year old. Food was delicious! Highly recommend!

Couldn’t fault the service or the food !such a lovely birthday treat with all my family !!! We have rebooked for my husband birthday 🥳

Decided on visiting the Queen’s Inn for Sunday lunch today and whilst the building was as lovely as ever, this was a very disappointing experience. We were shown into the very cold restaurant, chose our drinks and then placed our order. The starter arrived and was tasty but it all went downhill from there. The family that arrived a good twenty minutes after us were served their meals whilst we were still waiting. Two minutes later the waitress returns to tell the table she’d made a mistake and picked up the plates of food and tried serving them to us. We declined and asked that she gave them back to the other diners as we didn’t want food that had been sitting in front of other people. We had to then wait again for our food which she staggeringly tried to serve to another table yet again. It was only when they said the food wasn’t for them did we manage to catch her eye. She then gave us only one meal, then the vegetables arrived and were again waiting for my partner’s food. This arrived through the doorway but was held whilst two waitresses stood discussing which table it was for. The food was not of a high standard after such a wait, very fatty and half was left. We declined desert or coffee and just paid the bill and left. This once great inn has lost something of its quality staff and food and I’ll be giving it a while before I return.

Anniversary dinner. Go out rarely as childcare is difficult, so we hoped it would be special and we weren't disappointed. Service was first class, menu imaginative and broad, setting warm, inclusive and stylish. The perfect mixture between local pub and classy restaurant. Will be going back again. Thank you. X

Great spot for dinner, and better than expected. You want the Queen’s Inn to be good, it’s a lovely old building that looks good in the High Street. Step in and you’re not quite sure to expect, looks a bit tired and not sure if it’s a bar or a restaurant. Whatever the image, it worked well enough. Charming enthusiastic staff made us feel welcome and the food is top notch. Perfect pork belly combo for me, excellent steak for Mrs. Definitely better than expected and nice to keep it that way. Also an excellent choice of wines by the glass.

A fabulous place to eat, drink & sleep! Stayed overnight just before Christmas and can’t fault it one bit. Staff, food, rooms, all top quality! Well done to all and we will definitely be returning next time we’re in the area

Visited here for Sunday lunch yesterday with family, amazing food, good choice on menu, good size portions, brilliant, efficient service from our 2 young waitresses. Would definitely recommend & will be back.

We attended a family party here, and our experience was outstanding. What friendly, kind and helpful people! Katie is a superb host and made sure everyone was brilliantly looked after. The room was beautifully decorated, with wonderful flowers and we were welcomed with a glass of prosecco. After half an hour of catching up with friends and family, we sat down to the most delicious lunch. The roast beef (it was Sunday) was melt-in-the-mouth, and so tender. Blackberry and apple crumble was just as good, a perfect balance between sweet and tart. The staff were amazing - so friendly and efficient. It was flawless. Congratulations to everyone at Queens Inn: we will certainly be back.

Excellent evening. Friendly and helpful staff, lovely surroundings and outstanding food. The fish and chips was apparently one of the best my father has eaten, the roasted cauliflower was superb and the lamb was cooked to perfection. Many more great things could be said about the starters, puddings and cheese but you get the idea. Eat here and you won't be disappointed whether you are a fan of traditional pub fare or are after something a little more sophisticated.

Excellent food, very friendly and efficient staff, great selection of beers and reasonably priced Sunday lunch. The menu clearly states that the beef and lamb is served red, so beware. I love it like that. The Mixed Roast was fabulous with well cooked sides of cauliflower cheese and red cabbage. Even the gravy was excellent. The Yorkshire pud is huge. Didn’t need a starter as decided to go for the pudding. So the litmus test is would I go back…….absolutely yes.

Delicious quality food that rather surprised me! Great atmosphere in this spacious pub/restaurant/hotel. I'd never ventured in before and was really impressed with the cleanliness and quality throughout. The staff were all friendly and service swift and helpful. My choice of the chicken supreme, perhaps sounded ordinary, but it was a treat for the taste buds with rosemary potatoes, carrot jus and gravy and beautifully presented. My partner opted for the beer battered fish and chips and reckoned it was some of the best he had had.

A slightly random review as it’s about a side salad. The pub was good, the food delicous, nice toilets etc as you’d expect. The thing that makes it a 5 star review was the side salad. Best my husband and I have had anywhere. Not just a bit of lettuce, cucumber and tomato, but avocado, radish and peppers too with a tasty dressing. Side salads are often an afterthought and pretty basic, but this showed this place cared about what they served. We’ll be visiting again.

The food was beautifully cooked and presented, portions are almost too generous and the desert was stunning! Most impressive though, were the staff. Welcoming, friendly, and catered to my husband and children's fussiness without a hint of irritation and for that reason alone, we now...

Visited a few weeks ago and had excellent pizza. Not sure if the person cooking the pizza has changed but this time no way near as good. Burnt edges, skimpy topping and raw onions instead of caramelised.

A second visit for us, as we came to this pub some time ago and really enjoyed our meal. It is quite a drive for us, so I was looking forward to having a special Sunday lunch. We would normally expect to pay around £14...

We stayed here and noted that the restaurant, beer garden and pub were popular with a nice mix of local people, always a great sign .Nice selection of wines and ales, plus delicious food, and service are excellent.

I think that £10 for a glass of very average cava is pushing it. Small flute. This is more than any other local in the area. Nice staff though

I don’t normally write reviews but wanted to because we booked last minute to eat here with our young daughter. From the moment we arrived, the staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The menu looked amazing; there was a slight delay on...

Not impressed with gyros lamb wrap with chips. It was very street food but at hotel price. Chips did not taste home made. Also wine prices were expensive. Staff were very helpful. However, it’s all about the quality of the food and cost, which was...

Four of us at lunchtime in April. Food was wonderful. We ate in the bar area and it was comfortable and highly enjoyable. Four of us husband and I and friends.

We were served by Chris, who managed to fit us in even though he was very busy. Excellent food cooked by Ben and service. Would strongly recommend!

Excellent food, we had the plaice which came with shrimps, one potato, a small portion of curly kale and a fried leek. Sufficient for lunch although I thought it was rather expensive for the quantity. However it was very well presented and the taste was...

Outstanding Sunday lunch. Great menu, food delicious and service was fantastic. Goats cheese and roasted veggie wellington was a fantastic option for veggie Sunday lunch. Will absolutely make a return visit.

Nice food though generally I feel there were too many chillies in both my starter and main food. The waitress was pleasant and helpful

I've driven past the Queen's Inn for years and always thought it looked nice from the outside. We visited recently for a Sunday lunch with our 2 small dogs and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The service was quick and attentive. Our roast...

A family of 6 .. we pre-booked. Stated how we like our meat cooked. Came out not to our liking…red!! Chips were full of grease, onion rings like snot. Couldn’t eat it. No sign of money off our bill. Absolutely disgusted. Would never go back...

Visited for lunch with my family, great food and atmosphere, staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly, we will definitely be back!

Great staff, good food, relaxing atmosphere, comfy rooms. Special place. Wish I could transplant this to wherever I go!

Excellent lunch - pork belly with apple sauce, side salad and chips (sweet potato for me and cheesy ones for my partner) Couldn't fault the meal and very pleasant staff so thoroughly recommended.

Our first meal out of lockdown, I must say it was lovely. We were looked after fantastically well.The staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful too.The food was yummy, tasty and hot. We were surprised with fizz and a decorated celebration pudding.Thank you for making our belated celebration more special.

Great to see the Queens back. Lots of hard work has been done to keep everyone safe, yet comfortable. Happy smiley staff, fresh ale, good choice of wine, ( although I always have the same ) and get on the prawn pakora !! Just the best.Well done Sharon, Bryce and the team, fingers crossed the weather lends a hand

Just had a takeaway Sunday roast and I’m so impressed I had to share. Perfectly cooked, perfectly packed, it travelled well and once plated we could have been in the Queen’s dining room. In these tough times we need to support our local pubs and restaurants.You could do a lot worse than a takeaway meal from the Queen’s

We just had a great Roast Beef Sunday lunch, takeaway obviously because of the lockdown. It was nicely presented, with separate containers for the vegetables (roast vegetable selection, red cabbage and cauliflower in white sauce) & gravy. Even included a portion of horseradish. The beef was plentiful and tender. We had Roast Beef in the restaurant the Sunday before lockdown, and, perhaps surprisingly, this was just as good! Would highly recommend. Need to order the day before, by phone and arrange a pick-up time.

Fabulous! A proper, tasty roast dinner. The beef was perfectly cooked and very tender; lots of vegetables including cauliflower cheese; proper gravy and Yorkshire puddings to finish it off. Lovely!

Lovely pub, really friendly and polite staff. We had 3 small platters to start and share, followed by bbq ribs and venison, which was out of this world, venison loin cooked to perfection, complimented with pearl barley and braised venison shoulder. Had a cheesecake to share and finish a lovely Friday night dinner. Well done!

We were seated promptly and orders were taken for honey and mustard chipolatas as starters and burgers for mains. Food was good, but portion sizes were huge (10 sausages each!). Very friendly service. The bill was £67 including two beers and two glasses of wine.

Booked a last minute Sunday lunch. Food was really really tasty and the staff and service attentive and friendly. The restaurant is pub like and divided into sections. Enough distancing to feel comfortable. We will definitely go back. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely place to have a bite to eat or a drink but prices are very high and could do with lowering a bit but apart from that I can’t fault it if it wasn’t for the overpriced drinks would have given a 5 star only been the once and can’t say I’ll go back again

We stopped here for lunch and were met with a warm friendly welcome and shown to our table. We both had the Queens Burger, followed by the homemade ice cream and it was all delicious. A very enjoyable experience, thank you :)

We booked the first slot we could get at 8.30pm - we were fairly promptly served drinks and then asked several times if we wanted more before any sign of food yet our order was taken promptly. After an hour we complained, to be fair the Manager when pressed said he would not charge us for drinks though offered us a coffee first after our food, would that have been 11pm perhaps? Husband's burger overcooked and without any juices. My chicken burger was good but just too too late ... wish we had walked out now. Too late and not worth waiting for sadly.

Booked a night here having spent a day touring round Kent. We were very pleased with everything - attractive room, friendly staff, lovely food. It made our trip a very pleasant one.

We called in for lunch after pre-booking, initially the service was very good, we were seated, offered drinks, made our order and food came out promptly, we were then left for for ages with empty glasses and no one asking if everything was ok with our food or if we wanted anymore drinks (which we did), shame as the food 2 sandwiches were delicious and we wanted a coffee to finish, but after waiting so long we gave up in the end, flagged down a waiter and asked for the bill.Lovely food and surrounding, but hit and miss service !

We spent 3 nights here with friends. The rooms are comfortable and stylishly decorated. We stayed in room 3 which was facing the road, but it was set back and very quiet. The restaurant is lovely and the food amazing! The staff were all very friendly, courteous and attentive. They delivered fresh milk and water to the rooms every morning and evening. Nothing was too much trouble.
