Village Cafe in Tunbridge Wells

Top Cafe. Top food, excellent service. Very clean, fair prices. The staff are very friendly, the menus is varied. I highly recommend

Just had a sandwich. But it was clean friendly, nice spot on corner. Definitely will go again when in area. All you could want from a traditional cafe

This is just a fantastic, traditional cafe. Have been coming here for years - I've probably eaten here more than 70/80 times and it has never been less than excellent. The food is all freshly cooked and piping hot, it is spotlessly clean and the owners are great. I wouldn't hear a word said against the place.

Had a breakfast baguette And a BLT. That had no LT in it But worst no of all was not the price Although they were were seriously over priced Worst thing was It gave me a very very very Bad stomach If you know what I mean Do not eat there. I still have a bad stomach now And that's 6 hours later

Nice cafe, got a bacon sandwich to take away and it was very good. Would come back again.

Always friendly and helpful Great food and service Really good coffee 😊

Bang on, everytime. Great people running the show.

Excellent food fast friendly service

As an engineer and on the road a lot up and down the uk. I stop in this cafe to grab food and site to enjoy. Unfortunately seating is tight and prices. Well 20 pound for food is silly. And left still hungry. Won't be stopping here again any time soon.

Nice little cafe, good coffee and the chicken burgers are made from proper well cooked and marinated chicken breast. Nice chips too. Take some real money as it's cash only, but there is a cash point opposite.

First time visiting here and hopefully won't be the last. Had a full breakfast and a cuppa for under a tenner. Was a very nice breakfast and service was great too. Highly recommended

30 mins left untill close. And it was take away only . Shame i only had 30 mins break anyway

Perfect cafe. Extensive menu with everything prepared just as you'd want. Nothing fancy - does what it says on the tin. Always busy, always friendly. Highly recommended

Planned to visit another Cafe a small distance away. Unfortunately on arrival our chosen Cafe is now shut on Saturday mornings. I must say how impressed I was with the quality of food and drinks. The service was above standard. Before I placed our order we were informed that there may a delay as the team were busy working on a large delivery order. I thought this was a great thing to make us aware of. It says to me that valued us enough to perhaps lose our custom, rather that disappoint us to a long wait. As it happens we weren't in a rush, and the delay was short. We sat, with our drinks quite content. It's a thumbs up from me, and the food was a 10 from me.

Proper cafe. Lovely breakfast, great service and great value. Bang on.

Very friendly atmosphere and run business in Paddock Wood. Good location as well, right opposite the train station and at the end of the high street. Will eat in next time. Thanks

Got out of the habit of having breakfast before Waitrose shopping (yes COVID changed our routine) popped in last week and this week. The tea is perfect (that's important) the food is displayed to look good and you can taste all the separate flavours. This a place to enjoy your breakfast or what ever you like. For a foody like me perfect. Opps nearly forgot light airy and super clean. The staff are very helpful. 5 ⭐ plus for me.

Had a veggie breakfast with the wife before our weekly shop earlier. It is located opposite Paddock Wood train station and its the perfect go-to before or after shopping. We'd heard great things about The Village Cafe from our neighbours so we thought it is on the way to the supermarket and we hadn't had breakfast. Have to say the welcome was warm and friendly, the breakfasts we had were top draw perfect and coffee was just fantastic. Excellent value for money, massive portions, excellent fast speedy service, nothing too much trouble for the staff and again the coffee was out of this world. Veggies and vegans like me catered for also. One of the nicest all-day breakfasts we've had and they even do a delicious bubble and squeak something you don't find often on many menus these days. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Paddock Wood and your hungry. We'll definitely be visiting again when we do our next Saturday shop at the local Waitrose. I recon this could be a regular trip. It's got to be a wicked 1000/1000 rating from me as i said top draw delicious dining, fantastic value for money, awsome friendly staff, awesome coffee. Wish I'd taken some pics. I will do next time i visit, thanks guys it was a real pleasure to dine with you.

Fed up of my undercooked overcooked luke warm hotel brekkie, decided to treat myself and wasn’t disappointed.. bubbly, jovial staff, cracking breakfast, worth getting up early for

Food was pretty good, although a bit dissapointing that no tea, toast or bread served with a brekfast. Big brekfast was nice but ive certainly had bigger breakfasts for less money. When asking if tea or toast was included the young man came across a bit abrupt. NO.

I popped in for a takeaway cup of tea, didn’t realise it was cash only. I didn’t quite have enough change as I never carry cash but the friendly guy on the counter gave me the tea anyway. Very kind and made my morning. The place was bustling and the breakfasts looked fantastic. A proper caff. Thank you!

Food is not terrible service is however. They don't take card, they are not welcoming. I was pretty much kicked out and made to feel unwelcome because I wouldn't share a table with someone. I wanted my own space to eat my breakfast, is that really too much too ask? We'll it is here the fact a company can be established for so many years and still not take card parliament. They are dodging taxes and defo ha e illegal stuff going on behind the scenes. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if this place launder money for local drug dealers it's that kind of place.

Use to go to this cafe quite a lot. Food is OK to be fair, but staff friendliness and how welcome you are made to feel is the worst I've experienced. Went here after a long motobike ride to grab some breakfast a few months back, was told I am taking up too much space on my own table and if I wanted to order I would have to share a table with a lady coughing her guts up and smelling like stale cigerettes. There was a dozen spare tables, I declined and left never to have returned again. They dont take card and 100% tax dodgers. Avoid this cafe, its run by scummos. HMRC should 100% investigate.

Great place for a decent breakfast on a Sunday morning!

Great food very friendly price for food was good

Breakfast was OK but I'd expect bread or toast included with the main breakfast. Bacon was over cooked and hard to chew.

Excellent very very nice clean food highly recommend staff are kind and pleasant 👌

On a flying visit back to Sussex from Devon needed breakfast after a 0500 hrs start. Popped into Paddock Wood in search of some bacon and eggs. Saw the Village Cafe and parked up. Thought it was a traditional Greasy Spoon Diner and ideal for a fry up. Very busy on a July Saturday mid morning with locals was a good sign. I was wrong about the greasy spoon....it's a traditional old fashioned London cafe but worlds apart. The place is immaculate, tables continually cleared and cleaned. The kitchen with the brigade cooking you can see when ordering is also spotless and organised. A hearty warm welcome from Chris I think it is - a Londoner like me. Now the thing is I can't have Gluten or Lactose so just asked for Bacon and Eggs and black coffee. To my delight and surprise I was told they have gluten free hash browns and sausages so got tempted and went for the lot. (I rarely have a cooked breakfast, literally couple of times a year). The sausage was tasty, the bacon and eggs perfectly cooked as were the hash browns. The coffee was nice strong flavour and again proper ground bean to cup not instant. The staff couldn't be more helpful or efficient. Great friendly old fashioned service with a smile but the food and surroundings top notch and up to date. I'm only disappointed I live so far away I can't go more often.

Went today for 2nd time, late brekky, husband had full breakfast with hash browns and black pudding, I had lovely cheese omelette with chips and salad, including beetroot 😋, kind staff went through gluten free items with me including a GF sausage, but couldn’t resist the omelette.

Always busy and for good reason. Really nice coffee and cheaper than a neighbouring chain competitor. Although they're cash only the service is quick and obliging!

Great food. Welcoming friendly guy on the counter. One of the top cafes I've been to.

Great value for money, great food. Definitely be going back again

Amazing breakfasts to br had & such a friendly little cafe!

Great food always fresh always busy staff go out of theyr way to make your visit nice

Parking isn't the easiest, but High Street and car parks are near by. Outside seating is possibly the best option for wheelchairs due to limited space. Food was hot, well prepared and nicely presented. Good value for the portion sizes too. Able to swap items on a set meal without a problem.

Really lovely cafe amazing food

Went in this morning with four fishing buddies before we spent day fishing..all had cooked breakfasts and all were smashing..very quick,friendly service and good value..will deffo return,top notch..

2 eggs on 2 toast poached with a mug of tea. Excellent !!

If this is not the best cafe around, oh yes it is. Is the food better than the staff, or are the staff better than the food, no they are both the same just brilliant and brilliant customer service. Just after being in there twice they knew what we wanted i just love that and even down to asking how you are if you've not been in for a whlie they actually care for you welfare. Now the food!!!! It's cooked and presented perfectly as a ex chief and working in some brilliant restaurants in London, and with all these combinations will keep me coming back. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the cleanness of the cafe too. Thank you the Village Cafe keep up the good work. Andy

First class service and excellent food

You would think for their prices it would be top quality food but it was so average and was still left feeling hungry so had to go Greggs further down the highstreet. A set breakfast doesn't even come with a slice of toast or even a cup of tea. Ridiculous money grabbers. A set breakfast is supposed to set people up for a good day, builder's, office workers and the rest us... Not leave us feeling robbed and still hungry !

Really great cafe! Staff are lovely and the food is fantastic. We'll definitely be returning!

Not long moved to the area and have enjoyed several trips here. Portions very good and service is always fast. Coffee is always good quality

good atmosphere and good food! great for the price

Loved the full English breakfast.

Great food and amazing staff usually go here for breakfast with my family always get the same warm welcoming as alway even if are busy coffees are amazing even better than costa I would say! And food is very yummy as well

Lovely food, great portion size and clean

What a joke of a cafe! Overpriced! Came from London on a job in Paddock Wood and bad luck took me in here. Breakfast doesnt even come with toast or tea/coffee. BTW..bubble is not even bubble it.s just something thrown on the plate Also it's cash only in 2022...DODGY

No drink or toast/bread with breakfast.

A cuppa tea should be included within a breakfast price imo

Great local cafe kept clean and serving good food

Lovely friendly people and always serve a great jacket potato

Small cafe, always busy, food cooked and made to order, so be prepared to wait, I have been a couple of times and will go again. Large menu breakfasts through to dinner and everything in between, not expensive, village friendly prices

Overpriced and cramped cafe serving average greasy spoon fare. Breakfast don’t even come with toast or tea - you have to buy it all separately. A standard breakfast ends up costing about 8 quid, which is atrocious considering it’s just a local cafe. Also - you get the ‘regulars’ cluttering up the front of the shop chain-smoking in the seating area staring out anyone who walks up. Not for me. George’s cafe was wayyyyy better back in the day, shame this is all we have now.

NEW TO THE AREA !!! PADDOCK WOOD !!! Have just moved to the area last week so myself and a friend decided to pop into Paddock Wood the local town , bought a coffee from Costa and had a wander around , all looked lovely , then saw THE VILLAGE CAFE on the corner so we thought we would pop in for a Breakfast and a drink , as we walked in the forest thing that was said to us was “you can’t drink that in here” we both looked at each other and the owner proceeded to say “we aren’t an advert for Costa” I can honestly say I have never found someone so rude and his son was behind the counter laughing !!! There wasn’t one customer inside so no wonder they don’t have many customers , absolutely horrendous customer service from what seems to be a family run Cafe , the son then proceeded to follow us out of the cafe and as we left the door slammed and then shouted at us across the street !!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!

Little on the expensive side but the food is good , the people are nice

Excellent food and excellent service, will never go anywhere else!!

Friendly cafe, meals fairly priced.

First visit today; huge plate, no grease Big Breakfast - 2 fried eggs, 2 rashers bacon (good thickness), 2 sausages, baked beans, tomato, hash brown, mushrooms & chips for £7.95!! Orange juice, mug of tea + slice of buttered toast - excellent as a brunch, great value and perfectly cooked. All very clean, good turnover time and friendly staff, will definitely come again.

Great bacon sandwich and coffee 👍

Great breakfast and reasonably priced.

Nice clean cafe.friendly staff.clean toilets.food was nice and good menu choices.only down side is trying to get parked,can be busy with traffic at times.

Clean and tidy.I got the all day breakfast ,advertised as £5.50 ,with tea Came in at £9.70 ,very average with premium prices

Visited this little cafe for the first time today really nice food & coffee & got to enjoy it in the sunshine

Excellent service and customer care, always clean and quality food.

Nice cafe nice people very polite food good. And we'll go back

Naprawdę jestem pod głębokim wrażeniem, ogromne porcje świeże sałatki. Na pewno jak będę następnym razem w okolicy to skorzystam.

Honest and hardworking. Lovely food and staff. Will be back soon.

Lovely friendly people,food excellent, a vast menu,had lovely breakfast one day and back for lunch 2days later,tried to get in yesterday but it was packed, says it all really

Was visiting my sister and had cooked breakfast here, lovely food and served very quickly

Arranged to meet for breakfast was very disappointed with what was dished up as a full English breakfast. Plate was lacking mushrooms, fried slice. No bread or toast. It was very poor so will not be returning. Plus rude owner and staff.

Best café for sure great customer service

Excellent staff great food fast service what more do you want .

Nice little place, food is alright, not the best I've had but not bad by any standard! Prices are fair, but again not the best.

My lady friend and i was very impressed with this cafe that within 3 days we have visited it twice and driven 12 miles to eat there.Very good food and service and you do not have to wait very long for your food.Everyone that works there are very polite and friendly and the prices are reasonable.

Best service , and burger and chips like wimpy strawberry milkshakes gorgeous food

A VERY NICE PLACE TO EAT. FRIENDLY AND CLEAN.

Best breakfast around.Food is absolutely amazing, I had the breakfast lunch and dinner options from the menu and they are all simply out of this world.Service is always friendly and with a smile.Good variety on the menu including vegetarian options I really can’t recommend this little gem enough in your in the area it is definitely a must Ps try the chefs special recipe chicken

Quick service nice food good prices.

Really nice people, fantastic food....nowhere better for miles around.

Always really pleasant and friendly and good food

Loved it the breakfast is the best, we live in ashford and I come up to have the all day breakfast that's how good it is....

This feels like a bacon sausage and egg type truckers cafe. It definitely ISN'T a tearoom and doesn't do cakes, though it does do latte. If you want cakes try Costa just up the road. I'm not saying it's bad, but "The beans and burger bar" would have conveyed a better impression of what it's like. Food looks very cheap but coffee isn't.

Friendly service, tasty food great little cafe, if only it had expanding walls 😀 as it often gets busy as it’s so nice.

All goo in the hood at Paddock Wood Village Café 👍👌👍

All ways friendly good food and very clean have a good day all. vic

Well presented and quality food staff was nice and welcoming

Good cafe great staff very accomadating, would definitely go back

Truly awful experience. I ordered a jacket potato with cheese and salad but they plastered the potato in margarine, far too much which made me sick. Most cafes have butter in small packets and the customer uses as much as they choose, you don't expect a healthy salad meal to served to you in this state. After a few mouthfuls I couldn't eat any more and all the staff, four of 'em ganged up on me when I politely asked for a refund which was not unreasonable. They were insulting and rude. I mean really, margarine is so unhealthy compared to butter. I think they cut corners and don't give customers the best option.

I have been going to this cafe for years now and can only say how efficient they are when you place your order, there are no set times for breakfast or lunch,

We absolutely love The Village cafe. We've been coming here since our daughter was a baby and she's 11 now and we still love it. It is spotlessly clean, the food is always really fresh and cooked to order. It's lovely and hot and the chips are to die for. Paddock Wood is lucky to have this wonderful eating place.

Friendly people, great food - it's as simple as that. Really nice Breakfast fry ups (had one today), good lunch options and a few other things to keep you full up. Will definitely go again and already go there every month or so.

Always good food and friendly service

We ate here on a Sunday morning had the all day breakfast, impressed by the quality of the sausages and bacon especially and the rest of it was good. Good service.

What a lovely find, great Breakfast not greasy really nice and so much to choose from. Good cup of tea. didn't wait long.left very content,

I visit the cafe on a regular occasion with my family and it’s the best breakfast around with very friendly staff. It’s good value for money with a nice portion size! I would highly recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed.

Lovely place great customer service. I rate 4 stars would get 5 but was abit slow to get my grub and bacon was though. Still a good cafe would recommend.

I was shopping in Paddock Wood one weekday lunchtime and just couldn’t resist another visit. This time, I decided to be healthy and passed on the big breakfast, instead opting for jacket potato with tuna, one of my favourites when I’m out and about. With a large mug of coffee, at about £7.50, it’s a bargain but also superb! A really well cooked, tasty jacket spud with a salad of tomato, beetroot, grated carrot, cucumber (yuk!) and three different sorts of salad leaves. Not bad at all! Now you’d think it’d be hard to NOT get something like a baked spud right....but, believe me, I’ve seen many a place make it into a boring, tasteless, tummy filler rather than how the Village Cafe serve it - a delightful, delicious lunch. There are a few places offering similar fare in Paddock Wood but I’ve yet to try them. Why should I? When you get EXACTLY what you want and like, why go anywhere else? Well done Village Cafe. You are a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ establishment in my book.

I visit this cafe every week with my daughter for lunch. It is a family run exceptionally friendly business. Plenty of choice and good prices and very friendly and polite staff.

Great food and great value for Money and the staff are always very friendly and happy to accommodate to your needs
