Waitrose Cafe in Tunbridge Wells

Love this place. Recommend the paratha bacon roll!

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.

I came to the cafe on Saturday afternoon and I felt that this cafe could be greatly improved. We had the only cakes on offer (maybe there's sometimes a better selection?) which was muffins in packets. I also had a flat white. Unfortunately, the muffins were really synthetic tasting, with very long use by dates. The coffee wasn't barista coffee, so wasn't very good - came from one of those machines with a picture of the drink that you press.. always a bad sign. My coffee definitely wouldn't pass as a genuine flat white, more of a watery white coffee. The view was great but the floor was covered in litter and bits of food/chips etc. felt unloved. The staff were really nice and friendly though. Please get some fresh cakes and proper coffee! The standard felt like it was more like something from 10 years ago.

Amaya is so lovely and friendly, really good experience.

I have just paid £19.20 for a pint of old mout a lie glass of pint and a packet of pork scratchings. Used to luke the Bedford but that's my last visit. Shocking.
