Wild Bean Cafe in Tunbridge Wells

We went for a special birthday lunch with a guest who is very hard of hearing. A table in a quiet alcove had been booked to cater for his disability. When we arrived, on time, this table had been given to others, seriously detracting from the experience. Whilst the staff on duty were friendly and helpful, there were not enough of them; the service was slow. Apart from the main course fish, the portions were very small. This particularly applies to the thimbleful of mushy peas served to my wife. The expense of refurbishment of this restaurant was wasted. The venue is letting down the reputation of Tunbridge Wells. We will not visit again.

Great service, ordered a chicken burger and chicken nuggets quite late in the night and all was perfect. No complaints perfect good food!

Excellent club sandwich and smashed avocado(my husband reckons it's the best club ever) Dan the chef is great as are allother operatives. Very reasonably priced..we used to go to Wagamama for brunch/lunch...not anymore

Asked for a table without a booking. The restaurant was mostly empty. Was told they couldn’t fit us in as tables were booked and they were short staffed by a miserable manager. Are down the road and walked past an hour later to the place being even quieter. Will not bother in future. It’s a shame as the manager the previous time from Maidstone said he was trying to help T Wells as it was underperforming be better.

The coffee and snacks are of a very good Costa standard and the staff are friendly and chatty. Although there is seating outside, it's good to be able to sit inside again. There's plenty of tables and a decent distance between them.
