The best restaurants in Tunbridge Wells South East

Absolutely loved the dog area nice and private away from all the other tables it was so lovely to be able to eat inside and enjoy having our dog with us on such a lovely sunny winter day. amazing food gluten free options happy days

In a nutshell: Food: The chicken was tasty with the mild sauce. Fries with piri-piri salt, also not bad -- honestly, better than KFC fries. Ketchup - really poor quality. Even Lidl & Aldi's house brand ketchup is way better. The rice is way over-spiced with chili. The side salad ... well ... it seems that Pepe's has never heard of such a thing as salad dressing. It's just bare lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. They have some 'garlic sauce' for the chicken that can double as salad dressing however We ate in which was okay. At least the place is relatively clean and has the feel of a somewhat acceptable fast food restaurant. All in all, reasonable compared to sit down restaurants. You can get a 1/4 chicken box for £7.69 currently. Add £2.50 for a meal (includes a soft drink and fries.) Did you know that Pepe's is a UK based chain? I didn't either. Now that you know you can try to visit all 192 locations and the two in Dubai.

Amazing chinese take away everytime su h delicious food highly recommend top wok is definatly the best Chinese takeaway away around I don't go anywhere else friendly staff quick service always a smile just amazing

Landlady was super helpful but they stopped serving food at 4pm. The Italian is no more which was disappointing. Good music.

Very good delicious pizza and good value

In the past this place has been quite lively and I've had good food and drink here but it seems to be on a real decline. When I went there was no music playing, which caused quite an awkward, sad atmosphere. The food was very low effort and the portions were small. I don't think I've ever had such a small ciabatta - it was the size of something you'd give to a six year old. The drinks were perfectly adequate but overall the experience was a real notch down from what it used to be. I would return if they improved but currently it's looking pretty sad.

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.

We'd wanted to try the tacos as we'd heard how good they are. They did not disappoint, we tried 3 different ones between us. My husbands favourite was Chicken Chipotle Taco and mine was the beef brisket taco. The staff were very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious tasty food. Thank you Mexican Dan and team.

Got a late night chicken don’t kebab with chips, it was fresh hot and delicious. Don’t understand the bad reviews!

Just got a takeaway and honestly the chicken was inedible. I think cooked & refrozen (and then cooked again). Whatever the cooking process, it’s not good. Weird freezer-burn taste and tough. I’ve been there once before & it was the same. Tried tonight as my couldn’t get to my usual takeaway as the A21 is closed. Was persuaded by some recent good reviews - curry houses have bad nights etc. Food is quite 90’s - sweet packet-derived sauces etc. Don’t mind that too much as takeaway is more about a night off. But the chicken. Guys come on - just cook it fresh. People have taste buds and I think value their health. given we’re in lockdown you can’t rely on a hoard of smashed idiots (me in non-lockdown) falling in to your curry house. Should be one star really. Staff are really nice so feel bad about putting this here. However, I’ll be the first to come back if you start cooking nice meals. You are after all the only curry house in cranbrook. However keep producing crap like I’ve just eaten and you’ll go bust.

Good ingredients but cold and worst poached egg I have ever seen. Service is non existent!!! How they had the nerve to serve this is beyond me… On a positive it is clean and toilet okay.

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.

Not up to usual Pret standards. Service was disinterested and surly, only 2pm but very little choice left in the racks. The sandwich and baguette we chose were both quite dry and tired, only the coffee was ok.

Great food and wonderful staff. Our son and daughter love after school treats here.

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.
