The best restaurants in Culverden Tunbridge Wells South East

Food was excellent. Atmosphere not a patch on the original Bill's restauraunts in Brighton and Lewes back in the day, this one provides a much more run of the mill decor and vibe. Smoothies good, but much smaller than the originals. Food highly recommended though.

First visit to Basils. Excellent selection of food and drink prepared and served with equal excellence. Acoustics are rather sharp when busy due to lack of soft furnishing but this is a price worth paying. Staff work tirelessly and are most personable with Terri making our exploration of the menu a joy rather than a chore. Thank you. Graham, Jacci & Rebecca

I booked Premier Inn Tunbridge Wells for a stay during a table football tournament, representing my country. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel was their breakfast offering and their "Good Night Guarantee," as we needed early starts each day. Unfortunately, the experience was far from what was promised. Upon arrival, we discovered that the restaurant was closed due to a rat infestation. This not only meant no breakfast but also raised serious concerns about the cleanliness and hygiene of the hotel overall. The fact that a rat infestation was even an issue speaks volumes about the level of upkeep here. Despite this significant inconvenience, Premier Inn failed to honour their Good Night Guarantee and refused to offer a refund or any form of compensation. I’m left feeling completely let down, and given the circumstances, I can only give this hotel a negative review. If cleanliness and basic service standards matter to you, I would avoid this location at all costs.

Popped in to pick up a veggie sushi box for lunch. Fresh ingredients & tasty. Would recommend. Thanks again!

We tried the new Clocktower Bistro expecting mediocre food. We were pleasantly surprised at the service (very busy) and delighted with our lunch, a creamy jacket potato with cheese and home made coleslaw plus a good crisp. side salad...all for £6.50. Great value will use regularly.

Beautiful grounds and hotel. Staff is very friendly. I can confidently say this is a must stay when you’re in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

I don’t often do KFC- it’s a rare treat for the kids a few times a year and often the expectation is low. I was pleasantly surprised (enough to share feedback). Lovely freshly cooked chicken that was indeed finger licking good! Everything was freshly prepared . The only minor thing is the now cooking and ready board which just was perplexing . They could also do with someone coming to clean tables down every hour or so aswell- it wasn’t bad but could be better . Other than that congrats to the team (Sunday 10th lunchtime )

Lovely place to pop in for some lunch. Dog friendly, nice and quiet with good food. Excellent friendly service too.

The ice cream is lovely. Their ability to put together a basic order is shocking. 3 times we have ordered from here each time the order has been wrong. When you call to explain you are told they wont send out a new order unless you re-order and pay for it on deliveroo or come to the shop to get it for free. Shocking service. Last time I'll be ordering here i think 3 chances are enough.

Normally very good.. tonight's delivery not great at all Chips cold Meat over cooked

Great service. Amaya and the rest of the team always go the extra mile and they make us feel welcome.

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.

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

We booked this hotel for a few nights away with our friends, one of which was celebrating her birthday. We didn’t know at the time that the hotel was offering a birthday treat of deducting the cost of the birthday person’s main course and dessert from the total bill. This was a lovely surprise and as we had eaten in the hotel’s restaurant on our first night, we were more than happy to have our friend’s birthday dinner there as well. The choice of food was very good. We all had a different choice on both nights and every dish was cooked and served to perfection. The Royal Wells Hotel is a very old Victorian building with bags of character. Each room has a different design, with unique furniture. The open plan reception area, lounge, bar & restaurant is a warm & welcoming place to sit and have a few drinks. All the staff were friendly and efficient. With a special mention to Adam & Millie. Unfortunately we didn’t get the name of the gentleman who served us at breakfast, but he also deserves a mention. Parking at the front of the hotel was not a problem while we were there, but that was in March, so it may be different in the summer months. The walk down to town took approx. 10 – 15 mins. There’s a short cut in front of the hotel across the road and through the park area. Royal Tunbridge Wells is very hilly, so the walk down is ok, but for some, the walk back up may take longer! We would definitely stay here again and have been recommending it to our friends and family.

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
