The best restaurants in Goudhurst and Lamberhurst Tunbridge Wells South East

I genuinely think their hummingbird cake is the best cake I've ever eaten and I'm very much a cake afficionado. Absolute wonder. The place is gorgeous and tasteful and the service's lovely.

Building built in 1489. Flagstone floor. Amazing service. Top pub outside of Tunbridge Wells.

Called in after we finished our walk, had a lovely milky coffee, nice friendly staff.

WOW! Just, WOW! What an amazing restaurant. The food is just incredible. All the staff have a real passion for what they are doing and provide great service.

Immediately felt made to feel special and like a regular customer. Cottage pie was really good had a special smokiness to it. Would definitely return, although an hour and a half from where we live so not local. If over this way again will make special trip to return. Lovely welcoming environment 😊

Stopped for tea and cake whilst travelling through. Obviously popular with locals as it is a tea shop and does takeaway sandwiches made to order. Looked fine, nice old building but the flies at this time did not make for a good feeling. The tea was very weak probably because the cup was too big, I couldn't tell that I was drinking earl grey. Cake was fine.

We had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon after a Pumpkin patch. Service was super friendly, food was on time & very tasty. Found portions were super generous. Very cosy inside. Thank you

Great food and service from Adam we did an overnight stop for dinner in our Motorhome. Lovely decor and ambience. Nice to find a business sourcing local produce and we thought good value for money given the quality of the food and presentation. The only downside was the discretionary 12.5% service charge. We always reward great service with a tip and always object to this being added on especially 12.5%! That said Adam was charming and very gracious when we challenged 12.5%

food very poor. the worst apple crumble I have ever eaten. poor presentation.Waiters need training. chef needs replacing!!

Great pub. Great food. Great service. We arrived on a Friday steak night and luckily we had booked as the pub was packed. Really great steaks and nice attentive service. Good wine list and accepted a recommendation for a nice red.

Took my son for a Sunday dinner treat at this quaint pub , on the outskirts of the village. Admittedly, third choice of venue, more local pubs were busy… this one , perhaps tellingly was not. Staff , pleasant enough- shown to our table and service quickly made. The carvery had the usual choice of 3 meats, roast potatoes & decent Yorkshire pudding- just the vegetables to help yourselves to - not a massive choice. Plates could have been warmed ( food got a bit tepid towards the end ) and also could have been cleaner - I had to swap a plate over before having my dinner served on it. Not sure about the ( presumably) member of staff stepping out the kitchen munching on a roast potato, while walking around the restaurant.. All minor details, until I paid the bill- which for 2 carvery dinners & three & a half pints of Inches cider totalled £57.55 . I didn’t think that was particularly good value, and was told I couldn’t have a receipt, so I couldn’t see the price breakdown. Shame ☹️

Excellent food at the Star and Eagle last night for a Lodge function. Very good charcuterie board to start and the belly pork was outstanding. Service was impeccable as usual. Looking forward to our return in April!

After queuing for at least 30 minutes I ordered a takeaway Tuna sandwich coffee & cake, paid & waited at the till, if I’d have had the sandwich to eat in it would have come with a small side salad & coleslaw which it didn’t, I asked if I could purchase a small pot of coleslaw whilst still standing at the till area & waiting for coffee? & told I’d have to start & queue again!! I have a walking aid so this wasn’t an option. I appreciate how busy it was yesterday as I have worked in the same kind of establishment for many years. Also the additional 15 pence for a takeaway cup is appalling.

Lovely setting and tasty food, but really let down by staff who were sullen and made us feel very unwelcome. Sadly, we won’t be coming back.

Great place to drop into if you want a quick cup of coffee (and/or snack). The service is quick and friendly and the coffee is good. You can either drink it in your vehicle or at the outdoor tables (with good views across the surrounding countryside), as long as it's not raining or cold.
