The best restaurants in Rusthall Tunbridge Wells South East

Spending the day in Tunbridge Wells and parking nearby we came across this small cafe and what a find, Marvellous coffee and two delicious baguettes so full marks for a relaxing lunch. I like the small amount of salad as well but would suggest giving out knives and forks to help eat the food! Thank you.

The food is excellent, and the service is excellent too,

We had an incredible dinner at The Counter. The flavors in each dish were outstanding, and the attention to detail truly set the experience apart. The wine pairings were expertly chosen and elevated the meal even further. We can’t wait to return and explore the lunch menu. A well-deserved 5 stars.

This was our second visit to the Red Lion. Again, the food was delicious, fresh and tasty. If you want to enjoy authentic, fresh, delicious and tasty Thai cuisine, then this is the place! The most delicious Thai food we have enjoyed since Thailand. Highly recommended!

The best bacon sarnie! Such a lovely environment and dog friendly,/ loving. A great treat for me and my fur baby. Thank you!

Had a lovely Christmas lunch with a group of friends. Shelley and Nicky did us proud! The food was just what we wanted (a mixture of vegetarian and meat) and delicious. Many thanks.

First time fir me getting a kebab here. My other half had lamb shish and I had chicken shish and a portion of chips. My Mrs was not keen on hers, she said the kamb tasted of Iron. I loved my chicken shish. Tender, tasty and fresh. I would prefer freshly cooked chips but that is always a question of timing. But I would return. Great to see paper boxes and not polystyrene.

Great service, great people. I recommend you give these guys a try!

Thin Crust Vegi - really Good would 100% recommend

This is the main restaurant for the Spa Hotel - a lovely hotel in Tunbridge Wells. We expected it therefore to be at least good and cancelled a restaurant booking in town to try it. There were very few customers when we went at 6.00pm on a Saturday evening. The restaurant itself is lovely inside and has great views and friendly, helpful and good humoured waiting staff who were brilliant with our 4 year old daughter. The problem is the food. It is expensive but hardly even mediocre. Our bread platter had bread that was so dry our daughter couldn’t eat it and we returned it. My starter was a meat terrine that was frankly a dull slab and rather tasteless. My wife had salmon mosaic starter that again was bland. Our main courses were pork belly - with mashed potato that tasted like Smash - and a vegetable petit pain concoction that was small and tasteless. My daughter had ‘fish and chips’ where the fish pieces were mainly a very dry batter like substance. Again she left most of it: I ate some to see why and regretted it. Dessert for her was fine but it was just fruit and ice cream. So the meal was expensive, very disappointing and very slow indeed to be served - amazingly so when at first we were the only diners. This is such a shame as breakfast in the morning is fine and again the serving staff are excellent. We will definitely stay at the hotel again but next time we won’t be having an evening meal in the restaurant!
