The best restaurants serving British food in Tunbridge Wells South East

Friendly local restaurant with great staff and an excellent menu, especially the duck parfait starter. Well done Sarah for looking after us!

Had a couple of parties here, which in the past have been ok, but recently at a family party, I had fish and chips that was cold, I had tasted the end and the fish was broken in half, I mentioned and they said the would heat it up..... For context I have a medical condition..... Waiter left, returned a minute later with the broken fish having been dipped back in the fryer and sodden with oil and inedible, not good, even though I hadn't eaten, annoying as everyone around me was eating and I felt self conscious, but not a problem with said medical condition..... When I went to pay, I said I have paid the £5 deposit each for myself and my partner, so please just take that off my partners meal..... To then be told I had to pay for my meal in full as "it had been cooked"..... After much discussion we came to an agreement, but definitely not the best food or customer service for me..... And stocks of certain very popular drinks were depleted and they were out of stock by 18:30pm

Extremely friendly, welcoming staff. A very good choice on the menu with choices for Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Vegan. Well presented and tasty food (my Hunters Chicken and Creme Brulee were delicious). Generous-sized portions and good value for money. Can certainly recommend.

We have visited here on many occasions, and it never disappoints. Delicious panini and toastie full of flavour. I found it quite amusing when I asked for more mayonnaise 😅 A must visit if you are in this area. We travel over 10 miles because of its quality food in a lovely location

We went to this pub unexpectedly for Sunday lunch. It’s was so good. The pub was busy both with food and without but despite this the staff were really friendly. The food arrived promptly and didn’t disappoint it was plentiful and yummie… the price point was just right… well done we will get back ….

Our first time here in many years but it didn't disappoint. We were made to feel so welcome from the moment we stepped inside to the moment we left. There were four of us and we like trying different venues to get out and about a bit. All of our food was exceptional, no-one was critical of any dish and we had a really enjoyable time. Thanks to the waiters and chef for a most enjoyable lunch, such a shame there weren't more people there to enjoy it. This place is so worth a visit and we will definitely return.

Was at the cross keys Sunday just gone with the wife.and the pub was very busy and there was a wait for food.but when the food arrived it was cooked very well and was very tasty.we had starters and my gammon was very nice.and my wife's pork was lovely.

Too expensive best go to next village even milk terrible price . New owner said they would do offers now say they won't...paddock wood better

Amazing cafe child friendly and really good prices would recommend to all. Friendly staff and always a good laugh

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.

Just don't order the food, service, management and vibe of the pub is brilliant, food on the other hand not so good. Will definitely go there for a drink again but will only get a packet of crisps to eat. Wish I didn't have to write this review as again the staff were lovely.

We had an amazing stay in an Indulgent room. Customer service was incredible from everyone we encountered and they went above and beyond for us. Room, hotel, grounds and spa were beautiful. Big, comfortable bed. Breakfast delicious. We had room service and cocktails delivered from the restaurant, also delicious. It truly felt like a relaxing getaway. Hotel room was not very soundproof but most guests were quiet. Would have liked to see more protein in the vegan options and the sheets felt like they may have been a blend but regardless would love to stay again and it far exceeded our expectations - highly recommend

Popped in for a snack lunch. Lovely selection of ciabattas available but landlady happy to accommodate the simpler tastes of two of our group and willingly provided cheese and ham baguettes. Good beer well kept (Harveys), tasty food that was nicely presented and value for money. Will visit 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.

This is for the restaurant only. The food is seriously overrated and completely overpriced. What a sad experience! We decided to celebrate a birthday there due to positive online reviews, but at this price point, the meal was the most disappointing we've ever had. The burger comes as a pathetic little dry piece of meat stuck between a burnt bun. No chips or anything, for this you have to pay extra. Actually, you'll have to pay for extra sides to accompany your main. They are priced as a great quality restaurant, but what you get is mediocre food. We decided to cut it short and didn't even order dessert. They brought a slice of cake with a candle on it as a birthday freebie, which was nice but sadly uninteresting and forgettable. Never again - the whole experience was laughable. The views are wonderful though.
