The best restaurants serving British food in Southborough North Tunbridge Wells South East

Having eaten several times at a pub run by the now owners of Tallow, we were keen to try their new venture. A way to travel for us and expectations were high… First impressions were of an inviting looking building, second impressions were of a warm, cosy place heated with a log burner. It was a cold, damp night but all this was immediately forgotten as we became enveloped in the Tallow magic. Nice decor, a mix of old and the more contemporary; stripped back wood and brick which complimented the building itself, with the statement fireplace and central winding staircase, a really lovely atmosphere. The waiting staff were all that you could wish for and more. Each course was described by the staff as it was served and just as delicious as its very explicit description. Without being told, our server asked if I was Vegetarian as I had chosen plant based options for both my starter and main courses. Without being asked, two different amuse bouche arrived, one for me and a different one for my husband. It’s little details like this that separate this restaurant from a lot of others and possibly why, on a wet Wednesday evening in November, every table was taken - bar one! Delicious food, beautiful surroundings, first class waiting staff, everything that we had hoped for and more. Would definitely recommend

Turned up for lunch whilst travelling through and met for a family lunch. First impressions of the decor were excellent and the whole experience lived up to that first impression. Superbly made & presented food, absolutely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their choices. Andy, the main chef, is clearly very dedicated to producing superb food. Our waiter, Don Vito, was brilliant at his job and clearly enjoyed it very much and took his quality of service very seriously. He is a great character and is good fun. An asset to this restaurant. We will be back for sure.
