    The food was enjoyable however the little things add up to an overall poor rating. 1. The children's meals were delivered whilst still eating our starters, their plates abruptly removed whilst still eating the starter and when questioned why do it this way the response was "that's how we do it as little ones get anxious". This meant when the adults got their meals the children were excluded from the dining experience as they had finished their meals and were left sat there starring and waiting with nothing to do. 2. The beef was served red raw with no request made as to the preference of how we wanted it to be cooked, on asking for it to be cooked more the response was confused and "oh,I'll ask the chef" 3. The biscuit of the cheesecake was frozen solid and could not be broken even by a knife. 4. It was advertised thay the children would have an Easter egg as we had pre-booked, but this was not mentioned mor given upon finishing. 5. The service was rushed despite the restaurant being half empty This was disappointing considering it is presented as fine dining yet way off the mark for this calibre. We will ot be returning.

    As always - fantastic food and amazing service all within a stylish and chic environment. Love this place and then walking across to excellent live music within the stunning bar is an added bonus! Would definitely recommend. The steak deal on a Friday night is great value too.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the burger and fries, but my husband was disappointed with the ribble steak he ordered. He said it wasn't as tasty as he'd expected. But our evening overall was enjoyable. The staff were really good and attentive.

    Had afternoon tea for a friends birthday. Food was lovely but unfortunately the service was very poor. Staff member came over once to ask what tea we would like then 10mins later bought out the afternoon tea, did not mention what was in the sandwiches or the cakes etc.. never saw anyone again until an hour and half later when we was ready to leave. Would have been nice if someone had checked to see if everything was okay and if we would like some fresh tea. Disappointed as was a treat for friends birthday, nothing special. Don’t bother.

    A delightful venue for an Afternoon Tea in the heart of Tunbridge Wells. Lovely rooms and the tables are not too close together. All staff welcomed us warmly and were helpful during our visit. A wide variety of teas from which to choose and an extremely tasty selection of both savoury and sweet treats. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and we shall certainly be recommending and returning.

    Consistently great food and good service. Everything you could wish for from a roast dinner, all beautifully cooked. A reasonable selection of non- alcoholic drinks. Wine by the glass very reasonable. Cosy and relatively casual ambience.
