The outside patio has been recently renovated and they have put in a barbeque for their new Grill Menu! This menu is 'To Die For'! Soooooo yummy! I miss my barbeque back in the States when I'm over here, so to find a place that new how to grill their food to perfection was a Godsend! The outside bar is fantastic with lots of Yummy drinks to choose from and has a lounging area with really comfy couches where you can just kick back and chill from a day of shopping or just to have a drink and relax! Whatever your poison you JUST HAVE to try this place! I am giving this place a thumbs up and will be recommending it to my friends and family!

We got there fairly early and had no trouble being seated, but this place fills up for sure! If they take ressies, try to make one! The staff was quick and attentive, and were always on the move helping one another out. My veggie full breakfast and flat white coffee was the perfect size breakfast and left me feeling just full enough to still comfortably walk around. Also, starting the morning off with a CBD beverage was an unexpected treat after a long flight and a night in a new bed.

There was no way we would have been able to make our dinner reservation or even arrive before closing. When we called the restaurant at the hotel, The Eating House, to inform them of our predicament, they kindly offered to take our orders over the phone so that we could get fed before the kitchen closed. The food was really good and very comforting in the wet and cold outside. There were four of us and we had pork belly, soup, fish, and salad with a pint of beer. The breakfasts were really special. Their full English breakfast included the blood sausage, tomato, eggs, bacon, and all the goodies accompanied by pots of tea and café latte. Service was gracious. Definitely recommend Tunbridge Wells Hotel Restaurant as a very good eatery.

If said Birthday happens to fall in Summer then it's even more perfect as there is a beautiful terrace garden that has the vantage point of being perched on a hill that overlooks the whole of Tunbridge Wells. The perks of this view are not restricted to the Summer Sunset, spending a Bonfire Night at the Beacon is an amazing experience as you look out onto a night sky full of fireworks from the town below. The building is beautiful, the food splendid and the view grand. I have been with groups of friends and family and never experienced any child phobia. There is a large grassy area, albeit a bit of a slope, if youngsters want to run around, but no play area is provided. It also has its own car park so no worries there for the designated driver.

Don't be fooled by his casual grace. He is a crook and a deviant of the highest order. With his quick feet and a mean set of alligator arms, he's a force to be reckoned with. The shark sauntered in while my brother and I were devouring bacon rolls (which were delicious) and pints in the darkest corner of the pub. Having spent the past hour frantically calculating the exchange rate, we were exhausted by elemental math and decided to throw caution to the wind. No amount of savings was worth this aggravation. Money is money...right? Fat and drunk is how we expected the evening to end, bank accounts be damned. Without even so much as a greeting, the scoundrel sidled right into our booth. Several quick platitudes later (which we could barely decipher through his garbled accent...English? Not any English that I've ever heard) and he was ordering food & drink like a man possessed. As his tab grew exponentially, so did our excitement. Dressed well, affecting a posh accent, and pontificating on his various business ventures, we were all but certain that our tab was paid. His temperament was even relaxed enough to bear the brunt of several jokes about his mangled teeth. Dear Diary...Jackpot! Our attitudes grew lofty and so did our ordering habits. I'm fairly certain we sampled everything on the menu. I excused myself to use the water closet as the Monopoly man slipped away from our table, slammed the door, and scampered off into the fog-laden evening. I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure we heard a faint, girlish giggle as the sound of dainty footsteps echoed down the alley. Inebriated, distended, and lethargic, I approached the bartender to inquire about our bill. He shrugged, I shrugged... "What was that?" I asked. He said, "That was £220." "What about the Monopoly guy? Surely he picked up the tab...what with his dapper attire, wanton ordering style, and his stories of fortune." The tender replied simply, "No such luck my kind Yankee. Cornwallis' Revenge strikes again."
