This is a rather charming place in Calverley grounds, a Victorian park that runs to the east of the…read moretown centre. Think bandstand, think fondant fancies, think cups of tea, think snoozing in deckchairs, think prices that would have the Cafe Nero brigade choking on their herb infused, lightly smoked organic boar and mango jus paninis. Very English indeed, a look back in time to a world of simpler pleasures...........

Quite a good range of ice-cream for refreshment in the summer. Try to get a seat on the band-stand, or use the tables outside in warm weather. Quite a few seats on the inside.

This place was slammed when I popped in last Saturday but the staff at the counter and the hostess…read morewere still quite friendly. I got the spinach, coconut and turmeric soup for takeaway as well as two of the lovely, heaping salads displayed on the counter. The soup tasted lovely! Thick and creamy with a hint of the coconut shining through. The butternut squash and fennel salads weren't amazing but they hit the spot. The three massive protein balls though were actually the star for me (I know, weird). But they were crumbly, tasted like PB and were chock full of chunky walnut pieces. So basically deliciousness. Lots of yummy desserts on the counter to tempt you as well! A very diverse menu overall and cutesy inside.

Now we found these guys completely by accident and it was a very nice accident. While in search of…read morecoffee and breakfast on an early Monday morning we were pleasantly surprised to see smith and westerns open for business. After entering this Wild West themed bar/restaurant we looked at the menu and were pleasantly surprised to see a good variety of food options for carnivores and vegetarians alike. The service offered was great and the food arrived promptly but not too quick. The coffee was better than many I have tasted from all over and defiantly hit the spot. The food came out and was hot and tasty. Emma enjoyed her vegetarian sausage sandwich with hash brown. My pancakes were good and tasty too. My only request would have been to have crispier bacon on my pancakes and the hash browns to be made in house. Other than that keep up the good work.

If you're hoping to enjoy a quiet dinner for two however, be prepared to shout over the sound of the birthday cavalcade that appears to arrive every 20 minutes or so. You will hear the clanging of the bus boy's warning gong long before they appear with the firework laden ice cream bucket. Food is no-nonsense American grub with all the trimmings. Why you need to sample cooked AND raw onions in your burger is quite beyond me though. Although the dishes are attractively presented they do lack flavour, which leaves your belly kind of full but your taste buds disappointed.

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!

Gatwick was fogged in when we were flying from Bordeaux resulting in a seven -hour delay for our…read moreEnglish arrival. 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.

Love the coffee here! It's just as good as you get in Italy and Corsica... And that's saying…read moresomething. The food is fairly standard fare i.e. baked jacket potatoes with various toppings, freshly made sandwiches (with a good selection of fillings), breakfasts (with a minimal veggie option, could be better) and a fairly good selection of cakes. But for me the croissants and pain au chocolat with my coffee are the highlights as they are all as fresh as fresh can be... Not to mention the fruit smoothies are a real quencher on a hot day! As for the price, it's damn reasonable, bearing in mind the quality... Don't forget, they serve Torelli coffee here (the best coffee in town)! Friendly and helpful staff too (if you make the effort).

Just opened (yesterday) so too early to give Taywell's a rating (so the one star is only because I…read morecan't leave the rating blank!) . Occupying the former futon shop 'Shao Lin', Taywell position themselves as a shake, smoothie and coffee shop - however they also sell chilled and frozen ready dinners from Cook, local beer, wine and cider plus smoked and fresh meat and fish, pates, chutneys, cheeses and loads of impulse-buy items that you really didn't think you needed! They also operate a farm shop at Goudhurst and their own provender is available in the 'deli' section - the premises are divide in two with a shared space at the back. If you're dropping in for a coffee there's seating at the back (rustic pine but comfortable) and downstairs - apparently they offer free wi-fi and newspapers. For the opening there's a £1 promo running on coffee and shakes - so make sure to collect the voucher on the counter. I'll be back to try the breakfast smoothie. Definitely worth a visit so give it a try.
