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.

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!

Everything we ate was delicious and expertly presented. We started with Rusbridge Bakery Bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I didn't realise Rusbridges baked so many varieties. I had Wood Pigeon for starter, followed by Guinea Fowl, topped off with chocolate brownie with Taywells Honeycomb ice cream. My fellow diners enjoyed goats cheese, soup and trout to start, steaks and lamb for mains followed by lime cheesecake and panna cotta. I've not given a Tunbridge Wells restaurant more than three stars before. The Wells Kitchen deserves at least four stars. We'll be going back and I urge you to try it if you haven't been.

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.
