The Royal Oak, Tunbridge Wells

Forget the past reputation, this is now an excellent venue thanks to the new ownership.

Very friendly and food is excellent value for money.

Worth visiting!

The Opera House, Tunbridge Wells

How this establishment can stay open with the service and terrible food the "chefs" serve up remain a mystery. Would they serve burnt and inedible food to their own families at home? I doubt it.

The Wetherspoons chain should be very ashamed to have this venue, especially with teenagers as young as 15 being served alcohol in there, but then that's probably due to the staff being too young to know any better and some don't even speak English.

The Barn, Tunbridge Wells

Visited the Barn last night with a group of friends and the service received made me feel strong enough to register with this website and leave comments.

I assume the bar was understaffed, assumedly a management problem, because the staff were continuously rude and stressed and couldn't wait to clear the pub out early. The empty glasses were all piled up on the bar to be washed up which they didn't have time to do and we were regularly interrupted by flustered staff telling us we were in their way.

We won't be visiting this venue again in a hurry.

I've rated the bar 3 simply for the pleasant garden area.
