The Ivy Royal Tunbridge Wells - (Near Kent, South East)

Anthony T I arrived at this restaurant without a reservation and on a busy evening, but before the rush. I was seated quickly, and was able to enjoy a variety of Asian fusion dishes. Having lived in Hong Kong for a while, the atmosphere bought back memories along with catching the odd word of Cantonese. The food was excellent. The variety was good, and the speed of service was prompt. Given how busy this place is with take out orders I was impressed by how the manager (possibly owner) runs such a tight ship. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Julia Lu-Sellers Splendid Indian which happened to be our local one. All dishes are spot on. Staff very friendly. Only drawback is it could open for lunch too as these types of dishes dont digest this easily at night.

John Burdis We were looking for a place to grab a bite and saw this was top rated on Google, so popped inside. Luckily for us they could just squeeze us in and I have to say, we are both grateful for that, as this was an amazing find! First off, the staff were a delight and seeing as the joint owner is Mexican and hes one of the chefs as well. You can tell that his heart is in the place. In total, there were two Mexicans in the kitchen and by God it shows. When people talk about a taste explosion in your mouth, this is it! For a start, the colours are so vivid, its like a piece of art on your plate and once you take one mouthful, BOOM! That explosion happens. We had Chicken taquitos, Prawn, Birria, Pulled Pork, Chicken Guajillo and Steak Tacos. Plus a couple of specials and WOW! The only regret is that we dont live closer but we will return and with friends and next time we will book, as I would not be happy if I missed out on the food.

Bethany Parr Incredible as always! Never fails to impress us. Tried the salt and pepper squid for the first time and highly recommend - speechless! The squid melted like butter in your mouth ❤️ great value for money based on the quality and quantity of food. Also excellent wine, highly recommend the Monsoon Valley from Thailand. Enjoy :)

Andrew Downing The developing (as of end 2025) Caravan Tech outreach program? Seriously, not only did Caravan Tech fit me in for pressing work on my motorhome, at very short notice, Ian bussed me the short journey to the Merriments Café. Where we got a very dog-friendly welcome and settled into a log-burner heated snug with leather sofas and chairs. The rising price of coffees is not confined to this place, however. A popular venue which comprises tiled floors, country pine tables and some imaginative use of umbrellas hung from the conservatory-styled roof, to combat heat gain. Decent Wi-Fi helps, too. At the time of writing the early stages of the project plan to move the CT side of the business to this site is evident. My experience of both the café, the sale of equipment and spares and the workshop have been exemplary. Kudos. There is a baked goods display and a kitchen turning out food which seemed to go down just fine. I will happily return

Lisa Bedford Wonderful time spent at Poultwood Bar and restaurant, amazing food; especially the Sunday carvery Lots of fun events regularly attended, I am looking forward to celebrating Christmas here with friends
