Kavishka Wickramarathna I had a lovely stay at Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

M L Went to Bills for a brunch last Saturday with my friend for my birthday. Had a lovely time with our server Maddie who made it such a comfortable time and was really accommodating for my dog as well by getting her a water bowl. We were they for her two hours and never felt rushed with anything. Everyone around loved the dog and Maddie made such a fuss of her too as well as the other staff. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will go back.

Anna Robinson Every time I come here I try to order something different but each time I have to order the fresh sea bass and king prawn risotto. Soooo good and so fresh. The wines are superior to many places in Tonbridge and even if we arent eating we come here for the wine. Clive and his team are great hosts and makes a homely feel that other pubs dont have around here.

Nick K We ordered from MK for many times and forgot to review it. It’s very very very good especially for us. The taste is less sweet and sour as other Chinese takeaway does. This time we ordered Sing Chau fries noodle and duck fried noodles and the all time favorite wasabi fried pawn! The sauce is very nice. If you spend enough (forgot how much) you get free pawn crackers! It’s very a family business and it just good. It provides only take away ( no deliveroo etc) because it wants the food to keep warm.

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

Binodh C.B. We love coming to the Poacher and Partridge, sat beside the live fire sipping wine and a sumptuous meal. Food is brilliant especially the puddings. Tanya who served was extremely courteous friendly and helpful. Will be back soon.
