The Haworths I met friends for a light lunch and catch up. Everyone’s food was a hit. The service was really friendly and efficient. We were made to feel welcome and it wasn’t an issue when one of our party arrived a little late (she’d driven all the way from Hastings and said it was worth the drive!)

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.

Farris Willson I don’t think there’s many places as classy and professional as this restaurant around these areas. Amazing cuisine and welcoming was fantastic. The food was luscious and the soft drinks that I ordered where top notch to wash it all down. Especially I recommend you to try the Khan Mix Special. Thanks for the brilliant time spent dinning at your restaurant.

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

Desye S Thank you to The Poet for making my 40th birthday an unforgettable experience. We came to have dinner on saturday and only had positive things to say about our evening. Amazing service. As someone with seafood allergies, I felt that the matter was taken really seriously and every dish was presented and explained to me. The staff was meticulous and attentive. The fact that restaurant called me to make sure to know everything about my allergy was already a green flag in my book and a good start. The ambiance was really nice, cosy, and class. We enjoyed every little details. The food was succulent, the portions were good and every dish were packed with flavours. Everything single one of us at the table left satisfied. Compliments to the chefs. Overall I had a really good birthday and will definitely come back.

Cat Elms My daughter got married yesterday at this beautiful Little place nestled in the middle of Tonbridge Wells. Firstly due to a major issue with the water in the area we weren’t actually sure if the wedding would go ahead, but the fantastic staff pulled out all the stops and made their day so special and nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing as well as the staff just a fantastic venue for a wedding. I would thoroughly recommend this little gem! I will definitely be returning in the future for a nice meal!!
