Bill's Tunbridge Wells Restaurant — Restaurant in Tunbridge Wells

This Sunday we had a wonderful meal at Bill's. I recommend booking in advance as we couldn't get our first choice of 1pm and opted for 2pm. Luckily at this time we had the full menu on offer. I was spoilt for choice and torn between the vegan kebab, a tasty sounding burger or the vegan brunch plate, which is what I decided upon. As you can see from the picture, the food looked great and I felt I had won the best main. Personally, I would have liked a second sausage, however, that's probably just me being greedy. What I really appreciated was the scrambled Oggs as herbs and spices were added. Conversely, my father-in-law did not enjoy his macaroni cheese as he found it bland due to a lack of herbs and spices. When we spoke to staff about this they explained that the truffle oil, etc. was removed as they had customers dislike the taste. I feel others would enjoy the macaroni cheese that my father-in-law had so I don't feel Bill's should lose a star for personal preference. Also, they very kindly took the price of his dessert off the bill, something I feel they didn't need to do but we were grateful for the gesture. The salted caramel and chocolate tart was the perfect way to finish the meal, especially as it was accompanied by tasty coconut ice-cream. Staff were incredible throughout. They were not pushy to turn the table but were there if we needed anything. My 2-year-old was given colouring and he enjoyed his spaghetti. Toilets were clean but down some winding stairs that can be easily accessed if you're eating outside. Hopefully there is a ground floor accessible toilet as well. It was a truly lovely,...

This was my first time dining at this restaurant as well as a Bills establishment. At first glance, it looked very inviting and on a day as warm as when we visited, you could have been in a country nearer the Mediterranean. The menu was not vast, but was adequate for this level of dining. Some of the food ie chips came out warm rather than piping hot so had probably sat around for a while but food was otherwise tasty and enjoyable. During our meal, someone who was highly intoxicated came along and was disturbing a couple on the table next to us. At no time did any of the staff intervene or ask the person to let their customers eat in peace even though they were stood around and could see and hear everything. Overall, I think it was slightly overpriced but I have not done much dining since the price hikes so maybe it's averagely priced. Even though the staff didn't intervene with the outside visitor, they were very polite and service was good. I would recommend this establishment as was generally a very pleasant experience.

Update : Well, this has become my guilty pleasure place to go to which is usually once a week when I visit my partner in Tonbridge. We have been coming here since we first began going out 8 months ago. We normally just stop for an Afternoon Tea which even though we normally arrive too late, they will still kindly do one for us. Many places wouldn't do this type of thing so a huge thank you. A very welcoming bunch of people to greet...

We were down visiting Tunbridge Wells with the family for the day and fancied having dinner before going back to our hotel, it was a lovely evening and we had the dog so needed somewhere dog friendly with seating outside. Bills is located in the city centre and offers comfortable outdoor seating and is dog friendly both inside and out with a doggy menu available.

Our waitress was really friendly and bubbly, she sat us all down and recommended the meatballs and the chicken burger to which tasted delicious, Bills food is second to none, full of flavour and taste without charging a fortune. They have a large menu which is perfect for any taste, although it would be nice if they took back the ribs!

Service was really quick despite there being 8 of us, they really made us feel welcome and offered us blankets, colouring in pads for the children and greeted us with a jug of water on the table. It is slightly higher priced than other restaurants but is definitely worth it, the food is brilliant! Just remember to check your bill at the end as they always add on a service charge which is a little sly incase you don't notice as it is optional.

Will definitely be back to Bills...
