The Duke of York, Tunbridge Wells — Restaurant in Tunbridge Wells

Probably one of the best pubs I’ve been to—not just for the food, but for the atmosphere too. Upstairs, there’s a cosy tavern like theme with antiques from the last century and shelves of old books. There’s also a lovely seating area outside with a perfect for the summer and a roaring fireplace inside for the usual weather here.

What made the experience unique was the people working there. I was there with someone, and we ended up having a great chat with the chefs—who were incredibly friendly. Eddie, in particular, stood out. He was lovely to talk to and had fantastic taste in films, and an even better Gollum impression 😂. "HObbbitseeesss"

I had a classic burger with chips, and it didn’t disappoint—the burger was juicy, and the chips were crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, little wait time too. I also had a pint of Guinness, which was poured very well sometimes people will pour the entire thing immediately.

This is the second time we have visited this pub. We ate on Friday and food was ok. We asked for the bill which came out at 52.90. The barman brought out card reader and I trustingly thought that it would be for that amount. My husband gave him a £5 tip for which he was grateful. When I checked my santandar account the amount I paid was not showing as pending. It was not until Sunday that the money was taken. This was for £59.32. My fault for not checking card reader before going ahead. On the bottom of our receipt it had that an optional 12.5% service charge is added to tables of 8 guests of more. There were just two of us. Our visit now ended up £11 more. He was quite happy to accept our £5. My fault for trusting these people. We will not go back and probably not only check reader but pay by cash. Much safer. Like to hear what the Manager has to say about this. Probably...

Good location. Nice ambience, family orientated mostly locals in. But unfortunately the service was slow and not good at all. food was nice and warm but things were missing from the order because "I don't know why they wrote this in the menu, we never serve this with this dish" (actual reply from our waitress Cathy, one of the worse ones ever). We didn't have much of a choice at the time we've arrived. Given the chance, nope we won't be going back there purely of...
