Always a great community pub, now slowly evolving with new owners into a lively atmospheric place to meet with friends, enjoy a changing selection of real ales and the food menu is growing. Had a lovely vegan chilli last night, delicious it was. And of course the live music every Saturday night entertains us very well! Lucky for me, it’s only a ten minute walk from home!

Fantastic food, very tasty with plenty of choice on the menu. Friendly warm atmosphere,regular quizzes and live music.too. There's a great selection of beers and ciders, many local. Lots of unusual bevvies, if you can't decide what you want, and fancy trying something different.

Lovely clean pub with friendly staff. Currently has no chef but there is a great pizza van on a Friday night in the car park. Dog friendly and lots of social events, sports, quiz nights and live music

Slightly away from the town centre, but well worth the extra 5 minute walk. Cask ales & keg beers served to the highest standard. Quality wines & real ciders. A superb gin & whisky selection extends beyond the usual brands. You are greeted with a warm welcome and can enjoy live music on Saturdays or festival weekends. Additionall events support good causes.

Very comfortable pub a short walk from Tunbridge Wells center. Cosy interior with a very good selection of local ales available. The two I tried were in great condition. There's a bar billiards table which looked in great shape, and a darts board. Didn't try the food. Service was very friendly. Well worth a visit.

Excellent local pub with a fantastic selection of ales and craft beers which are expertly looked after. Often have live music at the weekends. When the kitchens open the food is delicious, their burgers are fantastic. Service is always brilliant, staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. No it hasn't changed, it is still the best pub in the town.

Wow! My husband and I came today for Sunday lunch, we waited for 45 minutes for the food BUT boy was it worth the wait!! The beef was tender, the roast potatoes were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the veg were cooked to perfection. The portion size was very generous and the price was reasonable.The staff were lovely especially Lynn who was brilliant!

Great community pub with wonderful, engaged staff. Beer very well kept and an excellent selection of gin, ales and whisky. Not had the food, but looking forwards to trying. Always something going on, be it a quiz or live music. One of the last authentic friendly community pubs. Give it a go.

Can't fault this place. Been to the pub quiz (every other Thursday night, book your table in advance!) - fantastic atmosphere and the quiz master is hilarious! Also eaten there a few times - always delicious and food comes out in a timely manner considering it's freshly made. Really recommend!

Rcak246 (8 reviews) Eastbourne, United Kingdom Jason (the new chef), Lynn and the team look after us fantastically. We were a family party of 15 (plus Dennis the dog) and despite another large party in the pub at the same time, the food was served all together and was very good. I thoroughly recommend the Beer Battered Fish and Chips but the specials looked great too. Service was excellent and friendly. Lynn and the team made sure we had everything we wanted when we wanted it. The venue is well presented pub with decent car park near Tunbridge Wells town centre - very convenient meeting spot for our family from around Kent and Sussex. We will be back!
