Best Seasonal Restaurants in Goudhurst

Our afternoon tea experience at The Ivy at Tunbridge Wells was exemplary. We went for our anniversary and the food, service and ambiance were amazing. We were even given a complementary ‘Happy Anniversary’ desert, which was very unexpected and a lovely gesture. Thank you to everyone who made our experience so memorable.

I don’t think there is a better restaurant around here. The food is absolutely outstanding, and they are very accommodating if you need some variation! Services is outstanding again, every single little touch is just amazing! Wine pairings so well done. I can’t recommend this enough. Thanks for another great night! Steph xxx

Cannot fault this place. 2nd time coming back and we had the valentines menu this time. The food is fantastic and service is incredible. Staff are so lovely. Always a great time here.

We had a lovely evening at Essence and felt welcomed and at ease from the moment we arrived. Service was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the food and the fact that it was a decent portion size. We shared two starters and two mains with rice. We found the overall price pretty reasonable and will be back to sample more on the menu! Essence is definitely a great asset to Tunbridge Wells!! Thank you for a fun evening!!

We had a fantastic dinner here! Thoroughly recommend! We had starters, mains and dessert consisting of prawns, wings, steaks and lamb. Every single dish was not only delicious but well thought about and cooked perfectly. The dessert was to die for (choux bun filled with pistachio ice cream). The service was exemplary - instantly felt welcome - so friendly. Thank you for such a lovely evening. Will definitely see you soon.
