| It seems that the Sunday Quiz has disappeared.... Popped in just before Christmas after about a year away. It wasn't as frendly as before, the sercice was slow and the beer far too cold. Literally lacked warmth as the fires were wimpy - pile them high and get some character back into the place! Could be a great pub but unfortunately it is far too complacent..... mithrandir1967 - 28 Dec 2011 15:09 |
| The Compasses never fails to delight. From the minute you walk through the front door. There are lots of nooks and crannies so you can always find a quiet corner. For summer it has plenty tables outside and in winter it has three coal fires roaring away. The cask ales here are the best in Tunbridge Wells by a mile. It is an uphill walk to get here but it is always worth it. Lunches attract both locals and office folk. In the evening it is mainly locals and the place has a lovely atmosphere. The menu is great and the food always looks and tastes great. The new landlord and landlady have maintained, possibly enhanced, every aspect of the place in the short time that they have been there. You cannot go to Tunbridge Wells without dropping in!! TartanWanderer - 20 Dec 2011 04:40 |
| Popped in here for a beer and a quick bite after a dreadful meeting in the locality and thought it worthy of recommendation here. Very impressed with the staff and the condition of the ales, good proper food and a nice atmosphere to lift my flagging spirits. Trencherman - 4 Jun 2011 14:56 |
| Very pleasant pub for a few beers or to start a night out. It's a Greene King establishment so has the standard ales and thankfully has 3-4 other guests which gives variety. Very good value, good atmosphere when busy and nice interior sussexboy - 20 Mar 2011 21:41 |
| I last reviewed this pub in 2008 and boy have things turned around. In 2008 the pub was badly run, the staff rude and disinterested and the beer very poor. Since then there have been a succession of mediocre managers and little has changed......UNTIL NOW. The current managers are friendly and courteous, as are their staff. The place has been smartened up, the food is good and reasonably priced and best of all they know what they're doing with their beer, with a varied choice of ales all of a consistently high standard. The Compasses is once agan one of the best pubs in town and long may it last! Davo1 - 25 Jan 2011 13:47 |
