| Far better than before with a good range of beers, especially from Kent independents. Lots of passing trade from the train station make it busy and not one where it is ideal to sit and while away the time unless you like people watching. It is pricey but that is the way of the world and there aren't any many better pubs in the cere of T Wells. It does not open on a Sunday which is bizarre when other pubs nearby have their best nights on a Sunday. Missing a trick there.... mithrandir1967 - 28 Dec 2011 15:05 |
| This place has changed a lot in the last year or so. It used to be quite terrible but it has been smartened up and now attracts a nice crowd. The interior is trendy and well thought out. Lunches each time that I have eaten there have been a pleasant surprise. The one slight down side is that the beers are quite overpriced compared to other similar pubs in the area and the ales, whilst well cellared are not well poured. TartanWanderer - 20 Dec 2011 04:34 |
| The beer was too cold and consequently not in the best condition. Pointed this out to the barman, but he was an 'expert' and was having none of it. Judge for yourselves. halfabitterman - 28 Sep 2011 13:35 |
| Refurbishment (see below) has now taken place - and nicely done too. This pub is now blessed with eight hand pumps - four of them devoted to Greene King beers and the other four to the beers of Kent independent brewers. Beers well kept, but the drawback is their prices - which are frightful! Jack_Spraggon - 24 Jul 2011 09:30 |
| All the previous reviews are soon be become null and void! This pub is now being taken over by the local Royal Tunbridge Wells Brewing Company who are going to shut if for a few weeks to refurbish the place, returning it to a proper old style ale house, complete with 8 handpumps (7 being guests) and real cyder from polypins. This should be done within 1 -2 months, so I'll be able to review it once it reopens SouthEastAleLovers - 24 May 2011 10:10 |
