The Barn, Tunbridge Wells

My wife and I went The Barn last night for a celebratory birthday dinner. I must say the we were more than a little disappointed.

The starters were fine, you cannot really go to wrong with deep fried brie.

Both main courses were more than a little disappointing. My wife's lamb had about an inch of fat on it. There was more fat than meat. I had the braised steak, the meat was chewy and had not flavour to it what so ever.

Then we get to dessert !!!!!!!! where do I start. My wife had a baileys cheesecake, although it was homemade the base was a digestive power, there was no crunch to it and the rest of the pudding tasted like whipped cream. I had the sticky toffee pudding with a butterscotch sauce, what a joke this was. The butterscotch sauce was just butter and a bit of syrup. The pudding part of my dessert was sitting in flapjack mix but without the oats.

This meal cost �65.00 including a bottle of wine. Needless to say we will not be going back there in a hurry.
