great for people watching!
A wonderful place for the discerning gentleman who wants to sit and watch the waitresses in their french maids outfit. Thats right, you read correctly!

Its quite amusing watching some of the older male folk sitting uncomfortably in this tea room, trying to appear uninterested in the waitresses as they walk by. Take a visit and see what i mean!

Food wise, its not bad, a good selection of classic tea room goodies. Quality of food is far superior to what you would expect to find in a food hall within a shopping centre. Tea and coffee is above average, but obviously not as good as a proper coffee house.

Worth a visit though!

Tasteless!
How can i sum Muffin Break up? i'd say...'Ugh! Vomit!'. Either that or highly processed tasteless food.

Upon initial inspection of the cakes and goodies on sale, you will be forgiven for thinking they look really nice and the portion is large.

Yes you do get a lot, but it doesn't actually taste of anything. I had strawberry cheesecake and tried someone else's chocolate gateau. Amazingly they tasted the same. Thats not right is it??!!

Coffee and tea are ok though. However if you venture up the escalator and walk 50 yards you have the choice of costa or cafe nero so i'd advise to take a little stroll and get something you won't regret buying!

Avoid!
Very difficult to rate KFC as its a franchise which 'should' be the same as all other outlets.
This in principle is the same as McDonalds in the Victoria Place - dont expect to be served by someone who can speak English.
Therefore, for a swift and relatively painless experience at the till know what you want beforehand and do not deviate from the menu. Don't make eye contact and whatever you do, don't make any sudden movements.
The food is as you would expect, greasy, far too hot and the sizing of chicken pieces is as much of an issue as it is in all other KFC outlets. Taste is as you would expect of KFC so no suprises there.

Excellent!
The Hare in Langton Green is situated right on the cricket field by the church so you can't miss it! Parking may be a problem - there are a few places outside but it is also on a very busy road so BE CAREFUL!! Lots of accidents on the cross roads!
The pub itself is really cosy, a wide range of drinks and friendly staff.
The restaurant is equally romantic and the quality of food is amazing. You have a huge choice of locally sourced foods and many specials to choose from.
Puddings are also fantastic so make sure you leave room!

What more can i say?
What can you say about McDonalds that isn't already known? Its awful. Especially this one in Victoria Centre.
The staff don't care, most can't speak English and the food quality is lower than the McDonalds situated next to the sewage works in Tunbridge Wells Industrial Estate.
Last time i went to this outlet, the food was literally thrown into the boxes, the chips were cold, the drink was flat and they shortchanged me.
I can't stress it enough, avoid! There are plenty of other alternatives which are cheaper! Think of the children damn it!
That said, i do like the big mac sauce. Yummy.

How much?!
In a word, expensive. My main bug bear, as im sure everyone will agree, is that if you order a spirit such as vodka, you WILL be given a double. You specifically have to order a single. Many people initially get caught out with this so you have been warned! There are far cheaper places around Tunbridge Wells, the Barn being one just down the road.
However, saying that, the Pitcher and Piano is predominantly the main pub to go in the evening or weekend.
A relatively small range of bar food is also available, but again, expect to pay a premium for this.

Perfect!
Relish is easy to review - its fantastic for both takeaway and a sit down meal.
Let me give you an example. Across the road in marks and spencers you will pay £3.00 to £3.50 for a relatively large sandwich which has been made on a conveyor belt. In relish you will be asked what type of bread or roll you want, what you want in it, then you watch them make a huge doorstop in front of you, pile it high literally to the point where you can't bite it and then charge you less than M&S. It is truly amazing just how much food they manage to cram into one sandwich or roll!
The main meals are equally high quality and again, not expensive.
They also open later in the evenings now which is great for after work.
If you want to go anywhere in Tunbridge Wells, you absolutely have to go to Relish!

Above average!
For a takeaway pizza, Domino's is the most well known in Tunbridge Wells, with the exception of Pizza Hut. Despite being on the outskirts of the main town they seem to do a roaring trade.
if you want some advice, give them a ring - they will talk you through all their special offers, even the ones you can normally only get on the internet.
However, its a good idea to at least have an idea about what type you want. Take a look on their internet site for this. Ordering through here is so oeasy, you also have the choice of paying on the internet by card, or waiting for the delivery to arrive and pay in cash.
When it does arrive, its suprisingly hot - far hotter than if you went to get it yourself. So delivery is the best option. Just don't forget to tip!
There is a great choice and types of pizza available, along with the usual starters and desserts.

Unusual experience, but well worth it
i wasn't really sure what to expect when i first went here. However it's a great experience and the food is excellent. A huge choice for all tastes and the quantity is suprising large, especially with the soups.
The seating arrangement is unusual in that you sit on benches and therefore could be sat next to someone you don't know, but it seems to work.
For those who can't use chopsticks, you do have to ask for cutlery!
Prices vary depending on type of main course, but all are affordable.
Overall this is well worth a visit. It is also worth joining the mailing list on their website as there are offers and discounts. Most recent one was buy one main meal get one free!

Not bad, but could be better
The Barn is a simple place to go for a drink or a bar meal. Over the last few years it has tried hard to improve its image through redecorating, adding sofa's, extending outside and improving its menu. However, it still lacks something.
Perhaps its because its one of the main bars for Friday and Saturday drinking hence is always busy in the night. Lunchtimes are busy too, especially at 1pm, so make sure you get there early.
The quality of food is really good though, their chip butties are excellent! However the rest of the menu is suprisingly diverse and well worth sampling
