The Barn at Royal Tunbridge Wells offers a beautiful and unique setting for a wedding, blending rich history with rustic elegance. As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing stunning moments here, and the venue’s charm never fails to impress.

We went there for Christmas lunch with our friends and I can tell you this restaurant is one of the best in this category. Food was amazing , service is excellent as they are very friendly, professional and quick and their prices are acceptable. I would recommend it for everyone and I will go back definitely .

This was a lovely restaurant which I visited with a large group of friends, for a Christmas meal. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I chose from the Christmas menu. The pate was lovely. The lamb was cooked to perfection. The brownie was a bad dessert choice as it was dry and tasted floury, but I'm told by my friends that the sticky toffee pudding was delicious. The tables were quite close to each other, which made it awkward to get in and out from behind the table when paying a visit to the bar. This may just have been a temporary thing, as there were several large groups eating there that evening. I have only scored a 4 star as they did not have any vegan milk options, which is very disappointing when they list themselves as having a vegan menu.

We had our wedding at The Barn on the 28/12/23. Janet and Philippe and their team could not have been more helpful and attentive. We had less less than 8 weeks from start to finish and Janet told us everything we need to get done from booking the ceremony to advise on flowers suppliers, Toast Masters, DJ's, they were amazing. Philippe is head of the restaurant. They had plenty of menu choices and catered for various dietary requirements.We had the whole thing under one roof, so no transportation issues. The barn looked stunning, especially with the Christmas theme, our guests loved it. It was an incredible, magical day that we will never forget. Thank you Janet and Philippe

We recently had our wedding at The Barn and from the moment we contacted Philippe we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. With only 4 months between booking and event it was great that communication and planning with Janet was easy, flexible, timely and supportive – from our plans with various music playlists needed on different sound systems to arranging our rehearsal the day before, all the little details were accommodated. The location of The Barn is really accessible being in the centre of town, with plenty of places for guests to stay nearby, yet it feels very private as it is set away from the main road down a private street with no passing traffic. It is a gorgeous venue, really intimate but with plenty of space for our 70 guests, and the team had done an excellent job of setting up and laying out our table decorations beautifully; it was a wonderful space for us to connect with our guests. All the staff were professional, friendly and helpful throughout the event; many of our guests commented on how lovely they were, along with how fantastic the venue was. The food was delicious, guests choose from 4 meals on each course, and every one of them looked amazing, we’ve heard many compliments of every option. Service throughout the meal was excellent, a good level of attentive, efficient and unobtrusive, they served a large room at a good pace. The whole running of the day was done smoothly, changing areas worked really well, we hardly noticed the hard work going on downstairs while we had our meal. We can’t thank the team at The Barn enough for helping us have such a wonderful day and we highly recommend this wonderful venue!
