Dunorlan Park Café

Dunorlan Park Cafe is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, thanks to its location in the beautiful Dunorlan Park. The cafe has a varied menu, offering something for everyone. The jacket potatoes are my goto dish there, with the skin just crispy enough and the flesh fluffy and soft. They're then filled with your choice of filling, from the classic cheese and beans to chilli con carne. The fillings are all fresh and delicious, and the portions are generous. In addition to jacket potatoes, the cafe also serves a range of other dishes, including breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, and cakes. There's also a good selection of drinks, including coffee, tea, smoothies, and milkshakes. The service at Dunorlan Park Cafe is friendly and efficient. The staff are always happy to help. Overall, Dunorlan Park Cafe is a great place to stop for a bite to eat while you're exploring Dunorlan Park. The food as well as the service is good, and I would recommend this place!

Went for breakfast. Had two fry ups and one egg & bacon roll, one latte and 2 cokes. Cost £23, very good value for money and very nice food. The cafe is set high up overlooking the park and boating lake. A lovely place for a walk and some nice food. Dogs not allowed by the cafe area. Didn't take a photo of the food but have some nice ones of the park.

I dropped in to Cōte for breakfast. Eggs Benedict was very slightly undercooked but not at all an issue. The food presentation was excellent. Earl Grey tea served with milk (American habit) rather than lemon (British), but this was quickly addressed by the table staff bringing me a small plate of sliced lemon. Customer Service was excellent. I'd be very happy to have breakfast here again, but would ask for lemon rather than milk as the majority of guests probably drink Earl Grey the American way. Edit I have made a second visit to Cōte in Tunbridge Wells, on this occasion for lunch. I chose the set menu and wasn't disappointed. The Sea Bass was cooked to perfection. The starter was very enjoyable, although the crape was a little on the dry side. The customer service was excellent. I think the only improvement would be to replace the circular pattern floor tiles which looked tired and worn. The floor tiles looked a bit grubby but I think that was due to wear, and would look the same no matter how many times they are cleaned. I definitely will be eating at Cōte Tunbridge Wells again .

From the moment you enter the Côte Restaurant, you will be impressed by the spacious interior, with its cosy yet elegant atmosphere. The extensive menu offers a delightful array of choices, from classic Full English breakfast to authentic French delicacies. Every dish I tried was bursting with flavour and made with fresh ingredients. The French toasts with berries were fantastic! Although portions could be a tad bigger, the taste was exceptional. The service was friendly and efficient, and the staff made the visit even more enjoyable. Despite being part of a chain, the food quality here is top-notch. While enjoying your meal, you will notice the beautiful and charming garden outside, perfect for enjoying a sunny morning or a leisurely brunch. Overall, this brasserie exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be returning to try more. Highly recommend this spot for a delightful dining experience!

Have been here for many time in UK, but it is still my favourite restaurant in UK! Staff are very nice and service is up to high standard. They also know my birthday and sing a bday song to me with a free dessert! Thank you all the staff in this restaurant !

Service is good, particularly the lovely lady with glasses who I assumed was the manager. Food is good (apart from the Cote burger which I thought was quite bland), and it’s a very nice place to sit and have lunch. I do think there is a bit of a value for money issue as some of the portioning is very tight compared to what you have to pay. Over 5 pounds for a small side serving of creamed spinach, for example. We still did have a good time and enjoyed our desserts too, and despite a kerfuffle with our ordering we still left happy as the manager rectified things by generously writing off some of our bill. I also appreciated them acknowledging my Dad’s birthday by lighting a candle and coming over to give best wishes. If you don’t mind the cost and want good service and a classy lunch, this is the place.

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 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!

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

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.

Great park! The ice skating rink was there for the season and although we didn't actually skate we did go to the cafe there and bought a coffee and a breakfast bap which really delicious and value for money. The park has a playground, tennis courts, croquet lawns and outdoor gym equipment. Something for everyone.

Held a 60th birthday get together in their private room upstairs. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, they allowed us to really enjoy ourselves and we were also allowed to play our own music which was a touch!! Thank you to the team for making us feel welcome and accommodating us so well!

Bar staff were friendly and happy to adapt drinks on request. The atmosphere was friendly and there were plenty of seating options inside and out. Outside has rain cover and heaters. Paid parking at the back of the pub. Free after 6. Live DJ gave a lively atmosphere, if a little loud for conversation but outside was quieter.

I had the sincere pleasure of photographing a wedding here in June of this year (2024). As a Kent resident and local wedding and family photographer, I was so looking forward to working at The Beacon - having heard many good things about it through other photographers, and it did not disappoint! The staff were incredible! So welcoming, friendly and impeccably organised! I now understand why so many enjoy visiting and working at this venue. The grounds are stunning. It truly is the most impressive and beautiful location/backdrop for a wedding. Especially during the Spring/Summer months!I can't say enough nice things about it and I very much hope to have the pleasure of returning again in the future. Thank you to the wonderful staff at The Beacon for making my first wedding there one to remember for all the right reasons! To any prospective couples looking for a country garden-inspired wedding venue in the heart of Kent - I have a strong feeling that you will simply love The Beacon!

Another great dining experience for a group lunch a couple of weekends ago. Manager was particularly helpful as they had run out of Champagne, except DP. He kindly found another bottle not on the wine list which he offered to us at a discounted price. The food was great, specifically the crab with Tabasco. Only blip on the landscape was the mussel dish which was a little bland. Particular mention to our waiter Simon who was so helpful and made an impression with the whole table.

Our third visit and have come to recognise and understand the quality that oozes through the menu, the service and the atmosphere. Pretty sure the Beacon is unable to turn out a bad meal or a disappointing experience. The crew are on it and creating a delightful experience is their thing. Attentive. Charming. And capability in spades. Bravo! 👏👏

Popped in to Bill's today for brunch after searching Google for restaurants in the area that cater for Gluten Free dietary requirements and we are so glad we did! The staff were super helpful and the GF menu was comprehensive. We both opted for Bills Big Brunch ( one GF and one standard ), what arrived was a very large plate of deliciousness and we thought it was excellent value for money! The restaurant itself has a beautiful "Cosy Club" atmosphere and decor.. I'll definitely be back soon!

The Saturday before Christmas was busy but managed to find a table. The staff were good at finding tables and chairs for people. Unlike the Tonbridge one it seems they do table service. I chose the Christmas sausage roll and the sweet potato chick pea salad. The roll was nice and flaky but not as tasty as a normal sausage one. However the salad was lovely. It doesn't look that attractive but it was very tasty. I've never eaten the skin of a butternut squash but the pieces in the salad were beautiful roasted and soft. It seemed this was the most popular salad as I saw several others go for it and I'd certainly have it again.

Love this little place!! Been here a number of times and sat outside in the sun. The food is always excellent, the drinks too and all reasonably priced. Staff are always friendly, helpful and welcoming. If I am in town and want to grab a coffee, I much prefer this than the other bigger chain brands close by.

First visit to Basils. Excellent selection of food and drink prepared and served with equal excellence. Acoustics are rather sharp when busy due to lack of soft furnishing but this is a price worth paying. Staff work tirelessly and are most personable with Terri making our exploration of the menu a joy rather than a chore. Thank you. Graham, Jacci & Rebecca
