Fabulous food Fabulous service, so welcoming! Been twice in the last month and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. So nice to find and support independent local restaurants.

Everything about Ela Bella deserves 5 stars. My companion has been twice before and upon arrival the maître d' and waitron recognised her with a warm hello and welcome back. We enjoyed the Sunday special which was delicious with generous portion sizes. The music was at the perfect volume; creating just the right ambiance. We all agreed that we will be back!

Lovely restaurant, our waiter was friendly and made a delicious cocktail. Food was nice and portions accurate. I found it a bit pricey but overall a good experience.

This coffee shop is a gem, offering fantastic iced coffee that's perfect for a hot day. Their lunch menu is delightful as well, making it an ideal spot for a quick bite or a leisurely coffee break.

HIGHLY recommend checking out this cafe! The staff are all so wonderful and were very accommodating to our party of 7 on a busy morning. The food and coffee are so delicious - a lovely English Breakfast to kick start our UK trip. Plus the atmosphere is beautiful, both inside and out

Seems to be the only cafe in Hildenborough. I love the vibe of a local place in its lovely light olive green decor. Staff is helpful and at ease, and I felt relaxed enjoying my lunch. Food and drink are good overall, and prices lower than Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, which is a plus and I come here quite often even I am not a local resident.

I've been wanting to visit here for some time, but hadn't got around to it, I'm glad I did and will not leave it long before revising, it is a lovely cafe. The space outside to take our little dog was excellent. Service was certainly with a smile, but the food hits the spot. Toasted falafel and humus wrap was lovely but the Super Strawberry milkshake a glorious indulgent treat. Not just a treat for us but we also noted a group of workmen tucking into some breakfast baps and the bacon and egg varieties did look delicious. It is great to have a place like this in Hildenborough, clearly popular and deserved so.

I love this restaurant. We often take the (teen) kids here. Feels like authentic cuisine. Service is friendly and unfussy. Good selection of drinks always a non-alcoholic beer. If you're planning on going by train it is a bit of a walk from the station but there is plenty of parking over the road near the castle. Highly recommend as your dining place if you are in Tonbridge.

I cannot fault the food and staff here, they were all so lovely and the food was amazing! We celebrated a big birthday meal here because we knew it would be amazing, as always…great prices, amazing food! 10/10! They really did go the extra mile and I cannot thank them enough. Thank you!

Iiving in Tunbridge wells means low quality Indian food so the Cinnamon Kitchen can easily stand out. The service was good on the whole, some staff were extremely friendly and others looked grumpy, no complaints. Starters of lamb chops, duck tikka were cooked nicely and packed flavour, presentation was good. Main course I ordered the spiciest dish, this wasn’t very hot but next time I will get them to add more chilli. I do like hot food. The rest of my party (4 in total) were happy although a couple of dishes tasted too sweet for me, but that’s me. Sides were all good including the tarka dhal . Bill? Including 3 starters , 4 mains, 2 rice, dhal , spinach side , 6 popadoms , 2 ice cream desserts, 3 beers , 2 J2Os , 2 cokes and an Irish coffee. £190 (including service charge). I wouldn’t say it was outstanding but I’ll definitely go back.

I had a pleasant experience at the Half Moon Pub. The establishment was clean and tidy, and the staff were very friendly. They offered a standard selection of beers and a reasonable variety of bar snacks. The pub had a large internal space, along with a small outside garden featuring a decked area out front and a covered conservatory. Another plus was the availability of parking both at the front and rear of the pub. While I didn't try their food, I found the overall ambiance and service quite enjoyable.

Great local pub and staff are always friendly. They do some classic pub food served very casually - no gastro prices here! Sports are normally on but there's places to sit away from that if you like. Pool table at the back too. There's also some great local history which is worth looking into, especially if you're interested in world war 2. A spitfire crashed in the rear garden and some relics from that are on display, and a plaque dedicated to the pilot is above the door. There is a detailed display about a German Heinkel He111 bomber (serial number 3233, V4 + KL of 3/KG1) which crashed nearby stocks green and was displayed in the front car park to raise money for the spitfire fund during the Battle of Britain

Verdigris is always incredible, fantastic food and atmosphere. They always take note of requests and staff are so friendly and attentive. They go above and beyond to make each visit memorable. Had a high table on the terrace which was awesome! Best views over the river and the cheese board and rose were so delicious (and very instagrammable haha) Very enjoyable afternoon! We’ll be back for sure! Thank you!

Nice quiet place by the river. Good selection of veggie options, and the food is presented and tastes great whilst the prices were still reasonable. It has outdoor seating too, that even on a cold grey day; it was still nice to sit there and have a tasty lunch.

Popped in for a coffee to meet up with a friend. Cannot comment on the food but the plates brought out looked nice enough. A very relaxed place with music just below conversation level so didn't have to shout. Excellent location in town and a perfect place to meet up. The decoration is tasteful enough to give the place a nice ambiance.

We have been travelling for a couple of months and the coffee here at Verdigris is the best we have had in that time. The location is just lovely, fresh daffodils on the tables, great service. Each drink at our table was delivered with a Madeline. I have a wheat allergy and I asked if there was wheat in the cake. There was tho the sweet girl came back with a gluten free biscuit for me to have instead. Wow, such thoughtfulness 🤩 We won’t forget them and will return when in the area again 👌🏻👏🏻🤩 Thank you 🌸

We had Christmas dinner here, it was amazing! The beef was divine, the roast potatoes were fantastic! Very generous portions, including extra veg, gravy and roasties. Everything went like clockwork, these guys know what they're doing, very efficient. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. I can't say enough good things about this place. We had the best day, thank you so much!

One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve ever had! Crispy potato’s and super tasty cauliflower cheese and all the sides! Generous greyvy portions which is always a plus. And perfect Yorkie! Portion of the beef could have done with one more slice (only came with 2) but it was super tasty and cooked to perfection. Pork was equally delicious, good portion size and a really generous portion of crackling We had a lovely seat in the front room for us and the dog

We recently stayed in a family room whilst visiting a wedding. The room had all the cots we requested/needed which was great. Room as expected, good overall. The service was fantastic though, after my wife dropped an earring in the sink and Thierry spent some time taking it apart so we could get it back - thank you!

I have attended twice as part of a large walking/ dog walking group. We were given the back room on both occasions , which was perfect as we were wet and muddy. Limited menu, I had scampi and ships on both occasions . Huge portion, well cooked. Bargain price of £5.50. I hasten to add that on the second occasion , we only booked in with three hours notice and Matt was able to accommodate us
