   The food was delicious and the ambience inviting and lively. We had a slightly “unusual “ waiter who grimaced as we placed our orders and was a little rude. All the other staff were lovely though and it didn’t spoil or overall enjoyment.

   Superb breakfast for 6 slightly jaded old friends the morning after their school reunion the night before. The team at The Ivy Tunbridge Wells were great and looked after us and made us feel at home. A really good way to start the day…

   We booked the Ivy as part of our wedding anniversary weekend in Tunbridge Wells. The greeting was very friendly including the hostess wishing us a happy anniversary, as did our waitress. The staff are very professional, well trained, and friendly. The ambience is very good and we were seated in a comfortable corner table. The standard menu has changed little over the years and has been the same at each of the different Ivy restaurants we have visited. The evening was enjoyable except for the delay in serving one of the side dishes which didn't arrive until we were half way through our meal and then only after we had asked the waitress whether she had in fact ordered it. The meal ended with our being given a 'happy anniversary' delicacy, a nice touch, thank you.

   Beautiful venue, super clean. High quality all round. A couple of times I felt we were left a little longer than usual before an empty glass of whatnot was addressed. The veggie option wasn’t as strong as previous experiences, not sure artichokes belong in a tagine, they were a bit hard. But my fellow diners chicken dish looked fantastic.
   

   The Ivy Royal Tunbridge WellsResponded on November 3, 2024

   Thank you so much for your kind words and valuable feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the venue and our attention to quality. We appreciate your input regarding the service timing and the veggie option, and we’ll make sure to pass it along to our team to improve the experience further. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another visit—hopefully with a new dish that wows you just as much as the chicken did for your fellow diner! Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. Many Thanks The Ivy

    The meal was nice. However we went for the Halloween evening but the staff didn’t seem to know what it was as it had been marketed online but didn’t follow through apart from some of the staff having face paints. Food was good but it is a bit pricey.
