Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Scaynes Hill

Our afternoon tea experience at The Ivy at Tunbridge Wells was exemplary. We went for our anniversary and the food, service and ambiance were amazing. We were even given a complementary ‘Happy Anniversary’ desert, which was very unexpected and a lovely gesture. Thank you to everyone who made our experience so memorable.

The Ivy is a beautiful restaurant however I will not be going on Valentine’s Day again. They shoved me and my husband on a tiny table in the upstairs function room which had be utilized for additional tables where I cut myself on a tree behind me. We felt rushed and there wasn’t enough room between the tables which made for a manic feeling. Food as always phenomenal and the staff did the best they could even though we had a different waiter for each course and they all seemed very overwhelmed nd tired.

We had a st. Valentine’s Day lunch In the conservatory. A cocktail beforehand and a delicious lunch served by Stephanie who was extremely attentive and really made our lunch Great location, great food and drink, great service. Perfect lunch

Visited the Ivy for my birthday and it didn’t disappoint. The shepherds pie and ginger margarita cocktail was delicious, the ambience was warm and inviting with a fabulous singer adding to the joie de vivre . Service was great and I was treated to a special birthday chocolatey profiterole. Will definitely be returning.

We had a great lunch for three of us. The only challenge was choosing from the many excellent choices on the menu. The staff were so friendly and attentive. A great place which lived up to our memories of previous visits.
