“ Booked for a two year anniversary meal with my partner, the bookings were limited for dinner, so I had to book for 4pm, which was changed to 3pm by the restaurant. So book well in advance to get the time you want. The restaurant entrance is tucked away, so make sure you aren't walking past it on the way. Ordered two courses as we were having roasts and didn't think we could finish three. Very reasonable price at around 27 each for a lot of food. Service was lovely, the gentleman came over and went through the menu with us and completely sold me on the fish and Eton mess. The lady who served us was very pleasant and even brought us some free aperitifs which was nice of her. The sea bream was perfect, and was well balanced with the rest of the meal so highly recommend that. And the Eton mess was very rich and creamy with Chantilly cream, and homemade meringue. My stepfather was incredibly fussy and didn't want to cause any problems didn't finish his meal and the lady took that off the bill which was above and beyond. She honestly didn't have to do that for him. ”
“ Fantastic food and service I was looking for somewhere to eat on Saturday night, whilst visiting Tunbridge Wells on a last minute break. Being both dairy and gluten free, this isn't the easiest task. I noticed the warm, welcoming lights through the windows from the road and looked at the menu. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to eat anything, but the menu looked interesting and suggested they took great care over their offerings. I asked if by any chance they had any cancellations/a table for one, and if yes, was there anything I could eat that was gluten and dairy free. As luck had it, they had 1 table free and could offer a surprising number of options. They were so helpful and accommodating. With the waiter's help I ordered an amazing feta based salad for starters, which they switched to vegan feta - it was absolutely delicious. They also provided GF bread and a vegan spread (as I didn't want the oil and balsamic). They even produced an amuse bouche, which was a deviation to the goats cheese based one I heard other diners receiving (and which I obviously wouldn't be able to eat). The main of pan seared seabass, butternut squash and chickpea casserole was incredible. Whilst enjoying the starter, the chef came out to check how everything was. He was so welcoming and helpful. All the staff are. They are all so professional, friendly and accommodating. Considering I turned up without any warning, on the off-chance that they might have a space and something on their menu I could eat, on the busiest night of the week - they and their food are truly amazing. I hadn't planned on revisiting Tunbridge Wells soon, but I may have to - to enjoy this amazing restaurant again. Oh and the icing on the cake, they've got a pianist playing Satie's Gymnopedie no. 1 and various other well known classics. What a place. ”
“ Decided to try somewhere new to satiate my Sunday Roast cravings and really happy that we decided to give The Warren a chance. It’s on the high street of Tunbridge Wells and you go up some stairs and you reach the restaurant level. It’s got a balcony and really lovely views of the high street. Service was fantastic and the lady was amazing (I unfortunately don’t have her name). Absolutely loved the decor and the food was extremely tasty and of a high standard. Overall, really enjoyed it and I highly recommend! ”
“ My favourite restaurant in Tunbridge Wells. Always feels really special yet doesn't break the bank. Lovely setting. Excellent wine list. Friendly service. Great menus which change fairly regularly. Can't recommend it enough. ”
“ Visited on a Friday night by reservation. I felt so well looked after here. I suffer allergies, gluten, peanuts, and shellfish, and felt confident to eat here without compromising on taste. I ordered the lamb and chocolate brownie and it was a delight on every mouthful, so many different flavours abd textures that all complimented each other. The staff were all very professional, and the atmosphere was calm and not too noisy, so I could easily have a conversation with my husband without having to talk louder. The chef also came out at the end, which was a delight to talk to him. Would definitely recommend. ”
“ First time visiting Tunbridge Wells and I couldn't ask for a better restaurant to stay and dine in! Lovely space with very friendly people and the best part.. food! Beautifully prepared dish and reasonable prices too. On Sunday there's a special deal with 2 or 3 course for lunch hours. I'll definitely recommend. ”
“ I have been visiting The Warren for years, they won my heart. The food is exceptional, service is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is welcoming and simply enchanting. I have hosted many successful events at this stunning restaurant (at no hire charge) business meetings/socials, family lunches and more intimate meals with loved ones. The attention to detail makes each visit and course special. My dietary requirements have evolved over the years and I have always felt appreciated and catered for with love. If you have any questions just give them a call! You’ll be thrilled you did. ”
