The Hand And Sceptre - TUNBRIDGE WELLS

It was a last-minute booking and we got exactly the time we wanted, when we turned up we were immediately shown to our table and within minutes our order had been taken. Our meal turned up in a very reasonable time and was delicious

The food was pretty good and well presented. The service however was poor part of the main course never came and the waitress blamed her colleagues. She agreed to take something off the bill as a consequence but didn’t, so I had to remind her. I didn’t leave any gratuity in the end.

Far from a memorable lunch and the Yorkshire puds need serious attention. Dry cardboard on a plate not nice. Also almost total lack of green vegetables disappointing.

The ambience and service were very good and provided a restaurant, rather than pub, atmosphere. There was quick response to our arrival and no delays of any kind. My reservation on this occasion was that it seemed that the cod in my batter (From the fish and chips I ordered) was overcooked, so that it was lacking in the usual firmness one would expect. I certainly intend to eat at the Hand and Sceptre again, however.

We love coming to this restaurant. The food is always amazing and there is a lovely atmosphere.
