First time at Tonbridge Wells but another top class experience. From the first greeting by the reception staff to the unfortunately inevitable goodbye, it was a most enjoyable evening with great food and service in another beautifully decorated Ivy restaurant.

We usually love going to The Ivy in Tunbridge Wells. Service was good as usual, but one of our meals arrived barely warm. Although it was sent back willingly and a fresh hot meal arrived, it disturbed the flow of the evening. We paid the full price of the meal whereas maybe a gesture from management would have been helpful. The coffee pots (which we always enjoy with the cream) were very tarnished - a quick polish with a silver cloth would not go amiss. We will be back and hopefully these issues will be resolved.

Food always consistently good. Sometimes the service a bit hit and miss but tonight, form the lady greeting us to the fabulous waiter, it was really good. As always, when you’re spending over £75 a head, a tad annoying to only be allowed a 2 hour slot
The Ivy Royal Tunbridge WellsResponded on 5 March 2025
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and service. It’s wonderful to know that you had such a great experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Best regards, The Ivy Team

As usual The Ivy delivered good service and excellent food. Compared to some of the competition it's even pretty good value, especially at lunch time.
