About

Another classy brasserie from Caprice Holdings, The Ivy Royal Tunbridge Wells is located in the centre of the historic spa town, a prime location for punters looking for a sophisticated restaurant to dine in. The Ivy is situated near the Pantiles colonnade and the high street of Tunbridge wells, which is only a 30 minute journey from London. The town is one of the prettiest areas in the UK, well-known for its stunning landscapes gardens, and was known as a royal holidaying spot, having been a prime tourist destination for hundreds of years.

The brasserie is nestled between the buzzing streets, which are filled with quaint shops and boutiques. Plus there’s loads of amazing landmarks nearby from the charming Scotney Castle to the Sissinghurts Castle and Gardens and the Penhurst Place Gardens – there’s no shortage of beautiful sites to see, and the Ivy is superbly situated for punters to come by from a quick bite or a slow dinner.

As a prime post- or pre-theatre dining restaurant, the restaurant offers a great set menus and group dining ones for larger get-togethers, the menus feature all of the classic Ivy favourites and is a great option for making eating out a little easier. The regular a la carte menu features dishes such a scrumptious lobster linguine or an aromatic duck curry.

The brasserie is also a great choice for more boozy affairs, with their extensive menus of cocktails, ciders, and European wines. The gin and tonic selection is excellent too, the Ivy special is highlight of the menu, and it features Beefeater gin, lavender, cucumber, lime, and a fever-tree Mediterranean tonic.

The Ivy Royal Tunbridge Wells is well-located in the centre of the quaint Kentish town, and is a superb dining option for punters looking to dine in luxury and style.

Better overall, than Covent Garden Ivy.

Great lunch experience

I went for lunch here with my husband, while the £19.17 lunch was on offer. We had a delicious meal...the salmon rillette with avocado for me, and the liver parfait for my husband, and then we both had the shepherds pie for our main course, which is one of my favourite choices at The Ivy. Great buzzy atmosphere, and nice staff, so it really was a great experience. I always enojy going here, and we weren't rushed at all.

Still the best Restaurant in Tunbridge Wells

The Ivy on Boxing Day has become a tradition in our house. This year we were joined by friends, which all makes for a very enjoyable evening. Staff are always very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble - especially at a time of year when I'm sure they would rather be at home with family like the rest of us. The Ivy - STILL the best restaurant in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Great atmosphere and food!

We had a great visit here for lunch. We booked a late lunch and we're amazed how busy it was all afternoon! There was a great buzz and a wonderful atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and there were some festive inspired options on the menu. We can highly recommend the goose and turkey shepherds pie with cranberry sauce, with a pig in its blanket on top! As I am going to a different Ivy nearer to Christmas, I will definitely be having this again! Definitely our favourite restaurant to go to in Tunbridge Wells.

Impeccable service - friendly, fun, accommodating. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. The perfect spot for brunch, with lots of options to choose from. A cut above anything else in the area.
