The Mount Edgcumbe Hotel and Restaurant stands out from the crowd as something slightly different, the lively Brasserie and Bar provide a warm, friendly ambiance, featuring an authentic 8th century candle lit cave, hollowed out from the historic sandstone rock, which provides the hotel with its foundation.

The brasserie menu features a broad range of international and English specialties with traditional roasts available on Sundays; their fixed price menus at lunchtime present good value, with a three courses on Sunday at only £14.95, during the week it is even cheaper.

The quaint bar, crafted out of weather-worn coastal oak offers a selection of varied libations from their Highland malts to locally brewed ale.

The garden, which the brasserie overlooks, merges subtly with the surrounding common land, you can sit and relax out there and sample one of the traditional English meals from their bar snack menu and enjoy this peaceful corner of Royal Tunbridge Wells so close to the centre of town.
