Tunbridge Wells Restaurant Guide

ASK - Tunbridge Wells

For some time I made the mistake of thinking that no group of restaurants in the region of 200 locations could hope to maintain the quality for which I was looking. Then one day I decided to put my prejudices to the test, walked into Oxford Ask! and discovered that I could not have been more mistaken.

Bistro at Hotel du Vin - Tunbridge Wells

When under private ownership in the 19th century, the young Queen Victoria, who had quite a penchant for this part of the world, was known to visit. Even if she had been unamused by a return visit nowadays I wager Prince Albert's Teutonic blood would have been stirred by the wine list at the very least.

Conservatory Restaurant at The Royal Wells Hotel, The

It seems strange to see such an extraordinarily elegant building referred to as an Inn. Indeed a 19th century visitor in the form of Princess Victoria can hardly have been amused, though recent 'revelations' seem to suggest this might not necessarily have been so.
