Our afternoon tea experience at The Ivy at Tunbridge Wells was exemplary. We went for our anniversary and the food, service and ambiance were amazing. We were even given a complementary ‘Happy Anniversary’ desert, which was very unexpected and a lovely gesture. Thank you to everyone who made our experience so memorable.

We have been to this restaurant many times and have always had a great experience. The staff are friendly, and efficient but not intrusive. The food is always wonderful. We had no hesitation on booking here for Valentines dinner as we knew we could trust that it would be a great night out and it was. Thank you to all the staff who make this place what it is. x
