Three Chimneys - TUNBRIDGE WELLS

Incredibly atmospheric traditional pub with open fires and friendly, welcoming staff. good range of beers, dog-friendly and a good range on the menu for starters, mains and desserts. The beef special was simply incredible, good portion size very well cooked and accompanied by lovely colcannon and gravy. Well worth a visit, so much so we have already revisited.

Such a lovely pub. Very friendly staff, the food is delicious and has a good drinks offering. We visited on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, two couples with two dogs and a child, and even though they were busy we managed to get a table. We had starters, mains and desserts and all were excellent. Will definitely be coming back!

Stumbled across Three Chimneys by accident when looking for a quick drink and snack. Lovely old Pub and 'mostly ' friendly staff who dealt with us efficiently. Snacks were quite costly but well presented and tasted great. To be honest, I wish we had the time to visit again for Dinner because some of the items on the Menu looked extremely appealing. Next time we are in the South-East, will definitely give then a try for Dinner

I always enjoyed my visits to this classic British country pub. It was always known for its good food and excellent service. However, since reopening after Covid the food is still excellent but the service is non existent the staff walk round with there head in the clouds as if the guests are not there. I went back a few times as thought could have caught them on a bad day but sadly not. Will not be returning. Unfortunately good pubs in this area are now a rare.

We were both looking forward to visiting, last time was over a year. Young friendly staff. Good starters, chicken liver pate and two substantial fish cakes, both with fresh well dressed salad. BUT as people came in, service was few and far between. The mains arrived, my husband had plaice in a good sauce but the potatoes were hard and not eatable, the only other vegetable was about a third of an endive. As the waitress didn't arrive until the fish was eaten when she offered to replace the potatoes with another potato dish it was too late. That was £19.95 just for a piece of fish. I had lamb with colcannon, but here again, the half a carrot (or it could have been about a third of one) was undercooked: £18.95. Our plates remained on our table for the next 15-20 minutes. I finally got hold of a waitress and asked for the dessert menu which arrived. But thinking of the time it had taken to retrieve our finished main meal we decided to stick with coffees, as we waited we decided to forgo the coffees too, as we wanted to be home for Christmas. Then added to this, the waitress bringing us the gadget to pay kept pointing out that service was optional, and how they were short staffed that someone has been recruited to help out, and my poor husband felt under pressure to leave a tip, esp as she kept pointing out the various amounts that could be left, which for once we were not inclined to do. Consequently, for this review, I can only give two points. I came away, quite annoyed. Nearly 20 quid for a piece of fish and then under pressure for a tip, did not add to my enjoyment. Staffing shortages are the restaurant's problem, not the customers, and the cook should not be serving half raw potatoes.
