The Duke Of York - TUNBRIDGE WELLS

I paid £13 for a glass of wine. It was outrageous! I will never go back. Instead, I went to the bar opposite and paid the same amount for two glasses. Stop ripping off your customers!!!

A pub should serve its staple fare such as fish and chips, hamburgers, pies, bangers and mash etc very, very well. We ordered hamburgers and chips at The Duke of York. The chips were excellent. The hamburgers were awful. They were served lukewarm at best, overpowered with bacon jam so that the predominant flavour was acid and sugar, and cheese nowhere to be seen there was that little of it. But the worst was the meat patty. So hard, it could be used as a curling stone. My friend described it as “indescribably tight”. I had no words so let my actions speak instead and left three-quarters of it on the plate. Demolished the chips though. We debated whether or not to mention anything when we struggled through our first mouthfuls of the hamburger but decided against it. As mentioned above, if you’re a pub owner/pub chef/pub manager, you KNOW what you’re serving to your customers so why make me the bad guy and point out how bad your burger is? GBP18.50 for this sub-standard meal, btw.

Had the signature dish the ribs they were just a plate of fat and gristle. Costing £25 I question how they can justify this!!!!

Came here to eat as we had a birthday voucher. The food was disappointing, l went for the signature dish of pork ribs, which looked like they had be microwaved and it certainly did not live up to its description. The burgers which others had again we dry, and not juicy when cooked fresh. The service at the bar was great. We were found a table outside. Good selection of drinks. Would visit again for a drink.

The most friendly relaxed pub in Tunbridge Wells, food always excellent, the staff are always extremely helpful and friendly , always full of smiles and happy to help. Food is always excellent and they go above and beyond to make sure that you are happy . The manager is always happy to help and full of smiles also. Always a pleasure to eat here
