Village Cafe - TUNBRIDGE WELLS

Use to go to this cafe quite a lot. Food is OK to be fair, but staff friendliness and how welcome you are made to feel is the worst I've experienced. Went here after a long motobike ride to grab some breakfast a few months back, was told I am taking up too much space on my own table and if I wanted to order I would have to share a table with a lady coughing her guts up and smelling like stale cigerettes. There was a dozen spare tables, I declined and left never to have returned again. They dont take card and 100% tax dodgers. Avoid this cafe, its run by scummos. HMRC should 100% investigate.

On a flying visit back to Sussex from Devon needed breakfast after a 0500 hrs start. Popped into Paddock Wood in search of some bacon and eggs. Saw the Village Cafe and parked up. Thought it was a traditional Greasy Spoon Diner and ideal for a fry up. Very busy on a July Saturday mid morning with locals was a good sign. I was wrong about the greasy spoon....it's a traditional old fashioned London cafe but worlds apart. The place is immaculate, tables continually cleared and cleaned. The kitchen with the brigade cooking you can see when ordering is also spotless and organised. A hearty warm welcome from Chris I think it is a Londoner like me. Now the thing is I can't have Gluten or Lactose so just asked for Bacon and Eggs and black coffee. To my delight and surprise I was told they have gluten free hash browns and sausages so got tempted and went for the lot. (I rarely have a cooked breakfast, literally couple of times a year). The sausage was tasty, the bacon and eggs perfectly cooked as were the hash browns. The coffee was nice strong flavour and again proper ground bean to cup not instant. The staff couldn't be more helpful or efficient. Great friendly old fashioned service with a smile but the food and surroundings top notch and up to date. I'm only disappointed I live so far away I can't go more often.

Not long moved to the area and have enjoyed several trips here. Portions very good and service is always fast. Coffee is always good quality

Great food and amazing staff usually go here for breakfast with my family always get the same warm welcoming as alway even if are busy coffees are amazing even better than costa I would say! And food is very yummy as well

Was treated to breakfast this morning after my hubby had visited a couple of days ago with his brother . Fabulous breakfast, very tasty ingredients, thick tasty bacon and high quality sausage along with great service. Will definitely be going back.
