The Smallholding in Tunbridge Wells

Good food, stylish setting incl. cutlery, interior design and outside area. I did feel rushed though. Neither waiters nor chefs had any time to explain the dishes.

An excellent tasting menu and wine pairing meal. Ingredients all very local with friendly service and beautiful surroundings. All for a very fair price. Highly recommended.

Probably the best meal I've eaten paired with amazing wine. I'll definitely be coming back!

The small holding was recommended to us by locals we met at a wine tasting event. It’s a little pricey but it is 100% worth it. The quality and freshness of the ingredients, the friendliness of the staff (they wrote me a happy birthday card!!) and the innovation in the food is just incredible. I am so happy we went and I’d definitely go back if I had a chance.

Have never been to the establishment but have attended one of their pop up events in Tunbridge Wells a while back and the food was absolutely amazing... So therefore looking forward to popping over to their restaurant over in Cranbrook and try their main menu!

The restaurant itself feels warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was friendly and calm; not frantic or loud. The tables are well spaced so you don’t feel like you’re sitting on top of each other. Staff were friendly and helpful. The service was quick.There is a set menu based on the season which you have no input in, but that just meant we didn’t have to faff around deciding from a menu. It consisted of 10 courses and you will be sufficiently full by the end.It’s great that the food is all seasonal and locally sourced. The food itself was creative, tasted great and was well presented.

Exceptional, seasonal food with clever variations. Take the wine pairing - their buyer really knows his stuff and the wines are all medium to high priced/quality, well chosen and well matched. Service was exemplary, friendly and informative. Just what you want from such a restaurant. A delightful experience. Go!

We love experiencing different places and fine food. The small holding did not let us down. I have read some of the previous reviews and the very small amount of negative ones. Trust me you will not be hungry when you leave. The taster menu had 9 courses. Every course beautifully presented and tasty. But be prepared to try food that you may have not in the past. You will be extremely impressed. If you are looking for fillet steak and chips this is not for you. If you want to experience a new culinary experience. This is a place to visit. The food is locally sourced, some from their holding. The staff are attentive and polite and extremely friendly. It is not overpriced. The bill was what I expected. A lovely gem that I shall certainly be returning to and recommend to others. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Definitely worth a visit, the food was amazing and the wine pairing exquisitely well chosen and presented. It’s also impossible to not leave happy after a fantastic dinner and about 6 glasses of wine.The ingredients sourced from the local garden are also fabulous and the staff is lovely.

Wonderful food but, by fitting in two sittings before the 10 pm finish, courses came very quickly and we felt a little rushed. Appreciate the food changes daily but we would have liked a printed menu as it was sometimes hard to hear the description when staff wearing masks.
