The Bickley, Chislehurst – revisited
With The Bickley opening up after a renovation, we were keen to try out their new Sunday lunch. It was difficult to get a table, but managed to book one for midday. The venue itself is much improved, being brightly decorated. Inside has also been improved, opening up the restaurant area to 3 levels. I really liked the styling. The food was ok, slightly cheaper than previously and JW’s kids Sunday lunch was quite good. Service was incredibly slow, but this should be something that’ll improve over time (I hope!). Overall, a decent lunch and one for families in the area.

I had been recommended the Hotel du Vin in Tunbridge Wells for Sunday lunch, so I booked up when we were at a loose end. The venue was smart, with great service. On the most part, the meal was good value – £24.95 for a 3 course Sunday lunch and £9.95 for a child’s meal. The market table was immense, so much choice and definitely meant hungrier guests could get their moneys worth! The lunch was delicious, as was dessert. Overall, a Top Rated Sunday lunch for Hotel du Vin.

Our second visit at The Bulls Head Hotel in Chislehurst – not as good as the first, but only marginally so. The food was good, especially the portion sizes! It was great to have 4 roast potatoes, but we felt there were some issues with dietary requirements and service. Overall a very good 4.5 / 5.

We were looking for a Sunday lunch in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. A friend suggested The Black Pig. The pub looked interesting so we thought we’d give it a go. Service was very good here, always on hand in case we needed anything. The starter was good, and the roast beef was excellent, as were the roast potatoes and vegetables. The passionfruit cheesecake was notably well presentated, and tasty too!
Definitely recommend visiting for Sunday lunch at The Black Pig in Royal Tunbridge Wells!

After visiting The Jugged Hare and Chiswell Street Dining Rooms) I had the opportunity of booking The Gun, a sister pub. They were very welcoming to us with John William (a 10 month old baby). The venue itself was impressive – a smart restaurant area at the front with a relaxing bar area out the back (including a wonderful terrace area). The food here was very special – well presented and excellent tasting. The service was also superb, so all in all, a well deserved Top Rated Award for Sunday lunch at The Gun.

We were visiting my Dad for Father’s Day and decided to try the Sunday lunch at The Rose and Crown in Pluckley, Kent (near Ashford). I am very glad we did! The food was delicious, the beef cooked to my (requested) liking, super roast potatoes and gravy. The outdoor space meant our child could run outside and burn off some energy. A Top Rated Sunday lunch.

A Top Rated Award for The Swan in West Malling.
