The story

Kentish Hare, Royal Tunbridge Wells: Modern British Dining in Bidborough

Kentish Hare in Royal Tunbridge Wells serves modern British cooking at 95 Bidborough Ridge, Bidborough, TN3 0XB, and carries a Michelin Recommended mention for 2026.

Sourcing and cooking

The kitchen builds its menus around local meats, vegetables and fish from a network of local suppliers. Dishes are described as boldly flavoured and well presented, and the dinner menu changes daily. Vegetarian and vegan options run across every menu, and most dietary requirements can be catered for.

The room and the bar

Chris and James Tanner opened the restaurant in May 2014 with a focus on local produce and a selection of beers, wines and spirits. Dogs are welcome in the Library bar and the main garden. The restaurant also holds two AA Rosettes for 2026.
