The Ivy Castle View is part of The Ivy Collection, which remains true to the values of the original Ivy restaurant, famous for its celebrity clientele and superior dining experience. Interiors feature sumptuous Art-Deco detail, marble floors and striking burnt orange banquettes.

Breakfast at The Ivy is a relaxed yet sophisticated experience. Start off with a choice of refreshing juices or coolers while you choose from a range of Breakfast options including The Ivy Full English Breakfast or one of the light and healthy plates. The Breakfast menu also includes a range of teas and coffees.

Brunch is a more decadent affair with starters such as the Roasted Scallops followed by the Truffle Chicken Milanese as a main course. For an extra indulgent experience, why not enjoy a cocktail from a Watermelon & Strawberry Bellini to a Salted Caramel Espresso Martini or a glass of Champagne with your Brunch?

The Ivy Sunday Roast is served with all the trimmings. Indulge in rosemary roasted potatoes, green beans with almonds, carrot and swede mash and a Yorkshire pudding finished with a red wine gravy.

Set over two floors, the restaurant has a Parisian-style terrace, offering a tranquil outdoor escape with views across Guildford Castle. It’s a beautiful spot for tourists, day-trippers and locals alike to relax and enjoy wonderful food in the warmer months. Tucked inside Tunsgate Quarter, it's just a short, scenic stroll across the River Wey to get to Tunbridge Wells Rail Station.

    I came here today just for cream tea for two with my mum. It was a gift from friends for my 50th birthday. The weather was beautiful today lovely and sunny so we chose to sit outside on the balcony terrace which had some lovely views. We had breakfast tea which was refilled and three scones each presented on a little stand. These were served warm with a separate dish of cream and jam along with a small dish of freshly cut up strawberries. This was a perfect amount of food and drink. The atmosphere was perfect. Inside the restaurant the decor was stunning even in the washroom it was beautiful with flowers on the ceiling. I will definitely be returning here for a meal next time as the food looked amazing. Highly recommend it here.

    Absolutely delightful restaurant with staff exactly the way they should be; welcoming, and classy and with the ability to only come to the table when required. Service is absolutely first class. The menu is very good, with a good selection of dishes from appetisers to mains. If you have allerigies, you simply scan the QR code on the menu to deterimine what you can enjoy, simply by ticking the box of the product the food contains. There was a lack of choices for people with allergies though. The dessert menu was full of appealing choices, making it hard to determine what was chosen. Again, for allergens, you scan the menu, but i didn't find any desserts at all coming up, just the main menu. The atmosphere is that of a lively place, and the dress code with price brings in a particular type of client. It had been noted when booking that a party member was celebrating their birthday and that they had allergens, and provided a little something extra for the birthday girl. This was above and beyond service that I expected and was really very kind and generous. Overall everybody in the party had a great time that will be remembered for a long time.
