    We really enjoyed Kumquat. The food was excellent and the service very friendly and efficient. Restaurant is popular and booking on a weekend night essential.

    Food delicious service appalling. There seemed to be enough staff but they were frankly rude and inattentive. We were advised the food comes when it’s ready - fair enough - but we were then served the fish with no rice as ordered and tofu with no bau buns as listed in the menu. When we complained we were told we had been advised the food comes as it’s ready??? That doesn’t make sense. We were also served another tables food which after sitting on our table for a couple of minutes was whisked away and served elsewhere. A disappointing first experience of this restaurant. We won’t be returning which is a shame as the food was well cooked and tasty when it finally arrived.

    From the cocktails to the dessert, everything was fantastic. We picked Kumquat based on its online recommendations and celebrated our anniversary here. These are good people that care about their guests and are so enthusiastic about what they do. Highly recommend and we will be returning.

    A great experience. Interesting menu. A bit different just what Tunbridge Wells needed. Great small and larger plates to share or not. Very pleasant staff. Can’t think why I left it so long to visit. Will return with friends for sure. Thank you!
