Not just great fish! A must visit for a Sunday lunch, Sankey’s is definitely up there for one of the best roasts in Tunbridge Wells.Beef was cooked perfectly and the roast potatoes were fluffy and crunchy. The only thing I wasn’t keen on was the swede mash which had a curry flavour so for me was a no but that’s a personal preference. But in saying that with a fish dish that would have gone perfectly.Had a glass of the Chilean Merlot which was really reasonable and delicious.If you’ve got a big appetite go for a starter but if not I’d stick with just a roast and if you have room squeeze in a dessert!

Cool, quirky vibe, busy but not overly so. A great place to meet up with friends. And the food's good to. Check ✔️ it out.

Food service was dire!! £25 for a 10x5cm piece of Cod and a bowl of french fries is unexceptable. Great decor, nice atmosphere UPSTAIRS, not great downstairs. Beer choice was excellent but sadly will never return for a meal.Wheelchair accessibility: There is definitely no wheelchair accessibility. Stairs to everything.

Sad to say today we found this once bastion of Tunbridge Wells eating and drinking very disappointing. We were originally heading for the Ragged Trousers on the Pantiles for Moules Frites - only to find they dont serve food on a Tuesday !So we left the conivivial buzz and fine selection of real ales to head for Sankeys.Once known for it's fine selection of very well kept, often local, cask ales - today there was just the one and it was so totally flat and lifeless it went back (after the managers approval but should never have been served). Apparently expensive craft IPA's are all that's in demand now - not what I've experienced I have to say and considering there were only five other people in the pub others might think the same!!And sadly the whole customer service was caotic too.A disappointing experience all round. I wont be heading there to watch the six nations like we used to - maybe that's not in fashion anymore either....

Visited a very busy time when staff were very busy, but food was exceptional.
Christmas group of 5- I have been here once before and the food was great and the service was not so good however, on my second visit the service was good but the food was pretty disappointing.The hake ordered arrived stone cold and the side dish of potatoes were also cold (some frozen inside). The mussels that came with the paella were also cold which I find incredibly concerning. Value for money = poor. The best meals were the burgers..The cold food was returned and replaced but was a disappointing visit for my friends as it meant we were all eating at different times and lowered the mood for the night.Waiting staff were friendly and accommodating but this restaurant was let down by the chefs on this occasion.

Consigned to the upstairs dining room, which was cold, terrible lightning and basically decorated with hessian sacks. Service, well the waiters just did not want to be up there. Food was good as it generally is at Sankeys but the atmosphere was non existent. We have had many a Christmas dinner there, this is probably our last one.

We had our Christmas do here on Saturday and we're put on a top room that was freezing cold, brightly lit, undecorated and a big table covered in sacking. It was absolutely awful. The staff were really sweet but we were not happy. Sankeys, I'm expecting a reply on this one.

This restaurant is superb. The food, atmosphere and service could not be better. A very welcoming and friendly place.
