Really great place. Have just moved to the area & this has become our local. Have eaten there too before we moved & it is very nice food. Friendly staff. Brilliantly quirky decor & a cracking garden with an outside bar. All in all highly recommend it 👍🏻👍🏻
Had a great buffet at St Johns Yard tonight in their Vintage Room. They were incredibly helpful with the food for our party, some of whom were gluten/dairy free. We had a lovely time, keep up the great work!!
Booked a table here for a bit of food on a Friday night and can't praise it enough. Great service, epic food (highly recommend the Saint Burger says my better half) and an awesome atmosphere. Thanks!!
We had a fantastic time last night for my daughter's 30th birthday. The vintage room is great , love the decor. The staff are lovely and very accommodating. The food was amazing. We danced the night way and loved it! Thank you so much - highly recommend it!
Great food at a reasonable price. Loads and flavour and love in every meal. Drinks are a reasonable price as well! Fab atmosphere, friendly staff, quirky but with that comfy pub feel. All the events I've been to have been fun and upbeat. Really reccomend
I've got so much time for this place.
Ish and his crew deserve back to back trophies � as the best pub in TW.
Thanks for all you do guys.
Hugely recommended.
All the best. Cheers Mr. A.

Had my partners 50th birthday 80s themed party in the vintage room, absolutely fantastic evening. Ish, Adrian and Sam were great and catered to our needs, they decorated the room for us , it looked fab. Would definitely use this venue again .
A really fantastic venue for my nieces 30th birthday party. The atmosphere was great and all the staff were really helpful and attentive. Thank you for a memorable night!
Great venue in Tunbridge Wells. 1st time going there. Loved the vibe in there. Would defo recommend it!!
Such a friendly, welcoming team. Great ambience.
Definitely the best burgers -- you'll find anywhere. Menu offers wide choice. All cooked to perfection.
Perfik!
I absolutely loved the food great family atmosphere fantastic quirky decoration excellent staff fast quality service I would have no worries going again and book a party next time �����
Great friendly staff, and yummy food!! As always x
We came for lunch last Friday and had a fabulous meal. I had the goats cheese ciabatta and loved the red onion marmalade on it...yummy! My boyfriend had the 'El Pollo St Nicollo' which was a Burger Fest burger, and that was literally devoured in 2 minutes. Great price, venue and service too! Couldn't ask for more! Thank you xxx
Love our local but love the owners more � fab food, venue & prices! SJY caters for everyone � great variety of food & was a fabulous venue for our children's christenings � best roast for 70 people ever!! Many a yummy mummy get together held there ��
We enjoyed our stop here during our travel to the south of England. A relaxing light meal in the garden. Lost of space available, both inside as outside. A good choice bar meals. The place is dog friendly, and our dog likes the treats. No parking is available, but there is a large parking lot at 100m distance. A place we will return to when we are nearby again!
A nice pub with a modern angle just on the edge of Tunbridge Wells. Some of the best burgers in town and delicious sides. Great drinks selection and friendly staff. There's also a section you can book out for private functions, which is very nice for a casual family or work party.
Pictured is the Ghengis Salad which was delicious and a great option if you want something lighter.
One of the only downsides is there isn't a huge amount of seating inside, and not all of the outdoor seats have heating so it's not ideal in the winter.
We love this place. The food is great, especially their burgers! And, they're half price on Sundays.
The outdoor area is our favourite with an industrial feel and rustic seating surrounded by hanging flower troughs fixed to scaffolding frames.
Lovely!
Great beer garden, with really friendly staff. Burgers were tasty and reasonably priced for big portions, only issue is that they weren’t pink and juicy as stated on the menu, so a little disappointing in that respect.
But the duck burger and the spicy one were both tasty, nice skinny fries too. Fab sun trap!
Very nice pub and the food is fantastic. We just probably picked a bad day as there was workmen in there crashing and banging about which took the edge off it.
Will definitely be back.
Leo from the Smith and Western recommended this fab spot as a great burger bar.. He was not wrong!
The burgers were spot on.. I had the special which had this lush beer cheese sauce and amazing pepperoni and the other half had a burger called Vintage Sally which she wouldn't share so I assume was good.. the fries were also amazing and well cooked. The meal was well presented with a supply of mayo and ketchup which I didn't need to ask for which was nice surprise.
The restaurant/bar is well presented! I think if you want to get a table around 7pm booking seems to be very important.
We would never of found this place if it wasn't for Leo so you probably owe him a drink!

I love this place. I've been coming here for years.
- Service is always great and i think I'm right on saying they still do the app table service
- Outside area is really well designed and has well placed heaters and lighting, a nice change.
- Prices are what they are, Tunbridge Wells prices
- Wide demographic. There will always be someone your age there. Often what I look for when I first walk into a place.
- Food is very good. We even order it for home and pick up.
- Very good for parties. I has my 40th here and it was really well managed.
An unhesitating 5/5 stars
I found the Love of my life in these dark, gloomy walls. Got wasted for countless times because what else could I do? Their delicious burgers, that dead-raising vodka, their whimsical lager selection that everyone wants to take and chug until early morning. Sam, the bartender, whose eyes tell unimaginable stories. And delicious peanuts.
I went to the wall with some inscription and tried to decipher it all, but only between the lines it was scraped - getting here was your destiny.
My Lover kindly picked me up, brought us home, and I had no doubt that this writing was true.
You can come for yourself and see it.
Oh, and maybe you'll attend a concert or meet some nice people. That's for sure in St John's Yard.
P.S. THE TOILETS ARE VERY DECENT.
Recently had our joint 25th Wedding Anniversary / Daughter's 21st here and everything was great. The Manager was really helpful and couldn't do enough for us, never once getting bored of our silly questions, and the whole experience from email enquiries to booking to helping us set up the room to the food was amazing. Thank you very much!

I've been recommended this place a few times now, and managed to get a chance to go here as I met up with some friends local to the area.
Indoor and outdoor seating available, due to the weather we picked the garden. The garden is deceptively large, and caters largely to groups. The decor is lovely with lots of flowers and lights and gives it a really good vibe. Atmosphere was really good even for a weekday.
Service was really quick too, some of the drinks arrived before the order confirmation even came through.
I had the Vintage Sally burger which comes with bacon and chilli jam, and a serving of really nice chips. Also had a spicy chicken starter between us.
The spicy chicken starter catches you off guard as it's fairly hot to start with, but once you're used to it you'll keep going back for another.
The chips were just how I like them, crisp on the outside with a hint of salt, and fluffy on the inside. The burger was juicy and full of flavour as the chilli jam soaked into the bun. Definitely recommend having that one.
Really good burger and chips. Wasn't expecting much from the fries but they were really yummy and loads of them too. Burger very yummy. All table service with ordering on our phone. Very happy and would definitely come again.
Friendly atmosphere, jolly staff. Great burgers and dog friendly. Food is good quality and served fast.
I really liked this bar/pub/restaurant. Nice garden. And I recommened the special offer 'Buy 2 Drink & Pay for 2'. Ask the bar staff when you order. I drank IPAs there, there's also cider on tap, and of course beers. The staff were friendly, and the place has an upbeat atmosphere. I didn't eat there as I was meeting a friend for drinks, so I can't comment on the food. But I saw large groups and couples wining and dining in the garden so assume its a popular place for its tucker.
Food was amazing and the staff were very friendly in a very busy setting. One member of staff was very short regarding a missing item of food, but it was otherwise sorted. Great looking pub inside. Great for some 90's bangers and quick meal with a drink on a Friday night. A bit to loud for dinner and a catch up.

Nice quirky bar with good outdoor seating area. I had the halloumi and avocado salad and it was amazing! No parking on site but there is parking nearby, paid by Ringo.
Really tasty food. Burger was meaty and fries were perfect. Would definitely recommend and go again. I've driven past so many times and didn't even know this was here!
Food was great. Don't take the 3 stars for atmosphere too seriously, it was lunchtime on a Wednesday. Looks like the sort of place that will be very busy at the weekend.
Very accommodating, food choices delicious and a good choice of drinks including non alcoholic ones
Family friendly and dog friendly, too.
Thank you
