A long time ago, before our doors were opened to the public, the Artic Explorer Admiral Parry is reported to have stayed here in 1839 in between his travels. Records even show the Mount Edgcumbe (known then as Mount Edgcumbe House) on Bowra's map as early as 1738!

Our Georgian Gem is certain to inspire your inner historian as you discover our 6th century sandstone cave, and absorb the scenic views of our historic town from our flourishing leafy garden during the sunny months.When the weather is chilly we invite guests to sink into our plush sofas in front of our roaring open log fire.
Please read our kitchen opening times and check if you are booking a table in the marquee or the inside restaurant before making a reservation. For bookings in the clear marquee, we will have the sides of the marquee down (except on those warm days!). Due to the wiring of the heaters and the layouts of the tables they will not be able to be moved.
We always want to hear from our customers and are happy to answer any questions you may have. Please note that for larger booking enquiries (tables of 8+) we kindly request that you email; we will not be able to check availability or take event bookings over the phone, this includes any requests for the private dining space, many thanks for your co-operation.

We had the private dining room for a family event. The food and service were both excellent.

As a family living miles apart, we always meet at the Mount Edgecumbe. It's welcoming, dog friendly in the marquee, and the staff and food are great. Very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.

A great location amongst the greenery and Rocks. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Was disappointed with the food tho. Had Sunday Roast and had much better in other places. It was ok but I felt like something was missing from it

Conveniently located hotel in a quiet area near the common, within walking distance to the Pantiles and town centre. Rooms clean, tidy and have a comfortable bed. Staff friendly and service good. Excellent choice for breakfast, and dinner with well cooked food.

Beautiful hotel in an ideal location, within a lovely walk of The Pantiles and town centre. The room was very comfortable and dinner in the evening was delicious. Service was great and food was superb. Breakfast in the morning was also delicious.

Sunday lunch at the Mount Edgcumbe. The staff were lovely and friendly. They were accommodating towards my 2 yr old by serving her food up within 5 minutes of ordering.
Loved the restaurant and bar decor, felt very cozy and clean.
We had the roast chicken, roast lamb and roast beef. All well seasoned and tasty. Chicken was the best IMO.
I deducted a star as the roast potatoes were a bit too hard on the outside and the cauliflower cheese was an extra £3.95. Random one: the plates are super shallow so the gravy ran over the sides!

What a wonderful find. Hidden on the common is a great little gastropub with indoor and outdoor seating, welcoming service and excellent fayre. The seafood platter was perfect for 2 with local cider. And the alcoholic ice cream.... if you're nearby make sure you stop in. Wonderful work guys

I thought this pub was lovely, if I lived in Tunbridge Wells, it would be a place I take guests to, it's very English and in a wonderful location. It seems a bit unfair to write a review about one experience so I will go again to confirm but this review is based on one experience only. I went for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago with my Dad. Service was friendly and good, atmosphere and location are great. Dad had roast Beef which was good, a bit overcooked, but nice. I had roast chicken which was extra disappointing since it was some (baked) chicken breasts rather than roast chicken

I love this pub and it's so versatile. A venue of choice for me for a quick drink, lunch, dinner or pub crawling.

At the top of town and surrounded by the picturesque 250 acres that is the Tunbridge Wells Common, you could be forgiven for missing it entirely. The building, like so many in the area, is a beautiful period building dating back to the 18th Century, but quite uniquely Mount Edgcumbe boasts its very own 4th Century Cave as part of the interior (yes 4th!), which I have enjoyed many a candle lit drink in.

Gorgeous garden, gorgeous food and one Sunday a month they now host a live

Doubles as a brasserie and pub. Great location down its own winding drive off Mount Ephraim, or you can stroll up from town via the common and through the big pub garden, which is a great place to chill out on warm summer nights. Haven't been for brasserie purposes, but it's a great place for a couple of Sunday night pints. The Harveys is good, and they do a delicious still cider - best drunk in halves as it's quite potent. And it's organic (if that's your thing). Extra plus points to note: it's built into rocks and has a grotto, and you're quite likely to get

One of the classic pubs of Tunbridge Wells. A beautiful weather boarded place located on The Common with a comfortable interior and its own (genuine!!!) grotto. Well kept Harveys, very friendly bar staff & good music on Sunday night.

Lovely setting, lovely food, lovely people. This place is tucked away from the road down a gravel path and is a beautiful setting, summer or winter.
Perfect for a romantic meal or a family get together, their sunday roasts are fantastic.
