Good Ales, Good Service, Good Fun!!
The Grove Tavern has been run by Steve Baxter since early 2003, now with a small, select team of staff that have many years experience in the industry. It is reputedly the oldest and smallest pub set just off of the High Street in the ‘village’ area of the spa town of Tunbridge Wells, close to the Pantiles and Chalybeate Springs.
“We pride ourselves on offering quality cask conditioned (real) ales alongside the usual range of lagers, cider, wines, premium label spirits and soft drinks. Whether looking for a permanent ‘watering-hole’ or just to pop-in for a quick refresher, you can be sure of a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome by both the staff and regulars alike.”
The landlord is also an I.T. Consultant so you can also join many of the others bringing in their computer problems for him to fix whilst they enjoy a light libation!
Obviously, it is also incredibly dog friendly with many four legged regulars enjoying the company (and treats!) with the pub’s own German Shepherd – Shimmy.
