Dunorlan Park Cafe

Dunorlan Park, Pembury Road, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent TN2 3QD

With a view to die for this cafe has got your breakfast/lunch needs all wrapped up in a neat little package. Boasting what must be the finest English Breakfast in all of Christendom at a price that would make a Scot blush (before you complain, my lovely wife is Scottish so I'm allowed the odd joke about them). The Cafe looking over Dunorlan Park has become my wife and I's new hot place to spend a warm morning in the sun.
The Full English at a bargain £3.50 serves up two thick rashers of bacon, two of those scrummy sausages that taste like posh hotdogs, two absolutely perfectly fried eggs, a gallon of thick baked beans to cover everything in their tomatoey goodness and two rounds of buttered toast to wipe up the excess. Thank goodness this cafe is in a park because you'll need a walk after that lot!
My wife loves their fried egg sandwiches, always good fun to watch the golden yellow yolk spill out onto her lap, their delicious hamburgers and the unbelievably good homemade chicken and vegetable soup, which if you are feeling under the weather is a perfect pick-me-up.
Don't be fooled by the cheap prices on the menu, this food is top notch cafe fare. Grab a seat outside on the balcony and just watch the park life go by, but do it now before they realise how good their food really is and double their prices.

good food ,good service, good everything. but we wont be going back. why? BECAUSE ITS TOO LOUD! not only couldnt we have a conversation but the noise of other people shouting at each other was almost painful.

Ah, now this is more like it. Following the recent disappointment at "Relish", I heeded the wisdom of these pages and went to the Dunorlan Park Cafe for lunch.

I was not disappointed: a hearty (and delicious) meal and a large mug of tea for less than four pounds. And in such a lovely setting, too. I am sure that I shall be spending many lunchtimes, here, but, given the size of the portions, I am glad that there is plenty of room in the park to take some exercise.

Once again, took the advice of this great site and headed off to Dunloran Park one Sunday to partake of VERY generous full english prior to a walk around the park, highly recommended, and will be returning.

I am a regular visitor to this cafe which is very good value and is in beautiful surroundings. However, I would happily pay a bit more for better quality sausages, bacon and Heinz beans, less watery sauces etc.(meat could be sourced from Fullers, Nelson Road). Ice Cream is also great value.

I appear to be in the minority as I'm disappointed with my 3 experiences at the cafe in Dunorlan Park. Knowing it is owned by the gentleman who owns/owned the cafe in Calverley Grounds when I used to visit about 10 years ago I expected good things but no such luck. Long waits for substandard bacon sandwiches. Plus having to explain 3-4 times what we want. Not worth the trek round the lake.
