The Weavers, London Rd Southborough Tunbridge Wells Kent TN4

The art of the Sunday roast lunch is fast disappearing. True, thousands of establishments still offer their attempt at it - the traditional roast beef and yorkshire pud (often out of a packet), roast chicken, etc with a selection of limp, overcooked vegetables and thousands of nasty frozen garden peas. It's a delight to report that the Weavers in Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, offers perhaps the best Sunday lunch that Spy has ever encountered. A choice of beef or turkey (at least on the occasion we visited), and a "mixed roast" - yes, you've guessed it, beef AND turkey - came piled teeteringly high with a scrumptious stuffing and a yorkshire pud proudly on top, with a moat of gravy surrounding. Roast vegetables came in seperate bowls - giant roast potatoes, perfectly fluffy with a crunchy coating, along with roast leeks, parsnips and carrots. Superb. Prices are reasonable at around £7.95 for a vast plate - a snip compared to what you get at the normal £4.95/£5.95 establishments. This really is one of those few places that get something absolutely right and are quietly proud of it - queues of customers on the day we went obviously know. But now it's out - this is a spy secret. A must. M

Weavers - disappointed by lemoneater

I can't say I sampled the food at this recommended location as I booked a table for my wife's birthday, when we arrived the staff (very friendly but unhelpful) tried to seat us at a table suitable only for children due to its size (the chair pulled out 20cm from the table before it hit the wall!), I refused it and was told "it is tough as no other tables are available" Nice I won't be returning!
