A great resource for Tunbridge Wells - a lovely space to meet and chat, whether you're on your own or with others. A warm, friendly and reassuring space - good value and yummy food.... I especially like their cheese scones! It's at 19 Camden Rd, Tunbridge Wells TN1 2QY

The Kitchen Table is a café for everyone but with a special focus on being a supportive environment for those living with poor mental health and those who support them. It is not just about coffee and cake – it is about community, connecting and chatting!
