Q&A
ThorinsS ituated happily between
the Village area and the
Pantiles, Thorins has been
a feature of Tunbridge
Wells for some years. Staying In &
Going Out spoke to
Richard Satchwell,
the owner.
STAYGO: What
are the highlights
of Thorins?
THORINS: The
service, atmosphere
and, of course, the
food! Thorins is a
great place to meet. We are about to
see our fourth couple get married,
who all met at Thorins!
SG: We’re sure some of our
readers don’t know about the
‘secret garden’.
T: The garden was refurbished last
June, with half covered and the other
half a sun trap! It gets the sun from
the moment it rises, to the moment it
sets! Then we have the covered heated
area, which is very popular in winter.
SG: We’re moving into autumn now.
What’s on the menu?
T: We have a fantastic
new menu, full of old
favourites and our takes
on British Classics, such
as the Sharer Plate,
with Mini Sausages and
Mustard Mash Potato
to dip, Mini Steak &
Kidney Pies and more!
SG: Any great wines?
T: Staff favourites include our
Fernlands Sauvignon Blanc from New
Zealand. And on the reds we have
a fantastic L’Enigme de Foncalieu
Cabernet Sauvignon that goes well
with our Ribs Night. Book early!
SG: Is there anything else you’d like
to add before we close?
T: We're now taking Xmas
bookings, so give us a call and
we hope to see you soon!

1NUMBERWE WENT ON A TOUR OF SOME OF THE BEST CAFÉS IN TOWN!
T unbridge
Wells is
packed
with cafés,
inviting you in to rest and
recuperate for a while. They all have
their own particular style of food and
ambience, and many of them have
pavement seating – which is still
popular with customers even in this
autumnal weather. So which ones
should you choose? There are plenty
of good ones, but here's a selection of
some of our favourites.
Staying In & Going Out
magazine spoke to Matthew Castle,
the new partner at Basil in
St John's Road.
Basil originally began two
years ago, started by Matthew's
sister Julia and her friend.
They wanted to run a café
which offered wholesome,
healthy food in a pleasant,
friendly environment and found
immediate success. However,
quite recently Julia's friend
wanted to pursue other interests,
so Matthew stepped in and
became his sister's business
partner. He's only been in the
job a couple of weeks, but he's
absolutely loving it.
Basil
CAFÉ CULTURE
For Matthew, this new challenge
is a real change of circumstances.
In his last role, he worked at The
Walt Disney Company in London,
as UK Sales Director for the video
games business. He jokes that he has
swapped Powerpoint presentations
for chalkboard specials, and he
doesn't regret it for an instant.
BASIL PHILOSOPHYOver the summer, Matthew and
Julia have worked hard to give
Basil a facelift, with a new coat of
paint and a revamp of their upstairs
seating area, complete with artistic
photographs of London's Covent
Garden. The essential philosophy,
though, hasn't changed. They serve a
varied wholefood menu, specialising
in wonderful quiches (freshly cooked
on the premises by Julia), with
salads, paninis and the inevitable
mouthwatering selection of cakes.
The Basil brownies are well known
for their quality – and you can't miss
the Victoria sponge.
PLANS FOR EXPANSIONMatthew has lots of plans, too. He
wants to develop the outside catering
side of the business – Basil recently
provided a hog roast for 120 people
with an amazing selection of fi ne
salads and artisan breads, plus apple
sauce of course! He's setting up a
loyalty card scheme and he also
wants to increase lunchtime business
with take-out salad boxes and a
delivery service to offi ces. And he'd
like to see more Basil cafés opening
one day... so watch this space!Basil, 56 St John's Road,

glass of wine over lunch.
Positioned perfectly on the High

FRENCH STYLEOpen for breakfast, lunch and
dinner, this French-style brasserie
doesn't only do French! In fact, it
offers a range of traditional and
international dishes, with specials
on the blackboard changing every
day. As well as for more substantial
meals, it's a great place to pop in
for just a tea or coffee, or indeed a
glass of wine. It's near the top end of
Camden Road, so it's close to Royal
Victoria Place and Calverley Road
if you want to take time-out from
work or shopping!

DIVINITY IN TRINITY...Where better to take a pre-show
supper than right inside the
theatre at Divinity Café? It's
open till 8pm on performance
nights, but that's not all... it
offers a good-value range of
snacks and light meals all day. If
you’re feeling extra good, go for
a 'Divine' sandwich with smoked
salmon, avocado, tomato and
mayo. And if you're feeling a bit
devilish, add on a treat from
the selection of cakes, bakes and
puddings. Now who's hungry?

The Spa
Valley
Railway
connects central
Tunbridge Wells with
wonderful local beauty
spots and makes a great day
out for friends and families
alike. Setting off under steam
from the old Tunbridge Wells
West station (near Sainsbury's),
the route takes you 3.5 miles
past the High Rocks, stopping
off at the High Rocks Inn, to the
picturesque village of Groombridge,
where two great pubs and the
well-known Groombridge Place are
waiting to be explored.
The original railway gradually closed
down in the 1960s but in the 1990s, it
was reopened by a group of enthusiasts
known as TWERPS – the Tunbridge Wells
and Eridge Railway Preservation Society!
And it hasn't looked back since. Indeed,
exciting plans are afoot to extend the railway
all the way to Eridge.
And look out for special events. During
October there are Days Out with Thomas. And
heading into December, watch out for the Santa
Specials – booking now!

liFeboats need you!Did you know, it costs
£350,000 a day to keep
the RNLI running? And
most crew members and
lifeguards are volunteers –
often putting their own lives at risk.
So, if you’re looking for an alternative
reason to go out and about, here’s an
opportunity. The Tunbridge Wells
branch of the RNLI is looking for
helpers. Here’s what they told us...
“We have many dedicated supporters
but we are looking for younger people
to help. Five or six hours A YEAR from
you is all we ask to help keep the RNLI
running. If you can spare a few hours
by shaking a collecting box, we’d love
to hear from you! Every penny counts
and spending an hour or so collecting
or helping at an event is a lot of fun.”

Q: why did the fi sh blush?A: because it saw the boat’s bottom.
Doctor, Doctor I keep thinking I’m the school bell.Take these tablets and if they don’t work give me a ring in the morning.
It’s disgusting,
Wells!
Indeed. What did we have in
our day?
Anyway,shall we go
Wells?
Yes – how about a 50-50
grind fi rst?
I never knew such a thing existed – and
right here in OUR town, Tunbridge!
A stick & hoop to play with if we were lucky!
