CAFÉ CULTURE WE 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.

Basil
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.
Matthew Castle at Basil
PLANS FOR EXPANSION BASIL PHILOSOPHY Over 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.
Matthew 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 fine 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 offices. And he'd like to see more Basil cafés opening one day... so watch this space! Basil, 56 St John's Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4 9NY 01892 526 422
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.

FRENCH STYLE Open 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!

he Spa LONDON Valley Railway connects central Tunbridge Wells with wonderful local beauty spots and makes a great day Birchden Junction 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! Telephone 01892 537 715 or visit www.spavalleyrailway.co.uk

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.” If you can help or would like to know more, please contact Joan Hamilton-Smith on 01892 539551 or email at cjay13@hotmail.com
