The Manor House, Tunbridge Wells

There are some steps up to the entrance of the Pitcher and Piano and to the right is some seating that is covered by two jumbrellas. I was one of only three customers in here on the recent Wednesday afternoon that I visited so there was no atmosphere, not that there usually is at anytime in a Pitcher and Piano pub. Maybe it gets busier between the hours of 17:00 and 20:00 during the week when cocktails and selected bottles are half price. The bar is stocked with premium draught products and the lone hand pump was unused. The lower ground bar and garden out the back was closed off, which was understandable as the large main bar was ample enough space for the three of us. There was some very low music playing in the background and I didn’t spot any TVs which I think is the norm for this chain. Food is served and the starters come in at £4.50 and the mains are available for around £9.50. There’s not much here to draw me back so when next in the area I will drink in one of the more traditional pubs that Tunbridge Wells has aplenty.
