Quick info
About Verdigris
Verdigris is a modern European restaurant and bar at 89 High St in Tonbridge, set beside the river that flows through the town. Its River Terrace sits by the water, and the bar has large armchairs where guests can linger over a digestif after dinner. The kitchen is open daily and serves lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Coffee, including lattes, and tea are also on offer, so the bar and restaurant can be used outside mealtimes. The team also hosts occasions such as birthday meals and a wedding.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly staff are what reviewers raise most, describing a welcoming team that works hard on big occasions, including a wedding where one member of staff went out to buy Tia Maria for the mother of the groom. Food comes close behind, with diners singling out the pork belly as juicy and soft, along with the focaccia, oysters, crab linguine and lamb. Others praise a good choice of veggie options and a Sunday brunch that was beautifully prepared and presented. The riverside setting is a further draw. Reviewers describe a quiet spot where outdoor seating was still nice on a cold grey day, and a relaxed bar where the music sits just below conversation level, suited to coffee and meeting friends. The one complaint is from a diner who sat outside and noticed a whiff of what smelled like bins from the adjacent service yard. At a birthday meal, a delayed lamb was met with an apology and left off the bill.

“Great experience - the pork belly was amazing, juicy and soft. The focaccia was delicious too. Very nice ambience and very friendly staff - I’ll definitely be back”

“We came for a birthday meal and Megan our Waitress was superb. The starters of oysters and Burrata was fantastic. My wife had the crab linguine and I ordered the Lamb. The lamb actually was delayed coming out and they apologised and didnt even charge us. This is a really friendly and well run restaurant - we will be back Thanks Sophie and Chris”

“Verdigris hosted my son's wedding. They could not have worked harder to make the day better. Food was superb. The staff could not have been more helpful especially Millie and Adam. Adam was a superstar going to buy Tia Maria to make the mother of the groom very happy 😁. Would highly recommend.”

“This is a charming bar set alongside the river that flows through the town. A perfect place to sit and relax or meet up with some friends. I haven't eaten here but I understand the food is excellent. Every single member of staff is very friendly and attentive and they always welcome you with a smile. It seems wrong to single out individual members of staff as they are all excellent, but I do have to say that Adam, Ryan and Millie excel. If you have never been here I can assure you if you try it, you won't be disappointed. By the way, I have not been paid for this review!”

“Great food and service. We sat outside with a view of the river. The only downside was a whiff of what smelled like bins in the adjacent service yard, not sure if something can be done about that. Definitely recommendable overall!”

So come, sit down, unwind and relax. Let us take care of you. After all life is short and each moment is to be treasured. Carpe diem.”
