Preparing Cocktails

ABOUT US

At Sip&Slide, we’re all about great food done right - proper burgers, bold chicken wings, and a laid-back space you'll want to come back to.

With locally sourced, grass-fed beef at the heart of our menu, bold chicken wings, and a line-up of rotating craft beers, wines, and cocktails worth coming back for, we’ve built a space for chilled catch-ups, pre-night-out bites, and every well-earned “treat yourself” moment in between.

This distinguished gentleman stopped by last night with his human to see if dogs were allowed in.
We’re pleased to report it’s a resounding yes.
Well-behaved humans welcome too. Treats are always on hand for our four-legged (and two legged) guests 🐾

Meet the Reuben:
A deli classic, smashed into a burger.
Salty, tangy, indulgent; doing exactly what it’s meant to do.
This one has opinions, and we’re fine with that.

It’s invite-only, so DM us for an invite and we’ll sort you out. (First come first served)

Can’t wait to pour those first pints ✨🍺

Hey folks, we’ve got a bit of a shift. Because of the water outage and now boil notice affecting much of Tunbridge Wells (you’ve probably heard), we’re pushing our opening back to Thursday 11 December, at 6pm.

We’re gutted. We were so ready to get the taps pouring and the grills firing. But right now water’s still out for thousands across town, and coming back we have a boil notice, which makes a kitchen & bar tricky.

Obviously this sucks for us, but if you’re able, please go check out your favourite local café, restaurant, or pub between now and then. Many of our neighbours in hospitality have had to shut for days now and will really feel the pinch even now some normality is resuming. A pint, a bite to eat, a bit of trade wouldn’t go amiss for them.

We’ll come out swinging on 11 Dec. Thanks for sticking with us. See you then 🍔🍻

Presenting our house beer collaborators:

@lionbreweryco - Island Lager and Pale Ale will be permanent lines - we're Part of the Pride!

@longmanbrewery - Best Bitter and Crafty Blonde (gf) will be permanent, with two other lines on rotation. Rising Giant is one of our opening guest taps, but to see the other one you'll have to come down Friday!

The Refurb Diaries: 16 days to go 🔨🍔

Two weeks until soft launch…and honestly, we’re not sure if it’s coming together or if we’re just making a massive mess 😅

The kitchen’s halfway in, the paint’s still drying, and the bar top build has just begun. But hey, it’s all part of the chaos, right?

Stick with us. The burgers will be worth it. 🍔✨

The lights are on, and we’re almost home. ✨
22 days and counting until doors open, beers pour, and burgers hit the grill.

Every day gets us a little closer to that first round; and trust us, it’s going to taste so good. 🍔🍺

Hi, we're Phil & Dan: the slightly tired faces behind Sip & Slide.

Between us we’ve spent nearly 40 years in the industry, from cosy pubs to high-end kitchens in France, and some very long shifts behind bars around the South East.

We didn’t wake up one day and decide to “open a cute bar”.

We’ve lived this. We love this.
And we’re building a place where hospitality feels personal again: great beer, proper burgers, and the kind of welcome we’d want ourselves.

🎉 Opening Friday 28th November
📍 Tunbridge Wells
🍻 Lion Brewery & Long Man on tap
🍔 Menu coming soon (trust us…)

Thanks for following along! Seeing this grow from dust & dreams is wild. Can’t wait to pour you a pint soon 🍺

Drop a comment if you live locally: we want to meet our neighbours.

The Refurb Diaries: The Story So Far 🛠️

When we picked up the keys, this place was…let’s call it full of potential.

Ceiling tiles, strip lights, mystery wiring, and the kind of vibe that whispered
“please renovate me.”

A few weeks, a lot of dust, and more trips to the builders’ merchants than we can count later…and suddenly there’s a bar where a bar only dreamed of being.

Walls are painted, counters are built, the cellar’s nearly ready for beer, and every day it looks a little more like the place we’ve pictured for so long.

26 days until opening.

Thanks for following along: we can’t wait to hand you a pint on opening night 🍺

Drop a 🔨 if you’re loving the glow-up.

One slightly wonky Polaroid and two slightly sleep-deprived humans behind it… but we made it this far, so we’re calling that a win!

Big news: we’re aiming to open 28th November.
Nerves? Yes. Excitement? Also yes. Excessive caffeination? Absolutely.

The bar’s taking shape, the floors are going down, and we’re doing that thing where you squint and suddenly it looks like a real place and not just a timber yard with dreams 🍔🍺

More updates soon. But for now, here’s your official “nearly there” moment.

See you soon, TW. We’re nearly ready for you.

The Refurb Diaries: Setting the Bar High 🍺
Big week for the build: the heart of Sip & Slide is finally taking shape. The bar is in downstairs, and the floor down upstairs.
Still a little rough around the edges, but soon enough it’ll be where the pints are poured & the stories made.
One step closer, Tunbridge Wells. 🙌

The Refurb Diaries: Raise the Roof 🛠️

Turns out, all it takes is a new ceiling to make the whole place feel like it’s finally coming together. The old tiles? Gone. The vibe? Levelled up.

The bones of Sip & Slide are really starting to show, and we’re here for it. 🍺🍔

Swipe for a peek at what we were working with before 👀

The Refurb Diaries: the Cellar Reveal 🍺
So, what was behind the door? 👀

Not The Temple of Doom, though there were a few close calls with cables. ⚡️

The cold cellar’s shaping up to be the coolest spot in the house; literally. ❄️
Soon to be home to all your favourite beers. 🍻

It's insulated, and will be temperature controlled, (think a big fridge) and we'll have a wall of kegs and casks to choose from when we open.

Come back Monday to see what’s happening upstairs 👷‍♂️⬆️

The Refurb Diaries: Month Two (part two) 🍔🍺
Another week, another big step for Sip & Slide! 💪

That old green on the woodwork? Gone. 👋
The front’s had a major glow-up, and inside things are finally starting to take shape: walls patched, ceilings painted, and the space slowly transforming from a building site into a bar.

It’s all getting very real now, and we can almost taste that first pint & burger combo. Not long, Tunbridge Wells. 🙌

A little chaos, a lot of excitement: Sip & Slide is taking shape! 💥

We’ve been picking colours, knocking down walls, laying out bars, and dreaming about the day we can finally pour your first pint and serve up those smash burgers. 👷‍♂️🎨🍔

It’s all happening right here in Tunbridge Wells, and we can’t wait to welcome you before Christmas. 🎄

Stick around for sneak peeks, menu reveals, and maybe a few test pints along the way… 😉
