The Bick Works has been refurbished in a simple and bright format without losing its pub atmosphere. The new owners seek to attract back families and local groups in a welcoming atmosphere and organise live music nights which are advertised on the pub's Facebook page. The saloon incorporates billiards, pool and darts with a sports TV. Happy hours are held during the week Although hidden among the High Brooms streets the pub is very accessible, just a few minutes walk from the railway station and benefitting from a frequent Arriva 281 bus service link to Tunbridge Wells. There is outdoor seating to the front of the pub.

Built 1891-8 (that’s what is says on the building!). Following closure and being sold by Greene King the High Brooms Tavern has recently been subject to a sensitive refurbishment and a change of name. The main bar on the right with a vestibule entrance was two rooms - note the 'Private bar' etched window on the right. Also, the off sales has been absorbed by removal of a partition - note the window panel 'Bottle & Jug' Departmt' on a door on the right.

Some boarding on the front of the counter were recently removed to reveal the original Victorian counter front with decorative pilasters with capitals, which has been painted in two shades of blue. The counter has been reduced in length by some three feet on the right hand side. The top is a recent replacement. The original three part bar back fitting remains - the middle section is original with its mirrored panels and a row of drawers - on the right the original upper section with mirrored panels remains but the lower shelving and drawers have been removed and relocated to the left front of the room following the shortening of the counter, but the left hand section is a modern copy and the lower shelves here have been removed for a fridge. There is dado panelling all around the room, on the left there is a Victorian tiled, cast iron and wood surround fireplace remains but disused and lots of original etched windows.

There is a wide gap to the left room. The front left door (now blocked-up) did lead into a lobby with original partition walls but this has been swept away recently. The lounge was two rooms separated by a partition, as indicated by the recently revealed the parquet floor and two 1930s brick fireplaces. The counter here is actually an old chest of drawers The old dado panelling has been painted light blue. Modernised toilets. Opens at 3 Mon to Fri.
