Historic pub atmosphere in Sevenoaks

“I cannot recommend Branded more! The atmosphere as you walk in, is friendly but one that makes you feel like you are in the best hands! Mustafa (apologies if I spelt that wrong) was incredible, it was almost as if he knew telepathically when we needed something and he was there, attentive and jovial. And I haven't even started on the food. The food was exactly what I expected, cooked to perfection! All the produce was high quality and worth every penny. I will definitely be going back soon!!!”

“Just to be clear my scoring system: 1/ Don't go, just don't. 2/ I can't recommend going 3/ I enjoyed it but probably won't go back 4/ I enjoyed it, would go back especially if invited 5/ I enjoyed it, would invite others there myself Honestly I was a touch worried when I entered. It looked just a little bit tired and like a local pub. Should have realised that this just meant it hadn't been turned into a sterile gastropub chain... Because I had the steak. On a hot stone. It was amazing! I love nowhere near... But genuinely if I was anywhere even close I'd go back just to eat that again!!! Service was great and the marquee although temperature went up and down a bit stayed warm enough to keep us comfortable. That steak............”

“A friendly, off-the beaten track local pub, serving great ales direct from the cask. Very traditional interior, and the locals are engaged in funny conversations and banter. This was a great pit stop on our long walk. I think this was how all pubs used to be - a genuine meeting place rather than somewhere to extract money out of you - I hope it never changes!”

“Great pub, very friendly and welcoming. Recommended A+”

“My wife rang on Tuesday evening to find if they had any vegan options available for lunch the following day. She was told they didn't but the chef would sort something out for us. So we booked for 3 adults and one infant. We duly arrived Wednesday lunchtime and were presented with a hand written menu giving us the choice of 4 vegan starters and about 6 vegan lunches. Boy. Were we spoiled!!!! My wife and daughter ordered the Sage and onion vegetable cobbler. I had roasted butternut squash with walnuts, cranberries and pine nuts served with sauteed potatoes, onions and peppers. Our grandson had a starter of garlic chestnut mushrooms served on garlic ciabatta. The portions were more than big enough. The value was fantastic, less than £60.00 for 4 including drinks. Bearing in mind that we could have easily been told there were no options for us, the lengths they went to were incredible. We can only highly recommend this establishment. If you do want to visit and try their vegan options, just give them a day or so notice!”

“A wonderful place to eat with lots of space and great vegetarian options. All the staff were so warm and friendly, we stayed all afternoon. Can't wait to return.”

“Love the relaxed vibe and great food here. The leafy outdoor seating and children's playground are also highlights.”

“The only 'Proper Pub' in the area. Great beer, lovely, home cooked food and a fabulous, friendly atmosphere. A bit like stepping back in time to happy days!”

“An awesome spot for lunch after a long walk in Knole Park. Smiley faces and big welcomes as soon as you step through the door and the quality continues right through each course until you decide to leave after a couple of pints and warning up by the fire. Food was on point ans service was great, couldn’t fault it on bit.”

“This is definitely one of the nicest place I have been to. I have only been there for a meal twice, and can honestly say that I gave never been disappointed with the meals I had. The first time I went there I gad the roast lamb with vegetables, unfortunately when I got there yesterday the only option available was the roast beef, as the Lamb abd Chicken had all gone & boy oh boy! was I glad. The beef was cooked to absolute perfection by Ben (The Owner) I would suggest phoning at 12.00pm (when they open) or a day or two in advance if possible, to book a table , and get there early.. Ben and his staff are extremely pleasant, & can't do enough to make sure you enjoy your experience of eating at his Pub/Restaurant. I would definitely go again. My thanks to everyone at The Plough in Basted, Kent . Until the next time..”

“Was the first time here and no way we were disappointed . From the moment we came through the door to a very warm welcome, until we left the service, was great, the food amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection and presented very well. We will definitely be going back. We booked before hand and that turned out to be a very good idea..”

“Have not been to the rose and crown in over 2 years because of covid. We visited sunday. Was so nice to see Karen and john. Such a friendly village atmosphere. Lovely warm log fire. Me and my husband had roast lamb. The lamb melted in your mouth one of the best roast dinners we have had in a long time. We was very lucky to be fitted in as it was very busy so I would advise to book. Looking forward to our next visit.”

“New landlady & landlord. New decor. New clientele. Apparently a super beer garden in the planning. Friendly welcome...Onwards & upwards!”

“Such friendly and welcoming people, it's more of a gathering of friends in one big front room. Immediately felt welcomed as we entered. Reasonable prices too”

“After severely underestimating the quality of the menu. I'm happy to say our group of ladies had a delicious meal here tonight. Friendly helpful staff in a warm social atmosphere. A good night all round. I personally had the Calamari main and Lemon Cheesecake dessert. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“A top class dining experience, great food, great service, great atmosphere. Have already re-booked.”

“Perfect village pub, has character inside and a massive bear garden. Delicious food and friendly staff. Lovely visit after a nice walk.”

“Very good, clean, quiet, friendly, and good breakfast.”
