Pub classics in Sevenoaks

“Cracking little pub with lovely staff. £14 for a steak & ale pie lunch and £4.50 for a pint of Butcombe. Perfect place to finish a North Downs walk.”

“By sevenoaks standards, this is a great pub. It's a proper pub with a good atmos and is a lot of fun. Admittedly, by London standards, its not 5 stars, but its defo one of, if not the best pub in sevenoaks.”

“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............”

“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!”

“Had our Christmas Lunch yesterday it was lovely nice chilled atmosphere, very good service at the right pace didn’t feel rushed. Minor thing not so keen on my desert the Mille Feuille, but everything else was delicious.”

“Absolutely fantastic! Hosted my friends baby shower here and I can’t recommend them enough! So accommodating with budget, decorations, etc unlike other venues! Food was delicious, everyone was catered for and commented on how yummy it was. Cocktails were fab too! Honestly, if you have a party to host or you just want somewhere to go for a coffee…(or something stronger) this is the place to go! Most importantly every staff member was lovely, friendly and helpful! 10 out of 10!”

“Had dinner here for my father in laws bday today. Food was amazing and service was fantastic. Lady serving us went above and beyond and was amazing with all the children. Will definitely be going back”

“Ordered a 3 course Sunday lunch which I collected. Starters was a prawn cocktail with focaccia and butter followed by roast beef, roast turkey, massive yorkshire pudding, 5 separate veggies, including honeyed parsnips and lashings of gravy. Followed by lemon meringue and ice cream, which we ate a couple of hours later. My wife said it was the best roast she had ever had, and I had to agree. Well done the Chequers Inn at Heaverham”

“We held my uncles Wake at the Harrow Inn yesterday. Alison and Dave were very helpful in making the arrangements over the phone, as we are not from the area. The buffet was plentiful and offered a great selection of tasty food. They were able to cater for our vegan and gluten free family members with a nice selection also. We had use of a private room and indeed the whole bar including the garden, should we have needed it. Friendly hosts and good food, we were pleased we chose this venue and would recommend it!”

“An ideal meeting place for a catch up with a friend. We had a table for two in front of a long fire. Very welcome on a freezing day. The food was very good and not expensive given the quality. But the beer was the highlight. Harvey's Bitter from barrels on the counter behind the bar. Properly kept and served. Wish it was my local.”

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

“A classic old English pub in a very quaint village. The real stand out here though is the food - pub classics done very well and the most delicious home-made desserts. Make a reservation and enjoy a hearty, comforting meal.”

“Very nice pub & friendly staff. We turned up on a busy Sunday and they managed to squeeze us in. Here’s our roast Lamb. We’ll definitely be back.”

“The pub is great! The staff was very friendly and informed about the menu and the service was excellent. The food was really tasty and the portions were quite good.”

“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.”

“Lovely cosy pub with friendly staff. The food was great too! Would definitely recommend it. I think maybe the menu prices on the website need updating to current prices, apart from that, all great!”

“Amazing take away place! The staff are always friendly and I have never had any problems.”

“Cute little pub with a couple of nice ales, a bunch of mainstream lagers, and friendly staff. Warm, cosy, and buzzing on this Saturday afternoon. I’ll be back to settle in with food and a few pints, sometime.”

“Live music events. Traditional country village pub. Amazing ice cream produced by owners. Locally produced hot food during events. Well worth a visit. Variety of chickens for children to view.”

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

“The Works is an awesome burger. Curious Ale on tap too. What a great hidden gem. There is an impressive vegan menu too.”

“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”

“Wonderful pub - brilliant decor with warm and comforting atmosphere. Great food and drinks at a good price - with friendly and kind staff. Highly recommended!”

“Great staff Good beer Excellent landlord Lady Good food”

“Good atmosphere, friendly bar staff and great pint of tribute. Didn't get food but pretty extensive pizzas and burgers on the menu.”

“Highly recommend. Lovely village pub, very good food and really friendly service. We’ll return.”

“On a trip down from Scotland, my family and I stopped by for a pint and some fodder. Safe to say that we had a fantastic spread of food, some lovely cold pints and the bar manager James was a legend. Attended to our every need. Lovely atmosphere, good food, great staff and just a stones throw from the train station and high street.”

“Bob, Mandy and the team are so friendly, the food is amazing and the venue is lovely. In the Summer the garden is a great place to have a drink. Highly recommended.”

“A really nice friendly pub both guests and staff ,dog friendly, dartboard, pool table, juke box outside garden with a few bit for kids. Also have regular entertainment and plenty of free parking in the gamecock meadow next door if car park full”
