Relaxing bar atmosphere 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.”

“Really nice waiter, great food, and reasonably priced - exceeded expectations!”

“Absolutely wonderful pub. Tables and chairs around the bar but there is plenty of space there as well. Move away from the bar and there are a number of nooks and crannies to get comfortable in. The furniture is eclectic but comfortable and really does fit with the place. The pub used to brew their own beer but unfortunately had to stop. You will see a number of nice shiny beer vats around. To end, the Guinness was excellent as was the Adnam's Ghost Ship.”

“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!”

“I love Majestic wine. There's always a good selection of non-wine items as well as a great wine selection and good value when you buy a case. I'd always look for a majestic first. Staff also good - knowledgeable and helpful but not grabby...”

“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!”

“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”

“Our initial plan was just to have a cup of coffee before the hike. Then I wanted to have a quick breakfast. Surprisingly the service was very prompt even inside was packed. But I was impressed more by the stylish service and the taste. It's not my local but now and then I want to visit here for their excellent coffee + food + dog friendly”

“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.”

“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!”

“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..”

“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.”

“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!”

“Love this place! Our regular curry house with great food, fair prices and good service. Highly recommend”

“Amazing boozer...just moved to area and love are new local. Lovely friendly staff, funky music and great atmosphere ❤️”

“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.”

“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.”

“Staff were nice and pleasant. The pub had quite a relaxed atmosphere almost like a coffee shop rather than a pub. Lots of tables outside although I think these are shared with the businesses adjoining the pub. The Guinness was excellent as was the Late Red (Shepherd Neame)”

“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”

“These guys are an institution - food is always fresh - always so pleasant - and offering a bit of fresh doner while we waited was a treat!!! Go here at least a few times a month - today didn't disappoint!”

“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.”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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