"We visited this pub after reading the reviews...we weren 't disappointed! You can instantly feel the fondness the locals have for this place, its very welcoming to locals visitors. The weather was hammering it down but it was obvious this didn 't deter anyone! Fran made us feel welcome! After contacting her on Instagram, she made a real effort as she knew it was our anniversary. We stopped for lunch on our way to visit Chartwell House. The staff were lovely, very attentive. You can really feel a sense of 'family ' amongst them. The food was delicious! We arrived just after it opened it quickly filled up with dog walkers families. My husband loved the real ale served there, and it was a nice surprise to find a tasty, traditional cider too. Fran even gifted us a couple of real ale glasses! We would highly recommend! Book in advance as its busy. Look forward to re-visiting"

"This is probably the best restaurant in Sevenoaks and it's definitely my favorite. We visited last night for a birthday party and Quentin and the staff were amazing. They were extremely friendly and accommodating. They served us a platter featuring delicious items like brisket, pulled boar, and BBQ ganse, accompanied by equally tasty sides such as smoky, spicy red cabbage, a Puy lentil and blue cheese salad, and of course, BBQ beans (the Bounty BBQ sauce is fantastic). We will definitely be back very soon, and probably quite often. Thank you to the team for making our evening so enjoyable!"

"While visiting Knole, we decided to have lunch at a nearby pub and came across the Bricklayers Arms after a quick Google search. We were pleasantly surprised by the picturesque view of a lovely lake outside the pub. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the staff and promptly handed menus. My partner enjoyed a classic dish of ham, egg, and chips, which did not disappoint with its generous serving of thick ham. I opted for a delicious goats cheese baguette. We left feeling satisfied and happy that we had stumbled upon such a great find. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was friendly, and the staff were welcoming. It was a perfect end to our day, as we didn't have to worry about cooking dinner."

"One of my favourite pubs in Kent. I travel up to 45 minutes out of my way to stop for a meal. The food is always excellent, especially for such a price point and the selection of beverages very large and of great quality. Special mention to the rotating selection of local beers ales, always a new gem to discover at each visit. The staff is very professional and kind, and have always me feel welcomed and wanting to return back. The pub is fully dog friendly and 4-legged friends will be looked after equally as attentively as hooman patrons, and may even get their drink first with free nibbles "

"Nice service and lovely atmosphere but unfortunately the food was terrible and super over priced. I went with my family for a Sunday roast, I'm a massive meat lover but I couldn't finish one slice of my meat, it tasted like it came out of a package. Very overpriced for low quality food. We've paid the same we would pay for a Sunday lunch at a top steak house in Covent garden Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4"

"I have been a frequent visitor for a number of years and cannot speak highly enough of it. A terrific place for an evening meal, lunch or sociable drink, with lovely decor and atmosphere. Even when they are busy the staff are always very welcoming and attentive and ensure you are never waiting long to be served. Also it’s a well run and managed venue which helps ensure your visit is always positive."

"Was sadly disappointed by this place, Squerryes of Westerham, its estate and winery conjures up history, elegance and quality. There is no I quality here, in fact its more of an industrial estate than a beautiful estate, the staff are badly trained and the front...of house manager is as absent as someone on strike. We saw a poor member of staff drop a full tray of food and drinks on customers, the manager looked and hey presto he was absent and off rather than assist the poor young chap and apologise to the guests for the drinks and food down them. Now for our food, for the prices we paid its poor value. Mozzarella that was too hard (not fresh) and lacklustre potted shrimps. My wife did enjoy the mussels for main course but the sauce lacked flavour, my steak £36 ! was not cooked to my order, very dry and chewy, the chips and salad were good. So that starters and main course for two people , two small glasses of wine and two half pints of beer £124.30, I thought we were in London for a minute. This could be a great place if staff training in and outside the kitchen were improved and proper management installed and better value food. We had a wonky table also no amounts of cardboard could solve but that was good enough for the restaurant not fixing our table properly. Reading the reviews management only replies to positive reply’s , wish I had read the reviews before booking."

"This small lunch spot was a pleasant surprise! What started as a lunch for 3 colleagues turned into a group of 7 when we walked in. Soprano looks small from the outside, but it's actually quite spacious with hidden seating at the back. We were warmly welcomed by a friendly server who promptly seated us and handed us menus. The menu had a great selection of piadinas, paninis, sandwiches, salads, jacket potatoes, with unique fillings and toppings that you wouldn't find at chain cafes or pubs. There were also plenty of drink options, including iced teas, alongside the standard teas and coffees. Our gluten-free colleague was well taken care of as well. The service and food quality were excellent, and the prices were fair for the delicious food we received. Besides lunches, this gem of a find also offers mouthwatering cakes and has a liquor license. We were thrilled to have found this place and regretted not discovering it sooner. Fortunately, it's just a few minutes away from our office so we'll definitely be returning."

"The Old Eden is a lovely pub. It's warm, welcoming has a good selection of beers and the staff are lovely, but the Sunday roast I was served was dreadful. My wife and I ordered roast pork and were served a half-inch thick slab of over-cooked pork loin that was so dry and tough I struggled to cut it, let alone chew it. Two undercooked roast potatoes were another dry and unpleasant addition, paired with a pale and slightly under-done Yorkshire pudding. The veg was limited to a sickly-sweet puddle of red cabbage and a splat of mashed carrots and swede. There wasn't enough gravy and the apple sauce had no flavour at all. It was a struggle to eat and frankly unpleasant. Of our group of four, none of us enjoyed the meal. I want to support local businesses, but when the quality is this bad I'm left helpless. I'm sorry for this bad review Old Eden, but please sort out your kitchen."

"I have been a patron of Hattusa Sevenoaks for several years, and the food has always been excellent. However, during my most recent visit, there was a noticeable change in the atmosphere. I have always enjoyed Hattusa for its relaxed ambiance, but this time the service felt rushed, from ordering to having our plates cleared. It was clear that we were expected to eat quickly and leave as soon as possible, with the manager even giving us a 10-minute notice to vacate our table. Despite there being only two other occupied tables and over ten empty ones, we were told that our table was needed for a reservation in 10 minutes. We would have been understanding if we were asked to move to a different table, but the only option presented to us was to leave. It is disappointing to say, but we will not be returning to Hattusa and cannot recommend it anymore."

"We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The steak was perfectly cooked, the sides and starters were delicious. The service was outstanding, with the waitress and chefs accommodating my gluten and dairy free restrictions. Thank you to the entire staff for a great experience. Overall, we give this restaurant a 5 out of 5 for food, service, and atmosphere. The price per person was £100+."

"This used to be a very nice restaurant to dine in but maybe not so good now. Probably best to just have the takeaway option as the food is still very good. We opted to go out for a quick mid week meal only to have drilling works going on within the restaurant which we weren’t made aware of when shown to our table. The guy doing the work dropped all his tools on the floor in the middle of the restaurant whilst we were eating as they fell through the middle of a cardboard box he was carrying them in sending them flying in all directions under the table. We then had to sit through two arguments with customers over telephone orders relating to overcharging and refunds. The guy who was put in charge to manage clearly didn’t have a clue what he was doing. The ambience and detail to service is sadly lacking here now. The last time we came there was no attention to small things like cleaning the table between courses. This time it was slightly chaotic. No restful relaxing meal. We ate our meal and left promptly."

"brilliant. another jewel of a classic pub in the heart of kent. the workers are down to the earth, the atmosphere is relaxed and social. eating is top production for a pub. ingredients are produced locally; the dishes on the menu are current twists on the traditional. the salmon capital is one of the most exciting meals I have eaten this year. it was so packed with ingredients, it would also do like a vegetarian dish. the food was served immediately and hotly perforated, the price is on place. if the weather is good, given the plentiful parking space and sitting area outdoors, this is a great place to relax and enjoy with the family."

"Gluten Free Chinese food! Our young Daughter has Coeliac disease and I also eat strictly Gluten free. We’ve eaten wonderful Gluten free food many times at Chows with no issues with Gluten, just great food and impeccable care from all staff and Chefs. All the staff are highly trained to avoid cross contamination and you can be confident they serve Coeliac -safe food. It’s always a treat to eat at Chow’s!"

"The Sunday lunch portion was a good size and I rated it 5 stars. I couldn't find any faults with it. However, the waitress who served us didn't seem very experienced and may not be suitable for working in a pub or restaurant. The pub wasn't very busy, but the service was quite slow. We didn't have any appetizers and had to wait 40 minutes to be served with no apparent reason. I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, the service was lacking. On the plus side, the meal was very good. There is no parking available, but dogs are allowed."

"Went for lunch today having not been to the Kentish Horse for many years. Traditional British Pub with very friendly welcoming bar staff. Interior unchanged, just how we remembered it, lovely large garden. Having had enjoyable meals here before we were slightly disappointed today. The pub wasn't busy but we had what we considered a long wait for two main meals. A Ploughman's with Brie and Stilton was ordered, which came with just the Brie,(even though the barman wrote it down) it would of been better value with a baguette rather than a roll. The chips that were ordered to go with The Steak Roll were over cooked too! My husband asked for a bottle of diet coke, he had started chatting with locals at the bar and didn't notice he had been given an all most flat glass of pump coke. No desserts were ordered but an Irish coffee was that was barely warm. Okay they are all simple things that could of been corrected if brought to the attention of staff, but if they were on the ball they wouldn't need correcting!!"

"Had Sunday lunch at The Fountain today with my family (2 adults, 2 children). Absolutely brilliant meal and a lovely, buzzing pub as they should be on a Sunday afternoon. So refreshing to have a new team in there bringing a special place back to life. The roasts were excellent best roast I'e had in a pub in a long time actually (I had beef, husband had chicken). Kids meals were a breakaway from the usual: still had chips but proper chips, not just frozen fries and some kind of nasty looking/tasting protein option. Proper battered fish for my daughter and proper burger for my son but both in small size and not over facing. Really good. Couldn't be happier that this pub seems to be finding it's feet again after a c.3 year gap."

"My wife,myself and our grownup daughter had lunch here a couple of days ago. The pub used to be called 'The Black Boy ' which my wife and I used when we were courting 55 years ago. Price 's have changed since then but first impression on walking in ,was it was like a pub should be. Basic furniture, spacious and welcoming. I found the menu a pleasant change from the usual pub menu, a little quirky which was good. I had Welsh Rarebit, my wife and daughter had Ploughman 's sandwich. They were brilliantly presented and adequate. The rest of the menu was interesting and made a good change from the usual pub menus."
