George and Dragon - Chipstead in Sevenoaks

Had a really great Roast beef lunch here today . Lots of meat and fresh veg. Great , friendly service . Definitely we will return here .

Great pub, first class wine and excellent friendly staff. I highly recommend. Ten out of ten.

Had a wonderful time. Set menu was excellent.

A family favourite. Consistently good food and a pretty, well designed pub which is great for summer and winter dining. But they do have hit and miss service. We have had several very slow meals and this evening weren’t served a drink for 30 minutes. I had to go to the bar myself for the second round. They still automatically applied the discretionary service charge with no apology for the slow service. Appreciate it has been a long busy summer and hiring good staff is a challenge but equally it isn’t great to take the service charge (and customer goodwill) for granted.

It was good and we had a nice time, but service was a tad amateur and menu choice was very samey, especially the deserts

The perfect first dinner in the UK! The aperol spritz mocktail was the best one I’ve ever had and both the beef and chicken roast dinners were super flavorful!! Even my kids ate it all which never happens ! A lovely experience! Also good to note that they are very kid friendly with a playground and high chairs and a great kids menu!

Went on Sunday and had a fantastic roast beef lunch. Came with a huge gravy boat of delicious gravy! Staff all really friendly and attentive. Food arrived quickly, and plenty of it. We ate in the garden which is lovely, and feels nestled away. Highly recommended - we all agreed it was one of the best pubs we’ve visited for food. Our new favourite Sunday roast venue.

A lovely 400 year old pub with nice food and drinks, has the rustic charm of low beam ceilings, uneven floors and traditional fittings. More of a local pub than tourist haunt, the locals bring their dogs and it seems to be a meeting point. Don't expect a extensive menu or large wine list but what the do id of great quality.

Caution! The host is in a good mood, makes jokes and - like the rest of the friendly team - takes great care of his guests. Everything else is perfect in the beautiful pub. For us fans, homemade bread, steak sandwich, salmon steak and a wonderful grilled chicken burger in the garden. Thanks see you next time.

Setting, service, food and drink - especially the local beers - are all splendid. The menu is just the right level of elaborateness for an up-market pub - excellent without being annoyingly pretentious. The staff are charming, and the rest of the clientele are very pleasant - there isn't the slight feeling you get in some pubs that you are intruding on a private local gathering of regulars. The outdoor space is beautiful. The toilets are on the same level as your table. This is not far from being the perfect pub, all the more remarkable as it is just a mile outside the M25, but somehow feels genuinely rural.

Lovely (gastro) pub in a lovely Kent village. Excellent food, always fantastic service and a relaxed atmosphere in the beautiful pub building that (I think) dates from tudor times and in the lovely garden. Many thanks to team for always making a visit there a great pleasure.

I had just taken my daughters dog for a very long and tiring walk and thought I would pop in to the George and Dragon for a drink and light lunch. I sat down at a table that was not reserved in the garden. A young lady approached me and I politely asked if I could order a drink and see the menu. She asked if I had booked I said I hadn’t to which she replied we can serve a drink but not food as we have a lot of bookings today. It was 11.45 and although it was Father’s Day, should this matter! The table was not reserved there were many empty tables and I am one person. I left but felt upset. I did phone them only for the women who answered to raise her voice and speak over me even as I said she had made point very clear. Very uncool isn’t it 2024, have we not moved on. Such a shame it’s a lovely pub but as I never ate or drank , I can’t review the grub!

Excellent service and food as always 😊. Attentive, polite team, brilliant kids menu choices and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you G&D for another super evening.

Amazing food and fantastic service. We come here regularly, knowing we’ll always enjoy it! Such a relaxed, cosy pub experience. Thank you!

My family and I visited The George and Dragon in Chipstead for lunch, and it was not a positive experience. We were initially seated at a lovely table for four (we were a party of three), but were soon asked to move and squeeze ourselves into a very small table for two. When we asked if we could stay at the table for four, the manager refused and said they would not serve us any food until we agreed to move. This made us feel discriminated against because we were three people instead of four. The staff was unpleasant, and the service was extremely slow. At one point, we began to wonder if the staff had forgotten about us. When our food finally arrived, the burgers were greasy and not up to the standard of other places in the area. We felt unwelcome and pressured into agreeing to their unreasonable demands. To add insult to injury, a 10% service charge had already been added to our bill. I will never return to this place. If they don't treat customers right, the damage to their reputation will be inevitable.

This is a lovely venue with a nice atmosphere and young friendly staff. However the food is only so so . The chicken liver parfait really needed a sharp contrasting fruity chutney . Of all the chutney in the world, why serve a bland boring pale imitation ? The bread was the best bit sadly ! The squid and chorizo starter was fine but nothing special . As for the mains, the vegetarian dish of Cauliflower was too dry and not nice . The pork belly was ok but again nothing delicious. Soft drinks are often just from a mixer tap ie not in individual glass bottles which is a bit lazy and it would be nicer to have the option .

Very friendly, efficient and helpful staff, mildly disappointed with the steak in my sandwich but not enough to have sent it back. Enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon here.

A lovely, atmospheric pub in a pretty village. The welcome was warm, and food and service were both great. A good range of beers.

Lovely food, good sized portions and nice staff

Gorgeous pub and amazing food. They are offering a slightly limited menu at the moment as the staff/owners have a holiday and a new baby expected, but there are still plenty of choices and everything we ate today (there were 6 of us who each tried a different dish) was delicious. Service was a little slow, but friendly and good enough: this was probably due to the change of staff and did not detract from the meal we had. Very enjoyable, thank you very much!

Plenty of parking. Very friendly and helpful waitress. Good food

Like stepping into an oasis of warmth. I love this pub. Delicious food, beautiful staff. Always welcomed with an authentic smile. Can't wait to go back.

FANTASTIC MOTHERS DAY MEAL We were greeted with a friendly, warm welcome by the staff on arrival. The pub has a cosy feel, with a beautiful open fire. We all had the 3 course set mother’s day menu. The roast sirloin beef was absolutely delicious. The roast potatoes were cooked to perfection, crispy! Just how I love them! I now know why Sundays are particularly busy. The staff were kind and attentive. The bar staff also make a great espresso martini. Had this not been Mother’s Day I would have called my girlfriends down just to sit and work our way through the whole cocktail list! We will definitely be back and try out the mid week menu.

Love this place been going here for years for us they now serve a stunning array of dishes and moved up a notch great value and very attentive staff great place to eat

Went with friends last night, table for 4. Food was delicious, and although the serving staff were young. They were very polite, friendly and efficient. We got a bit tipsy on the Stellenbosch red wine, and will definitely be going back. Highly recommended.

Very cosy. Friendly staff. Yummy food

Absolutely first class Sunday lunch, will definitely be back soon.Well done

Great food, finest ales and an extensive selection of fine wines. A great choice for the discerning patron. Combine this with friendly staff and a beautiful period building, the G&D is a must anytime I am in the area. (2024 update: Still the most amazing food! Never a let-down)

Brilliant pub/restaurant. Really friendly staff. Keep it up all.

Great little pub. Lovely food, attentive staff. Recommended.

As always excellent food, service and value for money

A nice, friendly pub, with good service and friendly staff

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and great service.

Great pub. Will be back to try the food.

Great food and nice atmosphere.

Fantastic traditional pub with a great Sunday roast. Staff very friendly and efficient.

Cosy pub with excellent food and helpful friendly staff. Enjoyed a lunch meeting with friends. There's a convinently located carpark at the side of the pub, which I missed seeing and parked in the high Street. Nice choice of food available on the menu, I was pleased to see a number of vegetarian options 👍 I really enjoyed the beatroot risotto.

The best Sunday roast we've ever eaten! Absolutely delicious. Attentive, friendly service, staff always smiling and very helpful. Will recommend to everyone I know!

Lovely place with lovely staff.

Good atmosphere and cosy, typical English pub in the area. The waitresses are very friendly. The food is average but with good company.... You don't even notice!

After a big build up about Sunday roasts at this pub we arrived with high expectations to our booked table only to be disappointed. They had run out of roast meats and this had then had a knock on to the pork belly option, also not available! We also witnessed others who were so disappointed that they left as soon as they were told no roasts. Which begs the question, who decides how many portions are allocated to bookings and do they need to review the process as they are apparently so well known for a Sunday roast!

Lovely little pub with not bad prices. Great staff and atmosphere

Fantastic Sunday roast, and super friendly service. Will definitely return.

The food here is outstanding, and so reasonably priced. We ate three delicious courses and paid less than £35 each. Honestly it is brilliant value. The outside area is really nice too. Only slight downside is the very tight car park, and we asked for tap water twice and never got any. But aside from that it is really great.

One of the very best meals in a pub I’ve ever had - everything I ate was perfect. The seating in the garden is very pleasant and the staff were all very helpful and friendly (although we asked for some water a couple of times and it never arrived). The food is very very good value. The bread and butter was sublime, the mushroom and truffle risotto so creamy and decadent and the Eve’s pudding and custard so comforting and tasty. I would really like to return and try more things from the menu. Soon I hope!

Booked this pub to celebrate our granddaughters birthday. They have a play area for children which is quite secure. The food and service was very good.

The staff here are second to none - friendly, professional, efficient - all in equal measures The roasted garlic and bread is a must - go and try it.

Attended a family wedding here and everything was so perfect. Staff were amazing, food totally first class.... hats off to the chef. ..and the venue itself was faultless. A fabulous time made all the better by this fantastic pub and its staff. Thank you 😊

I have been here a few times now. Lovely restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly and polite. You can always sit outside in the sunshine, which is lovely. I would definitely recommend this place

Great food and drink 🍻... friendly staff....look forward to seeing you soon

Absolutely terrible didn't serve us bc we are teenagers

Lovely garden and play area for the children. Staff were more than helpful and very friendly. Food was good, if a little expensive! Had a lovely time and would most certainly return.

Wonderful food and great atmosphere. Slight issue with lost food order, but the manager was very understanding and kindly compensated us for this.

We stumbled on this little gem after going for a random drive. Service is great. We sat in the sun trapped garden. Lovely food. I mean really lovely. Will plan to visit again for sure.

We stopped by & asked for coffee in the garden & ended by staying for lunch. The garden is lovely & the play area suited my granddaughter of 20 mnths but would be good for older too. The child menu was good as was the adult one. A very happy unplanned couple of hours.

Wonderful food! Friendly staff. They have a lovely garden with a play area for the children. I'm never disappointed with our visits there.

Lovely period building, exposed beams, original flooring, and a gorgeous garden. Food was delicious.

Absolutely amazing food and staff. Went on a week day, can not fault anything. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was outstanding. We will be going back

Been a regular for some years, last visit somewhat put off returning given the slightly over zealous male bar manager. Shame

Excellent food and service and lovely surroundings

The duck confit was crispy and tender at once. Fantastic flavours! Exquisite! Great service too!

Fantastic food and wonderful staff!

Came here previously with some friends and loved it. However the second time we came back it was very disappointing and over priced. We sat down, then we got asked to move because the lady was worried about the 2 year old having her head knocked. I then ended up moving most of the cutlery over to the table we moved to. We didn’t get offered a drink for around 15 minutes of being seated or given menus or asked, if we wanted a starter. I then had to collect our own menus from the till. (According to manager this didn’t happen, not sure why I would make this up). Lady serving us was friendly enough and staff were too. According to manager there were two people on hand upstairs. There was one lady. Everytime I looked round she was cleaning a table. However we then had items missing on our roasts, no check backs. We had to ask about where our missing food was. We asked for horse radish. One of the waitresses tried to spoon horse radish onto our plate as they were running out. The manager who I spoke to was incredibly rude after I had emailed into say about my experience. Which i have only ever done once in my life. He also said he had tried to ring me but apparently it didn’t go through I had to email again a week later. After receiving the email I had written. He said was confused by what had happened said and it didn’t match up to what his staff had said. Apparently I was wrong about what had happened and that we received our drinks within 4 minutes of being there. Interesting as I had to find someone to ask for some drinks after 15 minutes. So not sure what table received drinks within that time. Apparently I was also wrong about my events of what happened as well. We had two people turn up late which I informed the pub of straight away when I got there. I did have to change an order which properly was not ideal for the pub. The manager then tried to make out that this was the reason for lack of vegetables and missing Yorkshire. He then asked me what I would like to happened and would get back to me and didn’t. If you can’t take on feedback then is there a solution? Manager then tried to tell me that they are struggling at the moment money wise. Which everyone is why we choose to support this pub again. However to spend £145 on a roast and recommend it to friends to then be told you are not correct, his staff are correct and what you have informed him off is wrong. Very poor management and service. Wouldn’t normally write something this long, or spend time doing it, but could not believe the rudeness of the manger. Please look at all my other reviews I have written in the past 3-4 years to see I have never left one like this.

Great eating here at this interesting and historical pub. Sited in the charming village of Chipstead. There is a great atmosphere, friendly staff and a good choice of food. Pretty village to explore after eating.

It never fails. First rate every time.

Went here after a hike in Otford. Had a lovely Sunday roast: the beef was tender, roast potatoes and veggies were cooked perfectly, we were given lots of gravy, and the chocolate and hazelnut tart for dessert was delicious. Definitely recommend!

Lovely place with delicious squid fries , great place for watching matches

Nice pub in the Chevening village. We just took a drink there, but we will try the food in the future and will let know how it is.

The sunday roast tasted good but the savoy cabbage on the plate let it down - I thought it could've been elevated by being cooked in butter/shredded to add more flavour, rather than being steamed and in one large bland piece. Our food also took about 45 minutes to arrive which was a bit disappointing. I was impressed by the size of the gravy boats - huge!

Service was slow and no time for coffee after meal before being moved from the table won't be going back in a hurry

Delicious Sunday lunch, we loved the gravy boat - you can never have enough gravy!

Lovely pub, lovely food & a few cask ales or Meantime larger on tap plus a good wine list. We hadn't visited it before but was made to feel very welcome. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

Lovely pub that specialises in great food and service. Nice bar, open fire and casual dinning tables downstairs. Further dinning space upstairs including a little private dinning room. The food was superb, staff were friendly and provided great service and pub has great character. Highly recommend.

Great food good service happy staff and good beer

it was amazing friendly staff a little expensive but it was well worth it

What a lovely pub, we had a fabulous meal here last night! Great to see you Ben, thanks for coming over to say hello!

Nothing that can be faulted, a really great meal with fantastic service.

The tastiest, most fulfilling Sunday roast we have had in a long time. The starters and desserts were also delicious. Make sure you book ahead it’s worth it!

We ate with great pleasure. Elegant atmosphere and presentation

Great food and fantastic garden

Lovely Country Pub.. Just popped in for a Drink before my Brother and went for our Sunday roast. Hope to come back for a meal soon.

Found this pub by accident when looking for somewhere else. Glad we did. The food was great as was the service and some very nice local ale

The food was a delicious and the menu really interesting, but I think we suffered from a case of expectations vs reality. The vibe of the pub is traditional and cosy with a fire place and cute dogs, but the menu didn't quite match up to the hearty pub meal we were hoping for. It aligned more with a refined British restaurant, smaller portions and slightly over priced. Having said all that, the food we did eat was very tasty, special mention to the braised leek dish, which was entirely vegan, but very creamy. The staff were also very attentive and the decor with dark wooden beams was lovely.

Excellent food service wine and beer

No other star rating would be a fair reflection! Went here today after a Christening and the waiters and waitresses dealt with our party and the (many) kids present very well indeed. Food was of a very good standard and served en masse and piping hot, drinks were offered and empties removed promptly. Kids were fed first, high chairs were available and staff were very patient with everyone. Sorry for the food strewn all over the floor! A lovely playground outside makes this a perfect spot for a family meal / event. Thanks all 👍🎈❤️

Very friendly, nice table, lovely staff, local beers but a somewhat unusual menu.

Beautiful, romantic, cosy pub with good food and excellent service

Very good Sunday lunch. Food was excellent and the staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming despite being very busy. The only downside is that parking is very limited so expect to walk to the pub having parked on the High Street.

I had read the food was good. and it was sooooooo good. Lovely little place. You will not be disappointed. Oh and the team are just delightful. Thanks guys for a cracking little lunch. 😋😋😋🤫🤫

Always great roasts and lovely staff.

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

Incredible food and service. They were wonderful with my 2 year old. Absolutely love it.

Highly recommend as a superb wedding venue! Staff extremely friendly and food is superb! Made it unforgettable experience.

It’s a nice pub, and perhaps is better thought of as a place to eat. Been there twice now with good efficient service. There’s a nice small inside space but outside is best. Lots of space, parasols and heaters. Occasionally some headlights from the parallel parking lot intrude but not much. Food is good though won’t blow you away. The usuals have enough to make them unique (the burger especially). The parking lot is small, tight and the small entrance can also be a challenge. Drive if you have to but get there early. The drinks menu is a bit light on the draught side, wine and Prosecco won’t be a problem though.

More gastro than pub but bags of character and friendly atmoshere.

Great food, good atmosphere, service was fast for starters but dinner came slow."

Lovely setting and the food was brilliant!! Our server was very friendly and helpful when we weren’t sure what to order. Highly recommend lunch here and a walk around the lake afterwards.

A great dog-friendly with on site parking and an outdoor area. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. They looked after us incredibly well, and our dog was made to feel at home. I would definitely go again.

Fabulous dinner at the George & Dragon. Lovely village setting and a very attractive pub inside. Really warm greeting as we arrived at the Bar and the experience continued on a high level throughout our evening. Nice sofa seat with our pre dinner drinks before we sat at our table. Service throughout was very warm and attentive. Satay chicken starters were beautifully prepared and tasty. Hake and Risotto main courses were both excellent and we followed that with cheese & biscuits and coffee. A delicious meal , beautifully cooked , presented and served. Such a lovely evening. We will return. Highly recommended. Thanks G & D .

First visit to the George and Dragon for a belated Father's Day lunch. Beautiful, characterful pub with a lovely outside space. Really well put together menu executed with skill by the kitchen team. Service was welcoming, friendly and polite. 5/5 will definitely be back.
