Rose and Crown in Sevenoaks

Tony and Jack arranged my Aunt's wake. We couldn't have asked for more. From initial enquiry right though to the end of the day nothing was too much. Catered for all dietary requests and the food was first class and plentiful. Thank you from all the family

A real 'Proper Pub'! We often end up here after a dog walk. There are some great walks around Halstead and this pub is a fantastic place to finish. A great selection of well kept beers and who can beat an accompanying packet of scampi fries?! Thanks - we'll be back again soon. (Such a shame Robbie had to close his shop - we miss buying his lovely eggs on our visit).

Wonderful cosy environment, excellent food with huge portions and all served by charming and helpful staff - especially the bar lady. The perfect pub lunch for my husband, sister and myself.

Super welcoming, excellent seevice & delicious food. Lovely lady works there, a real asset to the pub. We'll def visit again

On a quite miserable walk from Shoreham weather wise, some comfort was needed. Came across this pub by chance and how delighted we were to find such a welcoming from management and locals. Ales pulled at their very best with a good choice of food and sandwiches to accompany. I can only give 10 out of 10 for this pub as I would need to travel 25 miles to visit and taste the sandwich's and beer again . Will do thou for sure. Best to all in 2023

Handled a pre-booked small after funeral wake party in the most caring and friendly way even allowing the organiser to provide own food. Excellent range of cask ales was most appropriate for the afternoon. Very accommodating, caring and friendly venue.

Great buffet, small outside hall, sufficient size for a small family gathering. Food laid out nicely.Will be back..

If you’re looking for a friendly, welcoming place to have a tasty, generous lunch from a wide menu, then you can’t go wrong if you choose the Rose and Crown. Our other lunch venue didn’t work out as planned and we decided to dash to this pub instead... and we’re very glad we did. Some things happen for reasons! I never write reviews but feel that as we had such a lovely lunch here, I really ought to write this recommendation. Thank you!

A group of us stopped here for lunch. Service was quick and friendly, with drinks soon on the way and the food not far behind.

Came here for a Sunday roast. Food amazing especially the beef. Wonderful service from the lady Elaine very attentive and talkative. Helpful with knowledge as I have just moved here. Great place

We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Also value for money. The waitress explained everything before we ordered. Our only complaint was lack of car parking. But would visit again

We've been going to the Rose and Crown for over 6 years now and the service and food are great. They have a great kids menu too! The garden is great for the kids to run around in.

Great atmosphere Excellent food Good menu Fast service Lovely ambiance Clean tables and immaculate toilets

We visited for lunch on my mother’s birthday and the staff were very welcoming. Beautiful old building with cosy bars. The food was beautiful cooked and the portions are very generous. We will definitely return.

Called in here as part of a walk in the area. The pub is, quite rightly, listed in the CAMRA good beer guide and has been for many years. It serves 6 very well kept real ales, we tried the Mighty Oak, 3 piers and cellarhead beers all were excellently kept. The establishment also serves very reasonably priced food including sandwiches and main dishes. The serving staff were attentive and friendly. All that you can ask for in a pub.

Our walking group booked Sunday lunch here, we was welcomed by a very friendly staff the meal was excellent and they could not do enough for us. Even though they were very busy in the main bars.

Had a great lunch and pleasant afternoon in this friendly and welcoming pub, three courses with wine coffee and cheese all food piping hot good sized portions and extra roast potatoes (thank you) nothing was too much trouble.Nice selection of Ales (6). Nice private room for us to use also

I revisited this establishment this year on a Sunny Sunday Afternoon. It happened to have entertainment in the garden on this particular Sunday ( An excellent Duo).Burgers or Hot Dogs were on offer with help yourself sides. Both very tasty & good value.Attentive Landlord & Staff were once again all a credit to this lovely Pub. I just wish I lived nearer!!

My sister and I are natives of Halstead - indeed she still lives there and frequents this pub. My father used to frequent this pub for many years, in preference to the one just down the road. On the walls there are many interesting photographs of many of the village's sporting teams and primary school pupils - I am in one such photograph at the age of 7.I took my sister to this pub for lunch. We sat outside in a well shaded spot. There was a good selection of food on offer and we chose the ploughman's - her's with sausages, and mine with cheese. Alas they got my request for no lettuce mixed up with my sister's meal but this we rectified by simply swapping the sausage and cheese. Evidently the sausages were non-plastic and very tasty (but I'll bet not as good as Bert Baker's, the village butcher of long, long ago) as was the mature Cheddar cheese. There was an incredible variety of pickles and salad. The whole meals were excellent value for money. A shame my second requested glass of water was not delivered to the table.

Today I had another visit to this wonderful pub. We got there as it opened and by the time we finished our meal it was full of repeat customers. This is testament to the great food and hospitality. Elaine as usual welcomed us as old friends. This time we both had the Rose and Crown burger. A huge burger with real chips, onion rings,mushrooms and a side salad. I had intended to take a picture of my meal but it looked so appetising I completely forgot. Everything is freshly cooked and very reasonably priced. Although the eating area is quite small it does give a great atmosphere. In better weather there is the garden where you can eat in pretty surroundings. Well worth a visit.

Started making visits to this pub to eat and have always found it the most friendly place with very welcoming staff especially the landlady. Nothing is too much trouble here. The menu is standard choices for a pub but absolutely amazing value and very well cooked and presented. Fairly small inside but it also boasts a fantastic garden with plenty of seating.

I wanted to say a hidden gem but somebody got there first. This is a true village pub of the kind which are sadly disappearing fast. We went here for a mother's day meal and it was a delight. The food was excellent - nothing fancy, just good pub grub but what really stood out was the excellent service which was friendly and efficient. Will definitely return before too long.

Came here with the whole family and I think overall the landlady made it for me. She's a proper Peggy Mitchel (but better looking and less cockney) and really made us feel welcome. Food was nice, nothing out of the ordinary but pleasant.

Had a couple of pre lunch pints of Copperhead. One of the many quality real ales available. Really well kept beer that’s so enjoyable.

Went to this lovely pub for a wedding reception. I had a great day the food was great and the beer and the atmosphere was even better they have a great bunch of locals I would definitely recommend for any occasion.

We have been here twice with family and friends. Excellent value for money, very nice place with an outdoors bar and garden, and brilliant customer service.

I have been to this lovely pub many times and for different occasions. Quaint, with a lovely atmosphere. Staff get to know you and welcome you as an old friend.

Sunday roast (£9.50) was as good as ever - proper meat hand carved with roast potatoes and all the trimmings. Normal menu available as well and if you visit during the week the lunchtime over 50 menu is great value but with somewhat limited choice.

We went in for lunch and the pub is dog friendly. In fact the staff are very friendly and are genuinely pleased to see you and welcome you.

While out for a walk my wife suggested we eat out and as I know the area I suggested the Rose & Crown. We had not booked but although they can get busy we were able to order food. There is a good choice and the food was cooked well and portions were very generous even on the over 50's fixed price menu. The stilton and broccoli soup and the beef and beer pie left little room for desert but we both managed it just! There is always a good selection of ales which change on a regular basis and this visit proved no exception. If you want a good filling meal, the chance to try some good beer and get good value for money this pub is hard to beat.

I like this Pub so much that I visited three times in one week! Ist visit to try the beer ( it was perfick). 2nd visit to try the over 50s menu ( large portions by my standards of great grub & superb value). 3rd visit for a Roast Sunday Lunch with the Wife, who also raved about it! On all three visits the Staff & Landlord were so welcoming & helpful I didn't believe that some were employees rather than being the owners !!

Lovely countryside pub. Went there for a Sunday lunch and really enjoyed it. Friendly staff and good food. I will go back again.

A group of us went here to for a meal, very welcoming, nice atmosphere and the food was plenty and well presented. We hall had a great evening.

This is a great pub tucked away on Otford lane in the Village of Halstead, Kent. The pub is attractive from the outside with a traditional flint façade. Inside, there are two bars. The front bar is popular with locals, with a dart board, TV etc. The side bar to the right is more cosy and suitable for casual dining (there is also nice dedicated barn for group dining or small events). The landlord and staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is classic pub grub, well presented, consistently good and at a great price. The pub is CAMRA rated and there is always a selection of six really good real ales to choose from, and these change regularly. To the rear you've got a roomy secluded beer garden if the weather is fair. Our favourite place to go for a drink and a chat with friends. Very good.

We've been coming to this pub for a good few years.
