Used to be a decent pub. Fine for a beer. Food pretty ropey. Family live nearby so stop in from time to time. Recent visit food took an hour and was sub par.

I took my 92 year old mother there on her actual birthday. My mum picked this pub to quietly celebrate her birthday, (she could have chosen any pub in Sevenoaks). Ordered her a small bottle of Prosecco and she opened 6 birthday cards. The restaurant was empty (not busy). Call me old fashioned but I would have thought The Manageress/older barmaid ? who served us might have gone out of her way and smiled or even wished my mother, possibly engaged in a little small talk but it was too much to hope for. Beats me why one would go into the hospitality business if they are not hospitable or social. Hey ho maybe she just had a bad day or has other prejudices who knows. ( the younger staffer was lovely sadly was not serving us )

Living 50+ miles away it's not a regular haunt but this is my third visit to meet family and have a meal together and would highly recommend this for good food, a good selection of drinks and staff are top notch.

Absolutely brilliant place to eat. Opposite the lake. Food was really good and portions are very generous. Definitely recommended by us. I understand they have an open 🎤 night. Not sure what night though.

It was quite expensive for a pub like this. Staff was really nice but service was quite average. Nothing special about the atmosphere of the pub but it has a good view

On arrival they didn't have a record of my booking despite my replying to text message as asked. Service was ok nothing outstanding. Not worth nine pound odd service charge. Table was situated in a cosy corner but next to a wall that vibrated when washing machine in next room spun. Lol. The food was really lovely. Not complaining just being observant.

This was a brilliant stay at Bricklayers Arms: very accommodating staff, friendly, attentive and close. The food is absolutely perfect: I had honey & mustard glazed ham, my wife had whole camembert. Very, very tasty and perfectly prepared. You feel really comfortable here. And to the staff: a trip to Hamburg to HSV in the “Volkspark” is worth it 😉

Taken by our friends for lunch. Portions on the "small side" Two of the meals served on a cracked wooden board! (Trendy but unhygienic!) Food quality fairly acceptable. Price absurdly high, and with their (so called discretionary!) service charge of 10% - very poor value. Not many other diners noted! Why? Hope they don`t take us again!

The pub is set in a small village with a great view that looks over Chipstead Lake. You are able to sit on the green opposite the pub but only allow plastic cups which is understandable. I did not have food on this occasion so cannot comment on it. The service was not great the bartender was more interested in talking to his friends. There was another person doing some sort of cash up, and also showed no interest in assisting us. When we got served the beer was cold crisp and you can tell they clean their lines. Good pub to visit but hope they resolve the service.

A really nice traditional pub with lovely staff. I went there with a friend and although the kitchen was about to close they hung on for us and produced an excellent roast dinner. It's a Harveys pub, so the beer is good too. The area is quite picturesque despite the faint sound of traffic from the M25 hidden behind trees in the distance. The only problem you might have is parking, there's no pub carpark so it has to be on the narrow lane outside. We were lucky and found spaces right beside the pub, I'm not sure it would have been so easy if we'd arrived when it was busier. All in all an excellent little pub, we enjoyed it a lot.

The only saving grace for this pub is the outstanding quality of a good Harveys Pint and the changing hands of many managers in the past that have always been very friendly. But one of the many issues that has always stood out in this pub, is the employment of young in-experienced staff. It is difficult to enjoy a meal in the dinning room area as your order always either comes incomplete or not atall. Just seems to be a lack of communication between the front of house staff and the kitchen, which is a real shame. The newest manager is a wierd and wonderful character as he seems very eager to take away your dessert plate from your table. And they're a bit mean with the custard. I was asked 3 times in the space of an hour by him and his member of staff if I had finished with it yet. Other irritating moments arose throughout the night, which had me not even finishing my beer and choosing to storm out of the establishement as the manger was pestering and really getting under my skin.

Absolutely brilliant food, atmosphere and service. I just popped in for a quick lunch, as I was working in a school down the road. I ended up with the most amazing sausage sandwich, and made it back to school on time. Win, win! The staff were so friendly, quick, and the food was amazing.

Went today for the first time, trying to support locally, Sunday roast. On arrival no one appeared to be in charge, no greetings or welcome. Young staff serving, basically require training in customer service, lacking experience. Table was not set correctly on arrival. Food very average, run out of beef. Will not be in a hurry to return, shame.

Looked on Google maps for somewhere near the M25/A21 junction and Bricklayers came up so called in on the off chance of a table. Arrived about 18:30 and all but one table was reserved so we were very lucky. We were seated in the restaurant which had a cosy atmosphere. Our waiter (sorry didn’t get his name but he reminded us of Tom Daley!) was very friendly and suitably attentive. Food was very nice, and I was a particularly pleased they offered smaller plates of most main courses for smaller appetites. Very glad we found it for a stop off on way to Hastings from Silverstone!

Iam not sure why the ratings are so good for this place. Perhaps they were having an off day but our food was shocking. Fish and chips ,the fish was over cooked and had small amount of fish in the onion rings were rock hard, and my portion of chips must of been the end of bag a plate full of little over cooked chips. Garlic cheese bread soggy and greasy. Not once were we asked if the food was OK. And for a Friday afternoon the place was empty if they serve food like this iam not surprised.very poor won't be returning any time soon.

Visited for the first time. Pie of the day was delicious, fresh local meat, huge portions- reminded me of pies in Devon! Mash and chips were good too. Staff were friendly. Parking was on the road, its a small road which I can imagine at peak times would be busy, but there were no parking restrictions. Inside was a little small not a huge amount of seating and the outdoor seating was only 4 tables (overlooking the road and then the lake), but overall a decent reasonably priced country pub with seemingly good quality food. Worth a visit, would recommend opting for their local food!

Come on guys! Usually good food here but the veggie burger today was appalling. Hoping it was a mistake and they forgot the fillings! Veggie burger was a DRY bun and a Patty with no sauces or salsas! Just an embarrassingly small singular lettuce leaf and a singular slice of a small tomato. I wish I took a photo. So dry! So plain! So empty! Rest of food in restaurant looked good, so please please improve this dish! Add some onion, maybe even caramelised! Add more lettuce! Add a spicy tomato salsa or relish! Add a mushroom or some cheese! or some pickles!! Please lord add Somthing! Because as it stands, it’s not worth the cost. Staff are friendly, service was good 👌

We came here for the Sunday roast, and had the roast pork and roast chicken. Both dishes were great and generous in portion. We shared an apple crumble as dessert. The apple crumble was ok, but it came with a lumpy custard which was the only disappointment we had. Generally, a good place for Sunday roast.

We dined at the Old Bank and were absolutely blown away by not only the incredible food but also, the inviting atmosphere. Each dish presented meticulous attention to flavour, impressive presentation and delicate textures, showcasing the chefs' innovative approach to British cuisine. We would also recommend the wine flight to accompany the tasting menu - these carefully curated selections of wines accompany each dish, enhancing every course with perfectly complementary flavours! Thank you and see you again soon! :)
