The Bricklayers Arms in Sevenoaks

Great beer and food was good, sadly we had to wait for our meal

Great food, reasonably priced and lovely views from the benches over the lake

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.

We had a lunch with friends and the food was good.

Very nice food, meet our daughter there on the way back from a mini break , she sails in the yaught club. Food was very good, good prices , staff friendly. Great views from front of pub..

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.

Great food and excellent service

A good venue for a get together

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 😉

Quaint village pub, friendly staff, good value and great view.

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!

Great pub for a nice pint. Has my favourite pork scratching too.

Super friendly pub with great selection of beer and huge menu. Lovely place.

Very nice and a good position opposite a lake by

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.

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely lake.

Just had a great meal, pie of the day (steak and mushroom) followed by the cheese board. What huge portions, great taste and value! Great find! Also a good selection of gluten free dishes.

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.

Very cool place with friendly waitresess :) and the Viewegh on the Lake... thisnis a must stop :) I had an Ale (didn't ask which one, but I.asked for hers favourite) and it is delicious. It was 2,65£

Absolutely faultless. Service was prompt and friendly, food served quickly and portions enormous. Fish and pie definitely recommended. Ensure you come hungry!

A nice night out for my friends' birthday.Very helpful friendly staff.Food very nice,We will go back.

Great local pub , warm atmosphere

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.

Great atmosphere and really good food.

Lovely food in a pub with great atmosphere. It's worth booking. Locally sourced food and ales. Really friendly staff. Made many visits to this cracking pub!

Called in and had a nice lunch. I had the fish and chips and my wife had the beef bourguignon, we were very impressed both with the food and the value for money.

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.

The pies and steak where fantastic, the 2 girls who served us were friendly and efficient, the drinks were very good. Food was good value,

Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Great grub..

Great atmosphere..not a vast menu...what's there is great.

Staff in a world of their own Drinks took forever Yorkshire puddings looked like someone had taken a blow torch to them asked for one to be changed got another but no better Food ok but asked for a burger instead of roast but couldnt oblige said only food for Sunday menu had been ordered wonder what they did on Monday if someone asked for a burger ? Very disappointed as this used to be the best place to eat

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.

Easily the best pub food I have ever had. The steak and ale pie was nothing short of fantastic.

Excellent food served by very friendly staff. Location next lake perfect to walk of great lunch

Obviously very popular with the older generation. Lovely setting . Standard pub food. Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely couple of drinks on Monday afternoon. Definitely be back, menu looks great

It's a lovely pub and restaurant. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely visit this pub again

Excellent service by Mel Really tasty food

Lovely lunch. Good food reasonably priced plus attentive service. Shame not more outside space. Loved the Lemon sole. Will be back!

Nice pub with lovely food. There's so garden seating as you might have expected from the pictures and the kitchen closed at 8:30 instead of 9. Staff are attentive and friendly.

Met with a large group of friends, service was good considering how many there were at the table. BBQ chicken burger was large and tasty- tiny bit dry but still good.

A find on the internet to break up our journey home. What a little gem of a pub! Great service, amazing food and catered for 15 with dietary needs with no fuss. We want to return!

Excellent meal and lovely Harvey's Sussex best from the barrel.

Very good food, friendly staff and decent value for money on plate sizes

Fantastic food, drink and service with a beautiful view of the lake.

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!

Very friendly bar staff , lunch was delicious

Good food and service. Easy parking opposite. Recommended

Really lovely pub. Food and service amazing. Will definitely go again.

Super food and great ale. Friendly staff. You have to book for food! Say no more...

Always excellent food, really friendly staff.

Good pub with a nice fire and a great quiz night on Tuesdays!

We’ve been here a few times, we love it!

Service a bit slow but they were very busy. Food was very good.

The Harvey's beer was great, the steak and kidney pie even better! Service was friendly but it did take a long time to produce the food.

Great food and beers. Staff were really friendly

Such a warm, cosy pub. Great staff and customer service, delicious warming pub food

Friendly welcoming staff. Great beer and food. What more could you want

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.

A tasty lunch. Great atmosphere.

Great lunch and beer, very busy, great staff.

Nice local pub with reasonable food and prices.

Harvey's 😊and great fish and chips today.

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 👌

Best Fish & Chips of my UK visit!

Tasty food, friendly staff. Sitting out on the grass overlooking the lake. Gorgeous.

Amazing staff and excellent food in a lovely setting

Excellent.The first time l had ever been in the pub was following a family funeral & the man running the pub gave us lots of free food.It was totally unexpected l have never been treated so kindly in all my years of visiting pubs.l would like to add the Ladies toilets are sparkling clean and well fitted out

Whats happened to this pub, staff didnt care. Both meals were terrible quality, warmed up pre cooked food that was inedible. Never had this experience from this pub before

My favourite pub! Has everything going for it and the staff all work well and hard

Okish food, price food quality disproportionate.

Looked excellent and what a spot it's I'm with the lake close by across the green. Harvey's Sussex Ales is a great attraction. Looking forward to a longer/fuller visit which should include sampling their food.

Friendly pub with good Harvey's ale and good food.

Very disappointed very hot stuffy no windows open in and out in under one hour. Food tasteless. Used to be good has there been a change. Will not go back.

The food was delicious, the place clean , the decor charming, the service fab!"

Awful food, frozen fish fingers not even best quality in a sandwich costing over £10!!! Would expect freshly mage coujons for that price. Burnt chips not even home made. Even the couple next to us who were regulars said the place had gone down hill. Definitely wont go again. Staff not even bothered.

A very good Evening menu !?.And the Service is Impeccable!?.Well worth visiting for a drink or a lunch or Dinner .

Great traditional pub with good food and service.

Great little country pub. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon meal.

Great place to go in the countryside. Friendly staff, fine beers, beautiful setting.

A bit disappointed. Lovely country pub excellent location, parking an issue.View over green and lake amazing. Meeting friends for lunch we found service a bit hit and miss. Fish cake a little over cooked had to ask for the skinny fries but fat chips arrived, no explanation. Young lady wasn't sure what soft drinks they had, obviously new. Apart from above a nice lunchtime.

Brilliant, food service and surroundings, highly recommend 👌

Always a good friendly atmosphere and pleasant helpful staff. Love going there.

Would certainly recommend The Bricklayers Arms for food and/or drinks as it is a beautiful little pub. Food was tasty and well presented, service was quick and personable, facilities were clean and well maintained.

A good old English pub with decent beer.

Great food every time I go. Very friendly staff, really nice atmosphere.

Country pub experience 30 mins from Bromley. Good beer, nice staff looks out onto village green and lake.

Nice friendly place. Bit expensive for a northerner but nice. Arrived too late for food but they made us a portion of chips

Amazing food and great selection of craft beers!

Beautiful place over looking the lake wonderful food and service

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.

Lovely fish pie lovely location lovely staff

Popular, so busy gastro pub. Menu caters for special diets, and chef can adapt as needed. We had moules, fish pie, fish & chips, salmon en croute. All perfectly cooked and presented. Good selection of real ales to complement.

A lovely village pub that is at the heart of the community.

Great location opposite Chipstead Lakes. Parking is on the road. The green is wonderful and you can take your drinks over from the Bricklayers Arms. Reasonably priced drinks and food. Great for a family picnic or just a brief stroll...

Beautiful location and very nice selection of ales and beers. Visit highly recommended.

Service very slow today. Food okay though not great. Beer bit flat, maybe near bottom of barrel? No atmosphere back bar near kitchen.
