The Bucks Head in Sevenoaks

A really lovely Sunday lunch - great food and drinks in the warm and friendly atmosphere of a proper independent family pub. So relaxing!! Thank you so much to all for such a great time - and great service - at the Bucks Head!!

We visited on Sunday 6th October for lunch. Can’t fault the service. We were tended by very friendly young waitress. We both had the roast sirloin of beef. Food arrived hot and with my extra requested jug of gravy. Personally I judge all roasts by the gravy but I found it a bit lacking. That’s our only comment. The flavour of the beef was remarkable. You could taste it had been smoked. Lovely atmosphere and we would travel there again. Thank you.

Always receive a a warm welcome and tasty food. Walking party thoroughly enjoyed the wraps and sandwiches. which surprisingly are not on the website?

Great local pub! Service is great, people are fun.

Excellent location to stop for food while hiking in Knole. Great food (smash burger and fish and chips) and ale and extremely fresh apple crumble.

Best Sunday Roast in Kent, hands down. Staff are super warm and friendly. Food is delicious. Must visit place if you’re around Sevenoaks area.

Great food and excellent service - happily recommend,

Nice fish and chips. Very nice homemade cake for dessert also

A very nice little busy pub in a nice quite location. Service was very friendly and efficient. Worth booking a table if you want Sunday lunch. Good value for money with a great selection of beers on tap. Our Sunday lunch food was brought out super quickly, very good portion size with good mix of wholesome veg. Tasty. Overall good value for money in a lovely peaceful setting.

Great Sunday roast and good ales on tap. The staff were very friendly and it has a lovely welcoming atmosphere with nice traditional pub asthetic. The crispy chicken bao buns were excellent as a starter.

I can honestly say we had the best roast dinner today at the Bucks Head that we have ever had out. It was absolutely delicious and very large. The service was quick, efficient and friendly. We ate in the garden which was very pretty. The pub is in the most beautiful position with lovely walks available from the entrance. It is very well positioned for visits to Ightham Mote, Knole Park, Hever Castle and many other local gems. I can't recommend highly enough.

What a fantastic pub. Great staff, amazing food and just so welcoming. This is how a pub should be run and we all loved it. The smashed burger was delicious and fish and chips marvellous choice too. Well done to everyone involved and can’t wait to return. Thank you

We enjoyed a lovely meal yesterday lunch time, however no children’s menu was the reason that we wouldn’t return. It’s a great place to go to avoid kids, so a benefit for many.

What a great little pub/restaurant this is. Friendly, attentive owners and staff, great tasty food, dog friendly and reasonably priced. A real gem…

It was first time I have been here a lovely meal! Lovely staff and service

Lovely food and great atmosphere! Thank you !

OMG! Both the food and service are fantastic. Yes it's the fourth time we have been there to eat, I would say it gets better every time we go there, but it's been wonderful each time. We will be back again very soon. A

Went for Fathers Day lovely looking pub , staff friendly and polite. Had beef Sunday roast meat wasn’t the best to be honest service seemed a bit rushed would have liked a bit more customer care . Men’s toilet out of order so had to use another toilet seat broken and bin over flowing with dirty tissue.

A proper country pub with a good selection of drink.

Absolutely fantastic! They cook the steak to perfection, and as requested! Fantastic consideration for dietary allergies.

I did not eat food but the whole place was welcoming and made me feel safe.

It's a great spot between hikes (or at the end)—a lovely pub with a good selection of drinks. Please note: they do not serve food between 4 and 6 p.m on Sunday and stop serving food at 2:30 Delicious Sunday Roast and good portion!

Always a pleasure. James & Hope have transformed the Bucks Head into a super community pub with excellent food.

We walked past this beautiful country pub yesterday, early on in our knole-> ightam mote circular walk, It looked so lovely that we came back around at the end of the walk. It was the perfect spot for our group. Looks over a lovely village green, garden to rear. Two of us are vegan and the food was delicious-great quality and presentation and great service. I was surprised how quiet it was for a Saturday afternoon, such a great find we will for sure be back!

Very friendly pub, typical and generous cuisine, the chicken pie is delicious. Very welcoming and smiling staff!

Really nice atmosphere and food came really quick 😃😃 Also dog friendly your dog can have a lunch 🐶🐶

We had a fantastic meal here. The food and service was brilliant. Highly recommended. Only a picture of the starters and we couldn’t wait to eat the main course ☺️

Food excellent .The staff were very polite and efficient. Highly recommend. I would suggest you ask for children's menu if you do not have a large appetite .

Met here with 4 friends from all over the country for Sunday lunch. Excellent food and service.

We popped in for a well deserved cheeky beer and glass of wine after a long walk. It was busy with a lovely atmostphere. We sat at the bar and ordered a couple of starters. The drinks and food were fabulous. We were served by Sara who was professional and attentive. A real credit to the pub.

So lucky to have this gem of a pub on our doorstep. Would highly recommend. Consistently excellent. Always a warm welcome. Amazing service and fantastic food. The burger is the best in the area. So is the roast, can’t beat. Simply a great pub, great food, run by great people. If you’ve not been get yourself down there! Simply awesome.

Cracking pub with a great atmosphere, excellent food and warm service from friendly people. Perfect after trudging the quagmire of Knoll Park’s lesser known paths.

Best pub we've been to in the South East - honestly brilliant. Beautiful location (try the Knole > Ightham Mote circular if you're up to it), great atmosphere, excellent food. Have been twice and every meal we had was cracking. Smash burger is the best burger I've ever had at a pub, fish and chips great too. There are more refined dishes as well that are really well executed. Staff are just lovely too. It's everything a pub should be.

Nice food,pleasant staff & a selection of decent ales.

I have been to the Bucks Head many times the food, service and atmosphere is always great! Easily the best burger and pub food in Sevenoaks.

Lovely friendly pub serving excellent food. Very busy Sunday lunchtime but well managed. Reservation recommended. Very dog friendly too

Shepherd Neame pub with a good selection of real ales. Excellent roast dinner - pork, beef, chicken and veggie options with plenty of roast potatoes. Decent selection of starters. Service excellent. Very dog friendly. Easy walks to Knole Park nearby. Note - limited parking. Overall a very good choice for a Sunday lunch.

Excellent pub. The Sunday roasts looked excellent but I didn't go there for lunch hence not able to rate it.

Great experience, lovely staff, food was great, good range of beer on tap.

A fantastic pub. Great food, well kept cask ale, lovely atmosphere and fantastic service even on a busy Sunday serving Will definitely visit again Only warning is parking can be tricky!!!

Met for a meal with friends after a walking in knoll park Thoroughly recommend

Amazing traditional country pub with open fires, low beamed ceilings, really tasty food and cosy atmosphere. Perfect !

Company Christmas lunch at the Bucks Head was perfect! Great atmosphere, service and food. A fabulous experience.

Met up for (pre-booked) lunch with family ( party of 6), Friday lunchtime. A friendly & relaxed welcome, followed by excellent service, (always attentive but never in your face) with an excellent selection of courses. I must recommend the Game Pie - TO DIE FOR.....SERIOUSLY!! Also a good selection of beers, wines & spirits if you are not driving. Altogether a brilliant experience, although we live in the North of England this is a place we will return to the next time we visit - can highly recommend.

Warm & pleasant welcome and good service throughout. We were a group of friends getting together for a Christmas meal & had pre-ordered from their Christmas Menu Everyone seemed pleased with their food, 3 courses, except those that had Turkey Roast commented that the roast potatoes were very hard with some impossible to cut. Overall we enjoyed a nice evening with a warm ambience in The Pub, with attention paid to some particular needs of people in the Group. Will look forward to going back there again after Christmas. Thank you to all concerned.

We planned to walk in the park and have dinner here but rain stopped the walk however we decided to still go for lunch despite living 45 minutes away . We were not disappointed the roast dinner was delicious as were the deserts . The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere was very relaxed . We will definitely return .,

Our thanks to the team at the Bucks Head for a great lunch today. We were a walking group of 17 and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Highly recommended. Thanks again.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Good value for money too. Friendly staff, child friendly, perfect place for a family lunch.

Fantastic pub and lovely people who can’t do enough for you. We had the Christmas lunch menu and it was a feast. Food was delicious. Between us all we tried everything on the Christmas menu and the food was very tasty with generous portions. You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes - venison starter in particular was a highlight. Thank you Hope, James and team for looking after us so well.

Amazing roast, with lovely national trusts downs the road! Perfect for a wholesome Sunday!

The food we had for lunch was excellent. I had fish and chips and the fish was tasty, batter very light and the chips were homemade and excellent. The tartare sauce was also homemade and fresh tasting. My husband had venison sausage Tagine which he said was very good. For dessert we shared a sticky toffee pudding. We both commented that it is one of the best and lightest STPs we’ve had for a long long time. The service during lunch was excellent. The only negative was that the pub was cold and we had to keep our jackets on to eat lunch. The main log fire was lit but had only just got going and it seemed the logs were damp and did not throw out much heat. On a chilly November day it would have been good if the smaller log fire near the door had been lit as well. Overall our visit was a good experience.

I was expecting great things having read all the reviews but sadly we were not impressed with our Sunday roasts. Staff very charming and attentive and it was very busy for a Sunday afternoon. We started with baked Camembert. This came with 5 small pieces of bread. Albeit my Husband and I shared this so we only had 2 and half pieces of bread each. We still had lots of cheese left so asked for some more bread. They returned with 4 small pieces not toasted this time. To my shock we were charged £2.00 for the extra bread!! I opted for the Sirloin of Beef this came with 2 slim slices of beef, 1 carrot, 1 parsnip, swede, Yorkshire pudding and red cabbage. The roast potatoes tasted like they had been cooked early this morning and reheated for when are meal was served. The dinner was at best, warm and there was hardly any gravy on the plate. We requested some more and this was brought over straight away. Maybe we ate late at 3pm so it may well have been better if we had come along at 1-1.30pm. For the four of us, we were disappointed. We have had much better locally so sadly unsure as to whether we will return.

The best burger in Sevenoaks….heck, in Kent that I’ve ever had!!!! Absolute must try. Portions are great and price really good. If smash burgers tickle your fancy I strongly suggest trying this place!!!

We do love this pub. Warm, welcoming atmosphere. Good selection of beers and wine. Polite and efficient staff and great food. We were a party of 5 and had 3 fish and chips, a burger and a fish pie. All of us were delighted with our food, the fish and chips was great, accompanied by an excellent, homemade tartare sauce. Very good value for money too.

First visit and we were very impressed by the great service and amazing food. We will be back and would definitely recommend (as long as you keep it a secret!). The mushroom velouté starter was to die for.

Lovely food - Venison Ragu, Smash Cheeseburger and Cod Fillet were all excellent! Warm welcome, helpful staff, lovely pub. Thank you.

Delicious food and great service. Will definitely be returning!

Tasty cheese and bacon burger, freshly prepared. Homemade pies. Best pub food in the Sevenoaks local area. Booking recommended. Dog friendly, open fires.

Great pub with amazing food and friendly service.

Everything was perfect Justas & Mar was very kind. ***** of course

Love this country pub! Great food, service and ambience.

Came here after a long walk and had two burgers, fries, and beer, best pub burger we’ve had thus far in England. Hidden gem. Plenty of garden space in the back for our dog and even made him a little pup patty at our request. Friendly, charming, and delicious. Thanks Bucks Head!

Had dinner with friends on Friday evening. Really friendly and buzzing atmosphere. Steaks perfectly cooked and good wine selection. The transformation since the new landlords took over is amazing.

The Bucks Head is a beautiful pub, really friendly, attentive staff. We had the pulled pork bao bun and prawns to start. Full of flavour, so delicious and fresh. Followed by a roast chicken meal, roast beef and a child's roast chicken. The meat was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, the cauli cheese was to die for. We rarely eat a roast out but saw a couple of people tucking in to theirs as we arrived and they looked delicious, so we went for it. So glad we did! By far the best roast we've had in a LONG while, possibly ever! We loved the friendly atmosphere from both the staff and the locals, everyone was really pleasant. We will definitely be coming back and will be telling everyone about our amazing experience! Thank you!

Another great meal at the Bucks Head. Food consistently very good, friendly attentive staff and an authentic country pub feel, also dog friendly. Fully recommend.

Having completed a 7mile walk around the gorgeous countryside we ended up at the Bucks Head, so thought we'd see what they offered food wise. Their menu looked amazing. I can always tell how good a place might be food the number of items on the menu, the fewer, the better. Bucks Head had a short menu, with everyone of the items sounding mighty tasty. The lovely lady serving us suggested their award winning, Double Smash Cheeseburger and the Superfood Salad for my partner. I opted to add bacon to my meaty offering. The food arrived promptly and wow!! My burger was amazing. Super tasty, and the bacon, usually limp and undercooked, was crispy and tasty. The fries were super crispy and tasty as well. Probably one of the best burgers I'd had in a decade 😊. My partner's Salad was plentiful and she said it was super delish. So, in summary.....give this little gem of a country pub a go, the staff are super friendly and happy to advise on menu items. I can't fault this pub one bit

Booked a table, they got very busy. Parking can be tight, as people often park for local walks. Not much space in the pub, some street based parking. Lovely food, great staff and had a great Sunday lunch.

Only stopped off for drinks and snacks following a long Sunday walk. But really loved the friendly device, cheery atmosphere and the very dog friendly ethos. Excellent pint of Spitfire and a very good home made sausage roll. We will look to return for a longer visit.

Delicious food, great selection of beers. You rarely go wrong with a Shepherd Neame pub and this certainly was no exception! We ate outside in the garden and it was delightful. Great for dogs too, they even have a doggy menu!

Friendly staff, good spot for post One Tree walk roast. I don't have roasts often in pubs, this one was far better than most.

I’ve been coming to this pub for 18 years, I moved from north london to find a local. Its been an amazing journey with a great evolution. Loving James and Hope (and Nora) again taking this brilliant destination and local, with great changing menu delivered...

Delicious Sunday roast in a beautiful outdoor setting. Perfect spot to stop for lunch when doing the Mote to Knole walk

Our favourite place! Such amazing food and always such a fantastic choice on the menu. Staff are great and you are always made to feel so welcome! The landlord and landlady really make this pub and have done such great things!

Great beer and wine. Delicious camembert, good fish and chips, burgers, and streak. Fish cakes were OK- too much breading. Be sure to check bill as overcharge error on cost of steak. Good service.

This once great pub is now a shadow of its former self. No front of house presence since the excellent Linden left - this is also apparent in the appallingly kept ale, I reverted to drinking bottled ale. The food is OK but uninspired. This...

We live nearby but hadn't used the Bucks Head for some time. We had some Polish family members and wanted to show them a typical English Country Pub. We hit the nail on the head and were delighted by the friendly atmosphere and delicious meal,...

Popped in for an evening pint so can’t comment on the food but the pub itself is nice with a decent beer selection.

So disappointed with the food. I had a taco wrap with falafels. The salad garnish was old & dry, the tortilla chips tasted old & the taco wrap was like cardboard. Opened it up & eat a few mouthfuls of the falafel. My friend’s humous...

Nice location ,inside a bit drab,nice clean toilets.Served by a very professional and helpful waitress.There was a limited all-day menu ,A separate lunch menu would have been nice .Food was tasty, well presented, and reasonably priced .

Our food was beautiful mum had a beef roast beef melted in your mouth, j had burgers so good I had scampi all was delicious mum also had sticky toffee pudding she loved it had a lovely day definitely will be returning 😊

Had an amazing chicken Sunday roast. Food was superb & staff were friendly & welcoming.

Best Sunday roast, fantastic food and brilliant service. Will definitely be back! 👍

We were made to feel very welcome. We only had entrees but the were excellent,

We asked for local recommendations and this place was high on everyone’s list. We came on bank holiday Monday and we’re met by a very friendly staff. Sat by the fire we ordered drinks and were given a menu. It’s limited but all looked good....

Brilliant location after a walk in Knole. Good choice of food and places to sit outside.

Okay food, but dinky portions about sums it up.

Chicken and leek pie nice and crispy, nice gravy but was too runny. Black pudding croquettes were nice, the sauce was very good. Nice employees. Medium to high prices. Beautiful seating areas especially the garden at back of the pub.

Visited as part of a group of 7 on a Saturday evening and what a lovely pub this is in a beautiful setting. Staff were attentive and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Two of our group had visited before for food and raved...

Aaaamaaaazzziiinnnggggg!!! Discovered this little gem whilst doing the Ightam Mote to Knole park circular and now, we always stop here!!! I highly recommend this place!!

Really good Sunday roast. Lamb was superb!

Food was very good and service was relaxed and unhurried. Personally I would like a little more choice on the menu, but that's just me being subjective.

We have long visited the Bucks Head but have not been there much over the last few years. Today we returned for birthday celebration and we’re not disappointed. The food was delicious and by far the best pub roast we have had in a long...

Could not fault this pub at all. Excellent food and service. Good choice of beers. Had a mince beef and onion pie, which was really tasty. The calamari starter is probably the best I've had. Only tiny criticism was that the wine wasn't quite at...

Popped in on a Saturday lunchtime on a whim and we weren’t disappointed ! Lovely pub in a gorgeous setting with very friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful Mother’s Day lunch, the food was incredible and the service superb! The roast beef was perfectly cooked served pink and the roast potatoes and veggies were delicious. The gravy was so good and extra jugs of gravy were on the table. The vegetarian with...

This is the friendliest pub that I have ever visited in England. The staff and clientele are all so welcoming and lovely. James and Holly, the owners, are simply lovely people and the food is fabulous. The freshest and best fish and chips I’ve had here in England and their Sunday lunch roasts are a must. We, Annie and Bruce, are visiting from Australia and Mark from the US. We stayed in the area for two weeks, visiting the pub most nights and it never ceased to provide us with the warmest reception and enjoyment.

Nice pub, friendly staff and a nice fire for you to get warm

Great service and fantastic food!

Great for a Sunday roast (the vegan option was really tasty too) and love the open log fire.
