The Castle Hotel Restaurant in Sevenoaks

Had high tea here on a Saturday afternoon - cakes, scones and tea very good - friendly service but could be more attentive as we were tucked away in a function room, a bit pricey at £35 for tea, sandwiches and cake

Waitresses were lovely. Efficient and friendly.x

Just visiting some friends for a drink in the evening a very nice pub great atmosphere good choice of beers and very friendly and helpful staff. I return for longer next time to have a pint and a meal.

Stayed for a night whilst visiting family. Quirky quant pretty hotel small room but perfectly formed.. had everything you could possibly need. Breakfast was lovely and staff very friendly Would stay again if in the area ☺️

Every time i come here the food is fantastic. So well prepared and presented, big portions and tasty. The staff are attentive and friendly. Highly recommend :-)

Great food and friendly atmosphere

Love the Castle Hotel. Great food, good service.They sell the best ploughman’s lunch ever.

This is our second time having a meal here . First time last year was really good . Both, service and food . This year , service was a completely let down . We haven’t felt the welcome that we felt last year . Tables were dirty and back yard not cleaned at all . Food was delicious , however in the kids menu £10 and just 1 sausage . No one asked us if we were enjoying our meal.

What warm en friendly service from Lauren and Noami. Lovely place to sit down and enjoy the best burger in the UK and the lip smacking delightful Eyensford Mess.

Situated in a little village. Very nice hotel and pub. Breakfast is very well presented and tasty. Great for a night out if your in the area

Service was a bit 'nonchalant. VERY pricey.'

I didn't stay here but got a drink in the bar and sat in the beautiful garden to drink it. Expensive for drinks but a very lovely place

I admit, I did not raise a fuss at the time - we were very hungry having just been on a long walk and just wanted to eat and rest. Perhaps the restaurant would have rectified or compensated in some way, so that's on me. However, this is as we found it. Drinks Eye wateringly expensive. £9 for a medium wine in a water stained glass. Beer was also priced as though we were in central London. Food Ploughman's sandwich - well filled and a good flavour, but the bread could have been used to exfoliate with. I don't understand how it was deemed acceptable to serve a sandwich in bread which was so dry. It's a shame because at one point earlier in the week when the bread was sliced, I'm sure it would have been delicious. The salad served on the side had a flavourless dressing and the tomatoes had little to no flavour at all. "The Best Ploughman's in Kent" - a very bold claim for what was ultimately a very weird ploughmans. Served on a tree stump, scattered with trail mix, inexplicably. An entire apple on the plate. One slice of bread (the same aforementioned dry, stale affair). Mango chutney for some reason, and an odd selection of pickles. The Castle Burger was reasonable, as were the pork belly bites. Service, unfortunately, did not come with a smile, though they were quick enough. The music was dire - evidently someone in charge thought so to, as they kept skipping songs. Perhaps if the volume was turned down a bit, it would have been less noticable. I have been here before and had a decent dinner with a friend, but this was a let down. With a price tag of £80 for three drinks, one starter, two mains and a sandwich, it felt a bit of a sting.

Great hotel in a very nice village. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms clean, light and plenty of space in them. Nice space at the back for beer garden. Drinks very expensive! £16 for 2 medium wines. Breakfast was nice, full English but it took 35mins from ordering to arriving at the table, and no offer of toast for the table while waiting. Very tasty fresh big muffins. Plenty of parking at the back. Recommend staying if your in the area.

Had Sunday lunch here. Was in a room with over 30 other people and noise volume was so loud you could not hear partner speak to you. Food was flooded with gravy and beef was almost raw. Will not be coming here again.

Food is AMAZING! beautifully presented and delicious. Came on a Sunday and it was very busy but a lovely atmosphere and staff were very friendly. We had the mixed medium roast and the meat was so tasty and tender. Veg was full of flavour. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back

Great food, good vibes with the music, and exceptional service from our waitress Naomi. Would definitely recommend if in the area.

What a pretty restaurant and bar, with a great ambience and good service. Felt that it was on the pricey side for a pub and opted for the more reasonably priced risotto which was tasty and a healthy portion

Absolute divine midweek lunch with delicious food (as always) great service and a delightful jug of pimms. We ordered the bread to share, steak, lamb, the lemon tart and the scones. Everything was beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed. This pub is about 15 mins from where we live but would class it as our local and the one we love to eat at the most. We chose to eat inside, but looking forward to perhaps sitting outside in the sunshine next time. Thanks to all!

Cool atmosphere, very tasty food

Great food and service would highly recommend

We didn't stay at hotel, only had lunch in the pub. Lovely food and really nice atmosphere.

This is our local pub and we come here regularly. Menu changes seasonally and all of the food is home cooked (our only local pub not to serve frozen chips!). We enjoyed lamb rump - perfectly cooked with salsa verde- and the steak. The accompanying peppercorn sauce was delicious. The welcome is warm and friendly and the staff are excellent. They genuinely care about your experience. There’s also Singha on draft so what’s not to love! Don’t miss the Sunday roasts (if you can get a table)…. They’re the best!

Quaint restaurant in a picturesque village. The decor is so pretty and loved the quirkiness of the ladies toilet! The bar/restaurant was quite busy but the young lady that served us was very friendly and attentive. We shared a seafood platter between the 2 of us and it was delicious. Glad we stumbled across this place. Would definitely come back.

From the minute we arrived the staff made us feel totally welcome and friendly the room we were allocated was spacious warm and clean and cleaned daily over our 3 night stay The food in the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast tremendous

We went there for food with friends. The staff was very helpful and polite very good very good value for money food was lovely and they come very big portions

Really good meal choice. Food excellent . Service very efficient and friendly. Great ambience . Really enjoyed our evening and all said we would be back!

Wouldn't go there again. Sunday roast for £21 and was nothing to write home about. Couldnt tell if the lamb was actually lamb. Was a group booking of 10. The music was really loud and could not hear ourselves speak and had to ask them 4 times to turn it down. Far from impressed, sorry

Another fantastic meal at the castle, great new menu, good flavours and perfectly cooked. Great service from Laura as always.

I’ve eaten in plenty of places like this before, a pub that has an ever so slightly pretentious menu, a captive audience and over priced food. The staff were all very pleasant, the place is nice enough but the food is just very average I’m afraid. The Korean Bibimbap bowl was basically rice with a few small pieces of pork belly. For £22. I’d bulk at paying that in Central London but in Eynsford? Come on. The crab ravioli was very poor, hardly any flavour, pasta too thick and a sauce that felt like it was out of a tin. This was £25. To put this in context - Luca, an Italian restaurant in Clerkenwell charges £26 for a rabbit tagliatelle. Luca is Michelin starred.

First time here and the staff and food were excellent! Great atmosphere, freshly cooked Sunday Roast lunch that was cooked to perfection. Very good size portions and tasted delicious. The gravy was amazing. Desserts were very good. Thank you to Luke and Bella who looked after us brilliantly. We will be back very soon. Jason & Jane Francis

Quaint and clean, friendly staff and amazing surroundings.

Top top bar/restaurant, great food, amazing staff. Have a look at the decor it's stunning

Had a nice meal with the family

We came here with our customer for some lunch. The service from the staff was fantastic and the food was incredible. Such a large choice on the menu plus specials, it was quite difficult to choose as everything sounded so nice! Large portions and very tasty. All five of us were really impressed. Compliments to the chef. We will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Absolutely fabulous. Cost warm welcoming. Second to none service. Staff are a credit to the castle hotel. Food choice is fabulous. Clean rest rooms.

We visited as a family of three for Mother’s Day. We both opted for the mixed roast in a medium and large size. We ordered a child roast for our 20 month old. It took a little while for someone to take our drinks order. There was plenty of staff even with it being busy it didn’t need to take that long. A member of staff realised, hurried over and took our drinks and food order. To be fair, the food didn’t take long to arrive. However, for £22 I wouldn’t say that the portion was anywhere near the price (large). I couldn’t really see the difference to my wife’s medium portion. Unfortunately the roast potatoes were like small rocks. I’m all for crispy roast potatoes but considering the fork or knife couldn’t get into them it was ridiculous. I didn’t really get the huge chunks of beetroot either on a Sunday roast. The parsnips were burnt to within an inch of their life. The carrots were barely worth putting on the plate as they were chopped to about 1.5cm each. I understand it is a busy Sunday service but the roast was very poor in my opinion. We have been here a few years ago for a Sunday roast which we thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately on this occasion it was a huge let down. I can’t see us visiting again anytime soon. The price is definitely down to its location.

Pleasant family gathering with excellent service and food. Beth our waitress was very attentive and couldn’t do more to help. Highly recommended.

Very good service and excellent food. Beth our server was very good , would highly recommend , we visited on a Monday lunch time .

We had a lovely cosy spot by the open fire. It was so relaxing. The food was tasty and good size portions. The waitress was very pleasant and made everything easy.

Passing through i stop by here on occasion greeted by lovely host tegan who is very accommodating. This sunday i stopped by for a drink and sunday lunch. I had a mixed meat roast which was cooked to perfection by the chef reece. Highly recommend!! Regan the waitress made sure we had everything we needed very helpful , cannot reccomend this place enough. Good atnosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. Will be going back for sure.

First time visiting the Castle, definitely not the last! What a lovely evening we had celebrating valentines. I had the valentines special menu beef which was the best beef I’ve ever tasted. Cooked to perfection. My husband had the chicken tikka burger which he said was so good and there wasn’t a crumb left. I then had the white chocolate and pistachio desert from the special menu which was so nice. Drinks were just as good, I highly recommend the strawberry pornstar martini and the port. The service was excellent, very attentive staff and always with a smile especially Bella and Helen. Helen even lent her glasses to my husband as he forgot his so he could read the menu. Haha

Thank you to Reece and Tyler for the amazing food. Amazing as always, really enjoyed it. And thank you to Naomi and Tegan for the the great service

Althoug[h the place was crowded, the staff were actively busy attending to the customers. Bella took care of our needs. The food was delicious and well represented the Sunday roast experience.

Haven't stayed here, but my baby shower was hosted here and it was amazing. Everyone commented on how nice the afternoon was and there was so much food. The staff were very attentive and couldn't do more for us. Would definitely come back for dinner. Thank you for making the whole experience amazing!

Went for Sunday lunch in a family group. Excellent roast dinners. Friendly and helpful staff, right from the point where I rang to book. Nice vibe ... families with kids and dogs. Decent beer selection.

Came here off the back of a few recommendations and pleased we followed it up. We were seated at our table and drinks were served promptly - these were nicely chilled. We ordered a vegan meze platter to start which was nicely presented and just right for six of us. Our roast dinners came promptly and were all excellent. I especially liked the gravy which was just the right consistency and full of flavour. There was a good range of vegetables which had a nice crunch, accompanied by tasty cauliflower cheese with a hint of mustard seed. Wasn’t overly keen on the beetroot with its earthy flavours (atleast with the gammon - probably better paired with beef) and think swede or red cabbage would have worked better here. Puddings all very nice but a tad expensive I think. Table had a few issues (ie was wobbly and a sticky surface). Staff all very friendly and attentive, though. Overall good value Sunday roasts within a delightful setting which was beautifully decorated. Firmly in my top 10 list and will return. Rating: 7.5/10

Lovely atmosphere! We loved the decorations. The food was tasty and very good portion size. The staff was kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend it

Booked the Library Room for a family birthday celebration, a great choice. The food was excellent with a good range from the menu, and all dietary requirements were happily accommodated by the team at the Castle. The service throughout the night was brilliant and the team never stopped, making it a great night for all of us. Little details like offering plates and a knife for the birthday cake we brought were much appreciated. All in all, thoroughly recommended.

Always good food and a good atmosphere, service attentive. Great village spot. Nice open fire! Located well for the train station.

Absolutely fantastic food and great service. The staff were lovely! If you come here try the pie!! Great choice of drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Food was absolutely amazing and the service was impeccable.I came here with a work colleague and we had a wonderful time

Roast dinner is amazing! We always come to The Castle for our Sunday lunch, specifically for their roast dinners. The best we have had in Kent!

Great ambience, especially for the festive season! Our waitress, Helen, was really lovely and accommodating. We will come again!

The dining experience was truly exceptional, featuring delicious cuisine served by a welcoming, charming, and attractive team of staff.

What can I say a lovely day all round food and atmosphere was great and we had a lovely waitress Emily who could not do enough for us. Will definitely be back 🥂🎄🎄

Great service and great food. Never disappoints. Our waitress was wonderful. We sat in the bar area by the door on the low tables.

This was the best place for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Awesome staff/chef and great accommodations! Can’t wait to come back again!

I went with a large group. The service was really great. The food was very tasty! And the dessert was a must try.

Awesome service provided by Laura and the food is 5 star. Quaint area to enjoy time with friends. Would recommend a must if you are visiting Eynsford. The sticky toffee pudding is sinfully delicious.

Excellent food and service! I loved the presentation and the taste. I had the beef and potatoes. My friends had the sticky toffee pudding and raves about it! I tried the chocolate brownie with ice cream. It was decadent!

We had a fabulous time visiting with friends and eating delightful food! The service was great and made for a relaxing time. I ordered the chicken kieve and it was delicious! I completed the meal with the sticky toffee pudding and it was amazing!!

Superb food and service, great atmosphere and wonderful staff would highly recommend , very friendly and knowledgeable

Best roast I've ever had! Every component was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. We will be back!

Great pub, lovely atmosphere, so lucky to have this as my local. Pint and a portion of chips at the castle is always the best remedy for a busy week!

Lovely ambience and decor. Really pretty place to meet friends and catch up over great food. Service is always good. One of my go to places. Always happy to suggest going there with friends or family.

We visited twice whilst in the area as the food was great and the staff were lovely. Also helped that it was dog friendly.

Such a a great atmosphere and my first time for a Sunday roast and it did not disappoint. Great portion size and served piping hot and delicious! I highly recommend. If you’re not from the area then I suggest a nice walk in lullingstone country...

This is my absolute favourite roast in the area and a really generous portion with all the trimmings. With that said, the rest of the menu is also fab and the staff are lovely too. Highly recommended.

Came in last minute without a reservation, was immediately greeted by a friendly member of staff. When we were seated our waitress Bella was very knowledgeable and recommended great food, I had the haddock of the specials board. Would definetly recommend if you're in the...

We had a very good roast dinner here - they offer options for regular, large or senior portions. The large was huge! Really friendly staff, Lauren was great. Will return!

Great food and nice decor. We have the steak pie and the bangers and mash which were both very tasty and good portion sizes. Really friendly waitress too, will definitely go back!

A great pub, with attentive, friendly staff and a wide selection of meals. Not cheap, but fresh and tasty. Our eight-year-old grandson said the mixed vegan meze he shared with his brothers was the best pub lunch he'd had!

Not a great first time experience, food is average and over priced, service wasn’t consistent either, quality of food does not justify the price

Great find for a spot of lunch, friendly staff good food and very good if you need Gluten Free. Will Definitely go back, only observation the music was a tad loud for me.

Fantastic food, good wine options and a great environment to spend an evening in. Waiting staff were fantastic, especially Laura. Thank you.

Always love eating at The Castle- food was lovely, staff welcoming and attentive and always accommodating to needs E.g space for a pram. I have eaten here many times with various people (friends, family, partner) and will continue to visit in the future. Best pub...
