The Crown in Sevenoaks

A very warm welcome from all of the staff. They could not have been more helpful. Very good food. Great options for my vegetarian guests. Great value too!

This is a lovely country pub, tucked away down a lane. Great food and hospitality. Will definitely be visiting again.

We came across this lovely little pub tucked away in a country lane. It was very welcoming, very nice land lady. Would recommend, the Quiche, my husband had ham,eggs and chips. My Son had scampi and chips with mushy peas. Nice size portions and appropriately priced. Will definitely being visit this lovely little pub again.

Shoreham pub is the best pub to be served in friendly atmosphere

Delicious Sunday roast! Service also excellent. Always love coming here. Highly recommend.

Didn't eat there but a very good ramblers rest with a nice beer garden

Fantastic traditional village pub. Very warm welcome from the staff, lovely home-cooked food and great drinks selection. We stopped in whilst on a walk for some lunch and are very glad we found such a great village pub.

Lovely friendly lady running The Crown, only had the baguette but was tasty and filling.

Absolutely amazing place to go. Had a great lunch there on father's day. Wonderful staff. The food is amazing I had the fried cod fillet so good! Definitely coming back

We were welcomed without a booking and both had the fish and chips. Fish was beautifully cooked with crispy batter. The ladies serving on the day were all delightful, friendly and chatty which made it a memorable visit for us. Would come back for the people and the food!

Lovely lunch for four today. Food was excellent, service great, friendly staff. Will be back !

What a lovely pub, genuinely friendly

Had a much needed pint on a long hike , I asked for a baguette to take away and it was the tastiest one I ever bought , the atmosphere was really special when I was there , although only a fleeting visit , it seemed they could not do enough for you.

Lovely traditional village pub, fantastic, loved it...

Found the food delicious had the sundried tomato with mature cheddar quiche with new potatoes & salad. Nothing too fancy but great taste, our empty plates were the best testimony for food enjoyed. Lovely landlady & great young men serving. Proper pub rather than clinical environment of so many others

A very nice and friendly pub. Visited at the weekend with a group of fellow walkers and we were made to feel very welcome. I would have preferred a better choice of keg beers. There was only one on tap. That said, I will certainly return.

We underestimated the time our walk would take, so were quite late. I was concerned because there were 11 hungry people in our party (including 6 teenagers), and I was expecting to have provided an overly long walk, followed by no food. The Crown saved us. They made us feel really welcome, served great food, and within minutes we had all bedded in for the duration. Thanks to all at The Crown for saving my skin.

Thank you, super friendly and food described as excellent and superb by members of our walking group. Booked Sunday lunch.

Wonderful classic style pub! Tidy and neat, loved the radio sounds, generous portion of roast meals and lovely staff. Don't miss out on the home made desserts! We really enjoyed our evening, warm and cosi as we were planning it to be

Sarah and her team did a brilliant job catering for our walking group of 25 ramblers. We'd placed an advanced food order a few days before which enabled the staff to be ready for us. We were all well fed and fuelled up for the 2nd half of our day walk. The food was delicious, service friendly and the pub itself has a charming character to it.

Olde worlde pub. Friendly service. Atmospheric low ceilings, walls covered in ‘funny sayings’… Food was prompt but unimaginative. I had the leg of lamb which as a bit overcooked with slightly limp boiled veg. A friend had the scampi and enjoyed it.

Always a warm welcome and excellent food

Staff obviously too distracted to aknowkedge the people waiting for service. Will not be returning.

food was lovely, bar staff very helpful and friendly. Very nice welcoming atmosphere. Will come more often

Lovely open fire. Querky decorating that keeps it interesting. It feels a bit like a locals only pub in that its not obvious where the menu is but by far the best value in Shoreham which is a beautiful village to visit with great walks. Food is decent not groundbreaking but you will get good value and generous portions.

Really enjoyed lunch here before a family funeral at the nearby Bluebells crematorium, delicious baguettes served quickly and cheerfully, very atmospheric old building with a lively buzz even on a Monday in November. Ticked all the boxes

Visited the Crown for Sunday lunch. Arrived about 220pm. Good selection of food on the blackboards. I had the roast beef which came with your shire pudding, vegetables and a gravy boat. My partner had the cheese and onion quiche plus chips and peas. Both good portions. I had a pint of the Harvey’s Sussex and then a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc. I then had the chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and my partner the apple pie and custard again good portion sizes. Very friendly staff and good quick service. Recommended.

Took a stroll with the wife through Shoreham the other day & went into this lovely pub for something to eat. Unfortunately, the food had finished, but the owner was such a lovely charming woman. She told us to ring next time to book a table, which I'll be doing in the near future, probably on a Sunday for some lunch!!! Well, it's worth a visit if you're in the area.

Food is excellent, recommend you book in advance, staff can't make you anymore welcome

Lovely food with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. One of the best for a Sunday lunch.

Really good pub grub. Was the perfect pit stop from our walk from lullingston and back. Service and staff were excellent too.

First visit but won't be last. Good range on menu. All freshly cooked with quick efficient service. Great welcoming staff. Nice place to visit. Parking a bit of a problem, though you could be lucky and find a space in the car park!!

Nice pub garden, shame that there was a group of people having a racist/xenophobic conversation at the bar when going in to order.

We had pre-booked as part of a seniors group. We paid a deposit and was asked to order a few weeks beforehand from the menu we were sent. My husband and I ordered a nut roast Sunday lunch. Apparently, although we weren’t told, the nut roast wasn’t available but they would give us a vegetarian alternative. We were given a vegetable flan which consisted of courgettes, peppers and other veg in a tomato sauce. Not something I would have ordered if I had been aware. With chips? No served with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and vegetables - and gravy! Really not nice. When we questioned it, we were told it was the only vegetarian option that day. Apparently the roast beef dinners others had were not too good with the beef being rather tough. To add insult to injury, we tried to work out the costs from the website, to find the meals were about 50% higher than prices quoted on there. We had to pay £15 each for our horrible flan Sunday roast meal. Really not acceptable. We were told they can’t guarantee what is on the menu from day to day. So why ask for a pre-order? Such a shame as it is a lovely pub and they were very helpful and caring when one of our party was poorly. Please whoever us in charge at the Crown, sort your website out and try to have more consistency in your menu if you are going to ask for pre-orders.

Came here after looking at their website.....which we now know needs updating! We were looking forward to a turkey roast for £10, but there wasn't any poultry at all available, just beef, pork or lamb. And roast dinners were £17.50! One of us doesn't eat red meat, so that was a disappointment, and out of the other mains choices, there was only one suitable - scampi and chips for £15.00 (instead of the £9.00 on the website). Our meals were nice though, but average pub grub. Large glass of wine a bit on the pricey side too at £8.50. Be aware that parking may be an issue, even though there is a car park, but we were lucky to find a space in the narrow road as the car park was full. Don't know where we would have parked otherwise! Shoreham Village can get pretty busy! A nice pub, but I don't think we'll visit again.

The food is very very average. Don't expect anything other than the usual pub food, but not as well prepared us most places. Shoreham is a lovely place but The Crown is a disapointment.

Nice country pub. I had a pint and a side of chips, my only comment is the side of chips was small for the price, must have worked out about 20p per chip!

Stopped here a few times whilst on my cycle routes. Lovely little friendly pub with good beer. Always device with a smile. Great pit stop

Lovely little hidden gem of a pub

Have been to the crown a few times now. Love going on a Sunday. Me mum says it's the best roast dinner ever !!! Sarah is so welcoming and all the bar staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble.. Would definitely recommend. .

Positives: cosy atmosphere, dog friendly, lovely garden space, clean toilet facilities Negatives: £3.50 for one fizzy drink, waited 10 minutes to be served at the bar, customers with no shoes on

Lovely little country pub and nice garden can't comment on the food as we did not eat but we may go back and try it.

We met family here for a meal. Food was nice. Open fire going. Dog friendly.

The MOST delicious hot chocolate I ever tasted! Seriously, I don't know what they do but they did it right.

Food looked good (we didn't actually eat there). Lovely friendly staff.

My nephew bumped his head outside the pub, and they were so kind and helpful, and gave us some frozen peas - thank you!

Love this cosy pub/restaurant. Always a friendly welcome, lovely food, nice homey atmosphere 😊

Perfect country pub. Beer was great and so was the food.

Lovely service for 2 tired walkers..food was great too.

Food, was delicious. Freshly prepared and catered for a variety of requests. It is also nestled in the village of Shoreham kent surrounded by lovely walks and interesting architecture.

As always, very good food and service. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Cracking little pub with lovely staff. £14 for a steak & ale pie lunch and £4.50 for a pint of Butcombe. Perfect place to finish a North Downs walk.

Always a lovely place to relax with family and friends. Warm welcomes are a standard and the food always delivers. Highly recommended

Lovely! Friendly service, upbeat and just the right amount of being there and not being there. Cute size. Prompt and tasty food. Nice vegan gf chilli, and all the other usual stuff too. I'll definitely be back. Car park was full... Be ready to find spots round the corner on busy days. It's better than it looks in the pictures.

Such a beautiful old England pub!! Very welcoming and service with a smile. We were lucky to have a sunny warm day so chose to sit in their lovely garden. We had a very nice delicious sandwich which we enjoyed very much. The pub also welcomes dogs which was an added bonus!!! They also have a great choice of hot meals. We can't wait to go back! Congratulations to The Crown, we will highly recommend you to our friends and family. Ali & Dave

Had a birthday lunch for 14 adults and 4 children. We were looked after brilliantly and had tasty home cooked roasts. Really nice cosy bar inside, very friendly staff and delicious Sussex ale

Great food and drink, really friendly staff, lovely little pub!

Lovely Sunday lunch after a 7 mile walk around the villages

Friendly good location and great food roast beef is lovely all freshly made and fresh produce. Staff great too 😊

Lovely little old pub with friendly staff. Food was nice, my daughters sausages and mash looked amazing with proper butchers sauasges. Overall a pleasant visit.

Lovely little traditional pub. Not artificially modernised and sanitizer like so many. As such it has more character. The staff were delightfully friendly and whilst that meant service may have been a little less efficient, it felt relaxed rather than slow. The food was excellent and felt home made - in a good way! Highly recommended as such. Again, not presented to win rosettes, but still looked good on the plate and tasted even better. I look forward to finding an excuse to go back! 😀

Nice local country pub, friendly service. Only one negative for me was £6.20 for a pint of lager shandy, I would say that's expensive compared to my local. Nice feel and nice garden area.

Excellent beer. Friendly service. Staff full of useful local knowledge.

What a little hidden gem. We came across it when all of us (including 3 dogs) needed a half way pit stop on our long hot country walk. Staff super friendly and genuine. Pub felt like a real country pub - and the food was scrumptious and exceeded our expectations. 4 great meals! Thank you. And the dogsbwere thankful for the water bowls and chance to recover in the garden.

I ordered a decaff coffee; they had run out, but someone quickly popped to the shop to get some! What incredible service!!

A perfect family run local pub with a beautiful garden with a wide selection of gins and real ales as well as delicious food at value for money prices this is a must on a visit to shoreham

Really poor service leave you waiting ages and don't even acknowledge your there then say they can't take any more food orders when their not even very busy

Lovely family run pub with nice food menu. Relaxing and nutritious

Came for three Sunday roast and one fish and chips, both were great and will be definitely returning for the fish and chips! The service was great and heard it’s under new management which explains why as the whole vibe has changed for the better! Overall 10/10.

Nice pub, only one in the village, which has two cafes. Good food, beer garden.

Family run team super welcoming and accommodating to me and my colleagues following a walk from otford. Food was great (and speedy). Will go again. Thank you!

Fantastic little pub just away from the Darenth River. Lovely beer garden

Brilliant food and service, dog friendly and a lovely walk around the vineyard's.

Unfortunately not a great experience for me, my wife, and a friend. We stopped here for a light lunch and drinks, on a walk. The young lady behind the bar served our drinks and was friendly. We then ordered our light lunch, Tuna Baguette, Sausage & Onion Baguette and a Fish finger sandwich on granary bread. The food came out, we were sitting in the garden, we got a Tuna sandwich on granary/brown bread, and fish finger sandwich on white bread. I called the lady back, and said the Tuna should have been in a Baguette, my friend then said to me dont worry. I said to the lady it should have been in a baguette but he said he will eat it. No comment from the member of staff, she went off and came back with my sausage and onion, in a granary/ brown sandwich!!. I asked did they not have any Baguettes, she said no they all got taken at the recent Duck race, which I believe was on the 5th May? No apology just walked off!! 10 minutes later, 3 or 4 people sat at a table opposite, they ordered, and guess what, the Ducks obviously returned the baguettes, as at least 2 of the party had sausage baguettes!! I can see from other reviews this is out of character from their experiences, but clearly our experience with the service today was pretty awful and embarrassing for the staff and manager when they read this. We didn't stay for a second drink, and left.

Visited here for a birthday lunch last Saturday 30/4/22, food excellent, ale 1st Class. Staff sang happy birthday and they surprised me with a cake! Would highly recommend, lovely family atmosphere. 5 stars.

A lovely lunch outside in a very pleasant garden today. The staff are very nice and very efficient. We had a tasty salmon + asparagus quiche with plenty of new potatoes + a good sized salad with 1000 island dressing. All very fresh and I will definitely be returning.

Good food but a little expensive, tables are a bit of a mishmash and could benefit from updating.

We'd pre-booked a table for two at 1 pm on Sunday 17th April. The service was by four young girls who were very polite but the resulting food was a huge let-down. Presumably, we received frozen Vegetables and Yorkshires that were burnt, rubbery and cooked to death. One of us had the Turkey Crown which was dry and had a peculiar taste and I had the Lamb which was okay but nothing spectacular. Ironically we were sat near a notice saying "If you're happy with the service then tell everyone, if not then let us know"! We informed two of the waitresses that we were unhappy with the food but there was no management response and we were charged the full amount. Needless to say that we will not be returning and as per the sign, we will be telling everyone.

Popped in today for lunch after a lovely 3 hour walk around the area. This pub gets just about everything right.There was a warm and friendly welcome from the very pleasant lady behind the bar.Two pints of perfect Harveys Bitter, and beautifully served pub food. This is how it should be done! Thank you! Colin.

Welcoming Inn serving good food and ale etc. Ideal pit stop on a countryside walk. Currently the only open Inn in the town.

Great find after a walk. We were sat in a sunny private room full of interesting publications and artifacts. The food was perfect pub fare. Great fish and chips, and a sublime jam sponge.

Stopped by this pub with my wife on a Saturday lunchtime. I had a pint of Harvey's ale and my wife had a glass of the house red wine. The Harvey's was excellent and my wife said her red wine was also excellent and of top quality. All staff were also excellent. I highly recommend ten out of ten.

Accomodated us at short notice on Sunday, table for two, fantastic staff as always and Sunday Roast as it should be...well cooked and well presented, great pub and superb location for a walk and Sunday relax - many thanks as always

I have visited The Crown a number of times in the last 3 years - with friends both to have a drink inside or in the garden and to have an evening meal. Have also ordered delicious takeaway meals which were offered during lockdown. These were fantastic, both ample in amount, very tasty and very reasonably priced. Also have rung the pub whilst on a walk over the hills to order a sandwich and coffee in, for example 40 mins time - always promptly served. It is a pub with character and characters!!! One is always made welcome.

A little gem! Wonderful Roast dDinner. Will definitely return.

Best pub I've been to in ages, great beer, great food and great atmosphere. Made welcome from the moment you enter. Lovely walks with dogs surrounding the pub and allowed in, treat available for you 4 legged friends.5*

Great food, atmosphere and value. Lovely friendy staff.

Good old English pub great staff open fire keep up the good work from an ex Pat now living in Melbourne

Great dog friendly pub. Please bring a change of shoes if you are hiking. Great pub food and friendly staff. Lots of space and a great old building. Lunch served from 12 @ the weekend.

Pleasant country pub. Great menu full of traditional fare. Alitttle bit expensive but the ambiance is worth the extra. Good garden

Lovely home cooked family lunch for 7 indoors. Well done Crown team!!

We had a family gathering for Sunday Luncheon here. What can I say but one word….. AMAZING……! I have been involved in the food and hospitality industry for nearly 30 years and have eaten in places all over the world, I can say that it was the best Sunday Luncheon I have ever had! It was simple (forget the frills, drizzle of this, jus of that….. no pretension here) instead it was the home cooked food you never had so good! I had breaded Brie to start and that was tasty. My main was traditional roast beef (they even made sure to ask how I wanted it) and it came out perfect, not too thick sliced just right and succulent. Plenty of good fresh home cooked vegetables to go round. For pudding I had treacle sponge with custard (yes custard not some watery thing called crème anglaise!) I cannot fault the meal or value for money. I must also mention the whole family (from the daughter taking my booking, to mum, dad and son looking after us). I must also mention Naimh and her twin sisters who gave us service with a smile and looked after our every needs with quickness and efficiency (even though the place was really busy busy). They even managed to put up with my humour!!!!! In honesty I can say I have found a little bolt hole in a beautiful spot that I will use regularly when in the area or passing through…! In a way I want to keep it to myself but that would be unfair, so my advice is if you are in that area seek out the Crown and you will love it as much as myself and my family did.

The first time I have been to Shoreham.and the Grown lovely food and friendly staff

Very good Sunday lunch. Roast beef and potatoes, separate vegetables, Yorkshire pudding. Option for cheesy cauliflower.

Food not worth the money we paid , Especially when I found a great long hair in my food. Told the staff didn't seem bothered, never go back there again.

Nice pub in a quite area. Ideal for stopping when out on a long cycle ride. Reasonable food prices and friendly staff.

Super Sunday Roasts, Super Service, Super Sweets, Super Company. A lovely day, relaxing and chatting, had by all Thank You, The Crown

We only had drinks, didn't eat so can't comment on the food. Friendly staff, little village location. Could do with larger beer selection but overall nice.

Fantastic service, great beer and food.

Please add this venue to your to do list. Look at the menu cos its varied to suit all taste buds. Local produce is used. Delicious sausages! Sarah and her team offer absolutely excellent customer. Warm friendly welcome. Beautiful relaxing garden.
