The Green Man Pub in Sevenoaks

The pub was busy but the food came out quite quickly, hit and fresh was delicious brilliant food brilliant service. Bar manager was very helpful and friendly very welcoming will deffo recommend and will be going back this week also excellent value for money oh my dayz!! 10/10

OMG trying to get in the carpark school 🏫 times why,why,why to have something to eat I was Asulted with someone picking up there children from school 🏫 they should have signs up customs only, never come here again

Visited last night for 60th birthday meal, due to numbers had to sit outside, pub was very busy and menu limited on some items, service was a bit erratic... The waiting team were however friendly and cheerful which made the difference in us having a great time. The food was tasty and arrived hot, at the end of the meal the chef came over and apologised in person which was a nice touch, he even reduced the bill, fantastic customer service. Will definitely be returning.

Just back from lunch at The Green Man Hodsoll Street, both our lunches were very tasty and staff very attentive.

Just don't bother. Pub looked grubby, old fashioned and uninviting. Considering we've just been released from lockdown it was very quiet for a Sat. night and now I know why...food was awful! Surely a qualified chef would not serve that microwave reheated rubbish. Food was burnt,lacked any finesse and barely edible. Looking at clientele, I'd say a few non discerning locals keep this place afloat. They need to up their game big time!

Had a nice pub meal in the garden a little cold for sitting outside but no choice at present food came hot and plentiful we both had the steak and ale pie which was full of meat. Proper pastry all around mash and tender stem broccoli on the side. Good service from young efficient friendly staff. All COVID rules in place.

Managed to get a table for an early supper. Pub was busy which is great and staff very attentive and great service .Lamb Kofta was excellent and Pie with mash also great. Beer excellent I shall be returning ! Thanks Paul

We visited on 25/04/2021 for a family meal to celebrate our daughters birthday, the staff and food were excellent. Although there was a cover over our table it was a bit cold but it did not mar the visit and the staff provided us with blankets to keep us warm. I will definitely return when we can dine inside, should the weather not be great outside.

My Partner first visited the Green Man about 18 months ago and tried to visit at least once every week as we were impressed with the food and the service. We went back today, along with her eldest for a Birthday Dinner and we were both glad to see that despite Covid the Pub is still there and so is the Food and the service. Now we've decided, at the very least, to Do Sunday Dinner as the Quality is excellent and so is the food

I went to the Green Man yesterday (Sunday) to collect a take away lunch, the food was fantastic, had turkey plus seven vegetables, the cauliflower cheese was delicious and all packed in recyclable materials at a good price, I couldn't recommend it any higher, Peter Box

Like this pub decor good and friendly atmosphere. The menu has plenty of choice but unfortunately my choice was disappointing. Haddock wrapped in pancetta was not well presented and fish small and dry, this dish was not good value in my opinion. Other dishes looked better. Drinks good price and coffee in cafeteria good value. Would come again but would not choose this dish based on today. More fish choice would be good. Overall a pleasant lunch before dreaded lock down and wanted to support and independent pub not a chain.

Really good drinks and service! Shame there wasn’t a beer garden out the back would have really added to the pub. Everything it did have was really good and worked well.

Ordered a Sunday roast and it was not worth the £15 - Yorkshire pub was flat as a pancake and everything else was mediocre, had better for cheaper else where

Recently visited this beautiful pub, lovely seating indoors and out. The food was ok, it wasn’t bad it wasn’t good. Service really great.

I had visited this pub when I was working at Brands Hatch in 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere! We visited after having a great day at Brands Hatch and the food on offer (despite the current situation) was amazing. I had the sausage and mash, and who'd thought rosemary in mash potato would go so well... All the food is locally sourced as is the guest ales. If you're in the area and hungry - give this place a whirl!!

Just had a really lovely family lunch at The Green Man in Hodsoll Street. . Food was excellent and staff lovely. Relaxed atmosphere and safe. Highly recommend.

Fantastic drink, food and atmosphere, service was second to none. Was served by Alex who was very helpful, funny and welcoming. great lad.

Popped in for the steak deal. We were not disappointed . Great steak and chips well cooked and a nice bottle of wine all for £30 . Thanks Stuart food was great

Arrived quite late on Friday evening to collect my husband who was drinking in there after work , Great atmosphere and the food looked great so we decided to stay there and order some , Food was ordered at the bar and arrived in good time , The Rump steak was delicious food was plenty full didnt have room for pudding :-)

This was our first visit after a recommendation from friends. We were very impressed with the service and food. The menu was varied and the steak deal that week was generous. Will definitely return soon.

We went on a Wednesday evening and it was fairly quiet but had a good atmosphere. The menu is not over large but plenty of choice. Mainly traditional pub food but more imaginative. All our food was excellent, especially the pie and the rump steak. Good value overall.

Fish sharing platter to start was great. Burger main not quite as good, but still nice. Good beer, nice atmosphere and easy parking. Service was excellent. Will definitely go again.

This is a friendly pub with excellent food. The Sundy lunch is very good but its wise to book, as it gets very busy. The pub has a large and pretty garden with seating and parasols which is lovely in summer. Well worth a visit.

We went there for dinner on Sunday evening which it seems is mainly roasts. From the moment we walked in we knew we were in for a special treat! The attitude of the staff was quite off hand and we were left standing wondering what was going on. We were eventually taken to our table. We ordered our food. When it arrived it was cold and old! The food had clearly been there all day and warmed in the microwave for a maximum of 5 seconds. You know it’s bad when no-one at any point asks if everything is ok. You are either amazing, arrogant or just don’t want to know how bad it was! Of course it was the latter. Even trying to get someone’s attention for service is a challenge - and they weren’t busy most of the tables were empty - with good reason!

A large group of us booked for a lunchtime meal, I have been here before but not for a while I am a Coeliac and need my meals to be Gluten free, at many eateries I feel like a lepper when I try to get basic food but I was made very welcome here and they modified a meal for me with no fuss at all and had some Gluten free puddings which is rare, often it is ice cream or nothing. Very good service as there were quite a few of us and very friendly staff, a very pretty location and homely pub well worth a visit.

When we visited on a Thursday evening it was very quiet with only a handful of people at the bar, and no tables occupied.We ordered a drink at the bar and told them we had booked a table. Without prompting we were asked if we wanted to set up a tab, and our table was pointed out to us.The menu was not large, but there was a varied choice.For starters we chose the Arancini, which was lovely, and the calamari, which was also very good. For our main course we both opted for the burger. This was possibly one of the best burgers I have ever eaten in a restaurant. You could tell it was homemade, and the flavours were amazing.The side of onion rings were also lovely!I’ve will definitely visit here again!

Really like it here and pleased it's local for us. Good to know somewhere like this is nearby. You never know when you might fancy a meal out... I have also held a few meet-ups in the past with old work colleagues as they have a nice round table there too.It's a comfortable place to be with nice, helpful staff and good food. (Fish and chips is great!.) They also do a small pudding and hot drink deal which we like at a reasonableprice.

We have visited several times in the past few weekends. Last Friday there was a band playing and the pub was packed and had a great atmosphere. I have visited Sunday lunchtime and everybody that works there are friendly and helps create enjoyable visits.

After a lengthy 1.5 days travelling between the UK and Belgium/France, the last thing I needed was encountering the rudest, most obnoxious man I have met in, unarguably, the last ten years of my life, who was working on a Eurotunnel train from Coquelles to Folkestone. I had never come across such rudeness, and it’s fair to say I had never verbally exploded, in rage, like that at anyone, for a very very long time.

Having just done a boot fair at nearby Swanley we decided to find somewhere on the way home for lunch, after a bit of research on tripadviser we decided on the Green man.

Lovely pub with great outdoor space including a secret garden, ample parking and plenty of space inside. A bright and airy place that serves good traditional food and a nice range of beverages. Definitely worth a visit, particularly for Sunday lunch!

took my mother to lunch here on wednesday, lovely pub and nice staff. the food was a mixed bag, my mother had fish and chips which she enjoyed, good portion, however i had a chicken and bacon caesar salad and it was possible the worst caeser salad i have ever eaten. this would not stop me going back as a lovely pub

I went there with five friends for lunch recently and we sat outside in the 'Secret Garden'. The young man who served us was extremely polite and helpful and the food was delicious.

Set in a little village in lovely surroundings we had an early lunch. Menu very varied but also a short menu with 2 courses and coffee/tea for £14. Food nicely cooked and presented, staff friendly, service just right, we thoroughly enjoyed it. More and more people arrived But still quiet so you could hear yourself speak. Will definitely remember this one.

We visited a couple of times for lunch in early summer, and we were made very welcome. Good pub food at a reasonable price with a well-kept pint of real ale in a beautiful English hamlet setting. Fair size carpark to the rear of the pub.

Had a lovely lunch before listening to my brother play the guitar in the secret garden. Portions of salads were large and some staff weren’t as friendly as they could have been.

Brilliant. Another gem of a classic pub in the heart of Kent. Staff are down to earth, the atmosphere is relaxed and social. The food is top draw for a pub setting. Ingredients are locally sourced; the dishes on the menu are up to date twists on the traditional. The salmon main is one of the most exciting meals I’ve eaten this year. It was so packed with ingredients, it would do well as a just a vegetarian dish.

Decided to try this pub as was just down the road from our visit to Hemsley Conservation Centre. What a great little find. Lovely location, garden with bits for the kids although rained on our visit.

We ate a selection of different dishes, from mixed grill to fish and chips. All good except for some off wine. When I pointed out that it had turned/‘corked’, ie bubbles and a sour taste, the lady told me that it couldn’t have, because it hadn’t had a cork in the first place! Lol. Also that nobody else served it had complained so it must be okay. I’ve been drinking wine for about as long as she’s been alive, but I guess that here it’s not the customer who’s right...

We were 8 adults on a day walk. The countryside around is very beautiful and unspoiled and worth checking out as there are other good pubs around making the choice rather tricky. We were VERY taken with the Green Man for several reasons. First the flower displays outside are magnificent. The quiet location on the village green adds to the appeal. We were made to feel very welcome. The food choice on the menu - a set lunch, specials of the day, and lengthy a la carte choice was also impressive. Each of us (we were 8) said how good the quality of the food was in the choices that we made. So all in all our choice of this pub to visit was a great success. Comes highly recommended therefore.

This is an Excellent country pub in traditional village green setting. If your children like ours have a good appetite and don't care for processed fish fingers or turkey twizzelers then the Green Man is for you. The children's fish and chicken dishes were home made and a far cry from the mass produced options too often pedalled by many pubs, ours left full and happy. Adult menu offered a good choice and the food and service didn't disappoint. Very happy to have the Greenman nearby, give it a try.

My wife and I enjoyed a great lunch in very pleasant surroundings. Alex was a super host. We will definitely be making a return trip.

Popped in as passing, good quality ale, excellent food (Lamb Kofa was great) and a friendly chap working the bar and floor. This pub has got it right. Recommend.

Went there for lunch there where a couple of group of people there but what can I say the menu sound good the food was crap the only taste was potato for a ham and chicken pie tasteless and the ale was was on the turn such a shame as has been a nice place and a good memory and there was such strange smell of old cig smoke maybe

A charmingly situated pub serving good pub grub. I had the fish n chips and this was very good. Perfectly fried fish with excellent chunky chips. The service was attentive and friendly and the interior is clean and exactly what you'd expect in a village pub.

Due to the reduced menu on Sundays, we went for the Roast diner.

A nice country pub with good food in a lovely quiet location with a decent outdoor sitting area , looks like it’d be great for a summer evening meal in the garden . For me the beer choice is slightly limited , house wine was ok to be honest . Food was decent , service was fine . It’s a country pub not fine dining , but you’ll get a decent meal .

I am from San Francisco and visiting family here in England, We wanted to take the family to dinner and they recommended The Green Man. I let them know that I wanted good food and was pleasantly surprised at how Excellent the food is. We had a party of 8 with various dishes ordered and everyone truly enjoyed their food. This Pub would be a big hit in SF. I will be visiting again prior to departure back to America. Enjoy!

Three of us visited this 'remote' pub situated up a long quiet country lane for lunch in Kent on a Tuesday and had a great very relaxed time enjoying our meal with a bottle of Sauvignon and a couple of glasses of Harvey's Sussex Bitter. (Other good Real Ales were available)

Lovely, cosy little pub with friendly, efficient staff. Reasonably priced food. Sunday roast was nice, nothing special though. Have had much nicer in other pubs. Desserts were better. Good size garden. Good local walks. Roaring real fire.

Had fantastic food again tonight. Chicken supreme with green beans , sauté potatoes and the most amazing jus . Amazing thank you

We recently moved to the area and on a rare afternoon with childcare decided to go for a walk and find somewhere for lunch. We’d read good reviews of The Green Man and we certainly weren’t disappointed. The lady behind the bar was warm and friendly and the food, drinks and service were great. We’ll be back!

Been to this pub several times. Always had good food and service. Reasonably prices too. Nice location opposite a village green

Visited last night party of 10.

Christmas family meal was superb, best meal out we have had in ages and very reasonable priced. Lovely family run business very friendly couldn't do enough for us. Definitely will be coming back.

Our walking group of eleven dropped by at lunchtime today taking a chance that there’d be space for us even though we hadn’t booked. We used to frequent the Green Man regularly for many years but hadn’t been in the area for quite a while so we’re taking a bit of a chance. We were delighted to be welcomed by the new owner, Alex and made to feel very much at home. The meal was all that we were looking for. Good quality food, friendly service and at a reasonable price. We’ll certainly be back again soon!

visited this pub for a weekday lunch with a friend. We chose the fixed price menu (£14 for two courses) and found this to be extremely good value. The owner and his wife were both attentive to our needs at all times. The food was well cooked and tasteful and more importantly hot. I would highly recommend this gem of a pub.

What a find, the Greenman is in a beautiful setting overlooking the green, steeped in history. The interior of the pub was welcoming, very bright but maintaining that cosy feel. The menu was exciting, spoilt for choice, all beautifully cooked. The service was great. Can’t wait to go back!

Well, walking in December can be a bit dreary, but a lunch at The Green Man put us back in a good mood. Dog friendly, big portions of tasty food, good selection of beers on the hand pump. Recommended

For the cost of the meal, I was expecting bigger portion sizes. The chicken and pancetta dish was served with a few slices of sauteed potato. Was more like a starter than a main.

Called in on the off chance after a walk in Trosley Park & luckily a table was available. Table service - we enjoyed a drink while we were choosing. I had the roast gammon which was really tender & tasty, served with veg, roast potatoes, Yorkshire & gravy. We were too full for pudding.

Wonderful evening at this cosy, pretty country pub with a group of 14 of us visiting from South East London. Alex, the owner, and his staff looked after us brilliantly and had set up a great table layout which made the evening really sociable. It can be hard to coordinate the food for this number of people and it was especially impressive that all our main courses arrived at the same time. No need to wave empty bottles in the air trying to catch someone's attention for more wine either! Food was delicious and we all agreed that we'd come back for Sunday lunch and in the summer as the garden looked lovely. Thanks Alex and team for a really special evening!

Had a really good evening at The Green Man. Pan Fried scallops were delicious with black pudding - one of my fave combos. I had the venison which was cooked to perfection and my husband had the confit duck leg which was also fantastic ( we swapped plates to try each!)

Lugar muy confortable, buena comida de calidad y bien servida,los postres caseros deliciosos, carta de vinos de varios países, los domingos tiene música en vivo. Es como almorzar en casa un domingo con la familia. Pets friendly.Un lugar muy confortable para disfrutar un domingo.

Visited with a friend for lunch on a Friday.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal I intended to only have 2 courses but couldn't resist rhubarb and Berry crumble, so glad I didn't it was super fresh and deliciously crunchy. Staff were friendly and efficient, nicely bustling pub. Good job all round.

We used to come to this pub for a meal quite often in the past, but it has changed ownership in the last year or so, and is, sadly, not quite as good as before. We came for Sunday lunch as a treat for my father's birthday. It wasn't especially busy and we all had the roast lunch for the main course. We waited 40 minutes for our food, and were given no explanation at the time as to how long we would have to wait or why there was a delay, until we came to pay the bill. The food itself was only average quality. The meat was good, but the vegetables were overcooked, and the Yorkshire pudding was tasteless (frozen perhaps?). The only vegetarian choice on the menu was nut roast which my vegetarian sister was not impressed with! Oh dear! We were very disappointed with the whole experience, especially as this had been one of our favourite pubs for a good meal. Unless they can get there act in gear on the staffing and food quality front, we won't be going again.

Headed to this pub to try the Sunday lunch with friends and our 3 month old baby. Almost cancelled the booking as read in a previous review that there were no baby changing facilities but read a reply from management explaining that this wasn’t possible due to building restraints and that people were able to use their living facilities to change their baby, so we kept the booking.

We stopped here in the middle of a bank holiday walk and thought the place was fantastic. We had a wonderful light meal of homemade soup and sandwiches and it could not be faulted. The staff were very friendly and the place was spotless. We will be coming back for sure. What a delight.

Pretty pub in lovely location,friendly and helpful waiting staff, Delicious Sunday roast, plenty of parking and large garden,

Had a large family get together here for Sunday lunch. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. Most had Sunday roast and these were all great. Plentiful portions, quality meat and vegetables. Didn’t get to a pudding as we were all full. Well done!

Visited for the first time today and in spite of the fact that we arrived five minutes before the kitchen was due to stop serving lunches Alex made us very welcome and assured us that we would be served and indeed we were ,we had a deliocios roast lamb dinner followed with a tasty dessert .Excellent value for money and a really friendly host .We will be back!

really freindly staff, good choice of drinks including real ales. food was good all round. What a lovely pub.

When I booked via the web site for a Saturday evening for four recently I hadn’t realised that there had been a change of ownership since our last visit. Our first inkling was the disappearance of the menu boards that had adorned one complete wall of the bar, having been replaced by an actual menu. The choice of food on the menu was less than before but there was still a good choice. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was well cooked, well presented, tasty and filling. We did manage three courses but only just. Good selection of beers, wines etc. The new owners have certainly kept up the previous good standard and we will be returning.

This place is off the beaten track but is a real hidden gem looking over a pretty village green. Food is very good, we had the chicken burger which came in a sourdough bun and was excellent. I am quite hard to please but would recommend the Green Man for a traditional English pub lunch.

This was our first visit since the change of ownership last year.

The Pub is very much in the English country pub tradition. The food was reasonably - good, typical sort of pub grub. The night we visited we would have stayed for dessert but a good of over indulgent women came in from the garden where the must have spent some time drinking. So we didn't fancy sit next to them!

Went for Saturday night dinner with family, 4 of us. We had three courses. Each one was presented beautifully and most Importantly it tasted amazing. At first I thought the portion size was on the small side but then once eating the meal it was just the right amount as the meal was filling and very flavoursome. First time I been here in a few years and will definitely be returning. Also the staff are very friendly and inviting, no pressure. Good selection of ales on tap too. Overall we were all really enjoyed our time here.

This place is in a nice country setting,and has ample parking. The staff are helpful, and the menu - though not extensive - is fine. We enjoyed a good meal and would go back.

Haven't been here for nearly a year and don't know why! Lovely meal, lovely staff and great food. We definitely won't leave it so long till our next visit.

Meeting of friends for lunch, disinterested welcome on arrival, which friends commented on, not at all welcoming!

Have launched here several times but were disappointed at the camembert to share. Very sparse sides with the nicely cooked box of cheese but not as well presented as other local pubs. The previously offered ploughmans with the previous owners is not on the new menu. Shame as most pubs offer a ploughmans. The Staff are friendly and the pub is still inviting. Maybe we are just missing the previous chalk board menus and should give thew owners a chance but feel a good ploughmans is a must. Nice garden area.

We had another fantastic meal here last week. Two of the specials that Alex had put on - mussels and the pork belly- both were delicious, crackling was fantastic! Both cooked to perfection,

My husband and I stopped here for lunch. It was really sunny so we sat outside.

Delicious food and a great variety to choose from. We were in a party of six and all of us found something enticing on the menu and were delighted when the food arrived and lived up to its promise. Delicious duck salad starter, a great yorkshire with the roast and as for the baked camembert..... yummy. The pub is a little off the beaten track, but that gives great opportunities for enjoying the delightful countryside and it's well worth the visit.

A lovely country setting with welcoming staff however after a very long wait between the starters and main course the food was very disappointing.... 'shredded' shoulder of lamb served with practically raw vegetables in lukewarm gravy... Will not go again nor would we recommend

On one of the coldest days of the year we found one of the warmest welcomes! Great Sunday lunch, lovely staff. Will be going again.

Nice old fashioned pub good food nice time snow outside Fish & chips great going to try sticky apricot pudding

Came here for Sunday lunch on a friends recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Sunday pub lunches are often a bit hit or miss with the focus - understandably - on the traditional Sunday lunch - so i was pleasantly surprised that along with Topside of Beef, slow cooked lamb shoulder and glazed gammon came an a la carte menu with some really interesting dishes on it. Celeriac and truffle rosti or potted confit rabbit as starters for instance..slow cooked beef cheeks (melting!), slow cooked pork belly, sea bream for mains....there is something for everyone here and it all really well prepared, tasty and on time. A well priced wine list with about 10 reds and whites (each) and staff with a really positive attitude. Can't wait to go back when the slush has cleared!! :-))

Had an excellent meal from the new menu but didn't feel like guinea pigs at all. Outstanding ham hock with homemade Piccallili, Rabbit, Sea Bass with Broad Beans and Venison. A really good meal and quite reasonably priced in a lovely country pub.

The pub has a nice traditional countryside feel with ample parking but I was dissatisfied with my overall experience based...

Down on business, having 2 hours to spare and in need of sustainance I called into The Green Man First...

I have been here a number of times and thought it was about time to give it a review. Beer...

I came here with a family party of eight on Sunday afternoon, after stumbling accross this place a few weeks...

Last time we visited the Green man was 11 years ago. We remember this pub had a massive menu &...

Three of us visited the Green Man recently as I wanted to see how things had gone since the new...

My wife and I live locally and have tried all of the pubs in our area for the best Sunday lunch over the 3 years we have lived here. We thought we would try the Green Man again, now that the new owners have settled in. I have to say they do a great Sunday lunch! I had the 'Shin of lamb' and my wife had the 'Half roast chicken", served with a side of Caulifower Cheese! . Both tasted great and I would say probably the best Sunday lunch I have had out of any pub in the area. The new Landlord Alex and his wife are both very nice and personable and its going to be difficult to keep this pub a secret when food is this good.

This was our first visit since it changed hands. As we live locally we decided to visit for a Sunday lunch. The manager found us a table, but unfortunately for us the rest of the main dining area was booked by a large party which gave us little space at our table. I had the beef and my husband had the pork. We both thought that the meat was good quality, but the portion of potatoes and veg was very small for a Sunday roast. You had to pay extra for cauliflower .. I think it was £3.75.

Had a good evening last night, friendly pub, good service. Food overall good, with a few minor issues. No walnuts on the pear, walnut and blue cheese salad. Lamb very rare, didn’t ask how we wanted it cooked. Flavour very good, veg selection good and properly cooked. Hope they can improve on the minor issues.

Booked this for a meal the day after our wedding for 18 family and friends. Wanted £100 deposit which we paid straightaway. Had used many times before and hadn’t realised the pub had changed hands. Very disappointed at the start of the meal by the total lack of options on the menu. Only one vegetarian option. Both of us and 4 other guests was vegetarian and there always used to be plenty of choice. They did offer eventally to make some other options reluctantly after I told them I couldn’t eat the halloumi. We were reluctantly given a couple of other options after a frustrating conversation with the waiter, one was “vegetable pie without the pastry, but you get mashed potatoes” so just a plate of vegetables then.
