The Kentish Horse in Sevenoaks

Had dinner with friends whom live locally. Quintessential English pub in a great location. Food standard pub Fayre but tasty. Cheesecake gorgeous!!

Has to be the most disappointing meal I have ever had there. Used to be good food at great value, maybe I just got a bad day? Poor quality food, with a lasagne that was tiny and looked like it had been unceremoniously dropped on the plate, a side salad that was about 2 desert spoons of lettuce, 1/2 tomato and 1 slice of cucumber! A shame as I frequently recommend this pub, I may have to have a re think now. 😞

Really excellent pub! Fabulous large garden with playground and lovely views. Staff and ambience excellent, food and drink delicious. Worth a visit!

Popped in after work for a pint. Decided to try some food too... OMG cottage pie with seasonal veg. Some sort of spice in the mince, cheese in the mashed potato topping. Totally gorgeous 😍

We had four lunches.I had haddock and chips, twelve to be precise, so few that I counted them. A very small piece of fish, Not worth £15.50. My wife had burger and chips. The burger was very dry, not helped by a dry bun with nothing on it. My son had the warm duck salad, which was fine apart from the skin which was not crispy and therefore not edible. My daughter - in -law had a portion of chips which were excellent. We come here quite often as the staff are very nice, and the chips are the best, and we usually get enough food, but today, my sons birthday, was disappointing with three out of four of us Dissatisfied with our meals.

Brought my elderly mum and for Sunday lunch, she thoroughly enjoyed her food, very specifically not 100% menu, i had liver, bacon and onions, the liver was beyond perfectly cooked and my wife had the beef roast which she absolutely loved, overall, can't fault a proper pub with proper beer and grub

Arrived before the start of dinner ,so had to wait 45 minutes to actuallly order. Garden was ok, sat and had a couple of soft drinks. Finallly ordered the "Chicken Burger" Absolutly not good. Chicken over cooked small strips of breaded chicked ,probably from Aldi. Chips overcooked and sparse 12.50 each. Way over priced for what you get. Definatly a locals kinda place. Maybe ok for a beer with friends since there wer epacks of loud foul mouth blokes drinking. Too bad, with family and could have done without the background swearing and leering. The staff were somewhat friendly,but food was noot good.

Meal out with my other half in this delightful pub, on a Friday evening was very good. The menu, not too fancy- just well cooked pub food & generous portions at fair prices. The lady serving us was friendly & kindly gave me a sample of local cider bought to my table … we left happy & full

Tucked out of the way, this is an amazing find. We went with friends for Sunday lunch. 2 had the roast chicken both said it was moist and 2 of us had the beef, myself included. The beef was excelent and no too thinly sliced as in most places. My knife went through it like butter and the roast potatoes were crunchy and fluffy inside. The amount of food was more than enough the ladys couldn't finish theirs. So good I have just booked again for 12th November. Looking forward to another great meal.

Had a beer in this pub a few times and its always been v good. A pint of Larkins is always a pleasure. Went their this month with family for lunch. Food very good and service v friendly. Great outdoor space at the back of the pub

Only recently got around to visiting this place having lived in the area for a while. i wish we had discovered it earlier. Lovely spacious garden - but more importantly clean and tidy! Lunch menu was extensive and the food was good - the best onion rings I have tasted. Staff very friendly and attentive. The only negatives in the interest of offering advice would be that it was necessary to buy 2 small bottles of orange juice to have the equivalent of a glass of orange. Also, that the desserts at £7.25 seem a bit steep so we declined. Otherwise, a very nice lunch.

Delightful sitting in the sun in the very pleasant garden staring at the vast horizon - so peaceful. Staff here are lovely, friendly, warm and very efficient. Mid-week lunch and the place was packed which says a lot. Food here is pretty typical, but well-cooked and presented and reasonably priced. The Kentish Horse is a really nice venue and we will certainly return.

My 2nd visit after coming here last year for lunch. Excellent food again. I highly recommend the homemade burger. The ploughmans was also excellent. Very well kept ales. Nice garden as well.

Very pleasant staff and a lovely spacious garden. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing. Our chips were badly overcooked as were my chicken goujons.

I love this countryside pub , staff & management are generally friendly, seems like a great bunch of locals … but, it’s a shame the food on the last couple of visits come in a little disappointing- no roast dinner for us on Sunday, as one is advised ( after the event) to preorder this in advance- second choices were just okay. I will go back, but perhaps they would do better to stick to roast only on Sundays - and younger waiting staff could only improve their customer relationship skills- this is harsh, but this is my genuine feeling.

First time visiting today, and we will definitely be returning. Car park has plenty of space. Such a warm friendly welcome. Very clean and tidy. Good variety on the menu. Our lunch was amazing, possibly the best chips I’ve ever had, portion sizes very generous too! We decided to eat in the garden, so peaceful. Lunch arrived quite quickly. You can pay by card/Apple Pay which is handy. Overall, perfect, nothing to fault.

A pub/restaurant with a typical country pub feel. A pleasant atmosphere and pleasant courteous staff. Looked like a great view out from the garden for a sunny day. The meals ordered were very nice, good portions. Leave some space for your pud!! the cheese cake was amazing.

We had another great visit to the Kentish Horse, we love the garden area, the staff are super friendly and attentive, food is always good. Maria and Amanda are lovely as are the rest of the staff. We also came at Easter bank holiday, it was really busy and we hadn’t booked so thought they might not do food for us but they kept taking orders and we didn’t wait long at all, very relaxed time even with it being busy, well done and thank you x x

The Kentish horse is a real country pub, the ales are great and so is the food, even better , they don’t allow children in the bar area, so unlike other pubs were children run and screech while the rest of us have to endure this, this pub is ideal for adults to relax in peace and quiet. Long may it last.

So the pub, stayed open on a cold winters night to provide great refreshments to our weary band of chaps. Service, quality of the beer and the hospitality where fantastic.

We held a gathering family and friends here at the Kentish Horse pub after a service at the church. Trevor and his team made us feel very welcome and we all rated it a first class event. Champagne and lunch buffet excellent. Thank you.

Definitely going again some day. Staff friendly, polite and efficient. Two log fires on a cold winters day, so good. A wonderful old time bar feeling. As for the food, well it was delicious and plenty of it. Just like a home cooked Sunday roast. Also none of this we don’t trust you and running your card through before you have even ordered. Thank you all.

Tuesday lunchtime. Really friendly welcome. The ham sandwich was easily the best I have had recently. More than three layers of home-cooked ham. The wife had the prawn sandwich and raved about that as well. The local cider was also very good. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

First time visit, front of pub was a bit off putting but we were pleased we went in as the staff were very welcoming and attentive. We both had liver and bacon which was very well cooked and presented, very impressed with the variety of vegetables, we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Will go again.

Sunday lunch for four of us. Not the best meal we have had here. It was busy and servers very pleasant. Starters were ok but main roast meal was cold. Desserts went down well.

Thank you to the owner and staff at the Kentish Horse for making a pair of rather muddy walkers very welcome when they just came in for a cup of coffee. Looks a lovely pub and wish we could come back to sample the menu too!

This was a throughly disappointing experience from an establishment that has previously delivered good quality roast dinners pre pandemic. We visited the Kentish Horse last Sunday and were cognisant upon arrival that it was extremely busy. Two of us had roast dinners (one beef, one chicken). Upon arrival, the beef was very rare to the extent that we both felt it could have walked off the plate at a moments notice. It was promptly sent back, though unsure why the waiter did not ask beforehand I would like it cooked? Another waiter was very apologetic, citing how busy the restaurant was and that would be dealt with promptly. The beef retuned and it was cooked to an acceptable standard (never have sent back a roast from here before). Unfortunately, the quality all round for both roasts was not up to the standards delivered pre-pandemic. Has the previous chef left as this was catering standard? The gravy was like water, no flavour. The broccoli was significantly undercooked, roasts barely crunchy and not soft in the middle, stuffing inedible, Yorkshire’s catering standard, chicken no flavour. I have had roasts at other establishments charging similar prices (£14.50 here) and this one is not worthy of being in that price bracket. It really was poor and I feel that the staff knew that it wasn’t good enough. The Kentish Horse is the first name I think of to visit for a roast in the area, though if this is standard to expect, sadly won’t be returning.

Good pub food and prices but pity that mask culture that is no longer required, but remains recommended, had been abandoned.While it is reported that face masks are no longer a legal requirement, many venues are likely to encourage them in some capacity, and the Government is keen that they doThere's a reason for that !!!

Visited with some friends. Nice looking pub with friendly staff however at £14.40 for a pint of Harvey's & a pint of Coke thought it extremely expensive. It's a shame as I would have liked to return with my wife as she would love it but it's not happening at those prices.

What a fantastic little pub staff were really friendly, welcoming and helpful. Whilst we only had sandwiches they were delicious and our special requests were met. Can't recommend enough will definitely be back.

Great pub, great food and lovely place for kids to play. Such a quiet place to enjoy the nice weather and good food. Very quick table service and very friendly staff.

We are group of lady walkers and the Kentish Horse was found during our recent walk around the area. We arrived at 11.15 and the pub doesn't normally open until 12. However, the lovely staff there made us fresh coffee, along with chocolates and let us all use their toilet facilities before we set off again.The staff were so fantastic, they even let us finish the rest of the pot and gave extra milk etc., a wonderful find, we shall be returning again soon, hopefully for lunch next time.Thank you very much Kentish Horse

A very good large outside seating area over looking the kent countryside. The food was great, the ham egg and chips were fantastic as was the treacle tart for pudding. We will definatly visit again soon

Have visited this pub for over 30 years and have never had a bad experience. Good local ale and tasty pub grub eaten in a garden with amazing views over to Ashdown Forest. What's not to like on a sunny day? And it's dog friendly, so our Labrador is happy too! Also does great Christmas dinners indoors in the winter months, with helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended for all seasons.

Fantastic meal with fantastic service. After leaving the old Eden ( never again ) we had dinner here. Definitely go again. Yummy and service with a smile

Fantastic pub !great food friendly staff and great beer !! Love taking my mum here for lunch ! Very well loved pub !!! Really must visit more often

What a great friendly pub! This pub seems to tick the boxes, friendly, happy staff, good ales and a good choice of cider. Had to start looking further afar now for a decent pub as our village ones being run in to the ground! But this never disappoints. Great area for the kids to play and the views in the garden are lovely. Would highly recommend.

The drinks and food here are excellent, the staff always really helpful and welcoming. I would highly recommend trying this pub very good quality and value

We reserved a table in the restaurant for Sunday lunch and I am glad that we did as we would have not got in. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was delightful. I had the roast pork and it was cooked perfectly, I couldnt eat it all and they gladly foiled up the left overs for me to take home for the dog. No pun intended but he woofed it down!!Husband had the finish and it smelt, looked and tasted really fresh. In addition the views are breathtaking and there is ample parking and a lovely garden if the weather permitted.We will definately come back

Sat Nav had failed again and we found ourselves outside 'The Kentish Horse' - what a warm welcome we had and valuable advice from other customers! Lunch was excellent as was the service from the very pleasant staff. Thank you for making our day!

3 of us popped in to have some dinner and a pint.Recieved a very cold stare upon entering.The bartender just glared at us , and we said hello .We politely said we would like to have a meal.They responded that they stopped serving food, but could not confirm what time the kitchen closed .This pretty much guaranteed we will not try this place again.The only thing I can think of is that they have a "regular local" following ,and dont need any new customers.We heard good things about this pub/ restuarant but this was a negative experience.Consequently I cannot recommend this pub.BTW , we went just down the road a few miles and had an amazing meal at The Greyhound Inn .We received a warm welcome and outstanding service.I suggest the Pork belly.

i visted the kentish horse today with my family on the spur of the moment.we needed a pub with play area as had 4 children with us.i hadnt visted for over 20 years! warm welcome from staff and very accomodating of 6 people turning up without booking.local cider was lovely on such a hot saturday afternoon. we had stilton ploughmans. homemade quiche and kids meals all hot, fresh good quality produce.we all commented on how lovely the whole pub and garden was! i will definitlely be returning!

Have visited before and I must say that the food is consistently good. This visit was midweek and it was still very busy so worth booking for sure.All four of us ate well and the bill was very reasonable at £80 for four of us including drinks.Would definitely return and certainly recommend.Large, easily accessible car park, friendly and efficient service - thank you

Sat outside in the garden lovely views 4 of us had a meal. Liver and Bacon,Salad, + 2 poached salmons all very good except found the salmon had not got much flavour. the staff were very friendly and helpful. will go again

Being 71 years of age I have been around a bit but can honestly say the Haddock & Chips was the best I have ever tasted. Staff were polite and attentive. Great place to eat.

Have visited twice in the last week with different family, both times food amazing. Husband had to have liver & bacon both times as he said it was so good, homemade burger melts in mouth, fish & chips gorgeous, generous portion sizes. Staff very friendly & quickly served at the bar. Lovely large beer garden with beautiful view. Would definitely recommend.

I visited the Kentish Horse for the first time in many years when I went there last week to have dinner with my Mum. We had a great evening made all the more enjoyable by the very good food and helpful and friendly staff.

Fab fish and chips fantastic. good atmosphere, quite a lot of locals go every week, staff helpful and very friendly, a must if you are in the area

Great food, a superb garden for children. Inside lacking a bit of ambience but will hold large groups so worth enquiring. Great food, faultless service.

Had a lovely meal today for my Dad’s 85th Birthday there was 17 of us and service was excellent. Couldn’t of wished for anything more. Excellent food, staff were friendly and children enjoyed the play area. Will definitely be going back.

Great food friendly service staff really hard working and attentive nice family restaurant with large family garden

Four of us went to the Kentish Horse for lunch today and were all really pleased with our menu choices. The food was fresh, well cooked and well presented, we also enjoyed desserts. The men were happy with their beer. The staff were welcoming and friendly, we will be returning.

Booked for 2pm , on arrival told only one chicken dinner left, sat down, 2 of us chose roast pork, sorry none left and no beef either, I chose the last chicken dinner, other half chose cod and chips, waitress came back said sorry no cod and chips left but can do 2 beef, seriously I would have liked to choose my lunch on mother’s day not just have the last chicken dinner, price good but don’t feel the choice for a special day was good enough

Took the opportunity to visit the Kentish Horse as we were staying nearby. Had not visited for years, but was greatly impressed. Choice of beers from Harveys, Larkins and Long Man breweries, and an impressive choice of food on the menu. I had a prawn cocktail starter, which was superb and very large! Followed with the 10oz rump steak, again excellent and a generous portion. My wife had the fish and chips, which she was very pleased with. Will definitely return again soon.

We had a family get together of 14 everyone was very happy with their delicious food Food great service great

Regularly stop here when walking in this area. The beer is excellent. Only ever had pub grub but it is always excellent. The staff are very friendly. All in all can’t ask for anything more - cracking pub.

Living in Edenbridge,this is nearby, but not exactly my local. Having said that,I never miss an opportunity to cycle to the Kentish Horse to enjoy a couple of pints of decent beer,(Harveys is a standard,but love the ever rotating guest beers-especially when it's Summer Lightning or Exmoor Gold!!)

We allways go here, the ales are great and kept well, the food is gorgeous and allways large amounts, the locals are great, it's a rare gem

After visiting Hever Castle, we went across the road to Henry 8th pub, but it was closed, so drove along the road, next pub the Greyhound was NOT dog friendly, so went on to next pub which was the Kentish Horse, we were not disappointed, very dog friendly a bowl of water for the dog when we walked in, the food was very good, and reasonably priced.

Terrible meal , far from it's usual standard and very disappointing, will not return again.

Popped into this historic Kentish pub for a quick drink on the way through as it looked so beautiful, situated down a leafy country lane near Hever Castle.

We decided to use The Kentish Horse for our annual family get-together. 13 adults & 5 children for lunch. The ambiance was very pleasant, service & food excellent. The portions for lunch were enormous!! They is a very good children's play area so the children played after lunch enabling us to catch up on family events.

Lovely lunch for four plus our two little grandsons. Very friendly young staff who impressed by kneeling down when talking to the children. You won't 'need' a pudding as portions are generous, but if you can be tempted do try the Baileys Bread and Butter Pudding with ice cream - it will wreck your calorie count, but is absolutely delicious.

Good beer friendly locals polite and happy bar staff lovely garden with good views all in all a good atmosphere .

Best traditional pub I have visited, the food is fantastic and king size portions the staff are welcoming as isTrevor the landlord, knocks spots of the Greyhound pub down the road.

I had lunch here with a friend and it was lovely. The nice thing is they do Senior Portions so you don't have to have the enormous normal size dishes. They were quite adequate. The Baileys bread and butter pudding is fab. The service was excellent and the waitresses very friendly.

Narrow road to the car park which you get stuck waiting behind deliveries and other cars waiting to go in and out. Car park small and just dissapointing compared with the pictures.

We went on Bank Holiday as a group of 8.

We love visiting the Kentish Horse for some good old pub grub and a nice pint or three, we go fairly regularly, staff always polite and friendly and the food is always good, there is a group of four to six of us who go out every week or two for a meal at the local pubs. No-one ever complains when it's the turn to go to the Kentish Horse. Keep up the good work & the good atmosphere. Barrie, Dan, Julian, Michaela, Jill, Caroline.

Not eaten here for many years although visited for drinks, but decided to eat here on Saturday night. It was very busy due to a prebooked function, but service was not too distrupted. Pleasant evening menu to suit mosts tastes, although two items were not available at 7.15pm but I think that was due to the prebooked function having also pre booked their food. This did not detract from the choice made, which was a lovely well presented and tasty chicken supreme, with fresh vegetables. Can certainly recommend that dish! Desert menu had too many "nice" options but decided on treacle tart with ice cream and a fruit crumble with custard, both very nice and decent servings. The lunch time menu also looks to have some pleasant and numerous choices and in summer weather (we can only hope), it would be nice to sit out in the garden. Would have no hesitation on recommending.

A group of 14 of us had Sunday lunch. Some of us had to wait a while for our meal to be brought out, but I can overlook this as we weren’t in a rush, the food was lovely, the staff very friendly and, there was a lot of us! I would definitely go back.

A lovely country local pub with great real ales, including Larkins (locally brewed). Good food, very friendly atmosphere, great landlord and bar staff and always a warm welcome. Very large spacious garden with panoramic views and very easy spacious parking. This pub is a real gem surrounded by lovely Kentish countryside. Very highly recommended.

My husband and I went for a nice country walk around Edenbridge / Hever and decided to pop in to The Kentish Horse for lunch and we were not disappointed by the food - it was absolutely delicious! I went for a jacket potato with coronation chicken which had a perfectly crispy skin and they certainly didn't skimp on the amount of coronation chicken that went along with it, which so many places do. My husband had the burger with bacon and cheese and again the portion size was huge. And all for a very reasonable price.

It was very busy in here, I would recommend booking. We were very lucky to get a little table by the bar on a Sunday lunchtime. Lovely old fashioned pub with good staff and a lovely atmosphere.

On 30th December 2017 a group of six of us had an excellent Christmas dinner at this lovely pub. The table was decorated festively, the service was very attentive and the food was wonderful. The menu had various options, and everyone had high praise for the cuisine. We highly recommend this pub.

Fabulous meal was served to a large group to celebrate Christmas. The food was of a great standard tasty meat with lots of vegetables which were cooked to perfection and served by friendly staff. We keep going back!

Friendly pub in the kent countryside. good menu of snacks and meals and generous servings. All freshly cooked and they are happy to adjust menu options to your favourites. We had mash instead of new potatoes with our steak pie. And when we hesitated between cream custard or ice cream with our dessert we were offered all three!

Friendly staff, lovely place. Stopped for a spur of the moment lunch. This pub is dog friendly, landlord has a sense of humour, staff were helpful, friendly but not too over the top. The food is all home cooked, excellent quality. Menu is not huge but covers a variety of tastes and options.

My wife and I took my Mother-in-law for a meal. The portions are very generous. We all enjoyed our meals....

Good variety of food...generous portions and well prepared and presented. Prices are reasonable and we received friendly and efficient service.

This is our regular venue as it’s so good. A group of us visit approx every 6 weeks. Great food and very friendly staff.

Trevor is your host and you know straight away that this is going to be a good experience. Warm and welcoming in the winter with open fires, and a good patio with wonderful views and garden, plus a children's area, in the summer. Well kept local beers and outstanding portions of real home made food with wines at sensible prices.

Staying at nearby Hoath House and fell upon this lovely pub. We enjoyed a delicious meal and drinks. Had minimal options on vegan dishes but friendly Server offered to make my choices vegan. Enjoyed a lovely butternut squash soup with whole wheat roll, and mixed salad with avocado.

From very first contact everyone at the Kentish Horse was polite and helpful. I called ahead a few days before to book a table for a group of us including a toddler - I was politely asked if I required a high chair but when I said he would probably prefer a chair at the table they provided a very sturdy chair which was perfect height for him to reach the table and eat his lunch. There was a very extensive menu on offer which allowed everyone to individually choose what they wanted depending on how hungry they were. We sampled several ploughmans, sausage, mashed potato and peas, mushroom tagliatelle, mushrooms and bacon on toast, cheese and tomato sandwich and a children's sausage, chips and peas. All the cooked meals had options such as mashed potato/chips, peas/baked beans/sweetcorn. All the food arrived at the same time and the portion sizes were very generous. The ploughmans and bacon and mushroom on toast came with delicious salad.The service throughout our stay was excellent and everyone could not have been anymore attentive. The garden is a sheer delight for children with safe, well kept equipment for them to play on whilst the adults enjoy the panoramic views of the Kent countryside. There were several local ales on the pumps which were well kept and tasty. When the rain unfortunately stopped our time in the garden we returned inside and a box of toys were brought out for the toddler to play with - this has never happened ever and was such a lovely gesture. This also meant the adults could stay and enjoy another drink without having to rush off because of a bored toddler.I would highly recommend this place as not only was the price of meals and drinks very good but there was exemplary service throughout our whole time and we all agreed the place was amazing. I very much look forward to returning here and although it is not local to myself it is well worth the drive. Thank you all for an amazing afternoon and keep up the excellent work!

1. Staff: excellent bar and wait staff. Courteous , pleasant, attentive and always smiling2. Food: excellent. All the usual pub classics and fantastic desserts.3. Beer garden: one of the best beer garden I have seen with a lovely kids play area. On a nice summer day you can see the hills far ahead4. Value for money: quality of food is great and very reasonable A must if you are in the neighbourhood or visiting Hever Castle.

It's so rare that pubs get everything so right, that I felt compelled to write a review.Gorgeous pub, great location, plenty for the kids to do outside (we had 6 children with us, ranging from 4 to 10), incredible food and attentive and helpful staff. They were so accommodating, we will absolutely be returning again and again. It's one of those places that it's SO good, you almost don't want to tell anybody else about it!

We were staying in a cottage nearby for 10 days and had lunch at The Kentish Horse most days. It is a really lovely pub. The large garden has beautiful views over the hills and trees. The food is very good indeed - fantastic chips! Extremely friendly staff. We love it.

Always a cheerful welcome and attentive service. Great food, always served hot and freshly cooked. We visited for a family birthday lunch and made to feel most welcome on arrival, we have one of our grandchildren who is dairy intolerant and we struggle for a dessert, they can normally offer a sorbet but on this occasion not available and offered a variety of fresh fruits. Can honestly say don't think we have ever had such a great service any where else.

Lovely warm welcoming atmosphere. Excellent garden for children and families. Beautiful views. Good car parking. All round great pub.

I visited for a meal after walking with a group of nine people. I had the quiche lorraine with salad and chips. The quiche was beautiful with excellent pastry - no soggy bottom here! The salad and coleslaw were equally good and very fresh. The chips were fluffy and crisp. Price-wise it was very good value and I would thoroughly recommend this pub for its food and also for the friendly service. I will definitely be back!

We visited after lunch and before dinner service, but the manager overheard that we were hungry and didn't really want to wait so he gave us the option of some quick to prepare foods that we could have and ensured that we went on our full happy and full.

This pub is a hidden gem.... Four of us had Friday lunch ,which lasted three hours. Great food,good service, just a lovely village pub atmosphere and well kept beer.

Friendly staff, however poor menu and standard of food. I get the impression that the food is not freshly cooked, simply been heated up. Lovely beer garden however.

Excellent food, brilliant garden for children,and very nice staff and landlord.a really lovely area out in the country side,near Hever Castle and Penshurst Place.It is a popular pub and on both occasions this year when I have wanted to go with my neighbours,it was booked up for a wedding and a beer festiva.so will try again another time.

Great food and beer, fun garden to relax in, very kid friendly playground. The service was a little slow but well worth the wait.

We were a group of fifteen friends who visit various pubs in Surrey, Sussex and Kent for lunch and a natter. The Kentish Horse is one of the best we've found. The quality of the food and the extremely attractive pricing coupled with the very efficient and friendly staff made this a perfect lunch venue. We look forward to visiting it again in the not to distant future.

We were on a short break, and were so impressed with the wonderful food and friendly, efficient service that we returned for a meal the next day. The bar was busy, but a staff member was happy to show us to a table. She was knowledgable about the beers and even brought us a sample of one we were unfamiliar with. Once our order was taken she was off duty but left us in the capable hands of a young waitress. Delicious food in a lovely old pub with a wood burning stove on a cold Kent evening - great.

The KH is the epitome of a country pub. Its clientele is a mixture of sturdy locals, interesting dogs, drivers and walkers. The interior is always busy and energetic. Good beer decent coffee and good food. Perfectly lovely.

There are great views, there's plenty of room in the car park, a quiet setting, large garden, kiddies play area and a warm and friendly welcome. The menu is packed with pub classics, all served in large portions and at a very competitive price and there is a good selection of cask ales.SO WHY ONLY 3/5? Because sometimes you want refined cooking, something more than Nescafé after a meal, a newly decorated restaurant, hand cut chips, something a bit more gastronomic than frozen scampi!IF YOU WANT LARGE PORTIONS OF CHEAP FOOD WITH GOOD BEER THEN THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU. If you want something more refined, look elsewhere. As the title says, it is what it is.

We visit about 8 times a year, this visit Easter Day we decided to just go for a drink and as expected it was very busy. I did ask the bar staff if there was a chance for a table, they said some people were just leaving and they set the table for us. The staff are all very friendly, the food is always good and fair prices. There is a very nice garden with play area, good views. When you book a table it is yours for the duration of your visit no rushing to get you out.
