The Lion in Sevenoaks

We go to The Lion every month and we always ask if Claire can serve us as we always have such a nice time when she is looking after us. The food is always good as well.

Had an amazing meal, food was great and the service was too! Our waitress Clare made our welcome very warm and the experience even better from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Had a great meal out with my girlfriend at the Lion this evening! The food was lovely and quick, and our waitress Clare was fantastic. She was so nice and properly took care of us, whilst also having a great sense of humour! We will be coming back!

Went with a friend for lunch , beautiful setting, 'sat outside, staff very good but the Beef sandwich was awful, very dry and tasteless , don't recommend!

We've been here a few times now for lunch and dinners. Service is excellent staff are attentive and welcoming. The menu is diverse, and the food is well cooked and presented . It's a relaxing atmosphere inside and out by the river.

Always excellent service, especially from Giannis, who is always very helpful. Lovely atmosphere & great food. Very dog friendly.

Lunchtime meal for three. All very good. Great food and service. Good location with easy parking. Not surprisingly it was fairly busy. Thanks to our waiter, Jannis, for your attentiveness. Recommended.

Very nice atmosphere but slow service and food is expensive.

We really enjoy our visits there. Very friendly and homely atmosphere. Food is good and various promotions make it even better value for money

Lovely time. All the cooked food was amazing, but the toasted sandwich was obviously waiting a while as it was very dry when it was brought out. Really lovely service.

13 of us celebrated the life of Jennifer with you on Monday. We all sat round 1 table in a comfortable area,had very tasty food beautifully presented and talked of the many happy memories spent with Jennifer at meals shared at The Lion and her life in Kent and North London. Big thank you Prillie

Great large venue particularly in summer Atmospheric...vintage inns group very consistent with better management for this site so well run. Sunday roast very good Week menu well delivered

Delicious meal, excellent service and beautiful location.

Had a wonderful dinner for my friends birthday. The staff were lovely and polite and kept checking on us. Food was amazing and came out quickly once ordered. We both had the Signature Burger. The beef brisket in the burger was mouthwatering and had the perfect amount of BBQ sauce.

Tina was lovely….. was amazing.

Food & drinks were great. Tina was lovely! So friendly and attentive. Will definitely come again xx

Great beer, friendly staff members.

A lovely lunch with friends. Extensive menu. Lovely food & friendly service.

Brilliant service by tina, amazing food as always highly recommend

Great food and wonderful staff.

Excellent service very freindly and great atmosphere

A really lovely location, amazing Sunday Roast. We come here often and the service, the quality and portion sizes of the food is always really good.

Great service, food amazing. Portion size very generous. Which meant I was too full and could manage dessert.

Have I just been lucky? I have eaten here many times, perhaps more so as it is dog friendly. I have always had friendly, attentive service and enjoyable meals.

I ordered scallops and prawns in mashed potatoe and cheese sauce. There was only 1 scallop which was sliced in 2 and 3 prawns! Would not return on that basis alone.

Great food a bit pricey but as same every were

There was a good choice of menu

Jannis was amazing as usual food was delicious

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Clean and comfy ambient.

Good food, friendly staff, lovely surroundings

Lovely evening at The Lion. I had the chicken skewers which were lovely followed by sticky toffee pudding which was delicious. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Would definitely visit again and was good value for money.

We love this pub especially yannis, 😍always makes us feel very welcome. Service is fabulous, Food is fabulous!! We look forward to coming most Wednesdays. Thank you again Yannis 💓

We went to the Lion for a date night. Food was lush and staff were really attentive. We had a signature burger and charcuterie pizza. :)

great visit as always, good was brilliant and served quickly and the staff were friendly and attentive as usual, we look forward to visiting again soon!

Excellent food and wonderful service, cannot recommend enough!

Wonderful venue to celebrate my daughter’s 17th birthday. Tina was fantastic start to finish! So kind, helpful & welcoming. Thank you so much x

Brilliant atmosphere. Steeped in antiquity. Food is really good for pub fare. The staff though attempting to their hardest and best and are brilliant is stretched.

Looked sad as it was put in front of me vegetables all mixed together meat sirlion screwed up up thick cut tried but half way through gave up waiter came round picked up plate with no comment

The lion hotel was a lovely Sunday lunch, catxhing uo with old friends. Jannis was very accommodating & friendly.

Loved this place, first visit definitely will visit again. Excellent food and service

Yannis was a great server, had a lovely meal thank you!

Lovely meal and Jannis was very attentive and friendly! Always love it here!

Great pub, was served by the amazing Jannis who was fab:)!!

Had an amazing dinner with my partner. Our waitress Clare was lovely and provided a brilliant service with her manners and helpfulness! Food was great and fast!

Amazing service as usual from Claire. Nothing is too much trouble. Always ensuring we have drinks and we always have a great laugh.

Have eaten there a few times and all have been fine but yesterday there was no heating and the lights kept flickering. The fires are normally lit but today they were all out, not even prepared for lighting. It was cold. Had to keep our winter coats on and even gloves! The staff were given small heaters in attempts to warm the area but the rooms were too large for the small heaters to take effect. Staff were attentive as usual but couldn't do anymore. Not a comfortable experience today.

Great service by Jannis food as a good quality and I’ll definitely go back again.

The place was cold as in chilly, some people had fan heaters next to them, maybe we should have asked, but I do think a restaurant should be warm. the service was friendly, and the food was fine.

Lovely lunch here with a friend. Restaurant was very busy for a Wednesday lunchtime but still felt friendly and relaxed. Fixed price menu is excellent and very reasonably priced. Only complaint is my double espresso which had no crema on it at all and tasted as if it had just been poured out of a jug of filter coffee. Also be aware that offers on the app can’t be used with the fixed price menu which is a shame as my friend had a free bottle of fizz on hers as it was her birthday. All in all though, excellent and we will definitely be back, this place is a little gem.

We had a lovely meal at The Lion. We visit the restaurant fairly often as it’s a good location and offers a wide variety of good. Our waiter, Jannis, was friendly and attentive and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with everything.

Had lunch today and it was a great meal. The server Tina was lovely.

Have been here 3 tined in the last month an Jannis is always polite , nothings too much trouble! And always happy 😊

Excellent service from Jannis who made our lunch and visit to the Lion even more pleasurable.

The car park was packed, but we found a table no problem. Staff are friendly, good food, not expensive and the pub itself is lovely. Amazing place and if you follow the river, to the left as you come out of the pub, there's a great little walk. We love it 😀

A great place to go - I have lunch or dinner here with friends as it is a good place to meet up around every other month or so and I can recommend the food, the service and the atmosphere - a lovely chilled out vibe. They are especially good about my big greyhound who likes to lie in everyone's way. Lovely in the summer for a paddle in the river.

Had a very nice meal here. Service and food all very good. Would definitely recommend.

Tina was a wonderful waitress who made our lunch so enjoyable. Food was amazing.

I cannot praise this restaurant enough. The staff are brilliant, the food is excellent and lots of choice. Parking available on site. Good range of drinks. It's perfect. I thoroughly recommend.

Love the staff here, REALLY great service. The food and location are spot on too

The best mash potato ever and amazing pie

Fantastic service and great food

Always welcoming staff, very friendly atmosphere and a lovely meal.

A lovely pub by the river with lots of character. The staff were very attentive and very helpful with the menu. Great selection of gluten free options. The Sunday roast was very tasty but could have been hotter. The fish and chips was excellent.

Lovely place with a beautiful river running outside. Food was brilliant (although for my personal preference, the veg was sometimes a bit hard) but always tasted lovely. Service was also good. Would very happily go again.

Lovely visit, our waitress Clare was delightful. Food was superb will definitely be there again.

First time here & and I was very impressed. Then, found out their part of the Vintage Inns group. Never had a bad meal with them & same goes here at The Lion. Had the trio of roasts, great quick & friendly service, food turned up lovely & hot. Plus, a major thing, it tasted lovely, nice crispy roasties & plenty of it. Definitely a return at some point.

The members of staff were friendly. The environment was good. The food was very well presented and the taste was good, too.

Excellent meal - best Christmas lunch for years - friendly staff - cosy ambience - great menu choices cooked to perfection. Although I’m in a wheelchair I felt very welcome and was totally accessible with ideal toilet facilities.

Amazing food, great staff and lovely surroundings! Perfect celebration dinner.

Visited for companies Xmas Dinner, plenty of food and lovely juicy turkey, but dinner needed to be hotter service was friendly and efficient. Excellent beer garden next to river, must visit in the summer.

We've been very well looked after. Food was delicious and the atmosphere superb!. My new place for taking friends out!

Food was delicious and the lady that served us was absolutely fantastic.

Meal was ok, paid ok, on the way out decided to have another drink. On getting the drinks, noticed there was no seats in the bar. Asked if we could sit back at the table for 10 15 mins longer they said no. Incredible. Spoiled a really nice lunch. It wasnt as if it was busy 3:45 on a wednesday but how would I know. Im just a customer.

Dinner at the lion tonight, great food & fab service from Janis.

Great food, fab service by Jannis and the pub looked lovely.

Lovely pub by the river . Staff are friendly and quick service Food was excellent . Lovely location & village setting Highly recommend

Work christmas lunch, great staff,friendly and very helpfull.lovely food,festive menu available a very pleasant experience.

Yannis was very attentive and accommodating. Very friendly and helpful. We believe he should be recognised and promoted

Went in on the 3rd of December. It was the first day of their Christmas menu so there were some teething issues with the vegetables on the Christmas dinner. However the atmosphere and rest of the meal was amazing. Both the male manager and the waitress were polite and efficient.

We had the 2 course set menu and it was absolutely delicious! The beef brisket Yorkshire puddings were one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Our waitress was Clare and she was lovely and friendly as well as the manager on duty, Mark. Would 100% come again

Really lovely atmosphere, food was great, service was wonderful. Family friendly, a really lovely place that we would happily come back to. However, we were let down as we were asked to vacate our table it was reserved for another party, i think this was around 1.5hours agter we arrived? however we had planned on ordering coffees or drinks. We felt the need to rush through our deserts, and I presume if we'd had starters we wouldn't have had the option of desert! It was such a shame as we'd have liked to spend longer, I assume in the summer this is less of an issue as we could move outside to sit.

So much nicer than it used to be, service is fantastic and the food is really nice

Tina our server was amazing really helpful and fun x

Nice country pub providing good food at reasonable price. Gets very busy as popular but staff are attentive and friendly

Consistently excellent service , quality of food and value for money

It's ok a bit hit and miss food wise and they never have enough staff but saying that the staff were good and did the best they could

We ate there today. Food was excellent and the service from Clare was really good (as it always is). Really lovely olde worlde pub and the staff always give us a warm welcome.

So welcoming, friendly and happy staff in a warm homely atmosphere.

Our waitress Clare was super attentive and lovely. Very busy for a Monday lunchtime but we were looked after really well whilst out for my nans 90th. Will definitely be back x

Food is always first class, no matter what we order. Staff are always lovely and consciencious

Fantastic lunch here. I had the warm scotch egg for starter and chicken skewer for main. Both dishes were very tasty and generous portions. Husband had the fishcake starter and chicken and mushroom pie. He was equally impressed.

Very dissatisfied with the meal, staff and interior. This is a building where there are lots of steps and stairs. They also allow dogs into the restaurant area. The food was cold and hard to cut.

Lovely food, and service in a beautiful cosy setting

Another very good meal served by Jannis who never fails to be pleasant. Food was hot and well presented I would have no trouble recommending to friends and family.

I was with a group of dear friends for a Birthday Lunch on the 6th November. The pub was clean, warm and very tastefully decorated. We were greeted warmly and shown to our lovely table. Th service from Jannis our waiter was fantastic. He was friendly, charming and with a touch of humour. He was skilled and knowledgable about the menu and advised on our choices when asked. It was a lovely main- absolutely delicious and gorgeous dessert- quite unique!The chefs know what they are doing! Will be visiting again and will recommend to friends. Thank you x

Lovely pub food was really nice. Jannis had great service!

Jannis was an excellent server, looked after us, made us laugh and was overall very friendly
