The Lion in Sevenoaks

Great beer garden, crisp pint of Estrella. Will try to stop for food next time

Hi i usually visit this venue once a month with a buddy normally their for 12.00 lunch time . on this occasion arrived as usual for 11.55 once entering at 12.00 was ask about drinks i ordered mine draught cider my bud wanted a bitter to be told by the young girl behind the counter that it had run out and she needed to change the barrel and clean the pipes after 20ish mins i call over to her and got a reply of its not done yet unless you want pipe cleaner a bit rude with her responce in the end it took 35 mins to actually get his drink.not good. the rest of the staff seemed polite. just one rude individual spoilt the day.

Words can not express how wonderful this place is and would have never found it if it wasn't recommended

Friendly staff,and pleasant atmosphere.

Amazing experience at The Lion! Our waiter Jannis was fantastic—super friendly, helpful, and really made the night special. The food was delicious and the service top-notch. Highly recommend!

We were looking forward to visiting the pub because of the rating. When we got there we were told that the kitchen is closed today and may or may not open, this was at 3pm on a (fairly sunny) Saturday. We asked how long before we get a decisive answer, we were told they’re not sure we just have to wait and see. We wanted to leave, but this is one of the few places in the town, so we waited. After an 1.5-2hrs, we ordered a pizza and pork ribs with chips, but either was tasty. The food tasted like something from the frozen aisle at Iceland. We were completely disappointed after how we were treated and having to wait that long just to have tasteless food. However the outside of the pub with the chairs had a nice atmosphere and the surrounding was nice.

Jannis was fantastic with service and the chicken skewer was really delicious! Very funny evening with my gal pals and can’t wait to come back in the summer for the garden!

I think it is one of the best places to visit in the area. Food is good. Atmosphere is good. Customer service is good.

Janis was vey helpful great service

Absolutely amazing place, the food and atmosphere was fantastic and the service all night was outstanding.

I was welcomed and served with smiles & good service.

lovely atmosphere and lovely food with really sweet and kind staff, THANK YOU DANIEL 🙌🙌

This is a lovely pub in a beautiful setting, the food is always good especially the pizza, drinks reasonably priced and free parking is available if you enter your registration. Dog friendly with a wooded area nearby for River walk walks, Highly recommended especially in the summer.

Lovely pub. The food was really nice. We had starters, mains and dessert, all of which were nice. Great service too.

Yannis is a great host always happy to help

My Hubby and I had a great time here. Food was so lovely and service was really good with polite and friendly staff that were very accommodating ( Thank you Yannis). Would defo return and highly recommend

Highly recommend this lovely pub. The food is always delicious and reasonable prices too. Jannis was also an excellent, friendly waiter.

Love the garden and great service!

Service was great as ever, food delicious, looking forward to returning and sampling more dishes.

Food was very poor, cold food sent back , clearly reheated , kid meal dry and no gravy , would never eat there again ,

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!

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.

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic food with an amazing scenic view...

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.

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!

Picturesque place to eat and drink with lots of history. Lovely food and serice

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

Very nice atmosphere but slow service and food is expensive.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Delicious meal, excellent service and beautiful location.

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

Tina was lovely….. was amazing.

Great beer, friendly staff members.

Brilliant service by tina, amazing food as always highly recommend

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

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 friendly staff and very helpful

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.

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!

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. :)

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 💓

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
