The Stanhope Arms in Sevenoaks - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It was my first time at the Stanhope Arms, we had a lovely evening. The service and food were good. Would definitely come again.

Great village pub. We were a family group of 5 and had an excellent meal. The The starters were well received and the Ceasar Salad was notable as it was ginormous and very tasty. The puddings were OK but not particularly exciting.

Lovely pub friendly staff and great food

Last year, this was quite a special place. But, in my last two visits the quality of the food and the service has been disappointing. It’s not bad, it’s just very average. I hope the place returns to the previous standard as the interior of the pub is great, but the the food and the service leaves you wanting.

Lovely evening with great food and a bustling atmosphere .

Absolutely lovely roasts. Chicken Supreme / Beef tenderloin / Pork Belly (£18.90) was very lovely cooked, nice and crunchy crackling and a sensible portion. Garlic butter seared tender stem brocoli. Ovened mini-carrots very tasty. Potatoes were sufficient and average for a pub. Lovely gravy (which is "bottomless") Cauliflower cheese would have been £4 extra. (Which is cheeky when already paying best part of 20 quid for a roast which is one of the more cost effective dishes to produce). Interesting concise selection of starters. The venue is marvellously decorated in a traditional yet not old fashioned style. 2x dining rooms each with about 30 seats. Garden is absolutely beautiful and very well maintained with sections and a BBQ area. Staff are wonderful... super friendly and attentive.

Terrific country pub, great friendly service. Good real ales. Lovely food.

A hidden gem, off the beaten track. Idyllic setting, next to the church. Stylishly modernised interior. Limited menu of pub staples but well cooked and presented with generous portions. Pleasant garden. Friendly staff. Small car park but there is more parking in the spacious church car park just along the road.

Very nice place to go, havent been there in years. Friendly staff, top notch, highly recommended!!!

Great staff,.providing great service and food

1st ever visit & we loved it. Very friendly staff

Very good quiz , good selection of Ales. Didn't eat but what I saw coming through looked very tempting.

Brilliant place, lovely polite staff, food is very good but not a large choice to choose from

As usual a fabulous meal. We took our friends over from Amsterdam and they loved it. We will definately be back.

Lovely pub, good classic tavern atmosphere

Warm & friendly staff, & reasonably priced tasty food. We will return.

We visited for Sunday lunch and found the place relatively quiet at our arrival time. We had reserved a table in advance, so we were quickly seated and ready to order. The service was prompt and the menu, while straightforward, offered a good variety of dishes. The staff were courteous and attentive without being intrusive. As for the food, it arrived in a reasonable timeframe and the portions were good. However, I'm giving the food 3 stars because the fish and chips, a dish I had high expectations for, was somewhat bland and disappointing, especially considering its status as a near-national dish. The pub itself is very clean with both indoor and outdoor seating that is quite inviting. Overall, a decent experience but with some room for improvement in the food.

Fantastic food. Texan burger is amazing. Friendly staff. Nice location. Tucked away, off the main road and next to an old church. Has a nice garden area. Suitable to take kids and dogs. I will definitely be going here again.

Very good and very pretty pub. Free parking nearby.

Incredible pub, couldn't ask for more.

First visit to the Stanhope Arms. A very pleasant experience. Edie & Ruby were attentive without being intrusive. Edie noticed & acted on a request on our online booking. The food was delicious. Particularly liked the little addition to my dessert. We were there talking long after all other diners had left but there was no suggestion that they wanted us to leave. We may well make another visit.

Visited the Stanhope for Sunday lunch and was deeply disappointed. The food took nearly an hour and a half to arrive and was woefully over cooked. Burnt roast potatoes, burnt cauliflower cheese and pastry that was rock hard. My Son was treating me to a birthday lunch, but this was nothing at all special, and at £40 a head, very much over priced.

We have been a couple of times now for drinks on a dog walk and also for food! Super dog friendly and everyone is so lovely! Will definitely be revisiting soon

We go quite often food is great, staff are friendly

Never disappointing here. The food is always consistently amazing and the service is great. Beautiful place with a top notch drink selection. It’s cheap and all around an amazing experience, not much reason to go anywhere else in the area!

Ok place food not good staff were very rude

Lovely stop for lunch, staff very helpful. Food was lovely, and pub had a nice warm atmosphere. Put too busy, parking 50m down the road in church car park (free)

This afternoon I had the pleasure of visiting The Stanhope Arms. Throughout my visit, from the point of entering the venue to my exit, myself and my party made to feel very welcome. We smiled at from the bar by a very welcoming gentleman behind the bar, whom I later found out to be Chris. We were given Sunday menus and we were shown to a table where our drinks order was taken. We all chose different items from the menu however this did not prove any sort of an issue as relatively quickly, when the time came for the food to come all meals were not only presented beautifully and looking incredibly appetising the taste did not disappoint either. With some of the party then going on to order puddings as well. This is one of the best meals we have had out for a long time, which was made all the more enjoyable by the extremely friendly team of the Stanhope Arms whom it would appear are one great big welcoming family. Thoroughly recommend the Katsu Curry, The Stanhope Burger, The Sunday Roasts, with Beef, Gammon and Turkey being big hits with the group and the waffle for pudding.

First visit here, on a Thursday lunchtime. Pleasant enough staff. Nice traditional pub with modern decor. Had the katsu curry which I thought was a bit watery and overpriced for the standard. Had the syrup sponge and custard which was delicious. More custard would be welcome. Pub isn't responsible for their customers conduct...but seeing 3 mums boozing at lunchtime swearing in front of a young child I thought was pretty trashy. Unfortunately that was my takeaway memory. Sometimes Kent is the garden of England...sometimes it's just Essex south of the river.

nice but they started clearing the table before everyone had finished, a bit unprofessional i think, but nice food

Lovely pub. Great garden for the summer. Good food. Cold beer. What more could you ask for 👌

Amazing food and great staff. Such a warm atmosphere in doors and the garden is super cute, with a playarea for the kids

Fantastic pub and grub, always made to feel welcome, always go back....

This is a fantastic country pub which has an amazing ambience, some what busier than expected but it makes sense due to the selection of beers and great food. There is a bustling bar area and a separate restaurant dining area. They were very accommodating towards my 4 year old and the waitress was very attentive towards conversing with her which was lovely. The other diners and us were chatting during dinner, the crowd here is pleasant. Our food was delicious and a reasonable price, despite being busy the food also came out within a quick time as the staff are very efficient and well managed. I had the prawns for starter and sea bass for mains, both were amazing. I would like to go back here, especially as they serve my favourite beer Hoffmeister which was fresh and poured perfectly. My partner had the burger and chips and said his burger was also really tasty! The brownie was delicious, well presented with flowers and a side of ice cream Thumbs up all round.

Great food and service. Great staff

Good food. Very wide selection of beers and ale. Friendly staff.

Very friendly efficient service with an 11/10 for the Sunday roast. Best roast we've ever eaten in a pub anywhere - superb.

A great pub that is going from strength to strength,, The food is of restaurant quality and not your average pub grub,, I've slowly eaten my way through the menu,, It's also updated every few months, A good choice of drinks on draught and some nice wines,, It's certainly a hidden little gem

I love this place 😍 food is great and staff are on point. Pick the right night and see some love bands 👍🏼

A great little pub in the heart of the countryside. I visited at lunch time on a Sunday and it was fairly busy, but I managed to find a table with ease. I parked in the church carpark next door, I hope that is OK, church people should comment. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food that I ordered came quickly. It was delicious. I had the beef sunday roast and the only thing that I can think of as a negative comment, was that the Yorkshire pudding could have been crispier. The garden caters well for children and the tables are spaced well apart. Well worth a visit.

Food was lovely and very generous servings. Great atmosphere with a jazz band playing. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely pub. Great food and a pint. Toilets exceptional well decorated and super clean. Well done....

Really beautiful pub, clean and welcoming. Lovely garden and atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpful. Super!

A lovely pub and nicely situated in a country setting with garden. Our first visit here for a Sunday roast but sadly won't be returning as not good value for money. At £18.25 for the roast beef we would have expected more on the plate. Veg consisted of one small head of broccoli (no stalk), tiny parsnip and a table spoon of pureed carrots. The roast potatoes were overcooked and were very small (think one spud cut into 4). Plus teaspoon size of stuffing. A large Yorkshire on top to conceal the small size. A same as we had high expectations after reading the reviews 😕.

Really nice local pub with good food and very friendly service. Brasted is lucky to have it! :)

Excellent, best of the local 3 in my opinion.

One of my favourite Pubs to visit year in year out. Fantastic menu, generous portion sizes with high quality food, beer choice is brilliant and always tastes perfect (no flat, tasteless beer here). Customer service is fantastic, always pleasant and happy to help. Big old garden with more than enough seating, with rain and sun cover. Football and ping pong set up for the kids.

Lovely place service very attentive our dinner was nice chicken full of flavour and juicy but rest was overdone and Yorkshire was more than crunchy. Overall hwd a pleasant experience.

What can I say about The Stanhope Arms fantastic atmosphere staff are really friendly and helpful. Took my mum there for lunch and couldn't fault it one bit. The food was lovely and tasty and this showed by every table inside and in the garden full. Will definitely be attending again in the near future

Amazing food, excellent atmosphere and fantastic service x

Brilliant food, lasagne and veggie burger was very good.

Friendly staff, tasty food, great service! £17 for a beefburger which was expensive tbh

Great place to visit for food. Garden very well-maintained Kid and dog friendly. Popped in for a snack had the sharing platter more than happy. No down load app to order or card only nonsense here.

Staff brilliant, friendly but professional. My main course was ok, wished I had had the curry, two people in my party had it and they said it was wonderful. Puddings were very tasty. Would go back.

We had a lovely meal for 4 today at 1. I had the chicken curry and roulade. Absolutely brilliant. So busy loads of people for a tuesday. And my Malbec was lovely. The waitress was a Crystal palace fan and chatted to us and had a laugh. Would recommend and definitely visit again. If this weather continues would love to sit outside. Thank you.

We spent a Friday lunch here having decided to go for a drive from our local area. 30mins and we found this gem. The staff attentiveness is second to none. I recommend the chicken Caesar salad and a glass of their crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Beautiful gardens, fun for kids and adults alike. Special shout out to Lou, Fleur & Alice for your hospitality - thank you We look forward to coming back soon!

A wonderful pub in a wonderful setting. Great service, food and general ambiance. Large beer garden that is well kept perfect for the sunny day we visited.

Lovely staff, nice food and lovely well decorated pub and restaurant.

Lovely food, it's dog friendly, and it has a lovely outdoor area. You can hear the M25, but that doesn't detract from the overall experience.

Very good food. Nice outdoor area.

did not go in as I was just working nearby

I've been here a few times now and it is a lovely pub / restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff are all polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place

Great pub off the beaten path, fresh decor, good garden for adults and kids, good food at a fair price, warm welcome and service from engaging staff. Highly recommended. A+++

Roast options were sublime, great service too and fairly priced! Recommend!

Loved it,food was great and staff were amazingly attentive. Great pub

Ok food, ok pub. Food could be improved but by no means was it bad. I will go back for a non roast and update this post accordingly

Excellent! Good food, nice beer and great staff!

Visited for the first time on Saturday after putting it on my ‘places to try’ list after a diversion on the A25 took me past it. What a little gem! The staff were so friendly and helpful, they had a really nice selection on the menu (so nice to see light bites and jacket potatoes on a menu!) and the food was excellent. Will definitely be back!

Had a lovely pub lunch today with the kids - sat outside where there is a good climbing frame/slide and a couple of swings to keep them busy. Great food and friendly service.

Fantastic staff, food looks wonderful and a lovely pint of ale.

My husband and I took a lovely muddy walk across the fields from Westerham to the pub today for lunch. Brilliant, great selection of beers, delicious food 😋 Can't wait to visit again! Might become a regular Saturday treat.

Pleasant pub tucked away from the A25 up a lane next to the church. Good selection of local and national real ales with a good selection of food from snacks to full meals. Very helpful staff.

Lovely refurbed pub, great atmosphere, very good food and excellent service

Went past the Stanhope Arms many times but this was my first time stopping for food and drink. Lovely pub!

Friendly service, decent beer selection and good food. See pics. Hobgoblin Session IPA is a good addition to the Keg beers on tap.

Food is top quality. Staff are polite and helpful

I would go back again, the food is amazing and the waitresses/waiters are so helpful, and polite. Prices for drinks are a lot better than most pubs nowadays. Thankyou to all your staff xxx

Had a function there. Good service and atmosphere.

Lovely, friendly pub. Food was excellent and a good selection. Best of all there was proper pies.

Lovely pub with delightful staff and excellent food.

Visited for birthday lunch & restaurant was v busy. Kelly, our waitress, provided excellent service throughout & advised us on arrival there might be 20-30m wait for food as large party in, but 10-15m wait was perfectly acceptable. Excellent food, (moroccan tangine was melt in the mouth), plenty of choice on the menu, & loved the balsamic glaze with olive oil & breads, just genius! Cheaper Prosecco was very enjoyable too, & appreciated recommendation over more expensive brand. Definitely recommend it, & look forward to returning soon, hopefully for Sunday lunch!

Loved it .Great food ,great service as usual .Great pub

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely Sunday lunch.

Great service, lovely food. Really nice pub in a country setting.

Good food, good selection of beers and friendly staff. Dogs welcome

The sticky toffee pudding is the best I have ever tasted. Overall the food was superb. Delicious and served by such lovely staff. Credit to you guys. Keep it up cos we will be back.

Friendly atmosphere and good value for money meals A very good selection from the menu for a local pub Well worth calling in to visit

Lovely country pub located in Brasted just off the village centre. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, our lunch was very enjoyable. Will definitely revisit.

Great country pub with good food and live music

First time we've been there. A really nice atmosphere good food and beer, with friendly staff. The only fault is we don't live in walking distance. It would make an excellent local

Our first time back since the refurbishment. Helpful and friendly service from Kelly. Fabulous meal, generous portions; bring your appetite.
