The Swan in Sevenoaks

16 of us enjoyed great food and perfect service. Sue and her new team at the Swan gave us half the pub and the best Christmas meal together that I can remember, with menu choices that catered well for all of us.

This pub is under new management, so best ignore the old reviews. Stopped here for lunch today to be greeted by friendly landlords and good beer. They serve typical pub grub - not fancy food but good portions and reasonably priced. Apparently the Sunday Roast is proving popular. They deserve to do well.

I am being coming to this pub for 26 years and has always been a good community pub and dog friendly 10/10 staff very nice and friendly would recommend it

Well this pub is somewhat incredible, incredibly awful. The stench of dogs - the four large overbearing ones that run to you as you enter - is something else. If you have any reservations about large dogs, this is something I'd consider before entering. This place is grim and the visit was a mistake. The gaudy music machine, coin operated games, very bright lights over the pool table, loud music and - did I mention the stench of the place, the carpet and seats? Dogs toys strewn around the floor. Spectacularly awful establishment. Never, never again. Ever.

Great pub amazing staff beautiful dogs Came in for some food and it was amazing I had the lasagne my partner had the loaded burger we were both very pleased with the produce aswell as a fair priced couple of pints to accompany the meal Would strongly recommend

I have lived in Edenbridge for 8 years and I have never been to the Swan, so whilst out on my daily walk I decided to pop in for a quick pint! The staff and management team were lovely, friendly and very welcoming. I ended staying for 2 more pints and some food, Burger and Chips, which was really nice and excellent value! I will definitely return again for another pint!

We visited here last month with friends for drinks to be very disappointed at how unwelcoming and rude the landlady was. The service received was terrible, and there was an awful smell of cigarette smoke. The pub as a whole looked like it needed a good clean which is a shame as we were hoping to stay for food. The toilets had broken seats and overall disappointing to visit what could be a lovely pub. I wouldnt go back and i wouldnt recommend it being a place worth visiting. However the other pub the old eden is much nicer and i would definitely visit there when im in the area again.

This is a no frills, locals pub, but none the worse for that. Large garden and good ales, but don’t expect gourmand.

Walked here from Woldingham and hoped for some real ale and something to eat. Neither were available and we sat with a bag of crisps and faced a big screen showing Sky sports. Things went downhill from there as the landlady turned off the sound to the TV, put on the juke box with some loud heavy metal and then sat behind us listening to something else at top volume on her phone. We took the hint and left. I’m not saying this was a terrible experience just disappointing.

Had a lovely time. Brought my lady and male friend. Excitement was apparent and we all had a genuine good time. We witnessed honest tomfoolery at its finest which cemented our love for Edenbridge, Kent. Bar staff were amazing and it was an honest and lovely boozer

and it was alright It had potatoe and meat in it. Also had a bit of gravy which is nice. I also had vegetables which was healthy. I don't really like vegetables so I ususally put them in my handbag and take them home for the goldfish.

Driven by here many times and were looking for a lunch stop. From the photo above you would think it was lovely - no, The pub looks unloved and in need of a good scrub. We did order some food and ate it but I can't even made a comment about it. No, will not be going back. First impressions are so important!!

un petit pub sans prétention, certes un peu vieillot, mais on y a bien mangé, les portions sont très copieuses et c’est bon marché. un grand jardin calme. le service assez rapide pour de la cuisine faite sur demande. cela nous a bien dépannée. les commentaires très négatifs sont exagérés et à mon sens même mensongers. c’est à ce demander si ce ne sont pas des riverains qui font exprès de mettre de mauvais commentaires pour se venger des soirées musicales et mettre l’établissement en difficulté.

First visit (and last) . 3 of us early for a meeting so popped in here for lunch. Only us in here (apart from a gambler on slots). We waited 45 mins for our food because it was being “freshly cooked”. One of us had a meat pie which was ok. One had an omelette which was passable and I had a disgusting burger. The meat was awful and I could have broken a window with the bun. The chips were like greasy bullets. 3 x soft drinks and £38 bill. The worst thing was the toilet (gents) filthy and the whole pub was generally grubby and dusty. I believe there was a kitchen fire recently so I hope that’s all clean and new.

Not eaten in here but popped in for a drink. Kind of place everyone already knows each other and people turn and stare when you walk in. Friendly though so would go again if I was passing.

I am a pub landlord based in Cornwall whom recently visited my mother who lives in Kent. I am always interested in visiting other pubs. On arriving at The Swan I was greeted by a very friendly and cheerful barmaid who made me most welcome. The Carling lager tasted very fresh and was served in glasses which were clearly well renovated (cleaned regularly). There was a good hardcore of regulars in the bar whom had clearly done a good day's work. I thought that one of them rather overused the "F" word but as an experienced operator in the trade I know that there is often a balance to be achieved. Good outside areas well presented. Very much a traditional pub without any yuppie trimmings. In an age of pub closures and general apathy it is crucial that pubs like The Swan continue operating. Keep Going!!!!!

They have recently had a kitchen fire so they are unable to serve any food. They are not sure when they will be back up and running. Too bad as it looked really nice!

Ubicado justo fuera de Edenbridge en la carretera principal.Que se detuvo para comer por primera vez porque desde fuera del edificio que parecía un pub rural, pero una vez dentro, el sitio nos pareció muy normalito con un menú limitado.El personal era lo suficientemente amable, pero el sitio carece de ambiente, y la comida no era nada especial.

Staff are friendly, food is superb and the atmosphere is one of the best in the area!! Love this pub!

AS the titlew says really. Nice place with friendly staff and good selection of Beers. Nice size Garden too

I have been here on various occasions as it is my local pub. The landladys Jacky and Suzie work really hard to try to bring the pub back to being a "proper pub" with a pub grub menu and live music most weekends. I have read the other reviews on here and find them to be a bit unfair, with people commenting on issues that they know nothing about.

I went for a business lunch! I had the cottage pie which was very salty and the vegetables are from frozen. I wen a few years ago and the food used to be much better. Why not try and make a decent burger that can't be difficult! This will turn things around!

I went there specifically to see a band play that I like and the way they were treating was beyond words absolutely disgusting.

We popped in here for lunch and our first impressions were how cold the place was -

Our local pub being closed on New Years Eve for a private party, we headed for Edenbridge North to the Swan (never been there before) for just one drink before returning home for our own celebration.

We have been going here for sometime, the food is lovely and the atmosphere is friendly and always feel welcome. Top entertainment and quiz weekly, this place feels like home!!

Local pub with different judgements, Outside the centre, on the corner of B 2026 and Swan Lane. Open terrace on the frontside. Poor furniture outside and inside. We've got the experience to watch a selling of drugs to youngsters, who were sitting in the pavement. Low-class clentele. Low prices on the menucard (limited choices), but the portions are accordingly small. This pub is not my favousite, but everyone to his taste !

Changed management a while back and went through a bit of a slump but now most definitely on the right road. Trying very hard to make this a traditional local and it is working.

I've eaten in this pub in the past but not for a couple of years. Yesterday I found myself in need of a dog friendly pub for lunch with my daughter and 2 grandchildren (one in a high chair). I rang ahead and checked they were happy to have a dog which they confirmed. As expected because we had the dog with us we needed to eat in the bar area but this wasn't a problem and as expected. The decor of this place in now very shabby and not inviting. The menu was a typical pub menu and I opted for the homemade soup of the day. When they said it was tomato soup I checked that it was homemade which they confirmed. This was the most disappointing bowl of soup I've ever had. It was creamy in nature and tasted like a watery version of one that comes out of a can. My daughter tasted it and said it seemed more like a packet soup mix to her. Maybe that's their version of 'homemade' but it's not what I was expecting. It was served with one of those heated up baguettes that are just doughy inside. The children opted for a fish finger sandwich and these fish fingers had been deep fried and over cooked. The service was poor with us having to ask a couple of times for the high chair to be brought to our table and then for drinks to be served. The only redeeming thing was the fact that I was able to have the dog with me but I would never use this pub again unless they completely change their customer skills and the chef.

Had the fish and chips here on our last day in England. The best chips we had for the whole three weeks. Yummy.

If you are looking for somewhere for a hot tasty , well cooked and satisfying Sunday lunch then you should head towards the swan in edenbridge and when you arrive there DO NOT STOP , CARRY ON DRIVING AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE ! unless of course you are looking for somewhere where you can sample tasteless roast beef cooked to the texture of shoe leather , accompanied by undercooked rock hard deep fried potatoes ,a tasteless mush of broccoli and cauliflower in an unidentifiable wallpaper paste like sauce, a delightful medley of frozen then stewed mixed vegetables all swimming in a pool of brownish dish water ! The quality of the ingredients and the cooking was beautifully enhanced by it being served stone cold , incredibly even after it being microwaved to heat it up the potatoes were still not cooked enough to be edible and could only really be suitable to be used as missiles to throw at the incompetent "chef" !

Good for a casual beer with the locals. They try hard and attract the younger folk and those who like poker. The open mic night's are supposed to be good.

This pub could be very good but it is let down by the poor calibre of the staff.

I've been to the swan a few times, the beer is averagely kept, and the food represents the price. You can get a decent plate of food for around £6 to £9. It has a massive garden which in the warmer months is great for the kids to run around. Service is ok. While it is not a pub I would rave about, I will go back.

The girl who served us didn't smile once,she brought our food to the table and not once was she friendly, hardly anyone in pub at lunch time,so sad it used to be such a nice pub and busy, the food was fine it was only sandwiches,we all ate them . When we were leaving we all said goodbye and she didn't reply ,she was leaning on the counter with her head on it. Doubt we will be back .it used to be a friendly pub.

Just a bit disappointing. We went for a Monday lunch and had to wait 15 minutes at the bar before anyone appeared, the food was ok but menu very limited and slightly concerned I would suffer later on after the sausage baguette...

Ordered fish and chips with salad which was excellent. The cook has his own recipe for a waldorf-like salad and it was a pleasant surprise. Fish and chips were good also.

We moved to this pub from the 'King Henry viii' pub at Hever (our local) after they made us very unwelcome, I have also added a review about them so wont go into detail here.

Fantastic place to come with children. Fenced garden with a goal for kids to play and a BBQ on later on with a children's option. Service was friendly and We spend a enjoyable afternoon celebrating end of term today. Shall be returning for sure.

We have eaten here once before but the Sunday Lunch was one to remember. The pub is very much a local, the bar staff friendly and welcoming. We did book in advance along with the rest of the tables which were all full. The choice of meat was amazing with and endless fresh supply. The vegetable choice an unbelievable 9 different vegetables! Lovely homemade Yorkshire puddings, and gravy so full of flavour it was amazing. Hubby had a mega roast and had two large slices each of pork, beef, gammon and a large chicken breast quarter ( he is a big eater!). We had two desserts which were ok but not quite the standard of the roast. With drinks, coffee etc the bill was under £40.00 for us both amazing. We will be returning.

Our experience of this pub/restaurant confirms the old adage: you get what you pay for. The food was acceptable but the presentation was awful. Our starters came without any trimmings, salad or garnish and the main course was presented in the same fashion. The staff were pleasant enough but they themselves could have looked a little more presentable. It was a Saturday night and bells should have rung when we saw that the car park was virtually empty with very few people in the bar and eating area and with no bitter beer available as they had 'run out of gas. It's cheap and cheerful and ideal if you just want something to keep you going but not the place for a special night out.

very good value for money ,very good service ,very friendly service ,will use again would recomend to anybody

This is a lovely pub with a great garden for the summer. Friendly staff too. Have not tried the food here yet.

We been to The Swan on a few occassions and have always thought it value for money and could not be bettered! But they have. Just tried their new monday club menu. £8.45 for two courses and 2 for 1 desserts £4.25. Not smaller portions as expected but the usual size! Great value and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. We will be using this as a regular Monday venue in the future. The music has always been one of the main reasons for our visiting, good standards from 50s & 60s none of this thumping noise you get in so many other pubs.

We visited this pub on a Wednesday lunchtime in October on our way to Heaver Castle. It was surprisingly busy, with a wide age range of customers, including a number of senior citizens (who qualify for a £1.00 discount on main courses). The pub was tastefully decorated, and the beams in the bar had a large number of splendid copper utensils. There were 3 real ales, at reasonable prices, and the food was well cooked, and the portions were good. 2 beers, a coffee, and 3 main courses came to £24. There was discreet background music, and as it was country pop, just spot on.

We have visited the Swan on about 6-7 times before and always had a reasonable good valued meal. last night was a different affair. It was quite evident that it was the landlords night off. Service was slow and the waitress more interested in playing the fruit machine.

The pub is run by Nick and Steve who have done a marvellous job in creating a friendly atmosphere since they took over. the running of it. The Sunday carvery is fantastic value for money and there is a choice of bitter beers.

We have been here a number of times and it gets pretty booked up on a Sunday lunchtime. There are sometimes some spare tables in the bar area and if the weather is fine the garden is ok. The food on the carvery is plentiful and varied, the only thing I'm not keen on is the mash potato (always seems a bit gluey to me) but other than that a good value meal if you don't fancy cooking.
