The White Hart in Sevenoaks

We love going to The White Hart, we meet family there and everyone can bring their dogs. Not really sure who likes it more the humans or the canines.

Great food and attentive staff in spacious surroundings, what's not to like.

A great Sunday roast. We had a great late roast here but fair warning, it is super popular and very busy, so please book! Food was great, little play park for the kids and staff very attentive. Overall highly recommend.

Delicious food, good variety of options including the mini pudding and hot drink combination, very friendly service and lovely setting

Had a lovely lunch in the sunshine. Crispy beef salad was very very good, would happily return for that alone!

Booked a Mother’s Day meal for my wife and 2 small children. From the minute we arrived the service was welcoming, friendly and homely. Despite it clearly being busy, the organisation and attentiveness was first rate; even letting us play with the children outside and calling us when food was ready. The food was superb and fairly priced. Big thank you to the entire team!

Top marks all around. The service was excellent from the start and very attentive. We had starters, mains and deserts which were all absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend

I ordered the light bites Steak sandwich followed by a small pudding with coffee included, all of which was which was delicious, and plenty to eat. My only niggle was the prosecco which tasted rather flat. Otherwise, nice ambience, clean loos and lovely decor.

Excellent service, friendly staff, a menu that demonstrates originality rather than just ‘dressing up’ standard pub grub! Lovely ambience out on the terrace (first time eating Al fresco this year!). This was our second visit to the White Hart and I can see it becoming a favourite!

Can't fault this pub. It was a super busy Sunday and yet everything was perfect. Staff were genuinely welcoming and attentive. Food was delicious and I love the homely traditional country pub vibe the whole place exudes. I will definitely return.

Always good for a visit, a bite to eat and a lovely environment

I think this is the best roast dinner I've ever had! We have roast pork belly and could not fault it.

Completely screwed up our booking and were not helpful when we arrived. Their loss.

We had a lovely meal.waitress was very nice.All the staff was friendly and helpful.Food was cooked to perfection.Would definitely come back again.

I have a shellfish allergy, but love fish. so I rang The White Hart in advance of our visit. The staff could not have been more helpful and the chef (Raj?) even came to the phone to talk to me. He took all the stress away with his understanding and totally accommodated my needs. Thank you very much for an excellent lunch for four and the good service.

Went to another place in Underriver where they were “too busy”, made us feel unwelcome and treated me with contempt. I looked for an alternative and thankfully discovered the white hart. Friendly and accommodating the staff offered what they could (also very busy) then the food was very good sat in the heated outdoor area. Lots of families and groups of all ages there enjoying themselves.

We looked for a country pub restaurant near to where we were staying and found the White Hart. We found very friendly staff and very good food. I would highly recommend the sausage main course.

Amazing, 5 star restaurant. We ate there today and had a fantastic, high-quality meal in this extremely popular and busy restaurant. Despite them being extremely, they managed to fit us in. We were treated with a warm welcome, and the pub restaurant has a lovely, warm, friendly atmosphere. We only wish we lived local, as this would have definitely become a regular for us.

Our favourite place to go the atmosphere, food and service is just amazing everytime 👌 the portion sizes are great and everything is super tasty

I took my wife to the White Hart for valentines. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff fully accommodating towards my wife’s dietary requirements (Coeliac)and the food was excellent. I had the mushroom soup starter and Black Angus Fillet for main. Definitely going back 10/10.

Rare to get great food (good selection too) with such excellent service in a pub nowadays. This does both. Great meeting point for a lunch before walking in Knole Park.

Best pub award goes to this pub!!

A great pub, we had the Sunday Roast lunch here, and the food and service were very good. Staff were polite and attentive. The grown-up Eton Mess was delightful.

excellent food, best pub i’ve been to in the uk, great service

What a lovely pub. My friend and I had been out for a walk and we ended up having a wonderful pie and mash here. Great atmosphere, lovely food and reasonably priced too. Will definitely return

Lovely cosy pub/restaurant, visited today for lunch without booking and staff were more than happy to find us a table. We were seated next to beautiful log burning fire. We didn’t have to wait long at all for table service to order which was good considering they were busy. We ordered from the lite bite part of menu, I ordered the quiche and my colleagues had the steak sandwich’s, all the food arrived hot and fresh and tasted delicious. Everyone enjoyed! thank you to the friendly and accommodating staff at the white hart

Excellent pub. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, highly recommended.

This is a very pretty pub, full of history on his walls. The atmosphere is cosy. The food was tasty and the staff attentive. They seem to be busy, especially because the pub is right next to the country park. It is advisable to reserve a table. The car park is small, it was difficult to find space. Highly recommended.

Excellent menu choice, staff attentive. Setting lovely. Very good experience overall. Definitely be back again. Went back again for my husband's birthday last night. Service was not good. First they let our table that we specifically booked 3 weeks ago. But to be fair they did sort it out eventually. Then they kept forgetting things or mishearing orders which was frustrating. It was a shame as the food was aa good as last time. Maybe it eas just an off night. Considering it was a Thursday it was absolutely full Third visit. Went with friends. Couldn't find our booking even though the person taking booking called me by name when taking booking. Found us a table. Service good. However menu not as good as usual

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Need to fix the taps in the Gents though.

We visited The White Hart and, despite it being very busy, we were warmly welcomed and accommodated. The service was prompt, friendly, and thoroughly satisfying. However, the highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the food. We enjoyed the duck leg, beef bourguignon (bit differently served than expected), and a kid's beef burger ordered by one of the youngest members of our group. The food was packed with flavour, hearty, and perfectly suited to the season – exactly what we needed after a long stroll in January's Knole Park. Portions were generous yet well-balanced, leaving us very content. The pub’s décor is typical of an old country pub, clean, and clearly well-maintained. There's also a great outdoor space with a playground and a good-sized car park next to the pub. A standout feature worth mentioning is their allergen QR code, which leads to a detailed menu with a very handy selective filter – incredibly thoughtful. We’ll definitely be back, as there’s no need to look for another place to eat in the Sevenoaks area. Kudos to everyone involved! 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

First time eating here, the car park is quite large , so parking is ok we arrived around 6.10pm , the atmosphere is great , friendly pub vibes . The bar wait was a little while but it was busy. We had a table booked for 6 of us . Staff friendly , asked throughout the meal if everything was ok , if we needed drinks or sauces when mains arrived. Starters were lovely and a nice gap between starters , mains and dessert. All the food that we had was amazing only criticism would be the Cajun chicken burger was a little dry. The halloumi fries are amazing and so is the cheese board , I would maybe recommend serving butter with the cheese board , we did ask and we were given some, also maybe a chutney 😍 Disability wise the main door isn't great , but if you're with someone it's ok , I was on one crutch I found the Access to the disabled toilet was absolutely fine. Also a changing table in the disabled toilet. I would definitely eat here again when out with family. Price is a little high for the food for 6 of us - 6 starters, 6 mains , 5 desserts , 12 drinks came too £345.00

A large inviting pub on the road south out of Sevenoaks. This was my first visit, a member of a group of a dozen or do people joining for a social lunch. To be brief, the food was awful. I ordered a duck leg and it came overcooked and dried out and charred in places , with no sauce to moisten it. Had I not been a member of a social group I would have sent it back to the kitchen. A disappointing £25. Discussion after lunch revealed a widespread dissatisfaction, so it was not only me. Having said that everything else was fine. A great place, good and friendly service on what was a crowded and busy day, and a willingness to cope with diet restrictions. So what went wrong with the food? My duck looked like it had been pre-cooked and reheated under a grill for a little too long. The problem should have been detected in the kitchen at the time of plating. Had this not happened I would have given the food 4±1 stars depending on taste, presentation, etc. I do not want to believe that this happens regularly.

Such a lovely pub. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They do fantastic roast dinners too. Highly recommended it.

Had an excellent value relaxed lunch at the White Hart after a winter walk in Knole Park. The gluten free Chicken pie was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed being in the warm bar area. Many thanks

Busy and popular - you need to book!

Good service good food and car parking.

Really nice place for either a drink or food. Booking is essential at the weekend of you want to eat, although they will serve you at the bar. Great place to bookend a walk over Knowle Park.

Pretty average. Fish and chips were “fine”. Beer was “fine”. Told I was early for my booking after I had told the lady on the desk that I was early for my booking - which always makes me laugh as they had space (you can usually tell a lot from that particular greeting).

Great food with quick service. Very good location (next to Knole Park).

A very nice Christmas day meal. Will definitely be going again.

We were taken here on a Sunday evening by a relative. Full, but not impossible, service friendly but not overwhelming, food excellent and timely. We only had a main course each but the whole experience was p;leasant and just what we needed.

This is your quintessential English countryside pub but with an excellent and diverse menu. Our favourite place in Sevenoaks. Sunday roast is a classic but their regular menu also has a wide selection of great choices. P.S. our picky eater niece says the customer garlic buttered noodles are the best she’s ever had…

Excellent boxing day family lunch Very well looked after by Danny Thank you

The White Hart: Where Cosy Meets Classy (and the Chips Are Worth Writing Home About) The White Hart in Sevenoaks isn’t just a pub – it’s a destination. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick pint, a celebratory dinner, or because you’ve heard whispers of their legendary Sunday roast, this place delivers on all fronts. It’s like walking into your best friend’s living room – if your best friend had a flair for rustic chic and a kitchen that could win Michelin stars for its gravy. The décor is that perfect blend of “posh country pub” and “please spill nothing on these beautifully upholstered chairs.” Wooden beams, roaring fireplaces, and just the right amount of candlelight make it feel like the kind of place Jane Austen characters would meet for a pint after a long day of matchmaking. Now, let’s talk about the menu. This isn’t your standard pub grub – oh no. The food here is elevated. The fish and chips? So crispy and golden, you’ll be tempted to write them a sonnet. The burgers? Juicy enough to make you question every sad barbecue you’ve ever attended. And don’t even get me started on the sticky toffee pudding – it’s so good it probably comes with its own fan club. Drinks-wise, they’ve got you covered. Fancy a craft beer? Sorted. Want a glass of wine so smooth you’ll feel like you’re in Tuscany? They’ve got that too. And the bar staff? Legends. They’ll chat with you like old mates while expertly pouring your drink, making you feel like a VIP in your own local. The outdoor seating is another win. On a sunny day, the garden is a little slice of Kentish heaven. Dogs are welcome, kids are welcome, and if you happen to be wearing wellies after a countryside ramble, no one will bat an eye. It’s the kind of place where everyone fits in – even the deer from Knole Park would feel at home. The White Hart is everything you want a pub to be: warm, welcoming, and with food so good you’ll consider moving in. Five stars – and an extra one for the chips. They’re that good.

Staff were amazing. They went out of their way to accommodate a few special requests for our children. This was our second time back - the Sunday roast is the best we’ve had at a pub in Kent. Pork belly in particular is incredible! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for fab service and food with actual flavour.

Went for a Christmas Dinner and as usual we had a great meal. Everything cooked beautifully and service with a smile. I spotted Affogato on the menu so had that instead of pud as its unusual to find it on menus. Husband had the mini pud which was topped with cranberries which were great. Our server, home from Uni, was engaging and caring of our needs. He lifted the experience for us. We didn't get his name but were seated up by the loos with a lunchtime sitting. We are frequent visitors and it never disappoints.

Lovely pub. One of the best in the area. Really good pub food. The service is top quality, the staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. Need to book a table though as it’s so popular & the cat park is tight!

Stumbled upon this place whilst needing to find somewhere to stop due to travelling with young children. Went to try our luck to get a table for dinner and despite it being busy with Christmas parties, they happily accommodated us. The place was buzzing but felt like higher end place to eat rather than pub dinner. The choices were good , especially for gf, served quickly and was tasty. Only criticism is that I’m not convinced the fish cakes were homemade, but the portions were generous. Really lovely attentive staff. Thanks for accommodating us and we hope to visit again on a planned trip next time.

Went for dinner. Duck salad amazing perfectly crispy. Mulled wine nice. Sad times they ran out of mulled cider. Would deffo come back and eat all the same over again!

This is lovely, has masses of g-f foods and has a relaxed atmosphere

Great pub. Good selection of food and wine. Popular place so parking can be challenging.

The menu is good, definitely on the pricey side. Roast menu on Sundays is great and worth the money. The service is usually great, fast and friendly staff, but on the odd occasion you may find yourself waiting for a while. Parking gets tricky closer to 1pm, however it is free. Booking highly advised, it gets really busy.

Elevated up market pub with good food..very successful ( car park full at peak times).. seems to create returning customers which says it all..

We are here almost monthly , always accommodate us , food is great , atmosphere is ok , what More can I say ? In fact we will be there on 1st Sunday of Nov .

Very nice place for a relaxing lunch. Booking advised - it's a popular place.

Excellent place to eat. Waiting staff etc very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent and the only reason it’s not a 5 star is the additional cauliflower cheese was not as good as the rest of the meal

Had lunch with friends and family today. Nice friendly staff. Lovely food. A great place to eat. Will visit again when in the area.c

I pushed my Mum in her wheelchair through Sevenoaks' narrow streets, past busy cafés and noisy restaurants with tiny doors and steep steps and eventually found ourselves outside the town walking up the long hill past Knole park. We arrived at The White Hart hot, dishevelled and inappropriately dressed for the occasion but were welcomed in and seated though the place was very busy. The staff could not have been more helpful, understanding and courteous. Despite our late arrival we were allowed time to relax before ordering and then we were treated to some of the best food we have had in the Kent/Sussex area EVER! (We are not young or inexperienced in these matters) Every care and consideration was afforded us and we stayed for extra drinks just to enjoy the experience for a little longer. I cannot thank the staff or praise the chefs enough. The presentation and flavours of the food were superb. We are already planning to gather more family members and book another experience in the near-as-possible future. The decor, ambience and cleanliness were comfortable, welcoming and faultless. Thank you so much to everyone at The White Hart for turning a disaster of a day into one of our favourite memories. We look forward to returning many times.

Great country pub feel, friendly staff, delicious food and dog friendly! Garden was great for a run around for the kids and has a little play area for them. I had the salmon and prawn Laksa which was recommended and it was incredible! Thank you for having us team White Hart

Had Sunday lunch very good food and service. Was going this Sunday also but cancelled due to the poor menu, beef pink or pork. Rest of menu fish and chips and heavy on Vegetarian .

An excellent experience all round. Food was great but it’s clear the service makes all the difference. Sitting down at 4pm on a Sunday; the pub was already incredibly busy - table was cleared within 5 minutes of arrival and the first thing that struck was just how many staff were available and incredibly efficient. An amazing team make any business tick and it was refreshing to experience it first hand. Helped keep the old folks happy for their 50th anniversary too so thank you to each and everyone in today. (John John!) Also a side note - menu was abundant with gluten free options and all of the staff catered to it exceptionally well. Kudos.

The food was really good but a bit overpriced. Staff were nice, they allow dogs which always works for me. It was freezing in there however, if it was cosier we would have stayed for another drink or two.

Been eating at the White Hart for years and never had a bad experience. Very good with food intolerances to the extent, having been forewarned that one of our party had extreme intolerances, they rang on the morning to check that the special dishes they were preparing were OK. You can’t get better than that. Been with groups and couples and service always excellent Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. My favourite go to eatery.

This is a lovely period building which hasn’t been turned into a ubiquitous, stripped pine, characterless space, but it’s retained its period charm. The interior is spacious with many dining areas, but there’s a rather charming intimacy about The White Hart which ensures more visits from me. We hadn’t booked for dinner, but arrived on spec and were given a pleasant table. Staff are lovely, very friendly without being intrusive and self-assured without being arrogant. I opted for duck leg and fondant potato as my main, my companion, for chicken. Food was well-cooked, well-seasoned, flavoursome and a refreshing change from the usual “pub grub” The White Hart is a very good place.

The menu was mussels dominated as it was mussels week so maybe the menu wasn’t as varied as usual. Nevertheless the food was good and the service timely. It’s always nice to see small dessert and drink on the menu.

Always a joy coming to the White Hart as the food and service is always of high standard for me.

Beautiful roast dinner. Kids were welcome too, good little playground. Fab service too xoxo

The White Hart is a really friendly, welcoming pub. The food was good but a bit pricey. The staff were excellent- quick, efficient and smiley (even on a busy Saturday!). The bonus was being allowed to take our dogs in.

A nice pub close to Knole Park and accessible via the trail and a gate leading to the main road where it's situated. We stopped in for a couple of beers, there's plenty of choice and they're reasonably priced. The pub itself is traditional and quirky, with plenty of tables and space. There's a small beer garden out back with around 8 to 10 tables. Service is quick and friendly.

Absolutely the best Sunday roast I have ever eaten .. worth the journey from London alone .. will be back

Great pub great friendly staff didn't eat here maybe next time but all the food we did see looked fantastic.

We had a lovely Sunday roast here today. We hadn't booked and although the pub was busy but we were shown to a table within 5 mins. I was impressed by our waiter Alex, who was very enthusiastic and helpful. The food came out so quickly and the portions were huge! We didn't even have to ask for for water, it was automatically put on the table. We're not local but will be back when we visit Knole Park again.

Superb two course meals for two with drinks! Finest Kind! We will repeat visits 2-4 times per month. Great Expectations as each W H person in contact with us was warm and welcoming. First Class 🍾🍾🍾

Really quick service! Great food and beautiful garden!

Lovely pub, with very friendly staff. We had Sunday roast. Let down by the roast potatoes which were grim. Noticed people like us had left their potatoes uneaten.

Overcooked beef, chewy and bland a real shame, roast potatoes weren’t particularly nice so overall a bad experience and would not recommend,definitely not value for the money.

Nice gardens visited on a scorching day with good shaded areas available. Service is very efficient and friendly. My meal was not fantastic but perfectly good. My other guests were very happy with their fish and chips. Very dog friendly and water brought for my dog. A handy place to meet in-between Hastings and London and easy to access.

Really amazing for gluten free. Lovely fish and chips.

We had a lovely meal and drinks on a Saturday evening . The staff were really nice and service was good . Our food was delicious (gluten free) . Would definitely return .

We went with two friends for a Thursday evening meal. Each of our four main courses was excellent; the service was friendly and efficient; and there was a good - buzzy - atmosphere ... and Harveys Best!

Lovely beer garden with an enclosed playground for the kids. Food is good and quintessential country pub atmosphere.

I had posted a review about the white hart last year after it became our regular. Sadly have to update from a perfect 5 to a 1. We visited on Thursday evening and arrived at 20.40 hrs (knowing kitchen last orders are at 9pm) and asked for a table. The floor manager immediately responded by saying only if you order immediately and said you can sit there pointing at the table next to the main door. Asked if there was an alternative she abruptly said no. We had sat at this table before and it's the worst table in the restaurant. We were hungry so decided to stay. I had a quick look around and could see there were at least 6 tables available in the main dining room including a table fpr 2 that was not clean but had 2 napkins and two glasses and asked if we could use that table. The manager was extremely rude and abrupt and said no cause I have to clean it. I said it would take 15 seconds and she started huffing and puffing and getting irritated. I asked her to not get nervous but she decided she was in the right and at which point I had enough of her arrogance and we walked out. We have been to the white hart over 20 times...but never came across such arrogance. Never again

Great atmosphere and lovely place to eat. Different seating areas for everyone. The food was amazing and service was excellent. I had crispy beef salad and fries my husband had wild boar pie and mash. Great place to eat or just to have a drink.

Pleasant place, nice atmosphere and good food

Good value and with very nice conservatory and patio area. Pleasant when outside dining is possible. Food was well prepared and seemed freshly made. Good selection of draught beers.

Friends live here and we joined for Sunday lunch. Sat outside on the wooden benches, nice garden, lovely building. My scallop starter was great, well cooked with a zingy lemon oil and pea purée, not cheap at nearly £16. The roast arrived, parsnip purée, my piece of lamb was very small once I’d taken the fat off, obviously this can be a problem with lamb, the roast potatoes were crispy and soft on the inside, delicious gravy and greens were ok, for £26, it was a bit ordinary, On a positive note, we had been invited and it was a lovely meal, with old friends. My starter was so good, the roast was a let down. Yes, I would go again, stunning setting and on the whole nice food, brilliant service.

Great pub, good service but woeful food.

Awful roast, Lamb full of fat. poor amount of gravy. Extremely overpriced, had better at Toby Carvery.

Sadly the Roast was very average. Poor Lamb limp veg and only 3 roast potatoes. For the price very poor

Scotch sirloin and to die for peppercorn sauce exquisite

Went for a Sunday Roast! Wow the place did not disappoint! Fantastic food it just melts in your mouth! Had the mixed roast, beef and pork cooked to perfection! Didn't have the dessert because was too full! Will definitely be back to try the dessert with the Sunday Roast!

Good was disgusting for the price. My husband had the pie and you needed a hammer and chisel to get through the so called pastry

Love it here, food is delicious every time I go, staff are always so friendly and they cater really well for gluten free

Nice food and service, although getting a little expensive in my view.

The food is good, the atmosphere is good, however the service can vary drastically! We’ve been coming here for years, overall the food has always been good and it’s a pleasant pub to dine in. In terms of service, our experience is very similar every time; the more experienced members of staff are great and do everything you would expect. However, there are always a large number of very young presumably inexperienced waitresses (apologies I cannot recall names otherwise would quote them) who tend to have quite limited talents when it comes to hospitality! They loiter around chatting to one another making it extremely difficult for us customers to gain their attention, they are unfriendly, and lack politeness in situations such as when we walked past two of them on the way out, neither said goodbye or allowed us to say a customary “thank you” instead they looked at us, frowned and quietly shuffled past! This is about what I would expect from a McDonalds but would have anticipated a bit more politeness when comparing this to similar pubs. The only reason I feel the need to point this out is because this sort of attitude really drags down what would otherwise be a lovely pub, we will be returning but already dreading the frowns of these youngsters!

Gorgeous food. Really friendly and attentive service but not over attentive. Dog friendly and a very nice chilled out atmosphere

Brilliant food brilliant service

This is by far my favourite pub for dining. Menu is seasonal and there's a lot of options, vegan, meat, vegetarian or even pescatarians. My personal favourite is their pork belly, it's must, huge portion too! Staff are super friendly and attentive. I have been coming here since 2012. They also give coupons for discounts 😊

This pub is outstanding in every way. Service, food and lovely surroundings. A favorite with our family. It’s a little off putting I guess to be asked for a tip, they do point out that service is not included and then hand you the device that asks for a tip percentage. I left a good tip as it’s great but feel being asked personally for one is offputting.
