The best restaurants in Sevenoaks South East

Tulsi has always been our favourite restaurant... whether dining in or takeaway we have never been disappointed! We love the atmosphere and the food is superb. We always receive a friendly welcome and often spend 3 or 4 hours in the restaurant enjoying our meal. We sampled the new midweek buffet last night. There's a great choice and very good value. We're looking forward to our Christmas meal at Tulsi, always a great start to the festive holiday! Thank you Tulsi

The pub was busy but the food came out quite quickly, hit and fresh was delicious brilliant food brilliant service. Bar manager was very helpful and friendly very welcoming will deffo recommend and will be going back this week also excellent value for money oh my dayz!! 10/10

We haven't ordered from Longhouse for a while. It has been good in the past and I was really looking forward to our take-away. We were very disappointed with our food, it was very poor. We ordered salt and pepper paneer, which was so hard it was difficult to cut and needed a lot of chewing to swallow. The rendang tofu and king prawn with garlic, basil and chilli were both very poor quality. The egg fried rice was so unpleasant that we hardly ate any of it. There was very little egg, I saw one piece, and the dish had no flavour. Such a shame. We won't be ordering from them again.

Lovely staff. Excellent service and great pub lunch. Would highly recommend even for a quick pit stop. We had a cheese and tomato sandwich and a scotch egg. Both were fabulous

Was a special day and the food presented was very good. Service was also good with friendly staff.

We really liked it, the service was spot on and the food was great. The only complaint was the volume of the TV. Perhaps we are just getting old! The menu was quite small, but they also had two specials on offer on top of the standard menu. All food, I believe, is home cooked, so the smaller menu is completely forgiven on that score. One of us had the burger and the other the chilli. Both meals were excellent and really nicely presented. We also shared a starter, which was equally as good as the mains. All the staff were really good and the pub had a lovely atmosphere, really traditional which we love. The rugby was on the television in the area where we were seated, and there was just one person watching it. On full blast, it was difficult to have a conversation at all, which did slightly spoil the occasion, we did mention it to the man as he had the remote, but he was obviously a rugby fan, having said that we did enjoy it and would like to return. Thank you.

Visited on a Friday evening with friends that I haven’t seen in a while. I liked everything about the restaurant except for the live music. To have music that loud in a restaurant made it extremely difficult to talk as we could barely hear one another. The place already has a real buzz about it so the music added nothing. People go with their friends to restaurants to talk - not to listen to music. Enjoyed the food though.

Absolutely delicious food! We always have king prawn purée nearly every Tuesday! Great service and great staff! End of the month entertainment is brilliant as always! We love this place.

Visited the cafe in April. It has a nice feel, generally good service and whilst the food was good quality - the prices are still very excessive for the portion sizes and the full package of what is served. The ingredients may well be locally sourced, but alot of other establishments could say the same and for at least a third of these prices. £9 for a bowl of soup is inexplicable and also think it is unfair to ask customers to pay additional for gluten free bread when a great many coastal towns in Kent are fully geared up for GF customers and do not charge extra.

Amy was very helpful and nice. More people need to visit local pubs in Sevenoaks like The Miners Arms, Happy and friendly pub

Would never visit again after my recent experience; have been here a few times; usually good and I even forgave them for a burnt omelette once before. It was busy today but we were not in a rush, so that was fine. No paninis left (at 12.20pm! ) so my daughter had a ham / cheese toastie, which was ok. No smoked salmon either so I asked for a cheese /onion toastie. It was awful, the onions were like they had been fried for a burger. Yuck. So I took it back, and one lady insisted they weren't fried (my daughter said that was the taste, too). So finally, i got an egg mayo cress sandwich. Had a nice pot of tea and a J20. The courtyard really needs a tidy up, brambles, and overgrown flowerbed. Wish I'd gone somewhere else : Think I was overcharged as welll : ( Must say though that 1 poor overworked member of staff was lovely though (lady with short hair.

Always on the search for the elusive stand out Pub Sunday lunch. Think we have just found our new favourite! Just under an hour drive for us in Surrey to The Samuel Palmer but well worth journey. Table of 4 booked for 12.30pm Nice homemade Focaccia and whipped butter for the table to start then we shared some charred, salted padron peppers and amazing crispy Korean fried chicken wings. All ordered Roasts for the mains, 2 Perfectly cooked roasted and sliced beef sirloins and 2 of the Roasted pork chop which all came with Yorkshire puddings, roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables and some really good Cauliflower Cheese! Everything seasoned on point and all served hot with plenty of jugs of the gravy. Deserts were outstanding. I had a Brioche and chocolate chip baked bread and butter pudding and the table also had a chocolate delice and a proper Apple crumble. Service team were attentive and good knowledge of the menu The Kitchen obviously know what they’re doing and producing real tasty food, will definitely be back

As always we always have a lovely time when we visit. The lovely bar lady tonight was extremely friendly and looked after us.

We visited this hotel to meet up with a cousin for a drink and then have dinner with my brother in law and his wife. We parked in the hotel carpark and didn't expect or notice any requirement for parking payment. On entering the hotel, we had to wait about 10 mins before any staff appeared. A bar person then appeared and we ordered drinks. We had a couple of drinks and then dinner for 4. A couple of weeks after our visit I received a Parking Penalty notice demanding £100 or £60 if paid within 14 days of the notice. As there were only 2 days left I paid the fine. Subsequently I contacted the hotel and explained that I had been given a penalty parking fine and they told me to email Parkingeye and ask for a refund. I didn't receive a reply from Parkingeye after 2 further emails, and then on closer reading of the small print on the PCN it stated that there would not be any refunds once the fine had been paid. I then contacted the hotel again and asked them to reimburse me. They refused to do so and again told me to contact Parking eye. So my drinks and meal have cost me £60 more than they should. All of this could have been avoided if the hotel staff either in the bar or the restaurant had checked if I had arrived by car and taken details of my Reg No. It seems as though they are quite happy to have non-residential customers fined for parking. Very poor service. To cap it all the food was mediocre and poor value. Needless to say I won't be going back.

The food is always cooked fresh. The flavours are vibrant and the ingredients of good quality. Consistently fantastic. Thank you
