The best restaurants in Sevenoaks South East

Nice pub for a meal or just a drink. Friendly staff and locals

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had in a hostelry! The men's toilets are disgusting! They have a drug problem with some of the customers snorting in the toilet stalls! The bar staff are surly! The manager is an oaf who thinks he can talk to people like dirt! As for the Sunday roast? I like vegetables drained of water,gravy with something less like brown water and a slice of meat thicker than aluminum foil! Three years ago they had a polite,enthusiastic manager that kept the place well run and had a beer garden devoid of trash and toilets that had operating facilities and didn't smell! The ale selection was fantastic too!

What a shame! We have been meeting friends at The Bricklayers Arms for many years and always had good food in a very friendly atmosphere. On our latest visit there was a restricted menu and what food we had was over cooked, poorly presented and in one case inedible. On the plus side the young lady who served us and appeared to be the only staff on duty in the bar and restaurant was very friendly.

As part of my birthday treat of visiting nearby Hever Castle, we booked to stay at The Greyhound at Hever restaurant with rooms for the night (September 2024). It’s a delightful little place, with just five bedrooms, a few minutes drive from Hever Castle and well placed for exploring this lovely part of Kent. Our room, number four, was a ground floor room that opened onto the garden where we sat and enjoyed a cup of coffee whilst listening to the sound of birds singing in the trees. The room had everything we needed for an overnight stay including the most important things - a comfortable bed and a very good shower. We ate dinner in the intimate restaurant where the tables were well spaced so we didn’t feel cramped or overheard by nearby diners. The food that we chose was delicious and reasonably priced, as was the wine list. The owner was friendly and welcoming and we felt at ease both at dinner and again at breakfast. Breakfast was another very good meal with a good range of choices. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing stay and if we return to that part of Kent again we’d definitely return to The Greyhound.

Excellent food and service. We have always enjoyed the food here. Great choice on the menu. Thank you Jackie and Paul Ian and Marnie

Yes I discovered that this pub is part of a chain where they all have the same menu and wines! Saying this…this is a nice cosy place near Seven Oaks with also some traditional English dishes (we enjoyed either the fish and chips and the pie!) and more modern offerings. Service is good, food is good the Chablis was cold and…it was raining outside!!!! Perfect for a grey day.

Sam the landlord was very welcoming and ensured I was looked after the entire time.. 100% recommend this pub for a social drink if you are in the area or passing through .

Superb pub food. I had Prawn/Salmon Cocktail - generous/fresh followed by pie and mash - unbeatable. My wife had soup(which was hot - you’d be amazed at how many places serve lukewarm) with crusty fresh bread, followed by Sea Bass beautifully cooked (so easy to over cook) - excellent chef 👏👏👏

Been here several times since its re opened and the service is brilliant. Food is amazing. Great kids area too. Always made to feel welcome by all the staff.

My friends and I went to the Kentish horse yesterday for lunch. We were Very impressed with everything. Food was lovely,Kind and friendly staff,;the staff did extremely well considering how busy they all were. Kept us updated to were our food is.staff Very apologetic about the wait but we totally understood. Thank you Kentish horse staff! We plan to visit again soon .

I had a couple of hours to kill while on business in Sevenoaks, and fancied an all day breakfast. I googled and found this little place off the beaten track (didn't want to pay for parking!). Really tasty full English breakfast and a good cup of coffee, and ever so great value at £8.00. Maybe not the greatest venue, but definitely worth it for the food.

Dropped in on Sunday for a late lunch. Obviously busy but we were lucky to get a table for 2 and we were made to feel very welcome by the lady who seemed to be managing the restaurant that day. We ordered 2 roast chicken dinners, a small wine and a pint. £59 including service. I’m glad the service gets added on. We are generous anyway but nice to know nobody is getting away with being mean. Oli who served us was great. Very pleasant. Oli and the lady both asked if all was well With our meals. The portions were plentiful! Massive Yorkshire, delish red cabbage, I think a swede/carrot mash, cauliflower cheese. Really nice chicken breast rather than a cheap half chicken places serve. Stuffing. If that doesn’t fill you up you over eat 😂. 3 potatoes, my husband had to finish one of mine. Too full for desert. Really lovely place. A big family meal going on, seems ideal for that. A big garden. We got a space in the car park. Wish I could remember the lady’s name, she was really friendly and professional, as was Oli. Other people visiting were a nice crowd, well behaved kids etc. which you can guarantee but made for a really lovely visit after a walk at Chiddingstone

Lovely place to dine in or out in the summer

A great local kebab house. Good value , very tasty and very generous portions! Free home delivery is also an added bonus, only requiring a ten pound minimum order.
