Local drinks in Sevenoaks

“Visited on a Saturday evening for a couple of drinks. The atmosphere was lovely, a few locals at the bar, ambient music, which all reminded us of the Bricklayers we know. New manager is doing a great job, and we will definitely be back for a Sunday roast soon.”

“Rising Sun - Google For a long time this hidden gem was a secret for those on the know. It is difficult to get to and unfindable on TA. It used to be busy when Peter ran it but since he passed away his wife, Michelle, and daughter, Rachel, manage it as a quaint old skool country pub with real ales and ice cream with packaged bar snacks available too. Since Michelle's cohort was affected by the rise in retirement age she is due for her pension in 2026. Until then she has to make ends meet and is finding it hard in this economic climate with fewer patrons. This pub is well worth making the effort to visit. Just come for the atmosphere inside, garden outside and the occasional folk gigs. It keeps on disappearing on TA despite my reviewing it a few times before! It also gets confused with other (much more chic, expensive and flashy) pubs locally and I have reported the misplaced photos. Just go with your loved ones or friends. You will not be disappointed. Cycle or drive there. The boxed Westerham Ales are good though so mind the units. Look out for the rare chicken and cow breeds too!”

“We arrived 1 hour 15 minutes early and were greeted by Tamash. He smiled and quickly put us at ease and took us through to a table for six. There were only three of us so plenty of space and the seats were as comfy as could be. The food was absolutely top draw and we all loved it. Can’t wait to get back for a Sunday lunch very soon. The staff were wonderful and looked happy. Hayley was amazing and really looked after us and Daisy was great too.”

“Very nice pub with good atmosphere and great good value food. Brilliant barn at the back for performances. Also lots of parking and beer garden at the back”

“Yes! Very kind and responsive folk and a hearty fish pie. Extra marks for not looking askance at our cycling attire:)”

“I went to josph's kitchen today with my dad And it's such a shame to see it's closed today with newspapers over the windows I did notice that when I went with my dad I couldn't tell if it was open or closed down I want to thank the staff for making my first experience that I had there very lovely Because your staff were very kind to me and my dad You always said hello to me and my dad as we walked in I think I had a cup of tea or hot chocolate when I went there for the first time It was such a pleasure visiting your restaurant This place gets it's very second 5 out of 5 star rating by me Enjoy reading your google review by me Have a lovely rest of your day 5 stars all around”

“Had a Sunday lunch here a couple of weeks back. I had to have the all meats Sunday roast despite it being a hit summers day! It was fantastic. Meats were plenty full as were the roast potatoes which were cooked perfectly. Excellent value for money to. Drinks reasonably priced and a great selection. Definitely worth a visit.”

“Hidden Gem! So pleased my colleague introduced me to this lovely little coffee shop today! It’s such a cute place with plenty of seating both inside and out.

The food looked delicious, so I’m already looking forward to trying something next time!”

“Today (7/7/25) the 2 men running the restaurant were spectacular, my family and I spent a good 4 hours in this cafe. They were attentive and run ragged; all the food and drinks were delicious. The atmosphere was lovely and music was great. Your staff is a credit to your business.”

“Always a pleasure to frequent this gem! Hannah the bar manager always makes an effort to make me feel welcome and is a delight to talk to! The other bar staff are just as lovely and attentive. The food is good and atmosphere usually lively. Been a regular here for many years now and this new chapter for the pub is certainly its best yet!”

“First time at The Sennockian and really enjoyed it. Great beer selection and I can recommend the plum porter. I had a chicken tikka masala to eat which was nice. Next time I'm in the area I will revisit.”
