Pub 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.”

“This was my third visit to The Kings Head in Sevenoaks within just a couple of months, and there’s a very good reason I keep coming back. I travel all the way from Farnham, which is a 50-mile trip, but it’s absolutely worth it every time. I’d probably go further if they asked nicely. The pub has everything you’d hope for from a proper village pub. The building is beautifully traditional, full of character, and in the summer the garden is a genuinely lovely place to sit and unwind. The staff are consistently excellent, friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in making people feel right at home. There’s also a solid selection of real ales and lagers, which never disappoints. My first visit was at the tail end of summer, when I sat in the garden for lunch and was instantly taken with the place. A couple of weeks later I returned for an evening meal and was so impressed that I decided to relocate our annual family remembrance gathering here. We came as a group of 11 for lunch on Saturday 15th November, and even though the pub was very busy, the service was faultless. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and had a great sense of humour, which is essential when dealing with our lively family. The team here didn’t flinch. Even though the pub was busy, service stayed top-notch and dishes arrived far quicker than I expected. Miracles do happen. All the dishes we ordered arrived promptly, and every one of us commented on the generous portion sizes (a rarity these days!) and the superb quality. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. I had the cod stew with chorizo and crispy kale, which was an absolute standout — beautifully balanced and bursting with flavour, like a little firework display in a bowl. I followed it with an apple crumble and custard, which met the approval of even our most serious crumble connoisseurs. And, to top it all off, the bill was a very pleasant surprise. It’s refreshing to enjoy food and service of this standard without feeling like you’ve been mugged on the way out. The Kings Head is a place I genuinely love. Traditional, welcoming, great food, great staff, and great value. I’ll happily keep making the 50-mile journey, it’s become a firm favourite of mine.”

“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”

“Great food and great service! Would definitely come back!”

“Best fish and chips I’ve had. Light, thin and crispy batter all around, a beautiful large fillet of Haddock. I also liked that it wasn’t seasoned with salt allowing customers to season as they please with salt and pepper shakers provided.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Came here for a Sunday lunch today. The service from all staff was attentive and the girls were lovely to my two young children. I ordered the butternut squash roast which was a great veggie option and my kids both had the small roast chickens which they enjoyed. Overall the service and food was great and I would recommend”

“The Halfway House in Sevenoaks is a good pub in every sense of the word. It offers a nice selection of beers, with the Guinness standing out as particularly good—poured to perfection. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, thanks in no small part to the lovely girls behind the bar, who are both friendly and attentive.

“Spent 3 nights for boyfriends birthday. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are really nice, spacious, modern and clean. The restaurant is a little bit small but the food is great. The only downside is that the restaurant is abit under staffed, the restaurant is always quite busy at dinner time and we waited 30 minutes before the waiter came to take our drinks and food order. But I would still recommend this hotel.”

“Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. Our waitress Sue was absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much for her and she kept checking on us to see if we were OK. She's definitely an asset to the company Thank you Sue, we'll 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.”

“A lovely local pub in the charming village of Shoreham. The service was great and I had a tasty half pint of Bigfoot from the local Stay Wild brewery. I’m not usually a fan of pale ale but this subtle and aromatic.”

“We came as a family of 5 plus a medium dog, all different generations, for a pre Christmas meal and it was exceptional. I have worked in hospitality for a decade and I can't understand why this doesn't have a higher review score. The food was the best I've had in a pub in years, the service was so personal and attentive without being imposing. We had a few dietary requirements that were accommodated with no bother at all. The atmosphere was lovely and overall we are just so thrilled to have such a wonderful pub in the village. The new management have really created such a cosy, welcoming vibe with really high standards of food and service. Thank you - highly recommend.”

“Visited solo mid-week for business. A warm welcome from friendly hosts and a nice quiet stay. The room was very comfortable and clean, breakfast the following morning was delicious and I would return again if working in the area.”
