“Lovely place to have an authentic pizza…. The ingredients are so fresh. This place not only serves pizza you can buy salads, pasta and desserts. I’m I love with their wood fire pizza oven. You can pay with card or cash, they deliver to your door. The service was nice fast and polite.”

“Had a fantastic meal here with my partner after some friends recommended the restaurant. First time i have tried polish food and is was great! Excellent wine menu as well. We'll be back again soon.”

“Excellent food, served in copious quantities. Very friendly and helpful service. They were happy to flex menu items to meet what we wanted, and provided takeaway boxes for the leftovers. I would definitely recommend.”

“This is a rather special old inn. We had a wonderful, though very brief, overnight stay with breakfast in the morning, the day after a long road journey. Wound down with a nightcap in the company of James and Jules at the bar; they were great hosts. The room and, in particular, the bed were just superb. The bathroom: everything clean and just as you'd want it. Mary made us a very good breakfast and was also very friendly. It was clear all the staff we met actually care and want their guests to enjoy their stay and be comfortable. Highly recommended.”

“We recently dined at Hilal and had it was exceptional experience from start to finish. The meal began with a delightful selection of appetizers, which included a variety of traditional Turkish mezes. Each dish was bursting with flavor and showcased the rich culinary heritage of Turkey. For the main course, I opted for the lamb meat, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The lamb was tender, juicy. It was served with a side of fluffy rice and salad, complementing the meat beautifully. To cap off the meal, we were treated to a small selection of thank you sweets. These little confections were a sweet and thoughtful end to a fantastic meal, highlighting the restaurant's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. Overall, Hilal offers an authentic and memorable dining experience. The combination of delicious food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone craving Turkish cuisine. Highly recommended!”

“Nice breakfast, good choice of menu. French Toast for me, Breakfast Cassoulet for my wife. Nice feel, good food, friendly staff. Well worth a visit”

“Came in to watch the Euros final - very busy, but was able to reserve a table on the day thanks to the incredibly helpful staff. Incredible atmosphere, with a wealth of historical features. Staff went above and beyond; really fast service despite how busy it was. Excellent range of beers on tap, and very reasonable prices. Can’t wait to visit again.”

“What an amazing dining experience! Even with the restaurant bustling with large groups, the staff remained friendly and attentive. Oleh took excellent care of our table! Nice selection of drinks to choose from. The food arrived steaming hot. We started with Garlic Bread and Roasted Aubergine ‘Meatballs,’ which complemented each other beautifully. The Vegan Rainbow Lasagne was absolutely divine, boasting a rich sauce and bursting with flavour. It truly excelled in both taste and presentation! The Vegan Lentil Ragu was bursting with flavour and very tasty! For dessert, we enjoyed the Raspberry Collins Cheesecake and Strawberry Sorbet, both of which were vegan delights.”

“Hired the place out for my 40th party last weekend and had a blast. I paid extra for a late license which takes music up to about 12, but means you don’t have to exit until around 1 - highly recommend for a bit of flexibility. Price is really reasonable for hire, but also the drinks & food are too. The food was fab, I even brought home some for the next day and it was super tasty. Everyone who attended had a fab time and the staff there on the evening couldn’t do enough to make it a special night! I know family who are local will look to use the venue again.”

“Very friendly people! I only grabbed a coffee but going by the smell I’ll be scranning there soon! Thanks again for the coffee”

“We were playing Golf at the London Club and I contacted the pub and asked if they would accommodate 4 of us for a full English breakfast before we went to the Golf Club. The manager Steve called me and it was arranged. We had a reserved table and they did us proud. 3 x Full English, Egg, Fried Slice, Mushroom, Sausage and Beans £9.99. Absolute Bargain. We play this every year so this will definitely be an annual pop in for breakfast! Atmosphere in the pub was great and it was spotless thank you once again”

“One of the friendliest pubs around. Ben, the landlord makes you feel very welcome. Food is hearty and tastes like home comforts. Come here if you want the best quality service and company. Highly recommend the fish and chips on a Friday. You will not be disappointed.”

“Came on friday night, the bar was busy so there was a lovely atmosphere, was pleasantly suprised to find out it was happy hour when we arrived! Seated next to the fire, delicious fish and chips, large portions and fantastic service, thankyou to all the lovely staff”

“They hosted a family wake. Buffet was fresh, delicious and plentiful. Bar prices were very reasonable. Great service. Catered for a member of the party who was gluten free. Would highly recommend.”

“Always a great atmosphere and cheerful pub happy bar staff a real must and certainly no problem here Thanku for happy evening”

“Went here for coffee and breakfast. The coffee was delicious and made extremely fast. Service was also really quick and friendly. Had the plant based bap with an egg added which was also made rapidly and cooked to perfection- the chutney in it was really good! The decor was cool too. They do a nice scheme where you can pay forward a free hot drink to a customer and other customers can help themselves. A nice idea. Overall really well done to this place, they’ve got a good thing going and I’ll certainly be back for more”

“Really enjoyed our visit there. The staffs there were nice and friendly. The food was really good, much better than norm pub food. They also have good awareness of gluten free in their food. It was very nice to know that the gravy for the Sunday lunch was gluten free anyway. We will definitely visit again if we are around the area.”

“Amazing pub. Picture perfect and totally delivered. The pub is absolutely charming. The food and staff make it a 10/10. Staff could not be more helpful and friendly. Will definitely return again for the Sunday roast . Keep up the good work”

“We frequently stop here on our Sunday dog walks for breakfast and drinks - lovely inside & out and very dog friendly… have also had yummy long lunches here…. Always a friendly welcome!”

“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”

“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”

“I thought I would try a new take away this week and I can say I was not disappointed and will be making the lantern my new local! The service was great the lady at the counter was very friendly and bubbly which I am not used to for a take away. The food was steaming hot and full of flavour and tasted like quality and generous portions all at a reasonable price.”

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

“Cracking little pub with friendly locals and warm welcoming staff. TQ.”
