The Anchor

Reviewed By jerryskc - Kansas City, United States

I live in the US but I grew up in and around Sevenoaks, attending Sevenoaks School and generally frequenting the area. Much has changed in the intervening years (I am now 54) but, thankfully, The Anchor seems to have been immune. Whether or not you think this is a good thing is up to you, but I love finding pubs like this that still seem to thrive. I came here to meet an old friend from the aforementioned school days and we spent a delightful 4 hours. We whiled away the time sampling the wonderful Kentish Ale and delightfully, playing darts. Why did pubs ever lose their dartboards? It makes such a change to find a games area (there was also a pool table and a games machine in a separate area that also houses the only TV. This is great. It keeps the games and those wanting to watch TV away from the main bar area. It looks as though the TV is reserved for sports, and when the live sports ended this day, it was soon turned off. This is truly a throwback in pubs. You enter through the front door that is in the shape of a crescent, into the small bar where I was promptly greeted by Barry and engaged in conversation whilst awaiting my friend. All the bar staff with whom we interacted were similarly friendly and helpful. We borrowed darts from those kept behind the bar for our game. No frills here and all the better for it - I love places like this and was delighted to find they still exist. In addition to the good ale, they have a decent bar menu and I sampled the steak and ale pie for which they are deservedly renown. It was really excellent. Good solid pub food just topped off the visit, it was great. If you are a fan of the flashy, glitzy Wetherspoon establishments this is not the place for you. There is nothing wrong with them of course, but this is far preferable in my estimation. A lovely afternoon spent here post Christmas

The Rising Sun Inn

Reviewed By 70karenannen - Swanley, United Kingdom

Just had 6 takeaway roast dinners from the Rising Sun in Fawkham Green which were amazing and were even take out and put in my car boot. Service with a smile during these most challenging times for them and the rest of the pubs and restaurants. Please, please support them for Fish and Chips on Friday and Roast on Sunday! Great value for money too, a plateful of succulent roast beef, beautiful roast potatoes and and array colourful, crispy vegetables and very tasty gravy, all for just £10! Thank you for staying open Rising Sun and remaining so positive during such tough times. Karen Nicholson and family

Having moved to the area a few months ago I've been to The Cask on many occasions and always enjoyed my visit. The locals a friendly and welcoming and Simon the owner knows his beer inside and out, always top class! Cannot recommend enough.

The Rising Sun

Reviewed By A1SE16 - London, United Kingdom

A lovely pub which is sadly due to close on 31st January this year. Visited today with 11 other members of London Clarion Cycle Club on our club run from SE London, we were made to feel extremely welcome by the owner, 3 dogs and the cat. The cask beer was of an excellent quality. Very sad to see this pub closing.

Reviewed By 950philipa

We visited the Royal Oak for a drink whilst out walking. It has just been taken over by the local village and staffed by a very friendly volunteer group and bar manager. Whilst they have yet to employ a full time chef we had a very fresh ham and cheese roll and locally baked chocolate cake. Just the thing to set us up for the afternoon. Will certainly go back. We are aware they have a guest chef in tonight but the pub was fully booked. We have added our names to the mailing list for future events

The White Rock Inn Bar

Reviewed By Uniconst - Weybridge, United Kingdom

I’d scanned TripAdvisor for a good pub restaurant in the Sevenoaks area that I hadn’t been to before and this place came up, quite highly rated and the online menu looked not too complicated but with a good selection that showed much promise. I wasn’t disappointed, the pub had good well kept real ale, the food was really very good, the service was first class and the restaurant comfortable. I started with mussels and they were, I’m certain, the best I’ve ever eaten outside of Belgium and a lot of mussels are eaten in Brussels lol. My main was a perfectly cooked ribeye with fantastic crispy chips etc. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding with enough toffee sauce to float a boat and delicious vanilla ice cream, although not quite enough of that! The rest of the food ordered at our table was met with equally enthusiastic comments and praise. Steak a tad expensive for a pub but all in all quite reasonable and almost faultless. Well worth a visit but be sure to book in advance.
