Well - there seem to be big changes afoot at The Padwell, and all for the better so far (they've…read moredropped the "Arms" from the name, too). Was in there a couple of times over the last week in July 2011, and there are clearly new management in control; Doug and Jayne are out of the picture, and instead we have Maria and Ray - very personable, locally based and full of enthusiasm for what they hope to do with the place. Can't comment on the food, or state of the kitchen, as the entire dining area and food prep area are being completely revamped with a view to being up and running shortly with a new chef on board and - by all accounts - what's going to be the "simple but bloody good" approach to things, which IMHO is what pub food should be all about Well kept, serviceable ales on tap - all local stuff, plenty of cheerful folk in the bars and outside, and a really upbeat feel about the place, although they've clearly got a real job on their hands and it's still very much a work in progress. Also delighted to say that they're repeating their Harvest Beer Festival in September - fantastic last year, with morris dancers, drummers and reduced prices on beer, which can't be a bad thing ! I can only give a 7/10 rating on what's there so far, but I'll be making a point of going back to see how they're getting on, and reckon that a much higher mark will be due then - very promising start

It is no longer so much a traditional pub as it appears from the outside, but more emphasis on the restaurant side of it. Fine with us, it was the only cooked food source within easy walking distance our cottage in the country. What good food it was, as good and wholesome as anything served in our 'foodie' neck of the woods here in the San Francisco Bay area. With cheeses like Winterdale Shaw, (they have their own dairy herd, and chalk lined cellar to mature the cheese in), and Bloomy Rinded Somerset Brie, it was a pleasure dining there.

The first review that I wrote on this pub yesterday, was actually relating to The Chequers,…read moreSevenoaks High Street, and not The Chequers Inn, Kemsing. I am sorry if I offended anybody by putting an incorrect review. I have never been to The Chequers Inn Kemsing, but I do know a few of their locals who love it here. It is supposed to be one of the nicest pubs in the area, very old with lots of character and charm. I have driven past and it certainly looks very impressive. I will be visiting The Chequers Inn very soon so I can apologise to the owners personally. I must apologise once again, if you happened to read my review yesterday.

The restaurant area is much larger compared to the 'drinking' bar - and you can eat in there as well. There is a good selection of wines by the glass - and bottle - and the food I have had there has always been faultless. Its one of my very favourite pubs and certainly does the best sunday lunch in the area.
