Lovely country pub in small hamlet just outside Sevenoaks. In summer there's pleasant drinking…read moreoutside and in winter they have roaring fires in the large fireplaces. Helen (the English landlady) is excellent at what she does. Her Greek husband, Michael, prepares really good food. On Thursday nights they always have fresh fish, and the haddock and chips is consistently good and among the best I have ever eaten. It's best to phone for a table reservation on Thursday, Friday or Saturday evenings and/or for Sunday lunch.

This place can be very hard to find as it is in the middle of nowhere so take a map or sat nav. The…read morefood was nice appart from the beef was a bit tuff to eat and my mum found some string in the roast to keep the beef together when cooking. The starter and desert was delious as well. The service was a bit slow after you had ordered we was sitting there for about 30 mins after each course. It was a great atmophere and and the staff were very polite and helpful . I would defo go again i just wouldnt order the roast .

I am a local to the fox and hounds and we go there on a regular basis. Since the new people have…read moretaken over the food is wonderful and the atmosphere great. We go there for the quiz night every week and sometimes for a roast on a weekend. The curries are good on quiz night as well as all the other food they do, I have worked my way through the menu! The festive menu at the moment is great too.

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

I've been to Crown Point a couple of times at lunchtime with colleagues from our Seal office. This…read moreappears to be their "local" of choice and although I can see why it's popular (even though it's a bit of drive to get to), with it's tartan carpet and chesterfield chairs, it's a little too like an old fashioned gentlemen's drinking club for my liking! I like to go to places for lunch which are welcoming and relaxed, which Crown Point generally is, but it has a "chain restaurant" feel to the interior and welcome which is somewhat off-putting. I haven't eaten here yet, but colleagues assure me the homemade burger and chips, and steak sandwich are good. Generally this kind of food, which to be fair, is pretty straight forward and the chef would have to be pretty terrible to get wrong so I'm not sure these recommendations stand for a huge amount. A good place for a quick drink if your in the area, but with it's lacking atmosphere and ambience, I'd suggest seeking out somewhere with a little more panache. Sorry, Crown Point, I really did want to like you, but you're just not my type of pub.

This is a quite tastefully modernised Shepherd Neame boozer in the original medieval part of…read moreSevenoaks. It has a happy crowd of local office types and the City brigade unwinding after a hard day of doing-God-only-knows-what up in Town. There is a relaxed atmosphere: The style is all candles & uplights, varnished wooden bars & chairs and exposed brickwork. Special consideration should be given to the chalk boards in the loos; They are covered in philosophical bon-mots that work well when first pint of the day has hit your central nervous system square on!
