    Branded Beef - Steak frites with peppercorn sauce

    This review is for Branded, a restaurant in Sevenoaks. After…read morespending the morning exploring Knole, the stately home nearby, a friend and I wandered down the High Street in search of lunch. We considered a few places before deciding on Branded--and I'm so glad we did. We arrived a bit early, so the restaurant was still quiet. Inside, it's surprisingly spacious yet manages to feel warm and intimate. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed. Given Branded's reputation for great beef, it only seemed right to order both a hamburger and a steak. We began with the rock shrimp tempura, beautifully crisp and light, followed by a Caesar salad that was fresh, generous, and ideal for sharing. The burger was outstanding--two juicy patties layered with bacon, Jack cheese, and truffle mayo, cooked to perfection. My rib-eye steak with peppercorn sauce and frites could easily hold its own in a Parisian bistro: tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. If you're planning a visit to Knole, skip the café there and head to Branded instead. It's the kind of meal that turns a good outing into a memorable day.

    This used to be gourmet burger bar, but in April 2012 reopened as Branded beef…read more As the name suggests, it focuses mainly on beef - steaks and burgers in various guises. However, they do have quite a few other things to offer. There were several fish dishes and even a couple of vegetarian offerings. This was supposed to be a quick lunch for three girls, and of course we lived up to the stereotype and had the skinny burgers (no bun or cheese) and shared the fries. Even so, I was pretty full for several hours afterwards. The burger was nice, not the most perfect piece of hamburger meat ever, but ok. The fries (fat chips) were actually delicious. The thing that really let it down was the salad - very nice fresh leaves doused in some sort of sweet and citrus dressing that jarred with the whole plate. Pity, as I needed something to eat with the burger! The service was lovely - very attentive and friendly. The place itself is a little cold - lots of leather, cow hide lampshades and bar stools, but the bench seating that I sat on was hard, cold wood - much better to have leather seats throughout I think. Overall it was perfectly pleasant, but there was nothing to make me go rushing back.

    Pros: great beer selection, beer snobs will love it here. Nice traditional / hipster pub decor…read more Quiet and friendly atmosphere and some food is pretty decent. Cons: While some food is good, some isn't great because of the price. There are some great dishes that are worth it, (wings) and some stuff which is lacking (nachos). The place is quiet most nights but is super loud on Friday because of the band, which isn't welcome when all you want a quiet drink to chat with friends after work!

    I like good beer. Ney, I LOVE good beer. Most pubs only have one or two beers that I would classify…read moreas 'good', so it is always a bonus to find a place with a solid variety of 'good' beer on tap and not just in the bottle. Fortunately, if you are in Bromley, the Barrel and Horn is the perfect place to find a great variety of really good beer on tap. The selection ranges from local London breweries to top notch ones Stateside as well. In my first visit here, they had Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale on draft! That's hard to find in its birthplace of California, but to be on tap in Bromley/London is a shear gift from the beer gods. Okay, so they've got good beer, I've made that clear. They also serve a good selection of food as well. Not the a-typical pub grub, this is more of a fancy/gastropub type menu, featuring ribs, gourmet sandwiches, a pulled pork salad and much more. The decor is very comfy chic. A few couches, mix of different types of tables and even an elevated dining room that your country mother would be impressed by!

    So let me contextualise this review a little for everyone. It started with Tim L. who created a…read morethread regarding what kind of restaurant would we open and one thing lead to another or should I say one Thalie A. led to a Josy A. who led to an Ela T. and here we are talking about buffets of all types good and bad. I'll be honest the more involve I got in to this conversation the more I had a craving for a Chinese buffet, so what did I do, I hid until the sun came down and out I went in search for my closet Chinese buffet fix. Yes just like that a simple conversation through yelp led me to a table with a fork in my hands within hours. Josy A. said I should be disappointed with the quality of the food I find which was sound advise to be honest as I was out to satisfy "the eternal hunger" that was a upon me. The second I've entered this place and the first time was not good it was bad but this time was different I had "the eternal hunger" which will last forever until my craving was satisfied for Chinese. I'd almost forgot this place is not Chinese it's a selection of pan Asia dishes ranging from Thai to Indian , which also had a barbecue station for grilled meet and veg as well as a man bread station that cooked the nan bread fresh in front if you. For £15 this is a good buffet purely because it was cheaper than the amount discussed in our thread but also the vast selection of food on offer. I feel my tip was accurate when I said indulge and overload, as I am now suffering from a pan Asia food coma onslaught all because I took Tim L's thread a little too far.

    Recently went with the family and had a really nice time, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming,…read morewell decorated and the food was delicious, the service was a little slow hence knocking off one start but it was what i would assume a peak time so can't complain!

    When Mr. Snarky said, "We could try the pub." I thought of the restaurants near the train…read morestation... so when we ended up here, I was pleasantly surprised. The pub was really busy... we had trouble getting in through the entrance as there were a lot of people having Christmas drinky poos. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to get a table, but they had a couple, so we lucked out! The menu is seasonal, so what we had may not be on there, but I certainly hope they consider offering the dish I had again. I ordered the seabass with mussels and prawns with a white wine sauce and couscous. Mr. Snarky had one of their specials, the Lamb and Carrot pie. It was quite loud in the place, but it definitely feels cozy... like a place only the locals go to! My dish was really lovely, although the only complaint was that the lovely sauce was only around the side of the plate, so some of the mussels had it, but the fish could have used some of the sauce. The sauce was beautiful! And Mr. Snarky's only complaint was that the pie wasn't a full pie... it was a ramekin of filling with pastry on top. Forget the campaign for real ale, we need the campaign for real pie! We did indulge in dessert... and we were so predictable. Me with the Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream and Mr. Snarky with the cheesecake. Although he did ask if the crumble came with custard and because it did not, he chose the cheesecake. You can't have crumble without custard! Anyway, the whole dinner was really lovely and I think we agreed we would be happy to come back again.
