The Best Restaurants in Sevenoaks, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Lovely Turkish restaurant with courteous staff and delicious food. We ordered multiples dishes like humus, chicken wings , chicken seesh , haloumi grill . For me there chicken wings were the highlight of the lunch.

A birthday meal with friends. Luckily managed to park outside in the road just after 19.00, don't think they have a car park. Upon entering, you see the hot grill sizzling and the sight of meat on skewers cooking. Nice man held the door open. My party was already there, seated on the 2nd floor. On my way to them, lots of filled tables, quite busy. Attentive staff, quick to take drink orders, and allowed us time to catch up and view the food menu. Empty glasses and plates quickly removed. The food was lovely. The lamb kebab was outstanding, simply cooked and delicious. As standard, the mains are accompanied by rice, bulger wheat, and salad. No problems throughout the meal, service charge automatically added, about £6 a head. Toilets on the 3rd floor. I didn't have dessert or coffee or liqueurs, so I can't comment. I couldn't manage to eat all my mains as I gorged on the hummus and prawns. They were happy to pack it up for takeaway. An enjoyable experience and one that we will repeat. 6 people eating, we split the bill and rounded up for convience, £60 per person.

Lovely atmosphere and great service, everyone is very attentive. Food wise the portions are good and the usual wonderful flavours of chargrilled turkish food. The chilli prawns and bread were amazing (make sure you let them know you want the halal version and they’ll cook it with Olive oil instead of wine) - Worth a visit if you’re in the area. Only criticism, more bread would have been nice. Most Turkish restaurants serve bread and sauces as you arrive these days, we’ve become spoilt by them, lol.

The liver starter was beautiful. Chilli Prawns great. The mixed grill was the bestI have had. My wife enjoyed her mixed shish. Large portions. Everything was bursting with flavour. We came on the recommendation of @Garyeats youtube channel. His review was spot on 👍 We parked on the street outside which is free for 2 hours.

Visited for the first time. Pie of the day was delicious, fresh local meat, huge portions- reminded me of pies in Devon! Mash and chips were good too. Staff were friendly. Parking was on the road, its a small road which I can imagine at peak times would be busy, but there were no parking restrictions. Inside was a little small not a huge amount of seating and the outdoor seating was only 4 tables (overlooking the road and then the lake), but overall a decent reasonably priced country pub with seemingly good quality food. Worth a visit, would recommend opting for their local food!

Very nice food, meet our daughter there on the way back from a mini break , she sails in the yaught club. Food was very good, good prices , staff friendly. Great views from front of pub..

Absolutely brilliant place to eat. Opposite the lake. Food was really good and portions are very generous. Definitely recommended by us. I understand they have an open 🎤 night. Not sure what night though.

We stop off here when we charge the car and enjoy sitting in and having a small lunch. It's great to see they are able to cater for plant based diets and as we just found out, gluten free (as my daughter is on an exclusion diet for a while) so we were able to have gluten free bread with our soup. They also do a great oat milk latte. What would make the meal 100% is providing some non dairy spread/butter for the bread, but otherwise we can't fault the service, very friendly staff and the quality of the food. I'd say it is good value for money.

I’ve just eaten the best fish and chips in my life. This place is welcoming, clean and service is great. I’ve also had a cocktail made by Dhimant. Delicious. Will definitely be back with friends. Thank you for good service.

We enjoyed our afternoon tea experience. The food was delicious and the homemade scones were the highlight and still warm. Our waiter Dhimant was attentive and even offered to help us take a photo. Well done.

My husband I found this place accidentally as we were looking for a Tesla supercharger, which was located behind this restaurant. And what a GEM it was!! Both of us ordered the LAMB SHANK, along with Sweet Potato Fries & Homemade Onion Rings. It was SUPERB!! Really DELICIOUS!!! We were welcomed by Deep, the friendly waiter. He was the one who recommended us the lamb shank as it's one of their specialties. And AMRO, the chef who made the yummy food, came out to deliver our order is also a super friendly guy and very kind. We ended up having a nice chat with him and he even gave us a free sweet treat that he just made, super yummy! We highly recommend this place as we had a very wonderful dining experience there. Thanks again Amro & Deep! :)

This pub has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. The staff were so nice and kind, always checking in to ensure we were having a nice time. The food was by the far the most incredible no thrills meal. The roasts and pies were superb. Big servings for under £10 each. Highly recommend

There is a reason the locals very much use this pub. You won't find prices as low as this for home cooked food. On our visit on a Friday lunchtime, we were amazed how good the pies were with seasonal vegetables. I would definitely return. We visited two other pubs in the High Street. One only had sandwiches, the other just over priced burgers in a brioche bun.

Great old-fashioned boozer on the Sevenoaks high street (though it's a bit of a hike up the hill from the railway station for those with limited mobility but there is a bus service). Long-serving landlord serves good beer. Nice bit of live music when we visited on Sunday. Well worth a try😁👍.

A classic pub experience which is hard to find in Sevenoaks! No pretensions of being a restaurant, this is a basic but friendly boozer with a good selection of well kept ales. A regular in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide, I've never had a bad pint in here. Friendly regulars and a relaxed atmosphere make this a great place to relax and enjoy a pint and the banter. There's a small food menu with sandwiches, jackets and burgers. Great pub.

Excellent in every aspect. One of the best bar meals I've had (steak and Guinness pie) wash down with one of the best pints I've had (George's marvellous medicine) in front of a lovely warm open fire, and all delivered with friendly service. Although a chance find one of the best pubs I visited and will certainly be back

One of the very best meals in a pub I’ve ever had - everything I ate was perfect. The seating in the garden is very pleasant and the staff were all very helpful and friendly (although we asked for some water a couple of times and it never arrived). The food is very very good value. The bread and butter was sublime, the mushroom and truffle risotto so creamy and decadent and the Eve’s pudding and custard so comforting and tasty. I would really like to return and try more things from the menu. Soon I hope!

Few places I take the time to post a review but this is one of them!! I stumbled across this place on a Wednesday afternoon on a work trip. The food was absolutely fantastic in particular the steak sandwich. It was recommended by Louis and Georgina which I must add went above and beyond on the service, an absolute asset to the pub!! I will be definitely be back.

The food here is outstanding, and so reasonably priced. We ate three delicious courses and paid less than £35 each. Honestly it is brilliant value. The outside area is really nice too. Only slight downside is the very tight car park, and we asked for tap water twice and never got any. But aside from that it is really great.

Branded was very well decorated for the festive season. I placed the order to collect, the order was late by the estimated time by a few minutes but it was understandable as it was Christmas Eve. Love the steaks from branded, there is a noodle dish that is very nice and my personal favourite — surf and turf. Food was still warm when I got home — great choice for dinner. My fillet was perfectly medium rare. The sauces are very nice too, not too rich.

We dined at this wonderful restaurant this afternoon. Beautiful relaxing atmosphere. Splendid customer service. Very attentive. We shared 3 starters, the Rock Shrimp Tempura, Salt and Pepper Squid, and the Wholetail Scampi. All 3 dishes were outstanding. The tartar sauce and dips were also delicious and freshly made. For mains, we had the Rib Eye and Sirloin steaks which were also marvellous and cooked to our requests perfectly and the green peppercorn sauce was delectable. Highly recommend this fabulous restaurant.

Amazing food, would definitely come back. Lovely service as well. We were 2 people and we had a tempura shrimp starter, chateubriand steak for 2, steamed broccoli, and sweet potato fries. All were delicious! I would repeat that exact same order again. Ended up being about £100 total with a couple glasses of wine on there too. We did not dine with children but there were plenty of kids in there!

Visited on a Tuesday night with no booking. Made to feel very welcome immediately, sat in the bar with a drink while looking at the menu, then taken through to our table as our food was about to arrive. Staff were all great, very knowledgeable, eloquent and entertaining. Food was incredible, well presented and great quality, steaks cooked perfectly to taste. Despites being a slow Tuesday there was still a nice atmosphere. Driven past it so many times and really glad we've now been. We will definitely be going back, so many more things on the menu to try.

Great staff, very friendly and professional. Well cooked tasty dishes

Visited with my family on a Friday night. We booked ahead but there were a few tables (we were eating a little earlier!). The restaurant is lovely inside with a nice atmosphere. They have a good selection with steaks at different price ranges and a lot of alternatives if you don't fancy a steak. Everything we got was amazing, perfectly cooked and delicious. My husband and I shared the steak platter which came with a sirloin, rib eye, 2 fillet steaks, bone marrow and all of the sides - it was a HUGE feed and very good value for money. I'd probably get something smaller next time though! Everyone was very happy. My niece was also with us and the kids menu was pretty good too. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic and very helpful when my niece wanted some chips (after our mains had arrived) she sorted them very quickly. She was lovely and very friendly and we were grateful she was so good to us. Highly recommend.

Couldn’t have asked for a better night! We had Tracey served us who was super polite, friendly and professional! She took time to answer any questions we had and explained how their menus work as it was our first time. The food was gorgeous & we will be going back very soon!! Honestly cannot recommend enough. The sharing platters are to die for, we did the sharing platter with included a fruit red wine & lobster tails, 30 oz steak and Mac and cheese as well as the normal sides and pallet cleansers you receive with any steak.

Went there for my 2 year anniversary with my partner and loved it! The staff were very friendly and congratulated us. The food was delicious and came after a short wait! The drinks were just as good and the dessert was amazing. Our server Zoe was amazing. She was very sweet, friendly, helpful and made our overall night feel comfortable and enjoyable! Definitely recommend and will be returning!

Food was good, was very full by the end, the golden money bags and the pork dumplings were my favourite. The hot ginger cocktail was my dad’s favourite. However we were seated right next to the stairs even though we made a reservation. Service was good aswell even tho it was busy, servers were attentive.

What an absolute find!! As it was mid-week, it was very quiet, which initially concerned me. We decided to chance it anyway. We started with cocktails, which were delicious and pretty. The food was outstanding for the money. The best salt and pepper squid I've ever had (and I have tried a lot). We also had the Chubby Pork Cheeks and they were beautifully cooked and so tender. The portion size was good too. However, the taste bomb that was the mushrooms and crispy tofu in tamarind sauce wrapped in some roti was epic. I couldn't stop eating it for the flavour alone. The staff were attentive but not overpowering. They were friendly and a good laugh actually. Have already recommended and would definitely return to try some other yummy looking dishes. Although it shall be hard not to revert to the same tasty dishes knowing how good they were. Great decision to eat here.

Food was really really good. However, I feel like there wasn’t enough staff on. As they weren’t very attentive. I can see that they were busy but I feel maybe they should have more people on so they can offer a better service. The atmosphere was good, but would be nice if the music was a little louder. My favourite Thai dish is a Massaman curry, when I saw they had a lamb shank Massaman I just had to get it. It DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The lamb was so tender and succulent would definitely recommend.

Amazing lunch at Giggling Squid restaurant in Sevenoaks. Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food and great selection of cocktails. I also loved the design of the restaurant, it was very creative. The place also sells Giggling Squid cook book with all the recipes that you can recreate at home! I’ve got the book now, but still am planning to visit the restaurant again

Absolutely fantastic service and ideal surroundings. We normally use Canterbury, but this restaurant was so much better. The staff could not be more helpful and attentive. It made our evening very special. Thank you.

Fantastic evening. We made a small request for our arrival and we felt very well cared for. Food was delicious and staff were friendly, funny and very accommodating. Great establishment and will certainly be back. Thank you to all at the Sevenoaks branch.

We went for a meal to celebrate my partner getting a great new job. Was welcomed with a lovely glass of fizz and well looked after throughout. Defo would recommend and visit again!

Enjoyed a few coffees. Looks like a great place to meet. Was plenty of space when I visited. Local parking is available.
