The White Hart, Brasted

September 30, 2012 By John

I have been wanting to visit The White Hart in Brastead, part of Sevenoaks, Kent for a while now. After having lunch on a Saturday at their sister pub, The George in Hayes, we decided to visit them.

The venue itself was a perfect, contemporary country inn, with wooden beams, log burning fires and rustic carpet. The service was good, one or two mistakes but mostly rectified without an issue. The Sunday roast itself was excellent with great meat (I had lamb, Claire had chicken), interesting vegetable medley, good roast potatoes and nice gravy. A good selection of desserts, I had an upside-down sundae.

Overall, an excellent venue for a celebratory Sunday lunch.

The Fox, Keston

I was looking for another Sunday lunch in the local area and decided on The Fox in Keston – it seemed to be a good place to go with my grandparents.

Upon arriving, we noticed the F1 on the TVs, and it being very crowded. This may have affected the service, as I found it to be very slow (and mistakes were made during the meal, such as the wrong food being brought out). Overall, we found the lunch to be quite nice, but was very much let down by the acoustics of the venue.

The Coney, West Wickham

We were suggested to try Sunday lunch at The Coney in West Wickham (part of Bromley). I was unsure when we arrived whether this would be a good place, it was on the main road, and quite crowded outside. I needn’t have been worried though, we found the service to be upbeat and helpful. The Sunday lunch was good and very hearty – a lot of food was served, the roast beef was tender, vegetables fresh and gravy flavoursome. Also, great use of herbs and seasoning.

Overall, a recommended Sunday lunch at The Coney.

The Royal Oak, Romney Marsh

As avid Sunday lunch fans, we have regularly had Romney Marsh lamb, so decided we must go somewhere to give it a go. We settled on having Sunday lunch at The Royal Oak, Brooklands in Romney Marsh, Kent.

We arrived a bit earlier and settled in the bar for a quick drink. The pub area was nice and clean, the owners obviously take care of it. The service here was ok, but unfortunately my Yorkshire pudding was completely burnt. Also, the roast potatoes were burnt on one site. It’s a shame, as the Romney Marsh lamb was nice and delicate. Claire’s lunch was very nice though, so I think this was more of a one off.
