This certainly was a wildcard – a rundown hotel, probably damaged by fire. It seemed like they were going through renovations, but taking their time with it! The food was good, lots of curly kale and nice roast beef – but some of our party found it unpleasant eating in room with extensive fire damage!

A friend highly recommended The Snail in Sevenoaks, so I booked up for a lunch when the opportunity arose. Ample parking meant a stress free arrival, which continued throughout the meal. We ate in the restaurant, the staff were welcoming and helpful with our 20 month old, JW. In fact, one of the best family lunches we have had on this site. The food was superb, with extremely tender meat and an excellent Yorkshire pudding.
Overall, a Top Rated Sunday lunch for The Snail in Sevenoaks.
