Reviews of pubs and restaurants with a great garden on Best Sunday Roast

The Bo Peep, Chelsfield

December 14, 2012 By John

We were recommended to visit Bo Peep in Chelsfield, Bromley in Kent. I gave them a call and was able to book a table to the following day.

This was a 14 century country-inn – it was quite cold outside which unfortunately meant it was also cold inside. There was a large fire, but this was in the main part of the restaurant, whereas we were in the annex. Thankfully though, they put the heating on for us!

Our starters were good. Our main courses were excellent – the roast lamb was probably some of the best I have ever had out, the roast potatoes were crunchy, the selection of vegetables were also very good. The service here was “ok”, could have been quite a bit better, although they were very busy. Overall, a 4 out of 5 review for The Bo Peep in Chelsfield, Bromley.

The Horns, Otford

November 18, 2012 By John

After a bit of exploring online, I decided to give The Horns in Otford, Sevenoaks a shot and we weren’t disappointed.

The service here was top-notch, we really felt they cared that we enjoyed our time here. The wood burning stove gave the venue a nice, warm, atmosphere.

The food quality was excellent, the quantity was enough to keep me satisfied – I did still have a sticky toffee pudding for dessert (which was excellent). The roast lamb was very tender, the roast potatoes were good (although would have preferred a bit crunchier) and the vegetables were nice. The Yorkshire pudding was fantastic, light and airy whilst still being crunchy.

Overall, The Horns received a very well deserved 5 plate score (Top Rated).

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

September 24, 2012 By John

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 Royal Oak, Romney Marsh

September 9, 2012 By John

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.
