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.

I had heard good things about The Bull Hotel in Gerrards Cross. I booked that morning for the three of us to have a Sunday lunch carvery. The roast itself was very good, especially the roast potatoes and crackling. What really stood out though was their attitude to families – so very welcoming. An excellent Sunday lunch for families with young children.
Read More...The Dirty Habit, Hollingbourne
After looking for a Sunday lunch near Maidstone, I settled on The Dirty Habit in Hollingborne, a sister pub of The Vineyard and The Farmhouse. The 11 Century pub certainly had character, and I was pleased with the service initially, The roast potatoes were good, as were the vegetables. My Sticky Toffee Pudding was very sweet (a good thing), and certainly ensured I received the sugar hit I wanted. Unfortunately though, it took over 20 minutes just to receive the bill, so not one to go to if you are in a rush.

We were holidaying in Suffolk and were able to meet some family for Sunday lunch. The Swan at Lavenham had been on my list for a while now, so it was the perfect opportunity to visit it, and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent, as was the venue (with a pianist!) and the food. Definitely worth visiting The Swan at Lavenham!
