The Stanhope Arms — Restaurant in Sevenoaks

I was treated by a friend to lunch so she booked The Stanhope Arms for 13th July. I had never been there even though i have lived in Sevenoaks for over 40 years. The pub was very modern inside and they had a nice garden and dog friendly. We had a lovely greeting. We ordered the main course which was lovely i had the Teriyaki Salmon on a bed of noodles. What i didnt know was the amount of chillies it had in the bottom which led me to choke due to the heat of the chillies. They should ask how hot one wanted it as i had no idea . My friend went to order two plain vanilla ice creams and pay for the bill. She came back looking a bit angry but mentioned nothing. 15 minutes later a chocolate type sundae appeared and then my friend let rip as firstly the staff were too busy chatting and then they noticed her waiting. We kept dessert that we didnt order and it was just as well neither of us had a nut allergy as it was full of nuts. I am really surprised as pubs need to fight for their survival and this pub was empty so i would have gone out my way to get customers in. I ran a very successful pub in Sevenoaks for many years till it was torn down so i do know what im talking about. I was very disappointed as it was my...

This afternoon I had the pleasure of visiting The Stanhope Arms. Throughout my visit, from the point of entering the venue to my exit, myself and my party made to feel very welcome. We smiled at from the bar by a very welcoming gentleman behind the bar, whom I later found out to be Chris. We were given Sunday menus and we were shown to a table where our drinks order was taken. We all chose different items from the menu however this did not prove any sort of an issue as relatively quickly, when the time came for the food to come all meals were not only presented beautifully and looking incredibly appetising the taste did not disappoint either. With some of the party then going on to order puddings as well. This is one of the best meals we have had out for a long time, which was made all the more enjoyable by the extremely friendly team of the Stanhope Arms whom it would appear are one great big welcoming family.

Thoroughly recommend the Katsu Curry, The Stanhope Burger, The Sunday Roasts, with Beef, Gammon and Turkey being big hits with the group and the waffle...

Popped in for lunch, last minute plans. Newly opened this month and the refurbishment has been done to a high standard. Managed to retain a familiar and homley feel, probably due to the staff being welcoming, friendly and attentive. We sat in the conservatory room. Airy and light. I had a good look around and all other areas look great, comfortable and nicely decorated. Toilets new and spotless. Food is all the favourites, not over complicated but plenty of choice. Pricing spot on too. In fact we didn't eat elsewhere due to it being £9 for a sandwich. Here £6 for a fish finger sandwich, salad with dressing and crisps, with proper fried fish (not fingers). Dad had fish and chips and mushy peas £12.50 and mum a prawn/garlic starter dish which came with baguette bread. All very good and desserts were delicious. If you can manage it try the trio of desserts. On the day ours was the after 8 cheesecake, chocolate brownie, stocky toffee pudding and ice cream and hot drink all for £6.25. Good quality tea bags too. Nice...
