The Halfway House, Sevenoaks

Just had a fantastic quality meal at exceptional value. Coq au vin with spinach and celeriac mash for only £7.90. This lovely old pub has changed hands at least twice since the last reviews. It has been tastefully renovated and has both really friendly bar staff and customers. They sell Harveys beer and a few others.

The catering is provided by Parkers Kitchen and is really delicious. All the main courses are about £7.90. You really need to order by about 7:30 or let them know you are coming and order by 8pm. Food is available every night except Mon. The menu is limited but changes often.

There is a record player in the upper bar and a good collection of LPs. You can even bring your own. Later in the evening, the customers tend to leaf through the collection and play some old favourites. The younger ones have to be shown how to carefully lower the needle onto the record and select a specific track!

There is parking for about 4 cars in the car park at the rear but you can box cars in as the drivers will know where to find you. You can park in the Lidl car park next door during the evening but be warned that after 90 mins you automagically get a parking ticket.

Spread the word about this lovely pub and maybe they'll keep the kitchen open a little later.
