George & Dragon, Wrothamback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Local type pub but friendly all the same. Beer choice was Adnams, London Pride or Youngs Special. Tried the latter, which was just OK. Probably would not return as a beer tourist but pub does the job for the locals as appears quite popular.

Having read the reviews on this site I was really looking forward to enjoying a nice meal in the pub's garden. What a disappointment.
Service was incredibly slow and I should have guessed when my Pimms & lemonade was served without so much as a lemon slice that this was not going to be a good experience.
The beer garden was littered with numerous empty drinks cans and ketchup sachets. The mess had clearly been there for some time because the grass had been mowed and the cuttings were lying on top of the rubbish. The garden also contained a plastic slide and seesaw, both of which were filthy and no parent in their right mind would want their children anywhere near.
I had only been in the beer garden for a few minutes when a jack russell owned by the pub was released into the garden. Having clearly been stuck in the pub all afternoon, the first thing the animal did was pee next to our picnic table - charming. The dog then proceeded to race back and forth non-stop across the garden in an alarmingly systematic fashion, reminiscent of how caged animals pace around their enclosures. This was a very distressing sight and only made the surroundings even more unpleasant.
Sevenoaks is full of lovely pubs and this is definitely one to avoid. Needless to say I didn't order any food here and will never come back.

My wife and I had Sunday lunch there yesterday.
Excellent food, everything was as clean as a whistle, very friendly staff, very reasonable price. Sorry there wasn't more customers there (for their sakes).
Will definitely go back - it makes a change from indifferent service in grubby expensive pubs.

As a hiker, I was glad to see some good honest boozer on our trip, and that's more than I can say for the competition, which, mostly, isn't there..
Here's the bad bit;- the beer garden is the dog toilet. The dog is charming, but no way would I let any toddler of mine use the rocky-horse there, because the dog would probably have been there before. This pub has a captive clientele.
Look under the benches before you sit down.

This felt like a proper community oriented Pub, good for old farts like me, but also catered for the young at the back, I was very impressed and loved the internet in the bar and the fact it was open on a Saturday afternoon.
