The Oak Tavern And Tap House

The only pub we could get a table for Sunday lunch on Fathers Day we took a chance (after reading some of the dreadful reviews) and booked. Sadly the poor reviews were correct. Split into two with an area for eating and a bar section it was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday afternoon which gave a rather flat atmosphere. I will say all of the staff we dealt with were exceptionally friendly and helpful so from the outset we felt welcomed and looked after. Sadly this was the only positive of the lunch. Four out of five of us ordered the roast beef, unusually for a pub, there was no wine list so when the order was taken our server reeled off a number of drinks we could order which was not ideal as we had no idea of price. When the meal arrived the beef was inedible it was so tough, the roast potatoes were so hard you couldn't get a knife through them and a rather dry Yorkshire pudding. Limited veg was served with the meal but the gravy was decent. The fifth diner ordered burger and chips and had no complaints. We did complain about the roasts and one meal was deducted. We were charged £18 a head for the beef roast my advice is save yourself some pennies and go to your local Toby!

Went for the LFC match, which was removed for viewing in favour of the adverts for the 6 Nations 20 minutes before match started. When we suggested basic common sense to staff we were, ‘not to be $hitty.’ Outrageous. We live in Sevenoaks, have been many times…. Would not go back if it were free!

Booked after seeing all their advertising to watch the 6 Nations on their Big Screen which looked ideal. Unfortunately what they didn't tell you was that the Big Screen was run off a firestick and a really dodgy Wi Fi which meant that we missed quite a bit of the game due to constant buffering. No one seemed to have an idea how to improve it. Won't be doing that again..

I could be popping in at the wrong times but what should be thriving pub is always fairly quiet. The pricing is to be expected for Sevenoaks high street but needs more support from people passing through.

My daughters and I visited for Sunday roast and the food itself was fantastic but a bit over crowded on the plate making it difficult to negotiate around items but the quality was there. The service was not the best but I think the staff may all be new as no one knew what was happening but were very pleasant just in need of direction. With a few tweaks to service it could be a good place.
