The Moat - Sevenoaks

Large family Sunday dinner celebration. Historical, pub-like setting. Very busy, noisy and kid-friendly. We ordered a mixture of roast beef and roast chicken dinners. Unfortunately, it's not possible to order rare, medium or well-done and our meat was closer to well-done. I would have preferred medium-rare. The Yorkshire puddings are huge and overly crispy. The vegetables are outstanding! A really good location for a family gathering.

The food was fantastic. I had a prawn cocktail starter. It was HUGE. I was expecting the usual 6 prawns and a bowl of iceberg lettuce. There was lettuce, but the bowl was stuffed with prawns. Then I had the cod and chips, the regular portion (for the love of God, don't go large unless you're feeding your whole family) it was enormous, beautifully cooked and delicious. Then, just because I wasn't planning on eating again this month, I had the chocolate orange mousse. Suffice to say, service was fabulous and I will be back (although maybe next time we should stay and sample the wines)

We had a fantastic date lunch at the Moat. It's a lovely historic pub with a great atmosphere. We made an online booking to secure a table that requires £20 per head deposit. We had some really good food and the staff were all very welcoming and friendly. We will certainly be making another booking

Just had the most amazing meal for my birthday with the family. They have been so accommodating and the food was absolutely amazing. We all had different and everyone said how lovely the meal was. The staff were so friendly and on point. It was so busy too but it was so cosy and relaxed we didn't have to wait at all between meals considering how many of us there was. We are not that local but will definitely be going back again. We'll worth the journey out. Thanks again for the perfect birthday meal xx

The Moat itself is the perfect winter wedding venue, it’s cosy yet spacious , beautifully decorated and the food is incredible! They aren’t phased by dietary requirements or tailoring the day to the individuals. If you are engaged, get to the Moat for a tour and book your perfect day! Prices are very competitive, and the accommodation is perfect too. No need to go anywhere, the whole day is effortlessly hosted on site from start to finish. Thank you again for giving us special memories of our perfect day! And even better, we can return for our anniversary celebrations in the future to dine in your equally wonderful restaurant!

We cannot recommend The Moat enough....the truly pulled off the most incredible wedding for us. From our first visit, through all the planning and the day itself we had exemplary service, care, warmth and organisation. They made everything so easy, were willing to go above and beyond and put us at ease.

Special shout out to our coordinator on the day, Amy. When we arrived the day before to drop off our stuff she was so knowledgeable, helpful and calm as well as bringing such a positive vibe. All our family and guests commented on how wonderful she was.

The space is just so beautiful and all the facilities (including the hotel rooms) are top notch. The food was particularly spectacular, we had the family style service and everything was delicious, hot and plentiful.

The team at The Moat liaise with all your vendors and make everything so easy including the registrar people, band, photographer etc.

It's the perfect venue if you want somewhere that's going to make planning straightforward but at the same time not feel like it's just a cookie cutter wedding venue that pumps out weddings on repeat. The place is somewhere we'll always go back to as a pub for years to come and it's got a lot of character and charm. It was also comparably great value, wedding prices are usually extortionate but I think their rates are very fair.

We had the best day of our lives and highly highly recommend The Moat to anyone looking for a venue in the area.

The staff at the moat are friendly, the food is very good and prices are ok.
The wait was longer than I'd expect and we had to find someone to order coffees before our meal.
I would return on a less hectic day as this was just before Christmas and they may have had a member of staff off or something so will definitely return as overall I left with a positive experience

Went for a family meal to celebrate my birthday… food was fantastic, including my vegetarian dish. Service excellent, staff polite and friendly. Had my two young grandchildren with us on Friday evening and they were welcomed and catered for.
Really can’t fault the evening and will most definitely return … infact planning to re visit very soon.
