Guthrie Pavilion - Sevenoaks

Restaurant is a lovely space and the small number of staff that were there were helpful but the booking system using QR codes is awful and time consuming. We ordered our food only for it to crash and we had to start again. The food was massively overpriced and not warm enough. I ordered scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. It came on a small piece of toast with a small amount of salmon on the side. That was it. £14!!! So disappointing. My husband had the breakfast but his hash brown was grey in the middle from being left under a heat lamp too long presumably. We sent it back and the chef said we had a bruised one. Never heard such rubbish. His breakfast was also on the small side and cost £15. Such a rip off for what we received. My advice is take a picnic and enjoy the grounds instead of being ripped off.

Beautiful building and lovely waiting staff let down by what they are serving, lukewarm and weak tea and coffee with burnt Danish pastries. Would not recommend.

I had a delicious lunch at this restaurant, which included chicken, seasonal vegetables, roast potatoes, apple tart with custard, and a choice of wine, coffee, or tea. It was very enjoyable.

The sandwiches were bland and boring made with soggy white bread. The scones had forgotten to rise and were like hard, tasteless pellets. I didn't even bother trying any of the cakes though my husband did. He said they tasted shop bought and the Bakewell tart appeared to be a Mr Kipling one cut in half. We were not offered a top up of tea. The service was pretty lame and they only had 3 tables occupied to cope with. At £22.75 per head it is way overpriced. This is more than we paid for afternoon tea at the famous Betty's in their Imperial Room overlooking the Stray in Harrogate in elegant surroundings.

Thought we would have lunch here after visiting the castle. Going up to the counter to choose our sandwich, we could not read what any of the contents were as they had been placed in the cabinet with labels facing wrong way. So had to ask a member of staff to go through them all. After choosing a wrap consisting of Avocado, carrot and hummus I paid for it and thought it a bit expensive £4.95 but took it to our table. First bite was just all shredded slightly old carrot ,so I decided to unwrap it. Not only was there no avocado, but the hummus must have been put on then scrapped off. What a rip off as they had put cucumber in thin slices instead of Avocado. I took it to the manager and did get a refund, but no apology or offered any alternative. Shocking price for a shredded carrot wrap !!! If this cafe is run by Pru Leith, then perhaps I can have her contact details to see if she is aware of the poor quality wrap I was given !
