Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The White Hart
Upmarket Brunning & Price dining pub, with a multi-room interior which - apart from the conservatory extension - is very traditionally furnished and decorated. Outdoor seating on the front lawn and in the rear beer garden. The 'L'-shaped bar counter features two banks of six handpumps, with a duplicated selection of the 'house' Traditional Bitter, Harvey's, Goldhawk from Lakedown and Gun's Old Ale (£5.80) on this first revisit for eight years.

Cask was Harvey’s Sussex Best, the British Bulldog from Westerham, the Perry St Pale from Iron Pier and St Austell Tribute. Keg was Asahi, AF Ghost Ship, B&C Old Mount cider, Peroni, Guinness, Staro, West St lager from Dorking Brewery, Becks, Cornish Orchards cider, Camden Pale Ale. Westerham Bohemian Rhapsody on the boards but I couldn't see at the bar.
Large roadside pub up the hill out of the town centre. On a wet day it was a taxi from the station for me! Plenty of car parking and outside seating space but out of action on my visit, even for a quick wander around. The L shaped traditional wooden bar counter feels like the heart of the pub, which is bare boarded with some rugs dotted around the dining areas particularly. Tall stool seating at the bar was the only option open to me as the venue was doing a roaring food trade. The area to the immediate left of the entrance with one side of the bar facing it seemed to be the main conventional seating area for drinks, the rest of the many rooms and nooks and crannies seemed to be tables set for diners. Almost all of the bare brick walls between the windows and internal plastered walls were smothered with framed prints and photos. Clearly an old coaching inn, low ceilings, beams, and a lot of character, especially cosy at this time of year. The white uPVC conservatory at the rear side out of keeping with the rest of the venue but must have been a no brainer to add additional dining seating here.

An imposing whitewashed old coaching inn situated a good mile out from Sevenoaks town centre and close to Knole House and park. A Brunning and Price operation as this upmarket chain moves south from its north west origins so no surprise to find the usual mix of good food and a decent selection of cask ales. Inside there are numerous connected areas, some more food centric but not exclusively so, the flooring is mostly polished boards but carpeted one end as well as in the conservatory which has views over the extensive gardens and the Weald beyond, a number of exposed brick fireplaces including a large through version will be great in the winter months.
The walls are literally festooned with all sorts of framed stuff, of interest were old Kent maps, cricket related stuff, vintage cars as well as the more risque stuff in one corner. There are bookcases, board games and newspapers on top of a bureau, a big pub is this so despite the food operation there is loads of room to settle in and relax with a drink.
The excellent beer selection today were Harvey's Sussex Best, Old Dairy Blue Top plus also Flight of the Kiwi, Wantsum Red Raddle, Adnam's Ghost Ship, Tonbridge Blonde Ambition and Long Man Old Man. The house beer is B&P Bitter, brewed by Phoenix of Manchester. There was a local Kent cider in a covered chilled box behind the bar.
Mains between £10.95 to £16.95 with steak more, sandwiches from £5.95.
This is not by any description a typical drinkers place for a session, in fact unless you are a walker it is really a driving destination but it is a decent spot for what was needed today and I liked it.

Absolutely Fantastic pub, has everything you need, Great Beers, Wines & Ciders along with cracking good food. The thing that makes this pub worth travelling to is the staff, the service is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. If that is not enough for you blokeys then let me tell you that behind that bar you will find the hottest barmaids this side of Texas
So head down there and speak to Chris (Grand Fromage), Oli, Beccie, Alex or Phoebe and tell em His Lordship sent you ;-)
