About
We are a country pub in the beautiful village of Heaverham, near Kemsing, Sevenoaks. We are a small family business who are dedicated to providing the best quality meals from locally sourced providers, including Chart Farm who are just down the road. We have a vast selection of Shepherd Neame ales, wines and other drinks available. After moving into The Chequers in July 2019 we have worked hard to bring the pub back to it's former glory and it has had a brilliant facelift, bringing it up to date but retaining all the features we love. We have a large garden to enjoy the sunshine and host traditional Bat and Trap events. We welcome walk-ins but advice booking at peak times, i.e. for Sunday dinner…

Wonderful country pub serving excellent food!

We visited for a mid-week lunch to celebrate a birthday. The pub was busy but not crowded and there was a lovely atmosphere. Our waitress was very pleasant and the food (burgers and fish and chips) was really excellent. Best local pub for miles around!

Great food and service

We have visited a few times since pubs re-opened but have chosen to sit outside and have always been more than happy with the service provided. The family have agreed that the vegan burgers and hot dogs have been sublime, fish and chips absolute perfection...More
