Costa coffe in Sevenoaks

Really weird vibes, below average coffee for an above average price. Go somewhere else, this is not worth the money

A quirky little coffee shop. Comfy seats. Good food and service.

I had a couple of hours to kill while on business in Sevenoaks, and fancied an all day breakfast. I googled and found this little place off the beaten track (didn't want to pay for parking!). Really tasty full English breakfast and a good cup of coffee, and ever so great value at £8.00. Maybe not the greatest venue, but definitely worth it for the food.

I’ve been going to this cafe on and off for 10 years. I have to say my experience has gone downhill since Covid. My recent visit has been very disappointing . I ordered a Spinach and Mushroom Quiche with salads. First of all, the Quiche was still frozen in the middle. Secondly, I didn’t even have time to argue because my daughter has been stung by a wasp. Totally understood this is normal in warm weather but the Cafe’s reaction has been shocking. I went to the counter to ask for some ice. It took at least 5 mins for the waiter to get it despite I can see a bag of ice lying on the table with 1 waitress standing next to it chatting to another lady. I asked can someone just give me the ice as my daughter is crying in pain. I was told someone has gone to get first aid and they can’t “just give me the ice”. After another 5 mins, the first aid has finally showed up. After asking what happened, his words are: oh…..I’m afraid there is not much I can do. I said can you grab me some ice please? It is at that point we finally got the ice!!! I washed my daughter’s wound with some soapy water after a quick google on what to do. I’m not a fully qualified first aid by no means. The cafe has an outside sitting area and wasp sting would be very common. Pleas train your staff on what to do or get some wasps trap like Polhill did. Very disappointing and I would have to end my visit after 10 years. Service standard has gone down too. Most of them look like they don’t want to work there and have a terrible attitude.

My partner & I visited this gorgeously quaint pub for the first time a week ago for lunch with our daughters as we wanted to enjoy a family meal together before visiting Hever Castle. The service was very good and the food was delicious. However the experience was spoilt by a family of four adults and their four young children, who were sitting behind us, who were not well behaved (I.e. the children were ‘allowed’ to continue shouting despite being told not to and worse of all one Dad cleaned his son’s face after their meal whilst the child stood on the furniture)! Their behaviour as a family showed a lack of respect for everyone else at the pub, especially the staff. Who lets their children stand on someone else’s furniture, let alone with dirty shoes on?! We will return but at a different time when hopefully badly behaved young children wont be in attendance.
