One difference matters. The Chaser takes no online bookings for 24, 25 and 26 December, so you have to phone 01732 810360 or email. It publishes a Boxing Day menu too. Stumble Hill, Shipbourne TN11 9PE.

Mains include fillet of British beef, Cornish monkfish, British turkey breast and a wild mushroom, spinach and celeriac pithivier. Booking is through the pub’s Christmas page. There is more on the town in our Westerham page.
Pubs with no Christmas Day menu
Several of the best-known pubs near Sevenoaks have festive menus for December but nothing for Christmas Day itself.
- George and Dragon, Chipstead: says plainly it is closed on Christmas Day. It serves its usual menu on Christmas Eve (George and Dragon).
- Bucks Head, Godden Green: its three-course Christmas menu, £42 a head, runs 28 November to 22 December only (Bucks Head Christmas menu).
- The Samuel Palmer, Shoreham: a £48 festive set menu from 23 November, and no Christmas Day menu on its site (The Samuel Palmer).
- The Chequers and the Oak Tavern, Sevenoaks High Street: both are taking Christmas bookings, but neither lists a Christmas Day menu.
If you have your heart set on one of these, ring them. A pub that publishes nothing may still open for drinks.
Booking tips for Christmas Day
Christmas Day tables go first, and two of the six pubs want full payment by 1 December. A few things to check before you pay:
- What the deposit covers. At the Bull and the Chaser it is £20 a head, taken off the bill.
- The service charge. On a £120 menu, a 10% charge adds £12 a head. At 12.5%, a £100 menu becomes £112.50.
- Children’s prices. Only the Windmill, the Kings Head and Bel and the Dragon publish one. Elsewhere, ask.
- Serving times. The White Hart serves food only from noon to 2pm.
- Getting home. No National Rail trains run on 25 December (National Rail), so plan a lift or a taxi. Our Christmas train times page has the full service changes.
