We went for the first time and had the five course tasting lunch with wine flight. It was outstanding. Food was delicious and interesting. Wine was excellent - especially the champagne. Very friendly service and welcoming vibe. Toilets were pristine. It might seem expensive but for a special meal it is worth it.

Managed to get a table when there was a cancellation. Great food. Taster menu pushed us to try some things that we wouldn't normally pick. Wine pairings were spot on.

We had the 5 course tasting menu and the starters were outstanding. The food is cooked to perfection and makes for a very light delicious lunch. The wine list is excellent and outstanding value.

Enjoyed our anniversary meal. The service was very good and loved the extra touch of the ‘anniversary wishes’ on a plate. A few thing that I didn’t like was being sat with almost touching the bar with our backs, so that drinks and staff conversations were behind us. For instance I knew that the person serving us had a sore throat!! The entrance to the toilet was to our left. I asked if we could be sat away from the toilets and was told that the toilets weren’t there but at the other end of the restaurant. The door had ‘toilet’ marked on it and it was the toilet as I used it!! I didn’t appreciate the misinformation. Needless to say we weren’t moved and had to put up with watching dinners go to the toilet and drinks being prepared and collected behind us. Not sure that I would have positioned a couple celebrating their anniversary between the toilets and bar!! The food was fine and it was good to have the information from the waiter and waitress. It was clear and they definitely had an understanding of what was being served. The variety on the menu was really good and I enjoyed tasting lots of different dishes. In terms of taste, the desserts had the best layers of flavours and textures. The starters and mains were okay but I didn’t get a wow. The presentation and quality of everything we were served was excellent. It was an okay experience and I’m glad we went. However, I’m not sure that we would go back for £245 for two people (taster menu with 5 courses with wine, two expressos and service).

It was a nice experience, not amazing, but pleasant. Food was cooked and presented well but nothing really stood out. We had the 8 course tasting menu. There were only 2 staff who seemed very rushed, and we felt hurried- before we had finished one wine or course, the next was there. The ambiance could have been better with more subtle lighting. We were sat by the door which had a sensor light come on every time anyone went to the flat above. With a few changes it could be great. With the price of £155 each plus extra for cheese, it should have been amazing

A beautifully presented restaurant with great service. The food was well thought out and tasty. Apart from the fish dish and the lamb (on the 8 course tasting menu ) the rest were cold dishes, pre prepared for quick serving. We had a great night but… For just short of £400 for 2 people, the best I can describe the experience is a fancy bread and butter starter followed by a bit of fish and lamb and a pudding. With lovely wine to accompany and a few bits of well flavoured food between. Can I have better for a lot less at home? Maybe not as well presented and perfectly cooked food but about £370 cheaper. The chef was brilliant to talk to, passionate about his craft and his kitchen was immaculate. We had a lovely evening, would we go back? No, as only tasting menu available and very expensive. Would we recommend? Yes, for an experience and an entertaining night out.

The Old Bank was simply outstanding in every respect.We had the chefs table for eight and had the eight course tasting menu.It was sublime from the start with brilliant innovation,wonderful food presentation and superb taste.My fellow guests were wowed by Adam’s creativity and three hours after we arrived we left so happy that the Old Bank is a destination restaurant and we live 200 yards away.The service was impeccable-nothing could be said other than praise all round for the front of house team which made the evening such a warm pre-Xmas event. Simply brilliant Ed,Jenny and friends

Consistently outstanding and always with a good vibe. Now only tasting menus, some had dietary requirements - it was no problem to substitute a few dishes. Size of courses was perfect with the 5 course menu. Plus we had the excellent cheese course. The food is innovative, the presentation outstanding and always fresh flavours. Great friendly service. My only complaint - they no longer open for Sunday lunch (which was always excellent). This place really deserves a Michelin star.
This restaurant is settled in the heart of Westerham Town.I came for an evening meal, and the menu choices were tasting menus, either 5 or 8 courses.We decided on the 5 course.The food was fresh and original.Every course was beautifully presented and tasted equality delicious.This restaurant definitely serves a Michelin star ?The restaurant was elegant and crisp looking.All the staff were friendly,attentive and nothing was too much trouble.This was a fine dining experience with class and reasonably priced.I'd highly recommend if you like the fine dining experience and I'd definitely return when back in the area.

A first class fine dining experience. The front of house team are an absolute asset to the restaurant and the chef is incredibly talented. They were able to accommodate our pescatarian diet for the 8 course tasting menu with ease. A gem in the area. We will be back!

We went to The Old Bank for a birthday meal. We have only ever done one other tasting menu meal before (Jason Atherton) so still very new to us. We were blown away! It did not disappoint. I’d actually argue it was better than Pollen st. The variation of food was superb, some dishes were like main courses (in size) it took us a good 3 hours but it was absolute perfection. Would highly recommend and we would love to go back to try a different menu. Excellent value for money. The team are also a credit to the operation- we loved it!! The celeriac dish was my favourite - never had anything like it. The wine list very comprehensive and reasonably priced. The setting and atmosphere is also perfect- it didn’t feel too formal but special enough to also feel comfortable. What a credit to Westerham this little gem is!
