British classics in Orpington

“My first time at this fish and chip shop It was a great experience. The food was lovely and freshly made, their staff were really welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended to pop in!”

“Recently discovered this place and all I can say is the food is amazing. The flavours of the food is 100% indian as the name. Do visit the place guys highly recommended from my side.”

“It was my birthday meal and everything was perfect. The pork belly bites are like candy that is sticky and melts in your mouth at the same time. My friend has mushrooms on toast to start and they were yummy with the combo of shrooms and that sauce. We then both had burgers - she beef and me chicken and they were excellent. They were very accommodating she didn’t want the bacon on hers but I did. The fries were so good and stayed hot for a long time. I also had an Islay old-fashioned - heavenly. We didn’t have room for dessert but they brought us out a couple of brownie bites and the were divine. I would definitely eat here again.”

“My 1st visit was November 24 and somehow I got mixed feelings for this place. After reading good reviews and that they have been rewarded one of the best when I went there felt a little disappointing. Stuff were absolutely chaotic and shouting to one another not paying attention to clients. The menu was missing many meals who can you have a fish section and only serve prawns and no other fish. I ordered keema naan and it was crispy and had like a blob of meat in the middle. Most of the food I eat in other places is far better. The atmosphere with this blue light is blinding.”

“A true family run authentic restaurant. The owners put their hearts and souls into it and it really shows in the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere.”

“Great food - the fish soup is full of flavor and supplemented with a small basket of tasty bread, king prawn risotto is super delicious Good service, only £14.8 for two courses at lunch is absolutely worth for value Only a small drawback is that the cappuccino is just fair”

“I recently visited this Mediterranean restaurant with a friend on a Friday afternoon. The place was nearly empty due to covid19. As per the restaurant manager there's more footfall during Mondays to Wednesdays because of 50% off from the benefits of eat out government policy . The food served was fresh and delicious. The service was impeccable. Since there was no one else in the restaurant, social distancing was easily carried out.”

“Ho comprato una casa in Italia : Inverigo (Como, Lombardia). Allora, Il Primo Caffe ed un piacere mangiare qui. E veramente un Caffe Italiano Autentico, buonissimo espresso, tutti quanti mangia bene ogni volta, senza dubio. Amazing super friendly and genuine Italian proprietor. The young Italian “Bossman” and myself talk in Italian and his passion and love for his venue is obvious to see. I bought a Summer home in Inverigo (a province of Comi about 20 miles North of Milan in 2005) and our Family try to go on vacation there every year. Highly recommend Primo Caffe without a doubt it is the BEST COFFEE and serves a beautiful selection of Authentic Italian food, in Orpington. Caveat : it can get SUPER BUSY (which is a good sign of an excellent venue). Ciao”

“My friends & I went to this superb restaurant for lunch today. I have been here on numerous occasions. It never dissappoints! . My friends loved it. VIV’s new favourite. I had mussels and skate for main. Vegetables cooked to perfection. I could go on and on how good this restaurant is. Looking forward to coming back soon. 5⭐️+”

“Here, just in the centre of the village of Downe, we have the most lovely country pub you can imagine, with a good range of real ales, an amazing garden out back with several different areas, a delicious and affordable food menu, and just a short walk away from Charles Darwin's house. What more could you want. It's situated right next door to the village church, which is where the hourly TfL bus 146 from Bromley terminates, and the R8 also calls. Definitely worthy of a visit in itself.”

“Very nice restaurant, clean and tidy, the staff are friendly, food is delicious. I will definitely come back again”

“Super friendly and personable. They have a huge menu range, and everything is soo tasty with something for everyone, and caters to dietary requirements too. Service is amazing, and very family friendly. It's super clean, bright and spacious (to get a pram in). A treat for us all!”

“This little gem was an amazing find Hosted a Baby Shower here on Saturday and cannot express how accommodating The staff were. Dan was very flexible and encouraged us to decorate, provide a playlist that he played through the function room sound system, he allowed us to go in early before the booking to decorate too. There is plenty room for a sit down occasion or a full disco/dj party. A back door leads out to the garden and a separate area too. The room has plenty of sockets and a bar, buffet food is an option too. Had an amazing time and everyone complimented on the venue and how quaint, country-feel yet quirky it was. Perfect, Thank you !”

“Delicious Indian food with really pleasant and friendly staff. Portions are good and the food is well presented. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be returning :)”

“Excellent pub, great for live music”

“A really lovely local pub.We received a warm welcome from the Land Lady (on my very first visit today) and from the regulars who constantly fed my Golden Retriever with treats. Next time, I won't bother to feed him beforehand!! I will certainly be returning, especially as it's in walking distance.”

“I’m the kebab dude in the Burberry shorts :) I told them I’d leave a review as my meal was phenomenal, the chicken kebab is to die for, you guys should put a big sign outside advertising it! You could go viral over a meal like that!”

“Our last walk of the year on the 30th Dec 2023, resulted in us having a small refreshment stop here. We were warmly welcomed, upon entering this gem of a traditional pub. The menu looked to be a great choice of the usual pub food. I'll note here that there's a large selection of pies. Which included their Festive December Pie. We weren't hungry on this occasion so chose their basket food, which was reasonably priced and arrived quickly. The rest room facilities were clean and tidy, and I'll note the men's was larger than most for this area. A queue for these would be a rare thing I'd say. In summary a cosy atmosphere, and warm unlike many pubs I've visited recently. I am looking forward to another walk in this area, so I can try out the pies of The George and Dragon.”

“Had a great time on Friday night at the Queens head. The pub was electric and the music was terrific, would very much recommend it. The staff were very friendly and efficient especially Jack the landlord and Tracey.”

“Enjoyed a takeaway of Rock and chips, freshly cooked to order. Very tasty. Great service, greeted with a smile. Recommend”

“Gowri was and always is the best assistance in any m&s store I’ve ever experienced, and m&s is my only go to. Any staff of there’s are always eager to help and such a pleasure to talk too but Gowri is so helpful, quick and dedicated to her roll. Thank you for all your help darling x”
