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⭐️+”

“Have popped in a couple of times by myself when working from home and wanted a walk/something different for lunch. Always very pleasant staff. Varied menu. Nice decor. Quick service (particularly one time when had forgotten I had an appointment to rush off to). Sometimes have special offers/menus. Not a coffee drinker but tried teas and other offers.”

“Excellent espresso, pastries, hot chocolate, location, and ambiance. This coffee shop is indeed a great place to kill your time, do business, and to study as well. The coffees and hot chocolates they had was so delicious. The owner was so welcoming and friendly. The place was so cozy. The decorations were so cute. Highly recommended.”

“LoPeto Is a little Cafe haven in Priory Gardens Park where you can enjoy the best coffee and cake surrounded by the beauty of this historic park. Ideal for friend's and family or if you just want to have some yourself. The staff are friendly, especial Gil who will always greet you with a happy smile !”

“Lovely environment with great food and friendly staff. We will be coming back many times.”

“Friendly staff, nice little garden area and pool table.”

“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.”

“Was welcomed promptly and taken to our seats even though we had no reservations (recommended on weekends). Food was of high quality and served promptly. The service was warm and welcoming and we were treated to live instrumental and vocal music and belly dancing on the Saturday we went. We loved the experience and this is definitely on our list of 'visit again' restaurants.”

“Wow! Amazed today coming into the five bells It’s been taken over by new owners and they are absolutely lovely! Me and my partner got the bells beef burger each with bacon and cheese bacon was perfectly crispy burger was lovely! Was sooo nice. And we got onion rings too honestly amazing food and such a lovely family pub. Have play slides for the kids a huge garden nicely decorated. Such a warm feeling when walking in we have now booked in for a Sunday roast. And can’t wait to try it, also the house wine is divine and got price! This will now be our ongoing local. X”

“Excellent menu choice and good value for money. Highly recommend this cafe.”

“Me and my husband have just come here. Husband had a breakfast and it was delicious. I had waffles with strawberries, bananas, coconut ice cream and Nutella. I thought that it would be healthy!!!!! I couldn’t fault it. Will definitely be back”

“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 !”

“The Bull Inn is renowned for its Sunday roast, and it's no surprise that the pork dish left you impressed with its delicious flavor. It's a testament to their commitment to serving quality food, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal.”

“Great atmosphere.sooo cosy with real wood burner.wonderful friendly staff.. reasonable price.for food and drink .. recommend!!!”

“Had my baby brunch here with my group of friends was a really love place to host a special day. Food was great. And we had a lovely lad Luca hosting our table great service and all around really lovely cosy pub/restaurant. Will be back with the family…”

“An unlikely stop, that turned out to be a great stop! A beautiful pub, they made us feel very welcome, great beer and great people. We didn't have time to stay for a meal unfortunately.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Coffee X is fantastic! Debbie is always friendly, welcoming, and makes every visit a pleasure. Great coffee, lovely atmosphere, and excellent service — definitely my favourite local spot!”

“Absolute little gem in Green Street Green. Had 4 lunches this week and loved every single one. Menu is so different from all the rest of the other cafés. Plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. Had a different dessert every day, felt spoilt for choice. The best carrot cake I've ever eaten, and the blondie and the brownie... My partner had not fried, but baked big breakfast and absolutely LoVe it. Noticed owner knew his customers by name, very special for me. And the coffee is indeed the best. We will miss not working in the area and getting fed by Belmondo”

“Ive been coming them for years now and they have always done a perfect job always friendly verry helpful and the food is perfect 100% recommend to everyone”

“Food was good and the staff friendly (Elise-sorry if I’ve misremembered your name). The place was clean and comfortable with easy parking. There was a small delay with the food being served at that particular time due to a wake being held in another private room but we were kept informed and apologies were offered. Would recommend The Chelsfield Arms.”

“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.”

“Came here when visiting family. Glorious old building housing a warm & friendly pub. The food is typical but very well done pub fayre & the beer is very well kept. Value for money on the food is also excellent. A very good pub that does what pubs should do. We will be back”

“Our 1st visit and we are already planning a return visit. A very busy Sunday afternoon, but the food was delicious I had the duck which was divine hubby had roast chicken (as they had sold out of the beef, it did look delicious and we would have ordered that for the 3 of us, hopefully next time), roast potatoes were a little hard and the roast pork was dry. Pistachio souffle was superb. The service was very, very good. Friendly, polite and engaging.”

“What a lovely cosy place , perfect for families. Visited them with my family for a dinner. Staff was courteous and they don’t push meals on you. You can relax and enjoy your food in luxury of your time. We loved all what we order right from drinks , tapas , mains and sundaes . Fired chicken with Bombay spices was extraordinary and I loved the bang bang chicken with noodles the most. Will revisit soon. Thanks”

“Had such a gorgeous lunch here yesterday for my sisters birthday. There were 14 of us including 5 feral children and the waiting staff were all so patient and lovely. Particular shout out to our main waiter Tom who was absolutely amazing, so helpful and smiley and never made us feel like a pain! Nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely, big portions and nice quality. The play area is of course great for the kids. Will definitely be back - thank you!”

“Love this place, been a few times and tte food is great. Staff are really friendly also.”

“A Hidden Gem with Wonderful Improvements! I’ve been visiting this bakery as of recent, and I have to say, the improvements since the change of staff have been incredible. It’s always been a lovely little spot, but now it truly shines! The selection of cakes and food is fantastic—everything is fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The coffee is brilliant too, with a great range of options to suit everyone’s taste. Whether you fancy a strong espresso or a creamy latte, they get it just right every time. The staff are a real credit to the place—so friendly, polite, and genuinely welcoming. It’s a small, family-run business, and you can tell they put their heart into everything they do. Cleanliness is clearly a top priority here. The ingredients are always fresh, and the tables, chairs, and cutlery are spotless. It’s also reassuring to see their hygiene rating proudly displayed at the front of the shop. One of the best things about this bakery is the space. It’s not cramped like some cafés, and there’s even a lovely garden where you can sit outside and enjoy your food in the fresh air. It’s such a peaceful spot to relax, especially on a sunny day. Given the rise in the cost of living, I also really appreciate that the prices here are very reasonable. You get great quality food and drinks without feeling like you’re overspending, which makes it even easier to keep coming back! All in all, I highly recommend this bakery. It’s a warm, welcoming place with great food, fantastic coffee, and lovely people running it. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!”

“Managed to get a last minute booking for Sunday lunch and how happy I was that we did. From the minute we arrived and were welcomed, by Joel our waiter, the experience just got better and better. Joel was lovely and so good with the children as well. Advised us on food options and very courteous and friendly. And the roast dinner was just amazing, I had lamb rump, 2 of us had the trio of roast and 1 had the pie of the day. Food was absolutely great, best roast dinner I have had for years. Will be back.”

“Finished my walk in Farnborough Village and really glad I stumbled upon this traditional public house. Professional & friendly bar staff. Clean interior. Real ale was kept in excellent condition. Competitive prices. Would definitely visit again.”

“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.”
