Delicious dining in Chislehurst

“Loved this restaurant. We visited on a Friday afternoon and had a great time. Friendly staff and great food.”

“Visited Giggling Squid - Chistlehurst for the first time today. This restaurant is beautiful and the decor is light and fresh. The food was very nice. We ordered starters of the crispy squid bits, north eastern papaya salad and money bag dumplings which were all very tasty. For mains, we ordered beef massaging curry with coconut rice and prawn pad thai all very delicious. The only criticism is the Thai Ice tea was on the smaller side and ok for taste. The service was nice and friendly. Also, slightly overpriced but food was very good. There is parking in bays right outside but it is charged within certain hours Monday to Saturday. Overall, I would definitely recommend and will be returning.”

“Wonderful service and food. We were treated really well, the restaurant was spacious and had a lovely atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed their food and all the staff were lovely.”

“First time back to the Ramblers Rest in 42 years. Did not order food, but the beer was great. Hope to return sooner than 42 years.”

“Wow.... Just 11 minutes from ordering online via their website to receiving a knock on the front door. Genuinely surprised when I heard the knock as the drive takes 2 minutes minimum. Vegan wings were decent as well.”

“Great and fast service, lovely lamb shish kebabs and my go to for a fast doner meat meal when coming back from London, well done boys!”

“Really lovely dining experience with friends, staff were welcoming and friendly, with a real Italian family vibe, food was amazing…. Would highly recommend!”

“We wanted to have oysters, and we got it at this place. When we came we decided to order different things. There were many different seafood. It was all very tasty. We would like to say special thanks for waitress Sergùl. She was a very helpful and very nice person. Recommended that place.”

“This is a family owned Italian restaurant owned by an Italian person, with a great ambience.. The food is amazing, always fresh and cooked well. The service is second to none. They always make you feel special and can't do enough for you. Great selection of hot and cold dishes, as well as fish and meat options. It is a very popular restaurant with the locals and gets really busy, so make sure to book a table.”

“This place is the Best place in and around Chislehurst, Trust Me! 100% The Breakfasts are absolutely spot on!! I have recently tried their roast dinners on various different days and Oh My God! It is out of this world, I am not joking please Try it and see for yourselves. Sev and Ali are really nice people and they know how to look after their customers. This is a good Old Fashioned Cafe! Nothing Posh here!! Thank you so much and hopefully see you again soon. X Best Hus”

“Came for a quick drink, came here a few years ago and really liked it, still a great place. Went on a Sunday lunchtime, not the best time because it was packed. Didn't stay to eat but if you do want to then I recommend booking in advance if they take reservations. We sat outside which was fine since it was a nice day. Friendly, welcoming and helpful service from the gent behind the bar (possibly the manager/owner). Very family orientated feel to the place. Very cosy inside. Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices.”

“been coming to this restuarnt since mid 80s. Nice warm hot food, great choice on Menu, fairly priced and freindly staff. To any of the bad reviewers on here you must have this place confused with somewhere else.”

“AMAZING FOOD!!! Best mother's day meal we have had.... If love a pudding you won't be disappointed with the choice. So much meat with the main. Definitely recommend. You can also bring your own alcohol which keeps your bills down as well.”

“The food was great , very tasty . Maybe to spice for me but the flavours were amazing I would go back to try something else . Great dessert”

“I was late on Saturday coming out of London around half ten and the gentleman here at Shaon we're extremely welcoming and committed to excellent customer service. The food was really great and I would highly recommend anyone from families to couples and single travellers like me to visit and enjoy the experience here. Thank you all for making my first visit in your restaurant a humbling one. Look forward to returning again soon.”

“I recently held a wake for my late mother at The Queen’s Head, and I cannot praise the team enough. From start to finish, the staff were incredibly attentive, compassionate, and professional. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly during such an emotional time. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and served in generous portions. There was a fantastic variety, and it was all so well received by our guests—it disappeared in no time! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made everyone feel comfortable and cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend The Queen’s Head to anyone looking for a venue to host a wake or any special gathering. Their dedication, kindness, and attention to detail made a difficult day so much easier. Thank you for everything!”

“One of the best Chinese restaurants in Orpington. We ordered Tofu, and it was delicious, literally melting. The Pork and Chicken was really nice, it was recommended by the staff. The staff is really friendly. A reasonably priced restaurant must visit.”

“I had an absolutely delightful dinner at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the service. The interior design is beautifully done, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were polite, attentive, and always smiling, which made the experience even more enjoyable.”

“One of the best roasts I had in my life! I picked the Bickley Arms to celebrate my bday and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was ok. The pub is huge and very pram friendly too. I’ll be back ;)”

“Father's Day lunch here today. Through no fault of their own they were understaffed but the team did a fantastic job of picking up the slack and looking after their customers. Food was excellent (highly recommend the triple roast and the smoked salmon and fennel salad) and we will be returning. Service by Dee was first class. Thank you!!”

“Went last night for family pre Christmas meal. Lovely relaxing atmosphere, very pleasant staff. Nice menu, good wine list. The meal was excellent , the portion sizes generous, my stuffed chicken masala just melted in your mouth. We went midweek at 7pm and it was lovely & quiet so we were able to have a nice leisurely catch up.This is definitely a restaurant that I want to go back to.”

“Wrattens Caffe is a true hidden gem of Chislehurst High Street. In fact, it is so well hidden at the back of a clothing shop (not a bad one either by the way!) that only a few locals are aware of its existence and visit regularly. I've been delighted being one of these few for years, but this morning, enjoying an amazing chicken and bacon melt toastie with some great coffee, I felt rather sad that your typically blunt and tired Costa next door was booming with visitors, while only a few tables were taken at homey and delicious Wrattens. So here you go, time for my best-kept secret to stop being one. Give yourself the most Chislehurst experience one can think of, visit Wrattens Caffe, have a chat with its loveliest staff, have a walk around the shop while you're waiting for your food to materialize on your table. All that knowing that every penny you leave there supports the community and its people, not Coca-Cola Corp. Why, didn't you know Costa belongs to Cokes? Well, now you do, so turn left on that doorstep, choose Wrattens next time you're around!”

“Stayed for 2-3 days on 2019. Very nice and clean rooms and friendly guests.”

“Some reviews don’t make justice to their food now, the new owner improved a lot compared to the others , love the food and the friendly service of the lady that takes the orders.”

“Every bit of my meal was delicious! Such generous portions. Very happy!”
