Experiences in Orpington

“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.”

“Absolutely amazing food. Seriously top notch service and the food was out of this world. They don’t have an alcohol license but you can take your own drink in without a corkage charge so it works out to be so much cheaper than an ordinary restaurant. The seafood at this place is honestly second to none. Love it love it”

“There is not a single thing that I can fault with this restaurant! Eat in or take away the food is amazing ! The staff are so friendly with a real family vibe, and having lived in the area all my life I would say this restaurant has never lost its quality and a real asset to our community ! If ever anyone was passing through Orpington I would recommend making a stop here - will not be disappointed !”

“What an absolutely incredible experience I had finding this random gem in Orpington when out with my mum on May 3rd bank holiday. This was before restrictions were lifted so we were seated outside but given blankets to wrap up in, and had the most amazing service from our waitress Karina! She was so attentive and just a star!! It was soooo windy but that didn’t dampen our experience whatsoever. We each had a managal combo plate (spicy chicken and lamb chops which were humongous) with bulgur wheat, spicy rice, and 2 types of salad. The home made bread was lush. Cooked to perfection and even given mint tea and baklava on the house after! Couldn’t recommend this place more and thank you Ozzy for stopping to chat with us after! And Karina for being such a genuine sweetheart when catering to us. Can’t wait to come back for my mums birthday, delicious food, fantastic prices, and fabulous staff!”

“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⭐️+”

“Had a Birthday dinner few days ago and can only thank for a brilliant service and food.Haven't been there for few years and surprised the restaurant kept the same good quality of food, and service, maybe even better. Didn’t make any pictures this time but everyone was very happy with they food.I don't know any other peoples names working there but they all were very good and polite . It's very good vines available in restaurant.The man name Paul was serving our table ,he he was listening very carefully what vine I like and he recommended very good vine 10 of 10,just perfect.Well done to all stuff,very nice and cosy atmosphere there,big Well done to the chefs. The only thing I want say is not a complaints I didn't ask when we start ordering the food,but it will be nice if customers can be asked about the allergies before ordering food. So is the best Italian restaurant in the area for sure. Inga”

“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.”

“Great atmosphere and friendly staff , the food is amazing , highly recommended”

“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.”

“Liva was my service care member of staff who was very friendly, courteous and helpful. There always seems to be issues with loan cars which is quite frustrating but Liva did her best to reschedule my appointment to accommodate a loan vehicle. Liva is a credit to the service centre as she goes above and beyond for her customers and despite her challenges she is always smiling which aids in de-escalating situations when things go wrong.”

“Wow, what a beautiful salon with the friendliest stylists. Helen did an amazing job on my hair, gave it a lovely refresh and a bouncy blow dry. I’ll definitely be back, thank you! Highly recommend :)”

“I have only recently started going to gents barbers but I can say that it is certainly my favourite barbers. As someone who hates haircuts they do a brilliant job of talking to you and making you feel comfortable. Along with their brilliant customer service, the actual haircuts are very good. I have been to many barbers where they offer only a few options (short, medium, long etc) however at Gents offer a great variety of styles as well as different lengths, and talk you through what they are doing as they do it. I highly recommend if you want a high quality haircut and a good chat.”

“We love coming here. The price and quality is by far better than a supermarket. The owner is polite, friendly and helpful.”

“In all they years that my Lucky the Poodle had been to any groomers no one apart from Freya managed to do as an amazing job each time. Great service and great value. Would highly recommend!”

“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.”

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

“Bacon and mushroom omelette and full English breakfast. Amazing. Delicious food and super perfect service. My boyfriend and I loved it. The coffee is delicious. I recommend it 100%. YOU CAN ONLY PAY IN CASH. Keep that in mind.”

“Best fish and chips shop around Always consistently good. The quality is great every time, and the portions are generous. If you’re in the area and want fish and chips, this is definitely the place to go. The service is friendly, and it’s always a great experience. Highly recommend it to anyone.”

“I have used pettswood kebab house for over 20 years. Always spot on with their food, fresh, hot, with generous portions, and their customer service is always first class. You can order over the phone to avoid any disappointment.”
