Friends in Chislehurst

“Such a lovely experience felt very relaxed and had complete confidence in Natasha with my hair. Made to feel very welcome as a new client and hair looked great!”

“I had a fantastic experience today. My nails were transformed beautifully. I ve never had my cuticles trimmed perfectly and my hands pampered with so much care. Thanks for the tips on hand and nail care. You really know your onions because the outcome is an evidence. Thanks a lot”

“Great local wine shop with a good selection of wines. Very welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Enjoyable to stop by for a drink as well.”

“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.”

“I've been coming to this fish and chip shop for over 10 years, and it's about time I left a review! The quality has been consistently excellent over the years – perfectly crispy batter, fresh fish, and generous portions. The chips are always hot and golden, just the way they should be. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick, even during busy times. It's hands down the best chippy around, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommended!”

“As a now regular to this restaurant, i would defoliate consider this the best Indian food in chislehurst. The papadams are delicate and crispy; served with a sweet yoghurt mint sauce, a jammy mango chutney and a small diced salad. The samosas are always steaming hot and have a thick layer of crisp pasty met with a explosion of spices and fluffy vegetables. They are always served with a pomegranate reduction sauce.The mixed grill is one is sensational. Perfectly cooked tandoori meats all enveloped with deep marinade and so tender. The soft shell crab was crispy, flavourful and buttery. It’s only downside was it tasted a tiny bit fishy. The lamb jalfrezi is large chunks of juicy lamb with a curry sauce that has immaculate flavour. Garlic chilli prawns are a staple at ginger and spices and in my opinion the beat item on the menu and the best prawns i have ever had. But be were; the are not mild”

“Saw my cat as an emergency (when I phoned 3 other places including my own vets my family and I have used for 20 years) The vet went above and beyond, knew exactly what my cat needed and got the job done!! Very fairly priced! Even though it’s not an ideal location RE parking I will now be returning for all routine appointments and have recommended this practice to friends and family. I also thought the receptionist was very warm, friendly and ensured my cat was seen to! One very happy cat and owner!”

“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.”

“I didn’t have food but everyone food looked great. I enjoyed two espresso martinis at the bar and they were amazing, I asked for extra sweet and they did not disappoint. I’ve worked in hospitality all my life and struggle to find places that hits all the spots that I look for. This place definitely delivers on atmosphere and service.”

“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.”

“Booked for a large group and had a set menu that was excellent value. The food was fantastic and the service was great. Will definitely be returning:)”

“Tasty coffee and great service! The latte art in my flat white is 10/10”

“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 !”

“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.”

“Came in this morning and it was busy! I was served quickly. I informed the lovely Julie of my peanut allergy, she provided me with her undivided attention. Julie made me feel at ease placing my order. She let me know she would be washing the jug and gave me a full disclaimer. Julie double checked my order before preparing it and did so again before handing it over. 10/10 Customer Service”

“I visited Costa Coffee in Chislehurst last Wednesday—had a great coffee and got some work done on my laptop. I've been here several times, and it’s always a calm, friendly place. One of my favorite spots in one of the nicest areas of London!”

“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!”

“The Bulls head go above and beyond to make your every run as smooth as possible Amy and Jane are incredible. Food is amazing stuff are so helpful and polite would thoughly recommend for any event. We had our engagement party there, my 50th I have been to christening parties and now my friend just had her hen party there. The hotel is absolutely stunning. The rooms are amazing.”

“Very Friendly service and nice relaxing atmosphere with delicious food, dessert and drinks. Our table was regularly checked to see if everything was okay and everyone was very attentive even though the place got busy very quickly with many regular guests. We also met the owner and his wonderful wife who made sure they visited every table and greeted the guest to see if everything was ok… it’s wonderful to see how much they care and appreciate their guests. Definitely worth a Revisit and try the Gurkha 660ml Beer.”

“Traditional pub, varied but quite short (in a good way) menu. We are not talking about nouvelle cuisine, but standard pub food with a couple of quality fish options.”

“We have visited here many times, simply because of the location, the food, the pub itself and the great service. Almost every time we visit, we are served by the lovely Angela. She always remembers us and greets us with a friendly smile. She has a wonderful sense of humour and always makes our visit a pleasure along with her lovely customer service. Will be visiting many more times in the future”

“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.”

“Had a lovely meal with friends, as we couldn't decide what to order there were many meals for the table. Everything was delicious and I look forward to returning.”

“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.”

“Only quality stuff. Professional job. Amazing people. Highly recommended.”

“My son absolutely loves Pals - he has made lots of friends and enjoys his days there - playing, exploring and learning. The environment is very nuturing and the staff really lovely and supportive. Thank you”
