The 30 Best Household essentials store in Orpington

“Always a joy to shop at Dyas in Orpington. A wide range of competitively priced products and friendly staff.”

“I came in looking for (a lot of) help replacing a toilet seat and was helped by both Lauren and Julie who were wonderful. Extremely helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and patient. They could not have made it a more positive experience, especially as a woman in a typically male dominated space. 10/10”

“I love this shop with the cost of living going up everyday this shop Is a godsend ❤️”

“The staff always greet me with a smile. Great customer service and friendly environment. A great little shop.”

“I use Aambal, obviously as a small store they can't compete with Supermarket prices but they're are still reasonably priced. They get bad press about selling booze but my living room is no more that 4ft from the paving and I watch young males drinking beer out of a can and these males are entering the village from Locks Bottom direction so don't put all of this alcohol disturbance down to Aambal.”

“Best place to buy frosty jacks the lads there are chill too the bad reviews are from individuals who simply had a bad day at work and took it out on the kind souls that work there overall 9/10 good service good prices but they missed a 10/10 narrowly by no longer stocking the Haribo smurfs.”

“I recently had a great experience with DIY store. The Frenchic paint collection was impressive, offering a wide range of high-quality, affordable options. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making my visit even better. Highly recommend this store for anyone looking for quality DIY supplies!”

“Today i discovered this hidden deli gem. It is full of the most delicious delicacies including fantastic olives. Worth a visit”

“I shopped twice. Noted a couple of produces were very cheap, I alerted the shop keeper. She efficiently checked her system and confirmed the price being corrected. Those were good bargain. The shop was very spacious and so pleasant to shop. Very welcoming staff and willing to go extra miles to source what I wanted. Highly recommended!!!”

“By chance I went into this store to look around while waiting for the bus to work. I discovered a most delicious plum jam filled doughnut which didn't make it to the bus. I also got a nice bit of cheesecake which I shared with colleagues. The lady opening was so warm and friendly, I wish I could've spent more time chatting with her.”

“Great stocked shop. Lots of tills open to ease the ques.”

“Always well stocked and presented, staff are quite active and attentive, easy layout means everything is easy to find. Don't see the manager on the floor much, seen him once in the year or so I've been coming here, that was to open a till when they were busy, although the lady did have to ring 4 or 5 times lol very happy with the shop, enjoy coming here to shop. Also has air con!”

“I’m one of those shoppers who scrutinise the labels to check what ingredients everything has as well as trying to eat as ‘clean’ as possible. I will shop in 3-4 supermarkets to cut down my weekly expenditure but recently, Aldi is my ‘Go To’ store. I have to say that I am seriously impressed with the quality ( and the price ) of all fresh meats, hams, chicken and fish. I also love that their fresh produce mostly comes from British farms. I am not vegetarian but there is a good selection to choose from if you are. Gluten free produce is also available. I can recommend their Sirloin steaks, Fresh Salmon, Cooked and uncooked Chicken Breasts, Beef ( joint and minced) Wiltshire Ham and their eggs are extra good value. On those items alone, I save between £10-15 per shop. I can also recommend Aldi ice creams/lollies ( special treat days) as they taste just as good as the branded ones but considerably cheaper. It’s a pleasant ‘quick’ shop but I have to admit that I spend a ridiculous amount of time down the ‘Isle of Shame’ Everyone loves a bargain right?!!”

“Love Wilko's in Orpington, always a great range of good, sensibly priced products. The staff are always helpful and ready to assist. Will be an absolute shame if Wilko's went the same way as Woolworths and were consigned to history. People, get away from your screens, off line, and save your high street, you'll miss it when it's gone.”

“In Sainsbury's Beckenham the staff's are really good. They are always ready to help when you need to look for something that you want to buy but couldn't find where it was located. They are very friendly especially Debbie.”

“5 stars for the bloke behind the counter. Lovely guy.”

“Convenient supermarket opens 24 hours. The staff are always friendly.”

“This store is great they have little section of clothes also Argos is in here staff are friendly there is a carpark above store nearest bus to get hear is 358 R9 if your coming from Orpington war memorial or Orpington train station”

“Great selection I'd wanted something cheap and easy for lunch as was hungry and at the end of the month £ was limited... id popped into Iceland as more convenient but except for the reductions which were fab and I had to resist as was for fruit which I already had; i had to go the long way round to Morrisons but was worth it as I got exactly what I wanted.. aisles seemed a bit of a maze and despite there not being loads of us in there I was asked to 'excuse me' twice possibly by the same person; maybe because the reduced section is very close to a pillar. Easy to get to checkouts; glad I didn't need to navigate the rest of the store and all seemed to be working which made a nice change... I hadn't noticed the kiosk just inside which seemed well stocked for an eve quicker visit .. glad I made the effort.. staff seemed nice too, very clean and uncluttered for a weekday lunchtime during the holidays.. thanks”

“Vik and his team always provide a very good service. Very welcoming when going to this little local shop as well. Highly recommended”

“To be hounest when i first used the shop they didnt seem to welcome me and there paypoint never worked i was kinda put off by this, i know paypoints are a zero mark up profit so i guess they didnt like you just using the store for just the zero profit benefits as these are used in shops to attract customers to buy items then top up there elcetric or gas , but as i became a regular due to prices in another nearby shop , after a while all of a sudden there paypoint always worked lol and they became more friendly now i wont vist many other small convenience stores because they are atualy nice people when you get to know them and become a regualar customer - husband and wife run store”

“Being a Superstore rather than a Tesco Extra, this store is lacking the extensive homewares and electronics sections of larger outlets, and the small area allocated to clothes is a little underwhelming, but otherwise this is a good sized supermarket offering pretty much everything you need for a regular grocery shop. Staff are helpful, there are plenty of Scan As You Shop devices, a cafe and loads of parking.”

“It's really convenient for me. Lovely staff always friendly. And they always have Fanta Lemon in stock so 5 stars for that.”

“- Good Local Branch - I'm a big fan of the high street rather than online shopping. Unlike many companies, Poundland deserve credit as they still seem committed to being in the community, with a good network of local branchs. With a good offering of simple and affordable products at reasonable prices ( although often slightly more than £1 these days). I find their food offering to be particularly very good. They offer a good selection of frozen meals and bottles of drink. These are often significantly cheaper than the main supermarkets for 'like for like' products. The store is normally very clean and well laid out. The staff here are always friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the self checkouts were efficient.”

“My new local convenience store! Friendly staff and just about everything & anything you might need.”

“Great branch. Good staff. Very friendly and welcoming. Smooth speedy transactions. Overall excellent customer service.”

“This is now a much improved shop. It's has a large range of groceries to meet your needs. Only downside is the queue can be a little long to pay at the till. However I am sure that is just bad luck on my part.”
