Socializing in Orpington

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely love this Nando’s! The food is always hot, fresh, and full of flavour — exactly what you want from a proper peri-peri fix. The staff here are friendly, welcoming, and super efficient, even during busy times. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere whether you're popping in for a quick bite or having a relaxed meal with friends. Shoutout to the team for always delivering great service and making each visit a good one. Can’t fault it — one of the best Nando’s around!”

“Excellent pub that serves a great pint of Guinness. Very nice decor inside and spotlessly clean. The manager Maurice is a real gentleman. I can't wait to go back.”

“Local friendly and highly experienced”

“Great night with friendly dancers and a good DJ.”

“Great venu for dancing! Ceroc is a partner dance with its roots in 1940s jive. It's fun, energetic and you don't need to come with a partner. This is a great place to learn a new skill, develop an existing skill or just have fun if you are an experienced dancer! All levels are made to feel welcome! Great music, great people and a great atmosphere.”

“Our son has been attending Monkey Puzzle since he was 4.5 months old, he is now 2 years old. We are extremely happy with his level of care that he receives. He loves coming to nursery, and the enjoys the variety of activities that the excellent team provide. The care we’ve received from every member of staff, at all levels, has always been fantastic. Our son loves his time at nursery and we are very pleased in all the progress he’s making. We can see at home the different things he’s being taught at nursery, from sign language, his motor skills and the many varieties of messy play he brings home in his hair! Personally as parents we’ve enjoyed the community feel of the nursery, having attending a few events like the summer fete and the parents first aid training. We can’t recommend Monkey Puzzle enough!”

“I’ve been to Victoria a couple of times now for highlights and a cut and she’s brilliant. The colour is exactly how I wanted it and the cut is perfect too. Always such a lovely experience and I leave feeling really happy with my hair.”

“Both our daughters have attended Shimmi Shakes for over six months now. The provision for ballet and tap dance is so impressive, and the girls look forward to the Saturday morning sessions every week. The team are wonderful and there is an amazing sense of community, with exams organised, and trips to the West End to see professional theatre as well. We couldn't be happier.”

“I called The Mobile Coffee Bean at 5:30pm one evening, hoping that they could perform a miracle, and provide a coffee bar for the next day. Somehow they pulled it off! Chris was really friendly and helpful and got everything in place that night. Kieran and Alex arrived on time the next day. They were super nice and got everything set up quickly. I know that none of this matters much if the coffee is terrible but of course it wasn’t. I picked a flat white, which I find a bit hit and miss, but it was lovely. It is very rare for me to write a review but this is thoroughly deserved.”

“Dropped by with my kids for lunch and it was a great experience. The service was brilliant and the owner is friendly and welcoming. The food was good. I had the lamb chops and got the chicken nuggets for the kids. Their prices are well suited and the atmosphere is relaxed. Will definitely be back.”

“Great tasting freshly cooked chicken the peri peri is better than Nando’s! always hot and tasty and friendly service. Best chicken shop in the areas”

“Tasty food, quality service, would absolutely visit again”

“Great service. Kind, patient and friendly Shri Lankan attendant. Amazing experience.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“First time here today. Very clean and nice atmosphere. Food was good and a good price, and staff were friendly. A classic caf, would recommend.”

“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 !”

“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…”

“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”

“Good selection of food products. Very food on price so if struggling cos of cost of living go here and this shop will help u stay above water so u n family won't go hungry cos of soaring prices well yogurt at asda/tesco/Iceland etc £2 lidi price £0.89 see the difference so I don't understand why those shops are more expensive when lidi is good on price I feel lidi put people first where the other shops put profit first hope u all agree Have a nice day”

“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”

“I’m the kebab dude in the Burberry shorts :) I told them I’d leave a review as my meal was phenomenal, the chicken kebab is to die for, you guys should put a big sign outside advertising it! You could go viral over a meal like that!”

“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.”

“Great choice of lovely feminine clothes for women. Classic styles that don't 'age' and always look good. I buy from them regularly as I don't see their clothes anywhere else and other stores don't offer the style of clothes I like. Can be pricey but comparable to M&S. Would recommend for ladies who want well made clothes, unusual materials and styles.”
