The 30 Best Traditional food in Orpington

“My first time at this fish and chip shop It was a great experience. The food was lovely and freshly made, their staff were really welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended to pop in!”

“I highly recommend this place! The pizza is absolutely fantastic—delicious and full of flavor. I’ve also ordered from them several times for parties, and they never disappointed. The quality of the pizza and the service are consistently top-notch. Keep up the amazing work!”

“Great food at the end of a long day, Wonderfully tasty meat and a good fresh salad, and chips. Well done”

“Gowri was and always is the best assistance in any m&s store I’ve ever experienced, and m&s is my only go to. Any staff of there’s are always eager to help and such a pleasure to talk too but Gowri is so helpful, quick and dedicated to her roll. Thank you for all your help darling x”

“Food is delicious and portion size is good. Ordered Mushroom chow mein, mixed veg fried rice, schezwan chicken and salt and pepper chicken. Much better( price wise as well as taste wise) than the competitors in high street…wish they had dine-in options as well!”

“My 1st visit was November 24 and somehow I got mixed feelings for this place. After reading good reviews and that they have been rewarded one of the best when I went there felt a little disappointing. Stuff were absolutely chaotic and shouting to one another not paying attention to clients. The menu was missing many meals who can you have a fish section and only serve prawns and no other fish. I ordered keema naan and it was crispy and had like a blob of meat in the middle. Most of the food I eat in other places is far better. The atmosphere with this blue light is blinding.”

“A true family run authentic restaurant. The owners put their hearts and souls into it and it really shows in the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere.”

“We had the most amazing experience with the Greek Way. Katerina and her team were so friendly and accommodating to our needs. They travelled roughly 60 miles to us and the food still came hot and fresh. Everyone absolutely loved it at our work event. The tzatziki was beyond mouth-watering we would have all eaten a tub each! The meats were super tender and we had great options for our vegetarian's and vegans. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Greek caterer - we wouldn't look to go anywhere else. Thank you so much again!”

“Honestly the best Indian going the man who deals with the calls he’s always so amazing and kind. The food is the delicious and the price omg so good beats any Indian around!!! Thank you guys for your on going great service and great food flavours are out of this world xxx”

“What a lovely place! The Drawing Room has such a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff are incredibly friendly and really go out of their way to make you feel at home. The food is great, and they’re very kid-friendly, which makes it perfect for a relaxed family outing. One of my favourite things is their beautiful tea cups—such a charming touch that makes the whole experience feel special. The cakes are absolutely delicious, and the scones are fresh and just perfect with cream and jam. Definitely one of those hidden gems that you’ll want to come back to. Highly recommend! Rating: 5/5”

“Really friendly and helpful staff; Wonderful delicious food; and even a small shop so you can buy jewellery and such if you fancy it. Only a small venue so obviously huge parties bigger than 20 not suitable, but for anyone with groups smaller than this, it's great! Would recommend!”

“Name checks out - great dinner option and highly recommended. Visiting from Australia where the kebabs can be quite homogenised/samey in the city. Was blown away with the mixed doner and halloumi kebabs. Serving size, flavour, freshness, and choices of salads all top tier. Even the chips were good!”

“I was already a big fan of this restaurant - the tapas is excellent - and was interested to try their Sunday roast. I went on the first day of this new menu and, quite simply, LOVED it! There were a few nibble type starters available - olives, padron peppers, almonds, bread. We had the sourdough bread - this came toasted with an alioli sauce - very tasty! The main course choices were beef, chicken, lamb cutlets or a vegan wellington. We had the chicken and lamb - both were served with roast potatoes, roasted carrots, parsnips, broccoli, yorkshire pudding and gravy. All superbly seasoned and delicious! Good portion size too. We didn’t have desserts, but saw others tucking into cheesecake and churros. Next time! The staff were fantastically welcoming as always! Laura, kept saying words to the effect of “It’s our first day doing this…” - no need to justify anything Laura, you’ve already aced this! Pricing is well pitched - £19 - £21 per person for main course, depending on your choice of meat. Well done Laura, Danny and, of course, the brilliant Spanish chef, Freddy! Already booked to go back next week!”

“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”

“Here, just in the centre of the village of Downe, we have the most lovely country pub you can imagine, with a good range of real ales, an amazing garden out back with several different areas, a delicious and affordable food menu, and just a short walk away from Charles Darwin's house. What more could you want. It's situated right next door to the village church, which is where the hourly TfL bus 146 from Bromley terminates, and the R8 also calls. Definitely worthy of a visit in itself.”

“Another excellent meal lovely food and service. Served quickly.”

“Had such an amazing night tonight. When the guys said were make it a good night they did exactly that. Great food highly recommended this place xx”

“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.”

“Super friendly and personable. They have a huge menu range, and everything is soo tasty with something for everyone, and caters to dietary requirements too. Service is amazing, and very family friendly. It's super clean, bright and spacious (to get a pram in). A treat for us all!”

“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 !”

“Best Indian Restaurant around , have used the village cuisine for years and the food has always been fantastic , staff always go out of their way to chat to you and remember your names and the food gets better and better.”

“Fabulous food and fabulous staff. Not just a meal but an experience.. Highly recommended. Thanks Mehmet and Maria ;-)”

“Visited for the first time this week for a birthday celebration. Booked a table through Google, easy and convenient. The mezes we had were really good, everyone enjoyed them. Almost all of them came with pitta bread. When it came to mains I had veggie spaghetti and was pretty blant, mostly consisting mashrooms and not very tasty ones, would not recommend. My other half had grill and he enjoyed it. My girls had plain spaghetti and soup of the day- tomato soup. Service was attentive and friendly. Didn't have dessert as cake was waiting at home. Atmosphere was very nice and welcoming.”

“My mum said she’d leave a bad review off this place cuz she’s a Karen, but- I’m leaving a good one because I love your cheesy chips so much, and the roadman on the other end of the phone was hilarious.”

“Cannot fault the fish. It tasted really lovely. I wish chips could be cooked just a bit longer as they tend to be a bit soggy. This is not just here, seems to be the way chip's are served by many of the local f&c shops.”

“Visited Saturday for a dinner without reservation. Food was great, portion side was good too. Desserts were different and I was pleasantly supriced. Well done. Friendly and polite waiter.”

“Delicious Indian food with really pleasant and friendly staff. Portions are good and the food is well presented. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be returning :)”

“Very happy with service. The food is always nice. Would highly recommend.”
