Chef in Orpington

“Someone recommended this pub to me so I thought I’d give it a try. I wasn’t disappointed. Excellent pub with a good selection of beers. Well worth a visit.”

“Fantastic dining experience, authentic Indian flavours with a twist. Service was second to none. Great wine list.”

“The staff are always pleasant with excellent customer service, the food is always tasty and yet also affordable. I did try a crafty cafe up the road last year who raised their prices somewhere between me ordering from the menu and having eaten a meal, since then I decided to stick to Star Cafe as they are honest. I use this cafe regularly and won't be going anywhere else!”

“Great selection of hot and cold food, very busy, excellent service and reasonable price”

“Love this place. Food is always fresh & tasty, staff are friendly. I find it very pram / baby friendly both because of the staff and the space available. The outside area out the back is a hidden gem. Cakes & pastries are also great. Probably my favourite lunch spot in Petts Wood!”

“A nice Sunday Lunch after a stroll around the scenic surroundings that Downe has to offer, cosy feel pub, with a big open fire to warm up beside, lovely food, good value for money, and pleasant staff, all washed down with a glass or two of wine!”

“A lovely clean bright family run restaurant,no paper napkins or table cloths here. Nice clean linen cover the tables with a bottle of spring water. The temptation to cut back over 30 years has been resisted. There's a comprehensive reasonable priced menu with unusual dishes I've never seen before. This make a refreshing change as other restaurants have cut back,simplified and restricted choice. The service was good with a complimentary drink offered. The food was good, meat portions on the small side but sufficient enough to fill me up Go your be splendidly surprised.”

“Friendly, helpful staff and delicious food, equals a good experience. Took a trip here with the family and quite impressed with some of the food on offer. The interior is cozy, and rustic and combined with the staff makes for an inviting and chilled environment. Starting with the bad, the drinks are a little on the small side and don't really match the price well and that's all. As for the food no complaints. My family tried the following starters calamari rings which where really good, fresh by the tastes of it and the batter was nice fluffy and crispy. Homous (my brother described as satisfying which paired well with the bread, which itself was delicious and made the humous even better), falafel (light and moist in the middle) and the lamb with almonds (also pretty nice). As for mains these where all really good, personally for someone like myself the portions could have been just a tad bigger, but as we came during the lunchtime and got these on offer they where worth the price tag. I myself tried the sea bass which was crispy on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside. My brother had the chicken minced kebab which was nice and you could tell it was flame grilled which gave that extra something. As for the parents I think they picked the real winner which was the lamb ribs, despite the slightly small portion was easily the tastiest thing on the table. Good seasoning and cooked just right on the grills these are what I recommend to a first time visitor. Overall a solid experience and worth dropping by.”

“Amazing food, great service, filling portions. 100% reccomend”

“Food is exceptional. The staff are very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and so are the toilets. We have been here twice now and still couldn't manage to eat all our food.

“It had been a long time since we had seen some of the family, so we decided to spend Easter Sunday having a family meal at The Bulls Head. It was our first time visiting this place, but what a warm welcome. The staff are all so nice and welcoming, the food which is home made was delicious. I would 100% recommend this pub restaurant. We will definitely be coming back, even though it is a 2.5 hour drive to get there. Thanks to all the staff and chefs who made our visit so enjoyable!!!”

“Been here a few times now and absolutely love it. All the food tastes great, the prawns in particular are amazing and a must try. The staff are all super friendly.”

“We just moved to the area and this was our first indian order! We expected to try at least a few places as it is difficult to find a proper tasty Indian, but this was just perfect! The food was hot and delicious, it was made extra spicy as we requested. You definitely got yourself a new regular customer because we are not going anywhere else!”

“Friday evening very busy i ask naz to recommend me a good dish he said try dry chicken tikka naga with garlic nan i took his advice the food was delicious he knows how to make his customers happy i love this food i will have it again”

“Great Pub, Great Friendly Staff and Excellent Food,highly recommended. Will be going in there again.”

“Delicious lunch, well presented and good value. We chose the two course menu followed by a coffee and both the sirloin steak and haddock main choices were excellent. Service was good and our waitress was lovely. Maybe a choice of salad leaves would be helpful for those who don't like rocket!”

“I ate here with my Mum, good and fast service. Warm, clean space and on top of that the food was good. The staff are lovely too”
