Cultural experiences in Orpington

“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.”

“I booked my airport transfers to and from my hotel in Prague through Prague Experience. I was very happy with the service. Both drivers we had, Martin and Emil, were friendly, courteous and on-time. It was our first time in Prague and we didn't want the hassle of carrying our luggage on a bus or train from the airport. In spite of a delay at customs/immigration, Martin was waiting for us as expected. In fact, Prague Experience had contacted us via cell phone when we failed to show up on time to verify our arrival and provide directions on where to meet our driver. Unfortunately, my phone's battery was dead and I didn't get the call or message. No worries--Martin was still waiting for us in the arrivals hall as promised. On our return transfer, there was no need to call and verify our reservation. We exited our hotel and Emil was waiting at the curb to take our bags right on time. They both spoke English and answered any questions we had about the area. Highly recommended!”

“My daughter has been at Orpington montessori for over a year now and loves it there. She has never once been reluctant to go in, the opposite infact and has a great relationship with all the staff there, regardless of whether or not they are her key worker. The staff are attentive and helpful, children have so many different opportunities given to them and my daughter has made loads of progress in her phonics and writing which is entirely down to the work they do with her. Even when they changed the school day to a 3.30 finish which we couldn't manage, they were flexible and allowed us to continue with an earlier pick up as those were the hours we had already signed up for, with no charge. We haven't got a bad word to say about Orpington Montessori and had a great feel for it from the first time we visited. I recommend this preschool to everyone we know who lives locally and choose to drive to take my daughter there over more local options.”

“Tried this place by accident as the place around the corner was not open as advertised. Delighted I did. It's a food van in the shopping centre car park. The queue for lunch was reassuringly long, and with good reason; the food was tasty and generously portioned. Curry goat was lovely, as well as the jerk chicken. It was served with jollof rice rather than rice and peas but that made a nice change. Really nice Owner too. If I'm in the area will be sure to pay him a visit again”

“Fantastic little find. Descended on this gem with a double buggy and 4 hot and hangry children ranging from 1 to 14 years old. Staff were friendly, food was really yummy, and great prices. All 5 of us were fed and had sufficient drinks on £37! Service is not included on the bill so make sure to bring some change. Staff definitely deserve it!”

“Excellent food. Have eaten here for the first time and it was a good experience. Staff was friendly. Great flavours. Really enjoyed the food. One suggestions: Toilets need more cleaning. Apart from this everything else was fabulous.”

“Delicious Food. Easy to use website. Ordered on Saturday & the bell wasn’t working the restaurant called me 4 times to make sure we still wanted our delivery and even remade our food so it was hot. Going above & beyond customer service. It was on a busy Saturday. Highly recommended”

“Have wanted to try ST since it opened - love the fact the menu changes regularly . Visited with two friends last Friday night , we had a great time. The food is very fresh and tasty , the service was excellent - especially considering how busy it was. Will definitely be coming back - we’re lucky to have such a lovely spot in petts wood.”

“I got a Tattoo done by Andrew, It was a a great experience to meet Andrew and discuss about design which I wanted and he did the job with true professionalism and with most care. He ensured I had everything with the best care and attitude towards his lovely art. I sincerely had a great experience . Thank you so much Andrew for your wonderful job. Nisha”

“My partner and 1 went here for the 1st time today. We had chicken shish, salad, rice , lamb kebab, plus calamari . Really nice, well cooked and a very good price too. We were served by a very polite young lady ( cant recall her name , but had a piercing) . Definitely going back there. Might even have a cocktail this time”

“We have ordered many deliveries from here and dined in as well. Really good Banquet offer on Wednesday and Sundays - now has a drinks license. Can heartily recommend to anyone for a great Indian and really high quality food.”

“Great place, lovely staff. They have very clear separate vegan and gluten free menus which is super helpful. Good selection of cocktails. We will definitely be back :)”

“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.”

“Amazing food, great service, friendly staff. We ordered lamb meal and biryani it was good taste and quantity as well. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try indian food around the area.”

“On dog friendly breakfast place I am aware of for miles, which is convenient when I pick my dog food. Staff are always friendly, the cafe is clean and the food is great.”

“Very friendly pub with Harvey's on tap and good value tasty food. Worth going out of your way from Orpington High Street to find on Broomhill Common.”

“Very good indian food. Great value. Excellent service. Our go to place when visiting friends who live in the area. Highly recommended.”

“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. Efes draft beer is the bees knees. Now need to blob on sofa. Would totally recommend this restaurant for all occasions. Enjoy. Thank you Eksular xx”

“Still the best hot and sour soup in Orpington, and probably Kent!”

“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!”

“I recently hired Xenia for a private party and I can’t recommend it enough! The place is so beautiful and the staff are amazing. They helped with all aspects of my party planning and all my guests had a fantastic night!”

“Traditional village pub offering a fabulous service & atmosphere. Highly recommend! Totally welcoming and looked after my mum when she was having car troubles near by. Thanks again for all your help.”

“The food arrived hot, fresh and well presented! You get so much for your money and it tasted BEAUTIFUL! This has always been my favourite Indian take out, I did not know they could get better then they was but last night proved they can- was like a home cooked meal Straight from the kitchen-Devine!”

“Super awesome Nigerian food & even better service! Ubereats was unable to completely fulfil the order so the actual owner of the restaurant came to deliver the food I ordered himself. I have never experienced such amazing service before, jollof rice was tasty and spicy and stew chicken was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. 11/10 recommend!”

“Wonderful staff at this Costa. The coffee always tastes amazing. There’s two girls that work here who are absolutely lovely. Bubbly personalities. Always have time for a conversation with me. Even when the shop is busy, the tables are always cleared. They always have a full range of snacks available. They have air conditioning inside and additional seating outside. The toilet, although clean could do with a refurbishment. It’s very old with visible damages.”

“Delightful, relaxed stay on this unique, kosher farm. All the people involved there were incredibly helpful and friendly. Food was wholesome, tasty and plentiful. Sleeping accommodation a bit basic, with the smallest en suite ever. Rest of the house very good with lounges for children and adults. Dining area bright and accommodating. Lovely outside grounds with farming interests and an attractive, interesting field.”
