Local business support in Orpington

“I’ve used Chris a few times over the last couple of years and each time he’s been great! He’s fixed a laptop screen for me, helped me figure out whether to fix other things or been honest and told me when it’s not worth it and recently helped me fix a broken charging port. Really lovely guy, affordable prices and gets the work done super quick! Got my laptop back within 30 minutes today. Highly recommend!”

“Like a few others I am surprised when reading the negative reviews. I can only speak of my own personal experiences and respect those who may disagree. I used to use Lloyds Pharmacy in Windsor Drive as I am a lot closer to that than Rowlands. However it got to the stage where I could not bring myself to go into Lloyds as I would have been rude to the staff, so I decided to change to another provider. Lloyds always blamed my Doctors for NOT sending my prescription which meant I always had to battle to get my medicines. Rowlands on the other hand have NEVER blamed my GP for NOT sending my prescription and have always been able to provide each and every tablet/cream/injections, you name it, they get it in. Sometimes I have had to wait a few extra days but this is NOT Rowlands fault as they can only dispense what they have in stock. Most people are unaware there are currently issues getting supplies in and this is not going to end anytime soon. Can you imagine having to stock every kind of medication, the shop would have to be the size of a football pitch, so don't get upset if they don't have what you want. To end this little rant, I can honestly say that I have always found the staff at Rowlands helpful and friendly. I am a person who gives as good as I get and a lot more, but honestly, I've never had a bad experience with them. The staff are there to provide us with a service. If we find they have not got what you want, give them time to explain why and politely ask the questions you have, without losing your temper or being rude. We need to give each other a chance. Just think of those who do not have the services we often take for granted. I feel fortunate to have what we have and thank all those who provide us with these services.”

Tomatoes and few other vegetables are generally cheaper and better in Krishna store.. Service and staff is great! Recommended place for sure..”

“We are over the moon our new updated 1960's chairs that Dave recovered for us and many people have remarked how fabulous they look. He has also recently rewebbed and padded our dining room chairs and they feel 'better than new'. 5* service that I would highly recommend - thank you”

“Boiler in the house was working fine and had not realized that it wasn't serviced for a while. It stopped working and was stuck in winter. Came across Delkan Plumbing and got the engineer to check the situation. Engineer not only serviced the boiler to fix the heating but also fixed the plumbing issue. Thank you for the quick and reliable service. Much appreciated and will recommend them again.”

“Great nusery never had a problem and great with communicating with parents”

“"AB FAB!!! Applies to EVERY member of staff; almost EVERY own brand product in ANY Coop range; and EVERY service provided. ALL the staff go above & beyond the call of duty - they're all genuinely good, caring people working IN their local community FOR the benefit & wellbeing of ALL - just as it should be, and is (in my personal experience) with every national service of The Cooperative Society that I have experienced AS A CUSTOMER of approx 40 years, and as a member since approx 1997 in various locations across England). Completely non-discriminatory in every respect - their WHOLE ethos is why I LOVE & SUPPORT the Co-op in any way I can.”

“Second time we ordered from them. Reviews.on just eat very positive. Food was fresh, prawns starter very nice as were chicken skewers. Beef and black bean spot on, prawn with cashews very good. Order came bang on time, food tasted like it just came off the fire. Recommend”

“Picked up a hugh tray of jollof rice, oh my. Did it have heat... But was so more'ish... Didn't last more then a couple of days as we devoured along with the barbecue in the weekend.”

“Alf's fruit and veg stall is a little gem. We generally do our weekly fruit and veg purchases from here as they are normally ripe and lasts a number of days. No plastic wrappings that you would find in supermarkets just paper bags. Staff are friendly and helpful which is great. We have been coming here for years. There is a vast array of produce on offer from mangos to mushrooms, dates to bananas. Excellent prices for the amount you get. Highly recommended to keep the independent man or woman in business.”

“Great little clothes shop. Staff are so friendly. Grab a bargin and a nice touch to your wardrobe.”
