Local source ingredients in Orpington

“Discovered this restaurant on a friend’s recommendation and it was totally fantastic. Amazing Indian and Indo-Chinese dishes in and around Bromley/ Orpington area. They even gave a complimentary dish for being a first time visitor to the restaurant doing a take-away. The place looks empty but the kitchen was so busy with takeaway orders in these Corona times. Great tasting food as well. Really pleased with the food and have no hesitation recommending this place.”

“Nice little gem. Had brunch on a Saturday. Food was good and prices not too bad. Staff was lovely. Will have to come back for drinks at some point.”

“Amazing service from start to finish! We worked with The Mobile Coffee Bean a few weeks back at our largest company annual event. Everything from the original inquiry to the service and coffee on the day was 5 star. The Coffee Cart itself we had branded as part of a sponsorship package for one of our clients and they were delighted with the finish and professionalism from the Barista - Who even impressed our Google Client! The feedback from delegates was incredible, the best coffee they had ever tasted! 100% will use this company again in the future!”

“Amazing restaurant & a very high standard of food quality. I went with a friend and was met with lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and very attentive where needed. My family are from Corfu, Greece and I spent a lot of time there. The authentic flavours reminded me of being back! Beautiful decor and spotlessly clean (covid friendly). Plenty of Mediterranean food choices along with lovely wine & cocktails. We had complimentary pitta bread & tzatziki, grilled prawns with garlic, whole sea-bass and fillet of sea-bass! All absolutely delicious, highly recommend. One of the best restaurants in Orpington x”

“I treated my son to breakfast before an appointment today. The staff member was so friendly and polite, especially at that time in the morning! Food was cooked really well. Will definitely be back, thank you!”

“Family run Sushi restaurant which is the best, freshest sushi you will ever try. It is very popular so you have to get your orders early. I've been coming here for many years and the food is always 5 Star. Great quality and lovely people.”

“Absolutely amazing little cafe. Beautifully decorated, super lovely staff and the best cake I've eaten in a very long time. Nothing was too much trouble, and there happened to be live music on, which was great. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about the place.”

“Good and delicious food. The salad which came alone was fresh.. definitely a good place for kababs”

“I have been coming here since 1981 when I was 10 years old. My father took us and his clients here when Valecci opened and me, the same, 25 years later. It was my eldest son’s 21st last night and this is where he wanted to come. 3 generations later and still the same classy experience; The food is exceptional, Enzo and his staff are the best in the business and nothing is too much trouble. If cost is your priority, this is not your kind of restaurant. If first class food served by exceptionally attentive yet subtle waiters in intimate and personal surroundings is what’s required, come here as you’ll never be disappointed.”

“Lovely cafe that is also a restaurant and bar at other times! Friendly staff, good tea and cakes and a nice vibe.”

“Very neat and stocks nicely arranged. The staff were very helpful and pleasant”

“Love this cafe. Plenty of room to sit and very comfortable chairs. Menus clear and very reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and very efficient. Now to the main part. The lovely food. Every meal I've had here has been of the highest quality. Yet to find a cafe that offers such reasonably priced heavenly meals. One of the first restaurants I'm heading to after the lock down is reduced further. Keep safe people”

“A group of us had a wonderful Sunday lunch today at The Woodman. Alice was very welcoming and attentive. Food was delicious. I recommend this lovely warm friendly pub.”

“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 :)”

“Best fish and chips in the area. Always popular, so good turnover of food, hence always fresh. Friendly staff. If ordering scampi or similar give heads up as cooked to order so can take longer”

“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.”

“Lovely cafe serving decent hot food, nice variety on the menu and specials. Dog friendly, customer service is quick and easy polite staff. Cafe is in good location after a long walk for refreshments and food”

“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!”

“Lovely quaint little cafe, with very well cooked breakfast. Recommend!”

“Lovely old style boozer, my new local, friendly staff and fellow drinkers a little hidden jem in the back streets...”

“Brilliant local convenience store, more like a mini supermarket really. Wide range of Caribbean, Asian, Turkish etc products and seasonings. Great fresh herbs and decent fresh produce. Their meat is excellent quality too and the shop is very, very clean. Customer service is wonderful and they have great sweets, chocolate, ice cream and booze too . Pia accept card and cash you can't really go wrong. If you pop in you won't be disappointed.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great place for brunches. Lots of space, good quality food. Ability to order from table makes topping up easy. Staff are really helpful, already made a second trip!”

“So good wow! I ordered the honey and mustard wings which were amazing must try and chicken burger with crossed fries. Burger was perfect, warm and juicy and the fries with the smacks sauce delicious! Def recommend and definitely ordering again”

“I booked a table here for my friend's 30th birthday dinner and we all had the best time. The food was great, service was amazing and we got some birthday shots on the house too! Really appreciate being allowed to come in before our reserved time to set up and decorate before the birthday girl got in.”

“Had dinner here on New Years Eve, was a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. Love this restaurant!”

“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!”

“Very friendly and attentive staff. The food was very nice and reasonable priced. Would definitely recommend”

“Always polite and good quality, just on the expensive side but can get some bargains if you turn up late.”
