The Greek Way

Mobile caterer

👍👍 Hands down the best most tasty Greek Street food you will find in London actually maybe whole of the UK. When I take a bite of their food I'm instantly taken to Greece. Perfection! I really can't put into words how amazing it is. Just go right now and try it for yourself, it will be the best decisio...

The Bolthole Micropub

👍 Lovely pint of Goffs beer. Very welcoming bar staff and it is a pity it is not closer to my home.

The Halfway House Craft Pub

Pub

👍👍 Charming micro pub. Staff friendly and pleasant. Nice group of regulars. Good selection of craft beers and ciders. Good choice of gins and always a good lager, try the Peckham Pills back on tap after a long absence. Nice little sun trap out the front. Normal pricing for a local micro pub. Definitel...

The Broken Drum

Pub

👍👍 Yes, the name is a Pratchett reference. Lovely friendly microbrewery. They have a few beers and a cider on. Friendly barman and pleasant atmosphere. It feels oddly like a cafe rather than a pub (though they don't do food). As a Pratchett fan I appreciate a lot of the decor. They also have a small b...

The Five Bells

Pub

😐 Such a shame that what could have been a lovely traditional village pub, has been absolutely ruined by the cheap industrial flooring used in the main room. It’s the type of lino that is found in sport changing rooms or the men’s toilets, normally in either maroon or that soulless blue-grey intersper...

The Rising Sun

Sushi restaurant

😠 1 star for the overall experience. The food is amazing, best sushi in southeastern London, but service needs to improve. It is impossible to order over the phone, the line is either busy or rings with no answer. I will change my review/ratings once a more effective way to order the sushi is availabl...

D'Angelo Bar & Restaurant

Italian restaurant

😠 Hugely disappointing. The starters and main course were fine but the time taken to serve each course was pathetic. I’m a patient man but waiting 55 mins between courses, with not a sniff of attention from the waiters, in restaurant that is barely half full, simply isn’t good enough. We skipped the s...

Orpington Liberal Club

Club

👍👍 This is a club of old fashioned style, where likeminded people spend time in community projects, drink beer and have small events. They were kind to host the premier of a lockdown movie I was a part of. Very friendly

The Black Horse

Pub

👍👍 I've not had such an enjoyable experience at a pub in a very long time! First time here at our new local as a recent transplant from north of the river. What a beautiful beer garden and such lovely staff. Hope to return soon.

Semosh

Turkish restaurant

👍👍 I recently visited this Mediterranean restaurant with a friend on a Friday afternoon. The place was nearly empty due to covid19. As per the restaurant manager there's more footfall during Mondays to Wednesdays because of 50% off from the benefits of eat out government policy . The food served was...
