The best restaurants serving British food in Bromley Town Bromley London

First visit. You have to choose what you want and then go order (and pay in advance) at the counter. My husband had egg and bacon toasted sandwich (£7.60) and I had what was listed as a BLT... (£6.45) plus a pot of tea for 2 for £5, bring the total to £19.05, pre-tip, which is a bit expensive in my book, but I don't mind if it's good. See photos of my so-called BLT. The photo of it less the lettuce looks a bit unappetising - to me at least, but just look at that lettuce which I took out of the sandwich, as I wouldn't give it to a healthy rabbit, let alone a sick one. Just truly awful. Limp, blackened, yucky, decomposing. My husband was disappointed with his sandwich, too. The bread wasn't up to much and suffice to say we shan't be returning. (Tea was fine!).

We visited this place lots of times ,there food is always well presented, hot and tasty. Staff always willing to help. 😋

I needed to be in Chislehurst a few weeks ago to collect some watches from my jeweller, so decided to pay a return visit to this cafe which I remembered from years ago: yes, new owners but the quality of the food and the service was excellent and I will visit again when next in the area.

This has the potential to be the best restaurant in SE London, but there is a serious lack on ambition on the menu. I have been several times since opening and the food is always well executed, but the menu has evolved at a snails pace and is still essentially a gasto-pub menu. The dining room is well suited to a serve genuine restaurant food, or at least a more 'fine-dining' brasserie menu, which will make the place a destination. Unfortunately, the menu feels like it has been designed by an accountant, not a chef and this means the place won't attract local regulars, nor will it become a 'destination' people travel to. D&M was reviewed by a couple of national newspapers and the money spent on the building means it could become a real gem of a restaurant, but it is lacking atm. The staff all seem friendly, and a particular mention to Jamie, who tempted us to stay for dinner after enjoying a drink on the terrace.

My wife and I use Buddy's when we visit family in Bromley. It is the best place to eat for miles! We always receive a wonderful, friendly welcome from the team, in particular Tracey. The choice and quality of the food is excellent. Despite having an expansive menu, all the food is cooked to order, and served hot.They also do a great range of healthy options. It is extremely clean, and plenty of space to enjoy your meal. My wife and I highly recommend this cafe. Thank you so much for making our last trip so special, and hopefully, we'll see you next year.

After a long day shopping in Bromley, my friend and I were looking forward to some fish and chips and decided to check out The Partridge Pub. This was actually my first time inside, despite having lived in Bromley my whole life, and I was excited to finally try it. We even went as far as asking one of the younger staff members for her honest opinion about their fish and chips. She hadn’t tried it herself but told us it had good reviews, which reassured us that we’d made a solid choice. Once seated, my friend and I began checking out the menu, debating on whether to add a starter or maybe even a dessert. Just as we were getting comfortable, an older man from the staff abruptly approached us with zero greeting or warmth and, without any pleasantries, bluntly asked, “Do you two have ID?” The lack of any kind of courtesy caught us off guard right away. There was no “Hello” or “How are you”—just a cold question about ID. I politely explained that I didn’t have my physical ID with me, but I could show him a photo of it, since I am 25. My friend, who is 28, had her passport, which was only expired by a week. Instead of offering any understanding, he immediately shut us down, saying he wouldn’t accept it. His tone was dismissive and even slightly aggressive, which made the situation feel needlessly confrontational. We were taken aback because we hadn’t even walked up to the bar yet and had no plans to order any alcohol—we were there simply to enjoy a meal. This detail seemed to make no difference to him, as he seemed unwilling to listen or show any understanding whatsoever. After a few awkward exchanges, it was clear he wasn’t interested in accommodating us, so we decided to leave. This whole encounter left a really sour taste, and we ended up feeling as though we weren’t welcome. It’s sad, especially when so many pubs are built on warm hospitality and creating a welcoming environment for customers, whether they’re regulars or new faces. The Partridge Pub unfortunately fell short in every way when it came to customer service. It’s unfortunate that such a promising evening ended in such a disappointing way. If this is the level of service they offer to potential new customers, I can’t imagine recommending The Partridge to anyone looking for a friendly and enjoyable experience. We ended up going elsewhere and having a lovely meal, but it’s a shame that we had to go through this negative experience first.

Called in for lunch after a bank holiday walk on the common. Pub was not too crowded and we were served at the bar quickly. Two local real ales, both good and well-kept. Food took a short while to arrive while we waited in the sunny garden. My cheddar ploughman's was generous and fresh- how great to get a ploughman's as these seem to have fallen from favour. My wife had a special; prawn, avocado and cream cheese baguette and chips. Again very tasty and generous. We struggled to finish our meals! The only small quibble was the indifference of the bar staff. On arrival we were not "greeted" and indeed the 2 barmen were carrying on a private conversation all the time they were pouring our beers. Efficient, yes, but somewhat lacking in enthusiasm and/or professionalism. Aside from that we would strongly recommend this large semi-rural pub for a good lunch. Value for money too.

We had an amazing time at the pub, especially as it was my wife’s first visit and similarly our youngest grandson (17) and his girlfriend (18) The purpose of our visit was to have a pre celebration of our grandson’s birthday, as he would be celebrating his 18 on 15th October. The staff made us feel very welcome from the moment that we entered the pub, as they were so friendly and polite. We had some soft drinks with our food, which consisted of 1 Haddock Goujons and 3 Smash Burgers. The quality of the food was excellent and we strongly recommend the choices that we made. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

We arrived about 4pm for my brother in laws birthday gathering myself and about 5 others we where having a very nice day celebrating his birthday and seeing in the end of Christmas we spent about £200 on food and drinks all the staff were lovely and helpful and the bar was full of happy joyful laughter until one manager came to our table and rudely told us to shut up because one of us was laughing too much we weren’t causing anything problems and the table next to us was joining in with our happy friends laughs just one manager came and angrily shouted at us for no good reason other than we were laughing to loud she ruined our evening refused to sever the drinks we had ordered because I questioned her about her unfair attitude but she didn’t care she laughed in our faces and another male manger backed her up even tho she was in the wrong we regret spending £200 in this bar
