AppleYard in Bexley

We went on Saturday evening for a girl's night, which was so good! We had Tapas, and the chorizo and prawns were stunning! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was great and it was extremely reasonably priced. Favourite restaurant in Sidcup.

Delicious tapas and brilliant cosy atmosphere. The manager bent over backwards to fit us in even though we didn't have a table booked. Fantastic cocktails, even managed to make us a top class Amaretto Sour despite not being on the menu. Well done guys x

Really enjoyed our Sunday meal at appleyard. Jambon croquettes to start were lovely, lamb dinner was perfect and the churroes were a fantastic end to the meal.

Didn’t enjoy this place at all good wasn’t great, service was very poor and wait time for food was absolutely appalling never eat here

Warm welcome, the food was delicious

Many moons ago when this was Station Road Bistro we came here on our first date and had only visited once since it became Appleyard, so decided to pay it another visit. We hadn't booked a table and popped in on the off chance, finding space firstly up at the bar (sat in exactly the same place I was when we first met, adding to the nostalgia trip!) then later up at one of the tables in the bar area. Appleyard is a busy and bustling place, but avoids being noisy or cramped, with well thought out decor and seating appropriate to the atmosphere, target audience and price point. We eat some very nice Tapas, with the baby squid and potatas bravas being particular highlights while we sunk our beers, then moved onto a very nice Rioja before ending the night with a couple of well made espresso martinis. The prices are not 'cheap and cheerful' by any means, but the quality of the food, the drink and the friendly service it make it good value for money. We'll be back.

Came here last night with friends. We’d pre booked a table and staff were attentive upon us arriving. I ordered the Grilled Squid for my starter. This was divine. It was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My friends ordered the Croquetas de Morcilla and the Gambas Al Ajilo. Everyone was very satisfied with their starters. For the main I ordered the Spaghetti Bottarga which had prawns and squid in it. The spaghetti was plentiful and was very tasty. My friends all ordered the pork belly which was also tasty. I had a little piece from them. For desert we all had the Creme Caramel which reminded me of the many I’ve had in my time in Spain. We shared some beautiful Spanish white wine too. Service was on point. Attentive, informative and service with a smile. Overall a really lovely evening made better with great food and great service. We’ll be back. Keep up the great work Appleyard.

What an enjoyable evening. All staff were very friendly and approachable. My friends and I came here on Saturday 25th. The squid and bean starter was delicious, The pork belly dish was heavenly. I do wished I hadn’t order the truffle Mac n cheese as a side, as I was quite full! The grilled vegetables were enough for the whole table. The crème caramel to finish ended the meal perfectly for me. My friends had the Leon black pudding, and also the spaghetti dish also. Food was enjoyed by all, and we would like to revisit. It was nice that the head chef came out a few times and asked us and other customers if we were enjoying our food! ¡Gracias, all at Apple Yard!

Visited here with friends last night. I had high expectations after reading g the reviews of this place and this restaurant lived up to the expectations. For starters I order the grilled squid which comes with the Catalan beans. Purée, chorizo and pea shoots. The squid was grilled perfectly and was seasoned perfectly and was very tasty. My friend had the Gambas Al Ajilo which was also very tasty. We did a little swap of each others to try. For the main I had the Spaghetti Bottarga which is served with squid, prawns, chilli, garlic and parmesan crumbs. My main was plentiful and again delicious. The seafood was cooked perfectly and its a few ingredients cooked perfectly all accompanied with a nice white Spanish wine. Service was attentive and good. Overall a great restaurant and my friends and I agreed we’d be returning. Keep up the great work.

Went for sunday roast with friends . Lovely restaurant . Bit squashed in around the tables . Very impressive decor in the toilet ! Food was delicious but not much of it - which made it expensive

Fantastic food, beautiful restaurant and lovely attentive, friendly staff. We visited for the bottomless brunch which was outstanding value, cannot fault and cant wait to go back!

Only had a couple of cocktails, they were delicious. Very nice people, hopefully will return when next in the area 👍

Great atmosphere, really enjoyed the food, I had the pork tenderloin that was delicious, the service was excellent, overall a great experience and will definitely go back.

Thank you to Appleyard for yet again another gorgeous meal. I ate here yesterday for my husbands 40th birthday meal and the food and service was amazing. All 14 guests loved the food, it was delicious! It is honestly one of my favourite restaurants, the food is cooked to perfection. There is also a great wine choice. Kid friendly too! Can't thank you enough and can't wait to return. Amy and family

Always a pleasure to get some cocktails and tapas

Ideal setting to relax and unwind. The cozy decor and easygoing vibe made it a perfect escape from the daily hustle. The menu is a mix of comfort food and casual bites, and each dish had that homemade touch. We love it there. Susana and her team always makes us feel very welcome and food is always spot on. Great selection of wines and cocktails. If you're in the mood for a laid-back dining experience with tasty treats this is definitely a perfect place.

I visited AppleYard on a sunday afternoon with 3 other people. The menu is great, caters for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff are very efficient and work very hard. The food is gorgeous. The prawn start dish is one of the best starters ive ever had. The chicken main was delicious. So tasty! The chef came out to check everything was ok - its great to see this and how much it meant to him. The detail to the food is spot on. I cant wait to go back! thank you!

Came here midweek for dinner and it was a lovely surprise. Food was delicious - black pudding croquettes and aubergine to start with pork belly for main and followed up by churros to finish. All cooked well, presented nicely and the place just had a lovely atmosphere - we'll 100% be back.

You won't be disappointed with the AppleYard! The food is absolutely delicious, my husband is still talking about the mac & cheese side he had. They have an excellent wine selection and the portion sizes were good. The staff were friendly, despite a short delay to our table being ready we were attended to quickly once we were seated. Despite it being a busy Saturday night we in no way felt rushed - there was the perfect amount of time between our courses. Will definitely be back!

Great service, authentic food and atmosphere. Fantastic tapas with a drink in the bar or great choice of starters and mains in restaurant. Highly. recommended

I visited the Appleyard while visiting London and it was so good I went back a week later. I loved sitting at the high tables near the bar relaxing with good music, good wine and great food. I will most definitely visit again - every dish I’ve tried from the menu was fantastic and the staff are very welcoming

Went here for the first time with 5 of our friends. There is a great atmosphere upon entering. The staff were friendly and very attentive. The wine list is extensive and has wines from all over the world. The menu has a great choice and there is a specials board as well. The food was perfectly cooked and very generous portions. We were pleasantly surprised when the bill arrived! Great service, great price and reasonable prices, we will be back!

On a recommendation my wife and I booked into the bar area for Tapas early on a Saturday evening evening. The Margaritas were excellent, made slightly different, but very good. We had four tapas from the menu. Black Pudding Croquettes ( I guess not an original Spanish dish) - very good. Potato Bravas - very good, but then as staple it should be. Green Peppers - very good. Meat Balls - good but I’ve had a better sauce. The bar area has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very good. We will go back and try some of the other dishes available

Lovely place for romantic meal with your lovely wife . Lovely music lovely food and friendly staff who look after you well . Definitely recommend and definitely will be back .. thank you xx

This was our first visit, and we had a great time. The Pork Belly from the specials menu was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Tapas is lovely good portions. Good value. Wine is a good selection and good quality.

Gotta be honest, food was bland bland bland and stupid expensive Cheese on toast would have hit the spot and the £100 saving would have been welcome ! Try the curry house next door but one Amazing food and 1/3 of the price

Had an amazing night here last night for my sons 40th birthday. Cant tell you how hard all the staff worked. Food delicious.

Excellent food, cheerful and attentive staff who both provided excellent service. All in all, a first class experience. The chefs were also cheerful and friendly which was good to see. Wish I didn't live so far away, if I were nearer would use this restaurant at least twice a month. Also, thanks Cameron for sorting out the wine!!

Originally gave this place 5 stars, but clearly management care more for profit than customers. Scrambled eggs & toast + Chorizo went from £8 to £13 overnight and no change to what you get. Spanish breakfast gone £11-£16 and ingredients simplified, get better one from cafe for half the price. Was a regular here every Saturday for lunch. The chef and staff are lovely and I feel so sorry for them. Was the meal we looked forward to each week. I understand prices have to rise, but 50% in one day, crazy. £10 for a basic scrambled eggs on toast... Maybe they thought it had gold leaf on it? No idea. Soo unfortunate and disappointing .

Very friendly welcome, great service and excellent tapas! The jambon croquettes were especially delicious. Highly recommend!

. I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant for a long time. A good wine selection and there was a nice atmosphere with attentive staff but the food was very average, quite expensive for that it was and lukewarm. I was hoping for some Spanish classics but was disappointed. It felt a bit conveyor belt with the food. I would not return.

Good service but food quality did not did not match the price.

Best spanish restaurant in the area. The food is really authentic. Try the lamb shoulder as sunday roast. And they had basque burned cheesecake! Amazing! 🥰

First time in and won’t be the last it was lovely. The staff were lovely and the food was beautiful looking forward to trying the Sunday lunch

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Great vibe but service lets it down. Starter arrived and still no drinks! Had to chase for everything. Food is nice but not amazing. Would I go again - I wouldn’t rush back.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Amazing food, friendly staff, great ambiance, good wines, excellent service. A tad expensive but you get what you pay for. It never disappoints. Great to have it in Sidcup and our go to place for a special occasion or just a treat.

Wonderful food and wine, great ambience, and lovely decor. Worth a repeat visit.

Love AppleYard. Great tapas. Great atmosphere.

Not a fan and at those prices they need to taste their own food. Not impressed.

I’ve been here two times one time was a Thursday and it wasn’t busy and it was great. I went back this Friday and although the food was good the service was pretty bad. It took ages to take our order and we had to keep asking the servers to bring stuff as they kept forgetting. Also they ran out of a lot of the specials and the food on the menu and it was only 8 o clock! This restaurant is not cheap so would expect much better service for what you pay and to have most of the food by then too. The food is good but it’s a bit overpriced. I would recommend the croquettes and the pork belly. They are lovely! I had the steak this time round and it was just so and so. Overall service really let them down and the fact that they ran out of so much so early in the night but is still a nice restaurant.

We really love Appleyard just prices are high for wine and then adding service charge for a drink makes it an unaffordable visit.

Went to Apple Yard Sidcup for a meal with my friend, this place is just amazing! We opted for brunch and tapas (same quality that you could find in Spain). All the dishes were amazing, delicious and fresh, best chef ever! Definitely recommend. Staff and owner were so friendly and helpful too. I would certainly go back again. Gracias!

We have been here a few times, always sit in the front bar for wine and tapas The pig cheeks are so lovely. But Please Please guys warm the plates, the food goes cold so fast. That is really my only criticism, and you need to be a mountain goat to climb to the toilets, that could be my age or the wine.

First off I did read a lot of negative reviews and I was really worried about going but glad we did. Had dinner on Friday for 8 people and first impression is I really like the bar and drinks area it has a good vibe. Was sitting at dinner and the service was great, the waitress was v attentive. The food wasn't cheap but also not super expensive but the portions were so big! especially the Pork belly. My steak was cooked to perfection, and to finish they do THE BEST after coffee (alcoholic) I don't know what it was but it was soooo good.

II can’t say enough great things about this place, the vibe is so cosy (we chose to eat in the bar as it wasn’t too busy on a January Tuesday evening). The wine was lovely. The food was extremely good. Everything came out piping hot having been cooked to order. Of the six dishes we ordered I think the stars of the show were the black pudding croquetas, beef empanadas and the chickpeas + spinach (just £4.25!!) We ordered off the tapas menu. We will definitely be back soon. Top drawer and really good value for money as well. Have eaten at many Spanish places in central London and paid way more food nowhere near as great.

Very authentic Spanish tapas and a la carte menu. Lovely atmosphere, staff, and service. Great to see the kitchen working at the back of the restaurant too.

Food was excellent, I had the black pudding croquettes to start which were lovely and the pork belly for main which was great. Only thing I would say is the workers where lovely but our waitress wasn’t too clued up on the menu, we asked what the special was but she didn’t know then we asked about the soup of the day and again she didn’t seem to know and then told us it was seafood and tomato. We thought this was strange so she went to ask again and it turned out it was seafood or tomato. Overall great restaurant, if it wasn’t for this I would’ve given 5 stars. Personally I think the waiters should know in advanced the specials and the items on the menu.

Staff made a mistake in order when the bill came they refused to alter the price as they had given the wrong drink which was more expensive. Staff were rude then proceeded to accuse us of lying, the manager refused to come and speak to us and were altogether horrible

Our first visit, will be our last. Party of four, we had to call a waiter over after 15 minutes just to take a drinks order….the young waiter did not appear over happy in his work. We shared starters…charcuterie board and a Camembert, and these were fine. For mains two had seafood spaghetti and one had vegetable spaghetti. The dishes could not be eaten as they were way too salty…not slightly over seasoned but like someone had tipped too much salt in. When the waitress came to clear the table we pointed out the clearly un-touched dishes and the salt issue….she apologised but no more. We all chose churros for dessert….the fried and fluffy Spanish doughnuts we all know…..these were definitely fried but we’re not cooked in the middle, in fact they were almost hollow with a lining of uncooked dough around the middle. These had either been re-fried or the oil temperature had been set way too high….again the plates went back unfinished. One of us ordered a coffee which arrived with a hair floating in it….we returned this and never saw a replacement. When the bill come all dishes were present along with a service charge. We politely pointed out and questioned the service charge with who we assume was the manager…he did not ask why we were not happy with the service, did not show any interest as to why we wanted to question it. We paid and left. The restaurant was at best a third full on a Friday night, maybe others have had similar issues? It is not a cheap restaurant, it looks very nice and is nice inside……but poor food and poor service let’s it down. A shame.

Friendly and helpful staff, nice food, reasonable pricing!

Had a great time with friends at The Appleyard. Served by Cameron who really looked after us. Food was fantastic lots of tapas, drinks were great. Will definitely go back again. An unexpectedly great night .

This restaurant is a delight lovely staff lovely food the owner whose name escapes me was very receptive and always at hand please if in the area try appleyard You won’t be disappointed

Lovely laid back atmosphere. Portions of roast chicken were huge! Staff were really friendly. Will go back to try tapas/ a la carte menu :)

Amazing food from Jorge and great service!

Just not that great unfortunately. Had the roast and it was ok , nothing special. Pork belly was cooked well but covered in cardamon seeds & black pepper seeds for some strange reason which completely ruined the meal. 2 potatoes & a carrot and that...

From the booking over the phone to the last moment there, they have all been really nice and welcoming. The place is really nice, and the food was amazing. I can’t wait until I come next to taste their tapas (we had the a la...

Incredible tapas and exceptional service! Try their croquetas de morcilla ;)

Just had a fantastic Sunday lunch great food and excellent staff ,can’t wait to come back

Thank you Appleyard for a fabulous meal. The food was outstanding, so delicious we didn’t want it to end. Service was excellent and everyone was so friendly. Wonderful atmosphere and couldn’t fault anything. We can’t wait to come back.

Super food, team and ambience. Will definitely be returning.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Sidcup. The diner menu has a spanish orientation, food was well cooked, fresh and well presented. Staff were friendly and helpful. Chef’s really Spanish too! Good wine list. Had the fish, which was excellent. Restaurant looked empty from outside but was almost full inside on a Wednesday. It’s a little pricey for Sidcup, but I think it’s justified with the quality.

Food is really yummy but the service is terrible! Not the friendliest bunch (but will add not rude) and EXTREMELY slow. Sat outside as it was a really warm, we were given menus but after that nobody came out to take our order or drinks request for 15/20 mins- we had to go inside and ask. Decided to sit inside where we were more visible, ordered oysters, tapas dishes and 3 margaritas. Food came, we ate, drinks still hadn’t arrived and we had finished eating. 40 minutes to make a margarita! I note it was not busy, only us (3 people) at the bar, and 3 girls eating in the main restaurant. There were 2 waitresses on duty. We were planning to stay and drink but decided to eat/drink up and carry on the night at either the Hackney or Boyles where it’s not a 40 minute wait for a drink. This is the second time i’ve visited and I’m not wowed. I wont be returning for a third.

Great food with authentic Spanish ingredients The chef George turns out some amazing food and interacts with diners. Nice atmosphere and that makes it enjoyable to sit and have a cocktail after eating. Highly recommended.

We decided to go again on the spur of the moment and we were lucky to get a table; so would advise booking, even during the week. Lovely food and wine. Would highly recommend.

We have dined at The Appleyard a few times and every visit is a delight. The food is outstanding, the host extremely accommodating and attentive without being in your face and the atmosphere lovely. Always look forward to coming back for more delicious food.

Our favourite restaurant for date night. Staff are so welcoming and the food is always so delicious.

Disappointed to be told when we arrived that we couldn’t have the bottomless brunch as it finished at 3pm and we booked for 2pm. Service was pretty poor and the food wasn’t great for the price either. Wouldn’t return.

Was found a table quickly and food was delicious and also arrived quickly. Friendly staff. Would recommend

When you pass the door, different sensations take you to Spain; the music, the smells, the warmth... Around you different wines, tapas and foods with a "made in Spain" seal, because even the cook is Spanish. Meats, seafood, fish, beer, sangria... and homemade desserts. A cheerful and pleasant service, and the feeling of being in a restaurant in Spain. That in the UK is priceless. When you have Spanish "morriña"... here they put your beer and your tapa, even the little plate of olives! 100% recommendable. We will repeat!!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

Had dinner & drinks in this little gem of a place last night, what a great night we had. The food was delicious & tasted amazing. I would highly recommend the mussels & garlic prawns for starters and the fillet steak. The staff were really...

I would never visit your restaurant when you serve a baby pig and a baby lamb!

Best beetroot gazpacho I have ever tasted, in this unusual combination of modern English and refined tapas bar.

Stunning food and great service. Probably the best place to eat in Sidcup.

Business lunch with four. Nice and cosy restaurant, Spanish orientated with lovely food (tapas) and drinks. Good atmospere and friendly landlady. Recommendable in every aspect.

This was a revisit since the new owners took over. We haven’t been since 2019 and then obviously Covid hit! Lovely atmosphere and the restaurant was welcoming and cosy. We shared the prawn starter unfortunately they didn’t have the mussels that we wanted. Hubby had...

Nice set up but food was rather salty and pricey. £346 for six people with two bottles of wine. Steaks (two sirloin steaks and one fillet steak) were rather tough and definitely not good value. My dog will enjoy the leftovers though. Creamy mushrooms were extremely salty. Not good value. Couldn’t be bothered with dessert or coffee.

We went for Sunday Lunch and will go back to try the Al La Carte menu. We started by sharing the Ham Croquetas, which were spot on. My wife and I both ordered the roast beef. This was good but could have been better. We...

A cut above most Sidcup eateries in terms of quality of food and the setting. Extra marks for serving all wines in carafe size as well.

Fantastic evening at Apple yard Sidcup, definitely the best place around here, welcoming friendly service, delicious food, we couldn't ask for more.

Went with work colleague. I asked to be moved as the tables for two are very close back to back with next table. Waitresses are friendly enough and place is quirky. However, food is over priced for what you get, nothing special for a £20+...

Nice restaurant but unfortunatley food was not up to standard.

What a beautiful place! Wonderful Sunday lunch, and we will be back for the weekday menu. Beautifully cooked food, excellent service and delicious wine. All in a chic and cosy setting.

Visited apple yard for dinner with our friends, service was great, staff lovely and friendly. Food was all really really good! Definitely recommend, i would just advise that this is a more pricey restaurant for local, however the food was worth it! Steak was amazing...

This is a beautiful, relaxing little place.Amazing ambience,very good customer services.Good food & an amazing selection of drinks😃👌🌟🥘🍸🍹🍷

Exceptional. The food is fantastic, the wine is awesome, and the staff are all really lovely. I’m so glad this place has managed to stay afloat for the last few years. It’s on the pricey side but worth every penny.

A lovely pleasant stop off, on the high Street across the road from the park. Polite and friendly staff, good service, really tasty deserts. We had churrios (so good), chocolate mousse and the gorgeous cheesecake with orange and salted caramel-Really nice fresh baked and not sweet. I would visit again for their brunches which look very affordable.

Came here for dinner mid week, the lady waitress was very friendly and there is a nice atmosphere. My friends who were meat eaters were happy but unfortunately there was not much variety for myself. I would also say some items are overpriced.

Friendly staff, interesting and excellent food

Best cup of coffee I have had beats all the coffee shops in the local area. I will be coming back again and nice heaters outside

Delicious food, wine and lovely staff 😁.

Can’t get enough of your ham croquettes !! Great food, amazing service , I would love to try your wine but you have mahou beer so I can’t resist to have a pint every time I go. Thank you guys!! 🙏🙏

A gastronomic delight. Spectacular. Superb service. Excellent food. A special night, but you get what you pay for.

Brilliant food, one of the best steaks I've had. Service is top notch as well.

Lovely good and great service. First visit and will definitely be going back 👍👍

Had my first dinner and experience of Appleyard last night and it was fabulous. The food and service was very good indeed and the waitress went above and beyond when dealing with e specific requirements. I urge others to try these guys out for themselves

Very good food and pleasant helpful service.

Returned with my two daughters this time Booked table for four and mentioned one was in pram they accommodated for this nicely Food is fantastic can’t fault it Unfortunately as I have a 6/12 child she chose this time to vomit and when I say...

I have visited this restaurant four times and on every occasion the food has been superb. Some of the dishes, such as the suckling lamb, cannot be sourced in the UK, so it was a pleasure to sample this imported Spanish speciality. On the latter...

A friend recommended this restaurant and I can see why. The food was delicious - a Spanish chef (we checked) produced excellent food which was much better than UK tapas I’ve had previously. We shared a selection of starters. All were delicious. I shared the...
