Bexley Kitchen in Bexley

Found this little gem on Bexley High Street a while ago and was blown away by the food quality. Whether it is a Sunday roast Mediterranean style, the garlic mushrooms or the Monday steaks, the cooking is amazing. The owners are friendly and the service excellent. The upstairs room can get a little noisy but nothing to stop you going. Highly recommended for a great tasting, very reasonably priced dining experience.

Had the most delicious fillet steak as a main meal. Scallops starter were super. Staff were so friendly and helpful. We felt so well looked after. We will definitely eat at Bexley Kitchen again.

First visit to Bexley Kitchen and can say we will definitely be back! My husband is a relatively selective eater (married a chef!) so you can imagine my surprise when he ordered and finished three courses! This never happens. The service was fantastic and the host friendly and regaled us with witty stories. The food really was excellent and so reasonably priced. If you have any doubts about this place then I'd say put them to one side and give Bexley Kitchen a try, judge for yourself and I think you will be pleased you did. See you soon BK.

The food was excellent from a simple but varied reasonably priced menu. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall a lovely evening definitely worth a visit and we will be returning.

Great food and friendly staff. Definitely will visit more times.

Excellent food. As good of Carbonara as I’ve had in a long time. Best tomato bisque I’ve ever had. Great prices. Wonderful service. Highly recommend.

To say disappointment would be a huge understatement. From the very start of what was meant to be a nice meal out with my partner; it turned into a culinary disaster. To begin with, both my partner and I requested tap water - the waiter; whom I presume is also the restaurant owner, decided for himself we would be better off with a bottle of still water instead and rushed to open and pour it before we could state this was not what we asked for. To the starter. The start of a downhill slope of overcooked and bland food. The duck salad was cooked so much it was bordering on cremated and will likely need scattering in my toilet later. My partner had a buffalo mozzarella which was 3 slices of mozzarella that tasted like they had been sat in a lukewarm fridge for the year and bought in nearest Tesco express for no more than £1. Moving on to the main course of this catastrophe of a dinner. I ordered the „Juicy Lucy” burger. Lucy had an amazing magic trick. She was burnt to a crisp on the outside but raw pink in the middle. The other main dish ordered was the Kleftiko. I would say klefti-no. The lamb was overcooked, the veg was raw and hard..hardly edible. The sauce tasted like it had been made last Christmas and been sat in a tin somewhere since. When it came out so much oil had separated from the sauce soaking raw/hard veg with oil. Not pleasant. If the food was bad; the service was worse. With juicy Lucy being sent back to the kitchen(back to the microwave is what it sounded like) a near 40min wait for a new one meant what was meant to be a nice date evening had my partner eating and chewing tough lamb meat for hours while I was sat twiddling my thumbs. At no point did the server ask if my partners food was ok(which it wasn’t and he left 75% of it) or if we wanted anything else while waiting. He even rushed to keep us there when we threatened to leave ensuring the new burger was coming soon. Adding service charge was the final nail in the coffin of this disaster of meal. There seemed to be no sense of pride or desire from staff, I know I would be embarrassed if someone returned something clearly raw but this was brushed off quickly. We left in a hurry and will definitely not be returning any time soon. I suggest you all give juicy Lucy and the Bexley kitchen a swerve. I do not understand how somewhere with such awful food, horrible decor (wallpaper coming off the wall) and the resident flies can lead to this place having such a high rating. Overpriced and overhyped. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

Little gem in Bexley and the food is affordable and also wholesome and flavoursome. The lamb roast is amazing and great portion on meat and potatoes. I would recommend a visit to here for sure.

Went as a group of 4. Sat on upper level. Service was good and food was ok. Won't be rushing back. Nothing wrong with food but not a stand out experience

Always very happy with the food and the service at Bexley Kitchen. Eaten there on multiple occasions and food is always well cooked, tastes great, good portion size. The service is always attentive and Binna is always welcoming. Great value. A hidden gem in the heart of Bexley Village.

By the busy mini roundabout of Bexley Village sits Bexley Kitchen. An awesome little place with a great cosy atmosphere. Great food and extremely great service! Definitely going back!!!

Is like a half American half Mediterranean menu. My partner had the monk fish, the flavours were really nice! I had the lamb chops super tender, and the mint sauce was up there! I also recommend the mushrooms to start. Very good! Staff were attentive and kind. Was overall a good experience! Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Prawns were fresh and succulent. Steak was nicely cooked to perfection. Lamb shank was flavourful and falling off the bone! Highly recommend and already looking forward to my next visit!

Very nice location in Bexley, friendly, good food and relaxing atmosphere, highly recommended

This cute and quiet little restaurant is superb. A wide selection of dishes and a very friendly and fast service. Would highly recommend. The quality and size of the dishes were excellent considering the prices. Definitely going to return!

I’ve eaten in here a couple of times recently - once for an impromptu dinner and the other was for lunch. Both times the food and the service was really good, and it’s decent value too (they have some good deals on). definitely worth a visit.

Had a great lunch here midweek with my wife recently. Fab food and service. Nicely relaxed 👍😁

A very lovely place. The service is excellent and the food was great! We came in on Sunday after a hike, they had a lovely menu. The atmosphere is very cosy too

Average Western European restaurant

We had a great meal at Bexley Kitchen on Sunday. Delicious food with good menu choices and friendly service. We will defiantly be back.

Fab all round! Loved it, highly recommended xxx

All the food was very tasty and a good portion size. The place is small so book to ensure a table. Reasonably priced.

Amazing, quick service and the most flavoursome food all for a great price. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely place, we’ve been many times and always appreciate the friendly service and good food!

Lovely steak,atmosphere and service. Thank you

Amazing steak, best meal in a while

One of the best kept gems in Bexley village! Always friendly service, fantastic food and drinks to suit every palate. Their chicken souvlaki is my favourite. ❤️

Seen some rubbish reviews on here, so thought I’d balance it out for Bexley Kitchen. We had Sunday lunch here with family recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. We ate from the Sunday lunch menu, which looks limited but was good value for money and the food was delicious. Between the four of us we had a variety from each of the three courses, and everything was good. All beautifully presented, everything was hot enough, absolutely no complaints at all. Well done Bexley Kitchen, and thank you!

Very confused by the reviews on this site. £12 for a overcooked hockey stick of a burger (the kind you buy as a frozen patty) I've had better out of a van at a car boot sale. My husband's carbonara was like someone bought a ready meal from Iceland, dumped a shaker full of salt over it, and microwaved it. Appalling food. The staff were nice. But OMG, the food, especially for the price, was offensive.

We went with high hopes for a romantic meal. The (three) scallops were AWFUL, the tagliatelle saltier and ranker than a Sainsbury frozen meal, and my wife's burger looked like a Wimpy reject, and, she says, tasted as much. Oh, they're very nice people. But its 4.5 star ranking on TripAdvisor is so wildly out of the galaxy of our own experience that I just think the people of Bexley should get out more.

We have visited Bexley Kitchen regularly over the last year. The service and food are faultless every single time. It’s well worth a visit and definitely worth getting the steak. The team there are lovely, always helpful and friendly, nothing is ever too much.

Bexley Kitchen did not disappoint, friendly staff, excellent food, good value would recommend. Sea bass was delicious as was the crispy duck salad and Juicy Lucy Burger, no room for dessert!

Wanted somewhere casual and cosy to meet up and have lunch with an old friend, near where they live. Bexley Kitchen turned out to be perfect. Small venue, with welcoming friendly waitress, and clean and well placed set tables. We had fish for our main courses, swordfish and monkfish. Both can be tricky to cook and can dry out easily. These were fresh off the grill and very well cooked indeed, seared and juicy. Desserts were simple, but of nice quality and rounded the meal off well. Wines keenly priced too. We can recommend Bexley Kitchen with confidence!

Prices can be a little more than your average. Every things came out fresh. The mushroom and cheese starter was way too salty I do not recommend. The sea bass was LOVLEY. Restaurant is extremely small probably only had 8 seats inside. Calamari was nice an soft.

What a difference. A really welcoming small family restaurant. Tried to get in Miller and Carter and they turned us away. Check my review!!. Really nice people here food was amazing. My wife had the steak I had the kleftiko my son the monkfish. Come here instead. We will be back.

Fantastic food, lovely service, can't fault.

Had a lunch date here during a weekday and was very pleased with the service and the food. The set lunch menu had fewer options than shown in the menu on the website but was quite diverse nonetheless. Some items were a bit on the pricier side but the taste and flavours make up for it. Definitely recommend.

Had numerous visits to this great little restaurant. Lovely welcome from staff as always. Delicious meat and vegetarian burgers. New dishes on menu would be good to see!

Great food great service Little gem

Had booked a table for four for a Saturday night. This was our third time and I'm afraid it'll probably be our last. We were placed at a table just inside the main door. Next to us were a party of eight, I'm no Victor Meldrew, but this lot, mainly the women, were so loud and we literally couldn't hear ourselves speak and it was not just our group that were getting a little cheesed off with them. However, that is not the fault of the restaurant, but being a small place noise is definitely a problem. Service was okay but not as friendly as it should have been. Dishes were served across you to other diners and not as should be done. I chose the Crispy Duck salad to start. Not sure if it was meant to be but my duck was cold and was made up of all the small charred pieces that shattered when you chewed them. The only obvious flavour was the smothering of Plum sauce very disappointing. My wife and I both chose the Beef Stefado for main. In our opinion, this was more like a Beef stew with a portion of veg rice, it was very salty. Our friends had the Grilled Sword fish and Beef medallions, both said there was nothing to rave about. The only good points were the cold beers and the wines we had ordered. We first went to the Bexley Kitchen not long after it had first opened and on that occasion, apart from the noise, everything was great as you can see from my previous review, 2nd time, not as good, this time not great at all and we will cross it off of our list of places to eat.

We booked a late Friday lunch. We were informed at the time of booking that the kitchen closed at 3, so ordered in plenty of time. The food was delicious - we shared a meze starter and a prawn starter and had risotto and carbonara for mains. Although the last in their before the kitchen opened again at 5, at no stage were we made to feel unwelcome. Vini was an excellent waitress who looked after us very well. I will definitely be back.

A lovely intimate restaurant with friendly service and great food at reasonable prices

Quite a compact venue but on our visit it wasn't busy so we had no issue. The food was superb. We had a variety from steak to fish, prawns and vegetables. All of the food was very tasty and those that had the steak, from rare to medium, said it had been perfectly cooked to their liking. Highly recommended.

Superb food and very reasonably priced. I went on a Wednesday with a friend and was very impressed by the quality of the food. Totally delicious, the scallops starter was full of flavour. I struggled to choose as a main as they all sounded so great. I went with the seafood spaghetti dish. An absolute delight. It was great to see so many covers on a Wednesday evening. I certainly plan to visit again next time I’m eating out in Bexley.

Visited early on a Friday evening. No nice welcome when we arrived just pointed to a table, which was placed against a wall which badly needed a lick of paint. Was sat at the front of the restaurant, it was freezing, has wall heaters but none were on, asked to move and was seated at the rear next the radiator, but near to the kitchen and toilets. Decor is so mis matched, and poor low end. Toilets really need some major TLC, I couldn't wait to get out. Menu was a little uninspiring, would of been better to have less burgers, and some specials. Maybe some locally sourced Kent Foods seeing the name of the restaurant is "Bexley Kitchen". Food was tasty and hot and it was served as we requested. Had the scallops and prawns to start, and ribeye steak with chunky chips and peppercorn sauce. Please spend some time cleaning and giving the toilet some TLC and then give the interior of the restaurant some consideration and work on the welcome and service of guests and it would be a lovely restaurant.

I went to this restaurant with my dear friend tonight. We was was sooooo disappointed, with the food. Our scallops were raw and smothered in salsa, they were definitely frozen. We politely mentioned that they was raw and no replacement or refund was offered. I will not be returning.

Went as a group of four and all had a different meal. Pleased to say we all really enjoyed the food so will definitely be returning soon.

Lovely food & atmosphere. Looking forward to going back & trying more from the menu

We had a family meal here for 12 people on new years day. The food was amazing, great service and good value for money. The menu choices were extensive and we were really happy with our choices. The burgers in particular were incredible! Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Lovely food, cant fault it at all. Will definitely pay another visit.

We had a wonderful evening at Bexley Kitchen celebrating the wedding of my daughter and son in law. Food, wine and service were excellent. Will definitely be going back to enjoy the hospitality.

Nice room, lovely service , short but adequate wine list. Reasonable prices too. So far so good. But the menu is somehow simultaneously too big and lacking, I suspect the size of the kitchen is the issue but half a dozen different burgers and steaks...

Wish I'd visited sooner! Will definitely be returning. Food, staff and atmosphere were all amazing. Boyfriend said the t-bone steak was the best he's ever had! The price of food is also very reasonable considering the quantity and quality. Drinks were also very fairly priced.

Consistently great with very friendly people.

What a lovely restaurant. Been meaning to try and tonight was the night. Wasn’t disappointed the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was really really good. Something for everyone on the menu and very reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our evening Thank you

Very good lunch menu. Service great. Will be back.

Cute little restaurant with friendly, attentive service. The wild mushroom risotto was rich, creamy and had good texture.

Varied menu, steaks,fish and pasta dishes. Expensive and small portions of vegetables with the main dishes,

Ordered 4 fillet steaks and the Monkfish. Was a bit worried having fillet steak as a take away as it’s all about how it’s cooked but thought we’d go for it as this restaurant has never disappointed before. Oh my goodness, it was incredible. Cooked...

fabulous little restaurant with the freshest of food, really quaint, romantic place to go for a meal

The food was excellent and service was very prompt - couldn’t have asked for better. Ordered the portobello mushroom burger to takeaway and it was fab. Chips and coleslaw were some of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t praise it enough.

Great food and reasonably priced

Been twice and loved the food on both occasions... Unfortunately losing a star because two bottles of beer (approx 1 pint) works out close to £8 per pint - a little too expensive.

Yet another fab evening and our friends were impressed too. Amazing food and service and very reasonable prices! We will be back soon, thank you 😊

Amazing food at good price and service. Would recommend

We had a great time there on our first visit . Staff so welcoming and lovely food will be back

Booked a table for 2 at 7.30,then got a call back an hour later,to tell me they need me out the restaurant by 8.30 pm!due to them wanting to fit a party of 6 in.wont ever be booking at this place again!!!greedy sods

Brilliant steak 🥩 and lovely staff!

Felt very safe with tables well apart and serving staff wearing masks and gloves. Menu is so good it makes choosing difficult. Good value - especially when they have their specials on. Food is delicious.

Had heard good reviews of Bexley Kitchen so decided to try it during August / Dine out to help out promotion. Service was absolutely fantastic, our waiter (ENAM) went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. He had great knowledge of the...

Having read reviews for Bexley Kitchen we decided to go for a midweek meal and try it out being new to the area. The restaurant is small and intimate which I think is a nice touch. The back of the restaurant seemed warmer and perhaps...

One word, excellent. For work one week in Bexley, four times had a dinner at the bexley kitchen. Just awesome, friendly staff really good food. A five star for the Bexley kitchen!!

We (4 people) hade dinner four times in a week in this restaurant, we were working in this area and every evening we had a very good experience. A great host and hostess.. and excellent food.

Intimate, great value, great service, great food. Menus offers something for everyone Perfect lunch venue

Food amazing - had the stifado, wow

Good value for money, abundant portions, delicious food presented with elegance, nice favours and cooked to perfection. Very good selection of wines and very good options selection on the menu. The staff are all lovely. Please sort out some ventilation at the back because I came out smelling like a roast, it feels claustrophobic and some fresh air is necessary to make the experience a completely pleasant one.

We had a 3 course dinner here. The food was lovely and the staff were friendly and service was good. The souvlaki was recommended on here and was good

Only a small restaurant but very friendly and the food and service was excellent. Very good fixed menu which is affordable and delicious.

Given the trendy name and the look of Bexley Kitchen from the outside, we were quite looking forward to our visit. It didn’t live up to expectations. We were seated at the back, near the toilets and the decor and furnishing is very low end. The wine we ordered was nice - the Sauvignon Blanc and I can recommend that. Starters were odd. I had a duck salad, which was a very basic salad, with rock hard strands of dry duck, with some hoisin drizzled on it. Edible, but not pleasant. Sarah had the prawns, which were so overcooked, I had to wait 5 minutes for them to cool down before I could actually handle them to remove the shells for her. They were poorly prepared and were very difficult to shell, it she said they tasted food, once opened. No finger bowl provided. The mains were a carbonara that lacked any quality and the bacon in it had a very rubbery rind on it. Sarah’s veal was appalling. It was grey, dry and also rubbery. To top it off, it was served with mushrooms that had clearly been from a tin! Yes, tinned mushrooms in a trendy restaurant. Only giving 2 stars because the wine was good and the service was friendly, but zero chance I would come here again, it’s just a terrible restaurant, from a food & ambience perspective.
