Brown's of Bexley in Bexley

Had several visits prior to lockdown food always above average and special service from nice ladies would recomend.

Lovely cakes and good service but apart from the lovely Irish lady that used to work there the others could be rather grumpy , unfriendly, cold shoulder , in a mood etc

Afternoon tea for 4 delivered. Lovely fresh sandwiches and delicious scones and cakes. Would highly recomnend trying this as respite during the lockdown.

My daughter arranged for a VE Day afternoon tea to be delivered as a special treat for me as I live on my own and because of lockdown I have not been out for eight weeks. The box of goodies was delivered to my door with red and blue ribbons in a bow, the gluten free bread sandwiches were amazing, a selection of cakes, a piece of sponge and a scone with a pot of cream and jam and a huge strawberry for good measure.. Browns went above and beyond to make and deliver my special treat..

Hadan afternoon tea for my friends baby shower yesterday and was very impressed. Staff were amazing and choice of drinks was great (various teas, coffees & soft drinks) Geraldine was great when I went in to make the booking too - so friendly and organised. I will definitely be visiting again!

Made several attempts to try & book an Afternoon Tea to celebrate a 50th Birthday back on the summer 2019. Constantly phoned over a fortnight but never bothered to answer! So after being recommended I decided to call down to Browns in an attempt to book. Totally wasted my time as admittedly 15 mins prior to closing, staff member abruptly said “I cant give you any information or take a booking now because I’m too busy clearing up! I suggest you phone us!!” Eventually we did manage to book, however, it was a big mistake as no table ready on arrival as promised. Chipped teapot with Luke warm tea, not sure when the sandwiches had been made and bread dry, limp lettuce. Not pleasant! Cakes were marginally better. We will definitely not be returning to this Tea House in a hurry.

I attended Browns of Bexley from a recommendation by my mechanic. I have gone there once before to collect local honey which they sell but never had a chance to sit down with a cup of tea and bite to eat, which I did this time round. I am so glad I did it was lovely. The owners were welcoming, the food was great and the atmosphere was relaxing. I was sad to get the call my car was ready as I was so relaxed. Thank you 😊

Had Afternoon Tea there today and it was FAB-U-LOUS. Great selection of homemade cakes and sandwiches on very fresh bread. Lida & Geraldine are great fun & thoroughly deserve the praise.

We was in the area for a meeting and wanted somewhere for breakfast, and found this delightful little tea shop, the scrambled egg on toast was delicious, and we loved all the lovely china used, if I was in the area again would definitely come back and would love to try the afternoon tea.

We took my Dad here to celebrate Father's Day and had a lovely couple of hours. The food was delicious and was replenished throughout our afternoon tea so we left with very full tums. The quality of the food was excellent and the lemon drizzle cake was outstanding, I wish mine tasted as good. Geraldine and all the staff were really friendly and I would thoroughly recommend a visit to them for afternoon tea. Thank you!

Spent a lovely 2 hours here for my Dads Fathers day present. The food was absolutely beautiful and nothing was too much trouble. Took some Lemon Drizzle cake away as was so good. Will be returning.

This little gem is just amazing! The food is always unbelievably tasty, fresh and homemade. Locally sourced produce too 👍 We come here ALOT. My baby shower was here and we have frequently visited since. You just can’t beat how lovely the food is, from lunches to afternoon tea. Geraldine who owns it is the loveliest person (as are all the staff) they can’t do enough for you and you can tell they put pride into what they serve. Nothing is bought in from other suppliers pre made like some other afternoon teas we have been too! All homemade and fresh! The BEST scones EVER! You can’t beat it. I’ve had afternoon tea at 5 other places in the local area and this is by far the best! They can even bring it to you!!! You won’t be disappointed, book it! 🎂☕️ :)

Probably one of the best Delicantessen I have been in. The food is amazing all home made and individual taste catered for . The staff very welcoming caring and prompt service in interesting surroundings . This little gem is the hub of Bexley Village! Well done Geraldine and staff. 10/10 5•

We had a fabulous time here, and they were so accommodating. The cake was lovely, and they catered for the dietary requirements of all the group. We visited for a hen do, and they allowed us to bring our own Prosecco. We all had a fantastic time and I have been meaning to bring my mum here for a visit!

Me and my family decided to have a afternoon tea for our great nans 90th birthday. We went in to browns knowing full well what we was in for, The fun amazing welcoming staff. A variety of cakes, sandwiches and drinking an untold amount of tea. My Nan didn’t stop talking about how amazing it was inside and was already talking about a return before she’d finished. I’d always recommend browns if your in the area!!!

We were four tired and weary walkers passing this lovely cafe after an eight mile walk on The London Loop. The owner was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. We just wanted drinks, but we could see there was a lovely selection of cakes, including gluten free ones. We were so lucky to find this little gem.

I’ve visited this bakery a couple of times with friends. But today I took my Nan for afternoon tea and she absolutely loved it!

First time here today and it was worth the trip from Essex to celebrate my mums birthday with family. Absolutely a rare occasion I did not hesitate for a 5 star ⭐️.

I visited Browns of Bexley yesterday afternoon with some friends, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, there was a very good and extensive choice of food and endless lovely cups of tea. The staff were very friendly and helpful putting tables together for us. We would certainly come again before too long. Highly recommend.

A lovely spot for a sausage roll, tea, and relax a bit. The staff were welcoming, and the area is vibrant.

After having seen rave reviews on Tripadvisor ,my friend and I decided to try one of their afternoon teas

Planning a funeral is a nightmare. Especially when we were expecting 200+ people to attend. Having trawled the web for a suitable caterer, we found Geraldine at Browns, went to visit her at the cafe and were immediately impressed with the food and the friendly staff. Geraldine assured us that she could provide what we needed and she did not disappoint! Great food, superb staff. Everything went brilliantly. They sorted out everything we needed, cleaned the venue kitchen and bar area when we'd finished and washed & repackaged all the hired glasses for us. They went way beyond our expectations and took a lot of the stress out of the situation. Highly recommended.

The service was excellent ,the lovely lady who owns Browns even went to buy some strawberry jam as they had raspberry in the scones and the Victoria sponge A bit unusual for a cream tea I thought.! The sandwiches were very nice and the atmosphere friendly .Theres a largish room at the back if needed for a group ( Ideal for ladies what lunch!) Quite a small but cosy seating area ,bit noisy with the traffic but all in all an enjoyable treat .

We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon tea at Brown's of Bexley yesterday. Geraldine, Katie and Leslie were so accommodating and friendly! We were a large group with one gluten free and one vegan and Brown's of Bexley really went the extra mile to make sure that everything was up to standard. They even let us bring some bottles of prosecco to toast the occasion!

This tiny café with a bijou courtyard at the back is a little treasure. We wondered in for lunch with our three year old grandson and were made very welcome with a huge box of toys to keep him occupied. There’s a lovely selection of sandwiches, sausage rolls, various plates and choices of breads. Brie and chilli jam was nicely composed as was the tuna mayonnaise and child’s portion of sausage roll with chunky cucumber pieces. A pot of tea for two was refilled without asking and service excellent. The cakes looked delicious and proved to be so. Victoria sponge and a toasted tea cake were our choices but the other offerings looked attractive.

I have had the pleasure of visiting this lovely cafe a couple of times now and the food is very good, as is the attentive and friendly service. Their sandwiches and their cakes are delicious. I thoroughly recommend this place for a tasty lunch!

My friends and I had a super afternoon tea here yesterday. Lovely staff, cakes and sandwiches. Puts a lot of posh hotels and restaurants to shame who charge at least double the price. Looking forward to visiting again.

Wonderful post wedding afternoon tea for 50 people provided by Geraldine and Chloe from Browns of Bexley. Great selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes all handmade and neatly set up in our home. Beautiful crockery included. Highly recommend Browns and such nice people too!

First visit today to Brown's of Bexley.

Absolutely fabulous bespoke platters , with a lovely selection of cheeses and cold meats. Atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff were so attentive.

Had a lovely mother's Day here and great afternoon tea, could bring our own processco too! Geraldine and her daughter went the extra mile and looked after us so well!

Teensy weensy eatery. This is a very interesting little find. Lots of lovely produce to buy and a great choice of lunchtime treats. I had the yummy scone with raspberry jam and clotted cream and a cheese toasty - nice big pot of tea - very good. The cream teas look like heaven which you have to give notice for but am looking forward to trying on my next visit. So many interesting things to buy in the shop too. Well worth a visit. Lovely people who run it too.

The table was set up ready and waiting. It looked lovely. It was laid with antique crockery.The food was very good quality. The cakes all homemade were gorgeous. We had 3 young children and they had there own smaller cake teir with their own sandwiches and treats. We were given bags to bring home anything that was left !!! Would definitely recommend it. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Will be back soon.

Booked Christmas afternoon tea for two. Was welcomed on arrival and sat at a festival looking table. A huge selection of sandwiches and cakes arrived along with a large pot of tea. Friendly staff and a lovely afternoon. Will definitely return for lunch.

Tenía un fabuloso té tarde aquí, personal muy amable y no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros, comida, y seguían ofreciendo más bocadillos y tartas y mucho té - gran relación calidad-precio con un servicio fabuloso y la comida fantástica - altamente recomendado

Buena comida y un ambiente agradable. Mi único comentario sería que como también tienen, en mi fuera caterering dos visitas el propietario ha sido un poco ocupado discutiendo con clientes potenciales. menús

Took my mum for afternoon tea today and we couldn't fault it !! I phoned and booked a few weeks ago and asked if we could have extra savoury and not so many cakes the lady on the phone said it wouldn't be a problem at all . she did ask me to pop down with a deposit which I had full intention in doing but had a crazy few weeks and was unable to I phoned the day before to apologise and to check the booking again polite lady on the phone said not a problem as booking still in diary and even conformed we wanted savoury extras .When we arrived we were seated at a table by the window and made very comfortable and welcome . We were offered tea or coffee . When they brought over the cake stand we couldn't believe how much on it SANDWICHES : ,beef&horserdish , tuna&cucumber , ham&mustard coronation chicken ........ homemade sausage, crackers with a red stilton cheese ........ scones with jam and cream and brownies .We couldn't finish it all and the lovely ladies boxed them up for us to take home . We will be back again soon

Excellent scones, big pot of tea in a china teapot, china cups and saucers - such a nice change from pot mugs. Homemade cakes and scones, also properly baked bread with ham and homemade coleslaw.Very friendly and helpful ladies. They also do outside catering, fantastic Victoria sandwich, chocolate sponge cake, assorted sandwiches, all served on china crockery.Much better than mass produced food.You should definitely come here.

My husband and I had afternoon tea here, a treat from our daughter. It was one of the best spreads with so many sandwiches and homemade cakes it was delicious, such a lovely friendly welcome, we will definitely be back, in fact booked for next week !

In for lunch at Brown's today. The friendliest and most interesting restaurant in Bexley.I did not specify what I wanted just something healthy and tasty - they prepared a salad with a savoury pastry that could not be bettered. My wife has a gluten allergy and this was dealt without any problem.If you need a quick lunch or to pick up some quality delicatessen product - this interesting place has more character and quality than anywhere else in the village

I have read all other reviews very carefully before submitting my review but unfortunately my experience does not compare with the others.When we arrived out tea was already waiting on the tableHow long had it been there? Who knows. This was very off putting.The scones had already been sliced with cream and jam already added.Eaten many a cream tea in my time but never with the scones already prepared this way.Sandwiches were varied but there was no variety of cake - all just different type of sponge. At least the tea from the teapot was goodI was recommended to come here but unfortunately was disappointed and will not return

I'm a regular visitor to Brown's and so it was an easy decision to use them for an outside catering event. They did not disappoint!! From set up to finish they were highly professional and provided an excellent level of service and catering. Its rare to see almost every item eaten at an event but the quality of sandwiches, cakes and scones meant that plates of food were cleared by guests as soon as they were brought out. Feedback from all guests was amazing. I now need to think of another event so that I can book them again! A very big thank you.

Popped in here for an hour on Tuesday afternoon.We weren't sure how many people would be coming but were made very welcome and it was no trouble to jiggle tables around to add more seats. In the end there were 10 of us. The lady took our drinks orders as we arrived and these were brought to us. The venue has lots of nice features, mix n match China (even a poster for a China hire service) and food gifts to buy. My friends slice of cake was huge . Although one currant bun was a bit overdone it was no problem to change it. I feel the only downside of the venue was the lavatory. Pokey , a broken loo seat and a selection of brollies! Not sure how the size of room could be improved .

Popped in for tea and cake. Very welcoming place. Cake was delicious and will return for lunch one day soon.

Having already hired Browns to cater for my daughters christening, my wife hired Browns of Bexley to provide a cheese tower at our wedding. The result was amazing and our guests have not stopped talking about it. I cannot recommend Browns of Bexley more highly, they are quite simply fantastic! (Apologies for the photo, it doesn't do it justice).

Popped into for a coffee before the school run. I also had a sneaky slice of Victoria sponge. The cake was lovely light and fluffy and not to sweet. I would recommend it to everyone. As usual I only remembered to take a pic when I finished.

Meet Friends here today , lovely tea room , food very good , coffee good and service was excellent . Would definitely recommend.

My husband and I visited Browns of Bexley today for their afternoon tea. Such a lovely treat! The setting was a quirky court yard full of vintage decor, with cute little china cups and saucers! Food was a wide variety of fresh, home made sandwiches, delicious cakes and of course, scones! Accompanied by pots of tea - plural! Geraldine and Lida are wonderful hostesses and made us feel like we were lunching at The Ritz! We'll be back!

I had Geraldine cater for my retirement party. It was excellent all of the guests commented on the quality of the food and the fantastic service. She went over and above in accommodating for the special dietary needs. Nothing was to much trouble.

I use this place every day and with good reason - the service is warm and friendly, the lunches are always to a high standard and the value is excellent. Highly recommended.

Had coffee and cake here and enjoyed the great service, food and drinksOther items for sale in the shop from local produceWell worth spending a quiet time in here to rest up along the main street

I have never left a review of a cafe/delicatessen before but I visited Brown's on Tuesday morning with my 3 year old son and received the best service ever! My fussy (but adorable) 3 year old wanted cereal with milk, which obviously wasn't on the menu, but the owner actually went out and bought him some weetabix! She then prepared him a little jug of warmed milk and gave him a free strawberry. She couldn't have been nicer and my son was very happy! My coffee and toast was delicious too! Please make sure you visit this wonderful place if you are ever in Old Bexley.

Took 3 friends for birthday cream tea. Good friendly service. Set tea enjoyed by all. Contents good choice. Star of the show, the scones, size, taste, cream and raspberry jam - always superior to any other flavour. Tea good and my coffee excellent.

Came across this deli when they catered at an event I attended. I was highly impressed by the food and the service. I have now visited their home base in Bexley village and continue to be impressed by their food and service. If you fancy a tea and a cake, lunch or a special treat, cream teas look delicious then this is the place to go. Or need a party catering for.

After recently moving to the area my friend and I decided to try our local cafe. The staff were so welcoming from the moment we walked in and showed genuine interest in taking the time to talk to us. Our lunch was lovely including our hot drinks. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing by. They also have many other products for sale to browse and buy.

We ate here yesterday for a quick lunch before completing section 2 of the London LOOP walk (Bexley to Petts Wood). We had soup, a jacket potato and coffees. Everything was lovely and perfect for warming us up on a rainy Saturday! Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice lunch in Bexley. They also had cakes and other sweet treats so looks good for afternoon tea too.

Browns provided the buffet for a party of 100 people on Saturday and the food, service and presentation was excellent. I received nothing but positive feedback all evening for the quality of the buffet and will definitely use Browns again to cater for a function. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they provided many suggestions of what should be included. I have used Browns regularly this year to buy from their deli and I have always been impressed with the friendliness of the staff and quality of their service. It is an excellent shop, well worth supporting.

I visited Browns for lunch as my daughter had a wedding dress fitting across the road. The staff were wonderful, couldn't do enough to accommodate us. We had my mother in a wheel chair. Nothing was top much trouble. Our lunch was delicious. We had a selection of cold meats fresh olives and lovely large portions of salads. The cakes are homemade and truly delicious. Even down yo the coffee one of the best I've had. Will defiantly be going back. I even ended up buying some chutneys for home. Well done Geraldine and the gang.

Why don't browns of bexley display the food standard agency rating. I'd rather visit Hamers across the road where they display a top score of five out of five. Good food and a spotless kitchen.

I popped in for a coffee while visiting my daughter for a couple of weeks. The coffee was gorgeous and i love the shabby chic appearance. The staff were efficient and welcoming - I will definitely be going back. The latte came with a piece of homemade shortbread which was divine!

I've been to Browns a few times and I must say the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is good but the coffee wasn't great at all. The homemade cakes were wonderful however. I do recommend coming here for lunch or for a cake but I don't think that it perhaps deserves a 5star rating.

Went for a lunch on a Saturday. Lovely food and welcome from owner and staff. The courtyard was lovely to sit in and picked up some bits on the way out from Kent Chilli Farm.

We went to Brown's of Bexley for some brunch, lovely little building with a great pair of owners! Made to feel really welcomed and would definitely go back. Fantastic selection of cakes!

Just had a lovely afternoon - arranged to meet here with family members as a convenient stop off. Friendly and hospitable, accommodating to children and delicious food. (Gluten free option is always a bonus!) A truely perfect and wonderful afternoon. Thank you. We will be back! x

I came to Bexley to go to Hall Place and passed this cafe on the way and decided to give it a go on my return as opposed to having lunch at Hall Place as it looked lovely from the outside.I ordered a salt beef panini and a flat white coffee with water. The panini was fine with a reasonable amount of salt beef and a slice of gherkin and served with a nice fresh salad but the portion was rather small for the cost (£4.60).The coffee was ok as a white coffee but was nothing like a flat white should be so I was disappointed in this. Also I never received the water I asked for.The atmosphere is friendly however I had to move chairs initially to avoid one of the waitresses talking across me to a regular customer only to have the other waitress come and stand over me chatting away for most of the time I was eating my lunch which made me feel uncomfortable.I would like to have given this place 4 or 5 stars but could not based on my experience today - sorry.

I had there salad boxes recommended to me and as I'm on a diet so I decided to try them out. The salad options were great with plenty of different flavours and textures. I had a turkey salad which was carved from a joint of which there was severel different kinds ( I'm going to try the salt beef next) and all this for under a fiver . Staff were lovely and the decor was great. If you looking to eat some where that the people making the food really care about what there serving then this is the place for you!

I have two meals in this restaurant and both were really lovely I had Jacket Potatoe with cheese and coleslaw and on another occasion I had I had a Pasta the Husband and wife who run the restaurant I really nice The husband is a very good chef ,the nice thing about this restaurant is it has a Deli section selling Homemade Jam wonderful cheese and ready to go Food to cook At home such as stuffed chicken . They also sell very modern crockery the atmosphere is very cosmopolitan which fits perfectly into Old Bexley

A lovely little shop / deli /tea room great sandwiches and yummy cakes also a great variety of cheeses and pickles etc to take home

Highly recommended, esp. the coffee cake with chocolate brownie bits on top - only had it once as it was always sold out on my other visits! Interesting to look around items of food and crockery for sale, enjoyable visit.

Lovely friendly atmosphere, Geraldine makes you feel right at home! Went here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, had the mix meze and scotch egg - gorgeous! Fantastic food and such a variety. Great choice of tasty homemade produce for you to buy too! Would highly recommend!

Had cake and coffee on a weekday with Mummy friends and one year old babies. Really yummy home made cake, friendly helpful staff, baby friendly even bought out some toys and books for them. No room for prams though so carry baby from the car park round the back.

A lovely restaurant / Deli with fantastic management. Geraldine and Lida make your visit as interesting as the food is. They also supply a great buffet for outside catering. Nothing is too much trouble.

I've met friends here for coffee and lunch. Great little gem of a place, lovely welcoming atmosphere and staff discreet but attentive.

Wonderful variety of luxury and every day goods! Great staff !Good takeaway food or sit in and have a cuppa and a scone!!Really excellent!,,

Fantastic food, great services perfect atmosphere and deffinetley worth a visit or two or three.......Would highly recommend the chocolate Brownie !

Geraldine and Lida provided a buffet for 70 guests for my daughter's surprise 30th birthday party on Saturday evening.Everyone commented on the selection of finger food with it's great taste and presentation.The cupcakes were brilliant and the cake delicious.I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family.Thanks again, 5*

Have used Brown's several times for lunch and take aways. The food is very good, the service is always with a smile and great value. Mrs Brown is always very helpful and willing to serve whatever your request maybe, even if it's not in the menu. Highly Recommend.

Lovely stop for lunch, i had a platter with cheeses and hams, bread and coleslaw all very nice and fresh well prepared and above all tasty.good coffee and drink selection with lots to buy from the range of posh jams and foods etcwell recommended for a lunch and will be back without questionlovely little cafe

Have heard so much about Browns of Bexley just had to call in whilst visiting from the Isle of Wight was not disappointed, lovely warm welcome from Geraldine and Lida the service and food excellent (can recommend the chocolate brownie) look forward to returning next time for another delicious slice of cake and coffee.

Can't say enough about this lovely tea shop and delicatessen's. Great food great staff and the best place in Bexley to relax and have yummy cakes and tea.

If you haven't already tried this amazing place then you must. As my heading reads yum yum yum. Well done G and your team A+++

I came here with friends after driving past it for months and wondering what it looked like inside. There are 4 or 5 small tables so book in advance if you want to be guaranteed a table. I order the meat platter which I'm glad I did but the sandwich menu looked great to. On my platter I two different types of meat, two different types of cheese, pasta, chilli jam and crusty bread. It was all delicious and felt like I needed to be rolled out. Would go back again and again

This very small business houses a well stocked and tempting delicatessen, with a small café facility incorporated. Seems too small for meal service, from outside, but has a courtyard extension at the rear and offers a very friendly welcome.

Had a wonderful lunch here, asked Geraldine to surprise me and she did so, with a platter of cheese and meats, plentiful and diverse. My friend had a lovely caramelised onion and cheddar baguette, four drinks later and the bill was unbelievably low. definitely going back here.

Browns will also cater for your parties! We had a BBQ for 60 guests at the weekend and we ordered the salads and lots of other side dishes from Geraldine. They were enormous, beautifully presented and simply delicious. Everyone commented on how fabulous the food was. In addition, the food was delivered to the house with a smile and a wave and not only that, everything is so reasonably priced too!. In short, Browns deserves it's success.

Had a lovely lunch of home made Feta cheese and Chilli jam tart with salad and coleslaw, my companions had sandwiches followed by coffee and lime cake (again home made) which was delicious. The staff are extremely helpful and take great care over service - even asking me how I would like my flat white coffee to be made. Browns also has a small deli counter with some good cheeses and lots of lovely things for a tasty supper.

I have been wanting to try out Browns of Bexley for ages and had the perfect opportunity to have lunch while my car was being fixed across the road.Lovely welcoming and friendly atmosphere in this deli. The service was so refreshing, things were suggested to me the I haven't tried before and they did not disappoint. So my new favourite sandwich is now salt beef and sweet chilli sauce - delicious! Thank you ladies xx

Popped in for a a quick sandwich, but was tempted by an exceptional takeaway salad (I chose Turkey, but various cold meats, cheese and some delicious looking tartlets all available). Bulgar Wheat, couscous, Greek salad, coleslaw - it had a bit of everything!Service was exceptional and very friendly, and my lunch was fab. I'll be back!Dan of Bexley

My boyfriend and I have been here a few times in the past month and the service and produce is excellent. We popped in today for takeout sandwiches and they were so fresh, tasty and very reasonably priced for the high quality. I love the ham and cheeses so much that we sometimes pop in to take them home for a weekend continental style breakfast, delicious! I'm looking forward to trying some of the different pastas and I will have to try the chilli jam that everyone is raving about! Thank you for the great food and service!

If you visit Bexley Village, you must not miss this authentic 'Browns of Bexley' cafe deli.A warm, buzzing welcoming ambience; coupled with the freshest food of your choice. Gorgeous home baked cakes with crusty French bread and fine cheeses and meats. After half an hour in this setting I felt I had been transformed to France - surrounded by unpredictable stocks to intice the senses. The fresh flowers on the tables and fine English china that tea is served from as well as the economical price means this is a place I am certain to return to with my children. The previous customers exited stating how delicious the food was too. Not just a shop, but an enjoyable experience.

I came in here with my friend for a quick bite before my 25th birthday party. I live locally, only a few doors away and thought I would give it a try. The atmosphere was very welcoming, me and my friend didn't know if we had to go to the counter or sit down, but the friendly gentleman guided us. I must admit, I was geniuley impressed with the menu, just because it was diverse and classy! I had a Parma ham and Brie baguette with a home made coleslaw on the side, with a raspberry lemonade to wash it down. Please trust me when I say that this tasted AMAZING! They gave us side salad and also chilli jam. Me and my friend were fighting over the chilli jam haha! I also had bananna cake with a side of clotted cream. I felt spoilt rotten! Very impressed. The prices were good, the service was exceptional. I would definetley recommend and I will be coming back here as frequent as I can!

Really friendly staff and enjoyed their homemade feta and tomato tarts, delicious! The shop is packed to the rafters with an array of unusual foods. A joy to visit and find that something a bit different.

Cracking little deli in the heart of the village, selling a fantastic range of products. I can guarantee that you will walk in and buy something that you never knew you needed! The deli has a great range of cheeses and cooked meats with some more unusual products from UK producers too. The Red Devil cheese is a must try for those that like a bit of heat in their cheese and as for the Black Bomber - you have just got to try it! It’s great to see a village shop stocking a fantastic range of UK produce. The exceptional service you will receive also matches the quality of the product they sell.If that wasn’t enough to make you want to visit you can also grab a mean cup of coffee and a sandwich and while away the time at the seating area at the front of the shop or browse the shelves and chillers looking for you next artisan purchase! If you are fed up with buying the same old products in the same old supermarket and are looking for something just a little bit different you have got to visit this little gem of a shop.

What makes this deli so special is the wonderful service. The two female owners are extremely friendly (with a great sense of humour) and have good knowledge of the local area. The sandwiches are fantastic and you have to visit for a lunch - the platters are brilliant (especially the fusion of local meat and cheese with homemade coleslaw). They also stock lots of good local produce, including Kent chilli farm products which have to be recommended. Visit this deli for a real flavour of Bexley!

Bexley Village has seen a lot of shops come and go over the last few years. I have always admired boutique shops that really make it in small villages and I was really excited when a couple of "deli-style" shops opened. I made sure that I spent some time in them, but both ended up being fairly uninspiring. Browns of Bexley is now achieving what every other modern Deli aspires to, after only a few months of being open.They sell what you would expect from a deli i.e. meats, cheeses, olives and does excellent coffee too. What is so impressive the the choice of other deli goods. It must be difficult to select products for a shop that could effectively sell any foodstuffs they want. Browns has selected some of the most innovative products available, rather than cram shelves with overpriced supermarket products.The prepared food is also excellent. The owner makes all sorts of baked goods each day and sells them for really reasonable prices. They are just wonderful. There is a little seating area at the front to relax in and enjoy the products on offer.
