Just had an amazing lunch and a few pints. The food was superb the staff very friendly and welcoming. Thankyou!

Great food. Great service from Dolls. And fantastic to see Marc back.

Very good service , great to see Mark back , dolls in there behind the bar is amazing bring pints to the table , can recommend 100 percent 💯

Staff were outstanding especially dols and Mark couldn't ask for a more pleasant and helpful duo

Ordered food & waited over an hour, when it arrived the burgers were very dry & overcooked & not nice. Several kids running around screaming which made it hard to relax & have a conversation, ended up leaving early because of this.

A proper pub, with excellent staff

I visited The Buff last night for the first time - and what can I say?! This is definitely somewhere that you should visit if you’re looking for a nice night out. It’s busy, friendly, reasonably priced. The music is great, the food is AMAZING but the best thing by far is the exceptionally high level of customer service from every single member of staff I came across at this pub. I cannot fault a single thing from my time here & can’t wait to come back!! Huge thank you to Leanne for going above and beyond last night x

Food was amazing, and so were the drinks. I highly recommend the bbq chicken burger with the onion rings and a diet coke with rum. The bartenders and the waiting staff are very friendly and lots of fun to be around. Was there last Friday night, was able to play darts with my friends. The staff were able to help us with the darts. Overall lots of fun, had a great time, with good food and amazing drinks.

I came in today on my lunch break and had a cracking lunch at such good value. A super tasty Steak and Cheese Sandwich with chips and a pint for just £8.99. The bar made Kelly was brilliant she made my visit very enjoyable. I will be definitely be returning soon

Been going there for years, visited NOVEMBER 2023 after a break. It was empty, furniture made me leave after one drink, years of ground in dirt was repulsive 🤮 Bar staff weren’t very friendly 😒 manager gave the impression he was very inexperienced. The last manager always gave a warm welcome to every customer and she worked very hard to accommodate individual needs. It was always buzzing with a very friendly atmosphere. We had planned on having lunch and relaxing in our once friendly local pub. Sadly we won’t be returning, till they at least replaced the furniture and the manager understands his job isn’t to prop up the bar and chat with the bar staff. When you get customers in you earn more profit.

Myself and my husband visited on Sunday and I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection (I had the roast dinner and roast potatoes was as good as your own so v happy!). The bar staff was really friendly and a lovely atmosphere in the pub. Place was also spotless. Can’t wait to go back, taking the family next time. 10/10.

Absolutely lovely pub, great food, excellent service and a really friendly atmosphere- Sunday Roast was amazing!!! Would highly recommend for a proper pub experience with great staff and menu

My family and I have been using the pub more since the new manager. Nice pub nice food.

I hadn't been here for years and was pleasantly surprised with the food and the service. The bar staff are lovely and now me and my wife have become regulars again. Keep up the good work.

Popped in with my husband for a quick drink and after seeing the delicious menu decided to stay for a bite to eat too, which didn’t disappoint was Delicious. Staff were really friendly & service was great, will definatley be visiting again.

A home from home. I always feel very welcome here. The staff are friendly, polite, happy and eager to ensure every visit is enjoyable. The pub has a real local feel with a vast mix of customers all engaging with eachother - it's a true community pub. The food is great value and delicious, and I have always enjoyed my meals and have no complaints.

Came in last Friday and it was very busy. Nearly every table was full in the restaurant area and bar however Leanne kindly asked a table of 2 to slide across to another table so our table of 4 could be seated together. Kelly was extremely attentive and between them both they made sure the restaurant area was kept clean and tidy after every customer and that everyone was being looked after. Credit to them both for working well as a team on what was clearly a very busy evening.

food is amazing , all staff are lovely and very friendly. drinks all tasted good and overall an amazing pub !

Food is amazing! All the staff are attentive very friending and overall lovely.

My experience at the buff was superb. Food was really good and came very quickly. All the staff were really lovely and helpful. My friends ordered the three plates which was a fantastic deal and I loved the beef burger. Desserts were even better!

Lovely food, good atmosphere and nice friendly staff.

Have visited the pub a couple times and have no complaints! Great service, nice staff and a decent atmosphere! Will be back!

I celebrated my 50th birthday at the buff and hired a dj for the night. The manager Mark and his staff were friendly professional helpful and accommodating! I would highly recommend this pub for a warm welcoming atmosphere! I would like to go back to try the food and watch some sport!

Had a great time in the buff last week, food was delicious and served quickly too. Staff really friendly and I even bought my non verbal autistic son for lunch. Everyone was so accommodating and understanding of his needs. Went above and beyond for us. Lovely place highly recommend

What an absolutely brilliant afternoon, popped in on the off chance with my dad, brother and 3 year old daughter... Fantastic live music, food was great.. no waiting... Happy bar staff.. can't wait to go back x

I visited with my Mum on Christmas Day for dinner for the first time and I was impressed with the quality and speed of service and the food. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and I would recommend the Buff to anyone looking for a new location or change of scenery.

Couldn’t ask for a more helpful manager, he went above and beyond to make our Sunday lunch one of the best ever. He was attentive and accommodating and we are very grateful. We will be returning. Thank you to Marc and his team for a great family afternoon

Great atmosphere, friendly helpful staff good food and sport venue

Great atmosphere with live singing on a Sunday

Around 35 years ago, a gang of my mates used to go down there drinking. It’s when Frank used to own the pub He was a big Arsenal supporter with his son . Has changed so much I can see the photographs.

It's not as big as I remember, but nice beer and friendly staff

I felt very welcomed the manager was such a nice guy

What a turn around! I’ve seen so many old faces back in the pub. These people vowed never to return…Mark whom i’ve know since he ran the Queens head locally is back in the area and has made a difference already in so little time. New staff behind the bar that actually want to serve you. Long it may continue

Great staff and atmosphere nothing is too much trouble. Can’t ask for any more from a local pub

We went into this pub as a family of 4 and all I can say what a warm welcome we received by a loverly young girl named Laura throughout our visit she went above and beyond to help with any issues we had (food) as an ex publican I know she will be an asset to any pub she works in and future her own place

Just heard there’s new management so came in to see what’s new. The new manager Mark seems to be turning the pub around again. Nice to see the staff smiling for once, Rachael was especially friendly and had me laughing the whole time.

Popped in on the way back from a hospital visit & my word the food was delicious place looked so pretty full of Christmas spirit Had mango chilli chicken tacos just so tasty & hubby had the blue cheese burger equally delicious well worth trying the chocolate mocha brownie with coconut ice cream. Spotless glasses & really friendly staff look forward to our next visit

I came in last night for the first time in a while and there's a whole new roster of staff! the 2 young girls behind the bar Lilv and Rachel were lovely and kept everyone entertained with their energy. They provided a fantastic service while the pub was a little bit chaotic. I saw another woman behind the bar when i came in who seemed nice but didn't catch her name as I didn't see her again while I was there.

Food was very nice. Very friendly staff.

Manager Marc is lovely and always friendly. Lillie, one of the bar staff is also lovely, quick service and always helpful!

Expect a Lovely warm welcome always! Nice cosy pub, excellent staff and fabulous manager!!

Came in for a few drinks and decided to eat, food was outstanding had the beef and ale pie and just wow I will be returning very soon

Popped in for a bite to eat and a drink great bit of grub and the service from Ollie and dolls was first class

We have not visited for a couple of years as the pub was going downhill on all aspect,cleanliness, staff, lot of bad language etc....I hear there's a new manager. Hope he get the place sorted.

Very friendly staff, great food, reasonable prices.

Popped in here for a pint. Pint of Old Speckled hen. Sorry only got IPA we don’t have Old Speckled hen or Abbot. Thought this was a greene king pub??? Had a pint of IPA, drinkable just. Did taste a bit on the soapy side. Not the crisp taste of Greene King IPA. Packet of pork scratching? Sorry run out of pork scratching. Well soapy beer no pork scratchings …… Atmosphere seemed good all watching and cheering football. As for staff wearing a cask craft t-shirt? What craft cask ale?

Had a lovely meal tonight, the best Hunters chicken I've had in a while ! Hot and tasty and arrived in good time. Friendly staff especially Rachel and Lily! Will definitely be returning!.

great service and food excellent very friendly and attentive staff.

Amazing staff and reasonable prices for booze and food...New staff..friendly and great changes ..new decor..its like having our local back again. Marc, his sons Ollie and Woody make a great team. Laura and Dolls friendly and want to please..Thank u GK

Attitude of some of the staff weren't that great. Food took ages to arrive.

Good food very busy service a little slow

Nice food for the price .Very nice girl serving dessert took a while to come but all in all very good value.

Good food and prices. Love the pies and kids loved their burgers.

We waited about 40mins for scampi and chips. When it arrived they were soggy and not crispy like they should be. We used to eat there all the time, we won't be going back again. Pity the food used to be good

Simply the Best Local Pub in Orpington. Food, Drinks, Sports, etc. Good Ambience, Spacious for Family and Kids, ample Parking space and friendly Staff..

Great beer selection, good food and atmosphere.

Average priced pints, decent location, usually great company but on this night my girlfriend and I had an arguement so struggle to give five stars. Didnt get to finish my blinking pint ! All good in the hood now though thanks for asking, cant wait to return !

Very nice food and definitely worth the visit. Have been here a few times now. Sometimes service can be slow but we'll worth the wait. Never been disappointed with the food so far. Will be back soon.

Nice pub, good location with plenty of parking and serving food all day!

My friend and I had an awful meal here yesterday. I had fish and chips and the fish was very overdone to the extent of being dark brown and dry. My friend had a pie which looked nice but the pastry was rock hard. Won't be going there again.

Always a friendly welcome, the staff are polite & helpful. The food is good, and for the price you can't knock it. Keep it up cheers......That was 6 years ago!!! ( just received a thanks for my review, as I've noticed others have?? Only 6 years late) not the same nowadays unfortunately.....furniture a bit tired looking, must have picked a bad night as 4 of 9 drinks ordered for my party had to be changed due to lack of stock available. Won't be rushing back unfortunately......shame as been in here loads of times, but not how it used to be.

Had a very enjoyable and relaxed first lunch of the year today. The food was delicious and felt very comfortable.

Solid food. Went there for a Christmas party and good service. Solid 💪🧡

Went to the buff for some lunch last week. I had a very nice signature fish and chips and my partner had the katsu curry. Both meals looked great and tasted even better. Compliments to the chef!!!

On Saturday I came in to experience the England football game, The staff there treated me all so amazing, the atmosphere was amazing too. The music kept me staying there till close. Kenzie for me stood out on that night worked extra hard and always kept a smile on her face even though it was very busy.

Came in Saturday had a great time staff assertive will fully will defo be back

The buff is a great place to come for all the family! I had my 18th birthday here where I was served by friendly staff such as Ben

Great little pub with great staff and nice food

Went into the buff Saturday afternoon. The place was very quiet and really cold. We was going to order food but decided against and went to a warm pub for our meal and drinks So different from how it was with previous management

Great place to watch footy and get a tasty plate of nachos and a pint. Friendly staff. Well kept local boozer.

Is this place under new management? Came here a month ago and it was great. Now it’s pretty awful. Service was absolutely terrible. Shame as it was a weekly visit for the family but might need to rethink that.

Salesman was drinking during work hours....he forgot that I paid for the drink....he made us to pay again....because of that we had a big fight.......worst pub I have ever gone in UK.. Please don't ever go ...poorly managed

Very untidy,plus no signs on the door to say the kitchen was closed on the door waited a good 10 mins before someone told us that,the kitchen was closed and may not be open adter that,had my disabled stepmother with me,will not be back

Lovely bar, hard working & friendly staff. A must visit!!

Staff veru helpful amd friendly. A nice little pub. Dog friendly.

Absolutely wonderful as staff made the experience lovely. They couldn't be more helpful and the food was excellent too!

Good food great value for money and fantastic staff

Pop in this evening for a bite to eat. As always the food was great and a special thank you to our very lovely server Tara! Very friendly lovely young lady

Decent pub, slightly let down by the slow service

Good food and value, excellent service with friendly staff.

Lovely clean pub. Food good staff helpful only thing to let it down was no working lock on the ladies toilet

Super staff and super food, very reasonable.

Staff not up to standards Meals ordered together all same meal were around 25 mins apart Just very un organized no cutlery or information that we needed to get it ourself and where..

Love this family pub. Always take care of me and my family and friends. Yummy food, spacious and sports saavy. Easy parking and good transportation links. Worth a visit.

Great deals on food, foods good, drinks reasonably cheap, entertainment and events, dart board, sports shown on tvs, small back garden, seated outside area out the front, dog and child friendly

Friendly atmosphere with great service. Food prices are reasonable. We went with the kid roast meal, cheese burger and 3 small plates. Squid could be a little bit crispier, burger could be grilled a bit less but in overall it was a good meal.

Really nice pub excellent food, staff are great and really friendly. Only real thing to say is try this pub won't be disappointed best in the area :)

Always great service & friendly & helpful staff & vets.

Had the steak on steak Thursday it was lovely 🥩 🍺👍🏼.

Good service and food, staff were all pleasant. We will visit again.

Nice meal, prompt service, reasonably priced, friendly staff 👌

The chief or the kitchen need to go not fit for my dog

Good pleasant service. Reasonable seniors menu.

Love stopping off here for pre drinks before a night out!! Very convenient with lots of public transport around and lovely choice of drinks to choose from!

Great place to grab a pint with pals & watch the football👍🏻

Great food and very friendly staff. Will make this a regular place for a bite to eat.

I went on Sunday with my family for a roast. It was absolutely amazing food and they've got such nice and friendly staff. Good selection of beers and some nice gins. We will come back soon, definitely.

The Buff was a great place to have couple of pints in the evening. Chief lady was great and kind person. With the new male manager the hospitality level came to zero.His only concern is to close the pub as soon as possible and run home. They stop selling drinks 15 minutes before closing and insist on leaving the pub immediately after closing time asking you to finish your drink as soon as possible. Same is with their garden. Even if you are smoking they will tell you to stop smoking immediately and leave the garden. This person has absolutely no knowledge about pub traditions in England. Now I know why I do not see regulars any more there.
