Cheeky little pub that shouldn't be overlooked. Had a very nice chicken roast. Bit stingy on the veg (had to share some very small pots of veg between us). But plenty of roasties and a Yorkshire pudding. Really tasty. Great service too. Recommended.

We had an excellent dinner at The Cricketers on a busy Saturday before Christmas, there was a really lovely, cosy and festive atmosphere with super friendly staff. The service was exceptional considering how busy they were , and probably the best fish and chips we've had in a long time. Generous portions and very reasonably priced, The Cricketers is now our go to local in Orpington. Highly recommended.

Great beer. Friendly staff who, when they get to know you, have your next round lined up in advance of your order. Good lunch food too. Dog friendly, large garden, quiet road.

Great pub with excellent well kept real ale. Started using this pub with another retired mate of mine about a month ago. What a fantastic find. We 'attempt' the Friday crossword over a couple of beers. Great staff and good pub atmosphere. Ten out of ten, highly recommend

This pub has definitely improved. Great indoor and outdoor space, with lots of seating, plenty of choices for drinks. The food is fine - definitely not bad but this is not a gastro pub, but reasonably priced standard pub grub. Lord of choices for kids. Very near Orpington high street and by a nice little green, great local spot.

Great little 'local' pub, by which I mean it has all the positives of a community pub but it welcoming to everyone. Good selection of drinks all served with a definite smile and a warm welcome and at reasonable prices. Sunday Roast is absolutely exceptional, delicious and big portions. Staff and customers always seem happy to be there.

Nice cozy back street pub with friendly staff. Nice selection of largers/ales, wines and spirits. Food is pretty good but could be a bit more inspiring as alot of competitin with modern day pubs now. Chislehurst pubs are better! Back garden will be good for the summer but could do with modernisation. Toilets are lovely and clean and modern.

We recently visited the Cricketers for Sunday lunch for a family birthday. The pub is warm, welcoming and the staff were very friendly. We all had roast dinners but with different meat choices and everyone really enjoyed their food. The deserts were very nice too. We didn’t have to wait long for our food which was great as we had a baby, young children and a dog with us. The drink selection was really good and can recommend the Pinot Noir! We will return again soon.

This little gem was an amazing find Hosted a Baby Shower here on Saturday and cannot express how accommodating The staff were. Dan was very flexible and encouraged us to decorate, provide a playlist that he played through the function room sound system, he allowed us to go in early before the booking to decorate too. There is plenty room for a sit down occasion or a full disco/dj party. A back door leads out to the garden and a separate area too. The room has plenty of sockets and a bar, buffet food is an option too. Had an amazing time and everyone complimented on the venue and how quaint, country-feel yet quirky it was. Perfect, Thank you !

Very very friendly stuff and nice atmosphere. And it was great that they have proper cutlery , including a baby size sauce jar for children. Clearly they have put lots thoughts into making the place family friendly. However, the food is unfortunately not great and price is high for what you get. The lamb for my roast meal is cold when served, the roasted vegetables are not crispy. The dessert is overcooked and dry which I couldn’t finish. You can get much better and quality meal for similar price in a couple of other restaurants on the high street. Such a shame as the staff are wonderful but the food is a let down.

Been twice now, and will be going again, but u guys seriously got to sort the menu out. No vegetarian or fish options apart from quorn or fish n chips. We was sat in the ‘dining area’ and all I could hear was a very loud radio and the constant noise of the door to the kitchen being opened, it was like being in a greasy spoon, not the ambience u want when u go out for a nice meal. I get u guys are new to this, but u need to iron out these problems or risk losing regular customers. I now phone ahead to see what u have on the menu, and I will avoid sitting to the rear bar so as not to listen to the constant noise of the door to the kitchen being opened and loud radio. Twice now we have ended going to an alternative venues because of these issues. May not sound much, but looking at the comments, I’m not alone. Also the high chair/tables are not good for diners. I spoke to a family who also said the same thing who were sat to the rear where there is normal sized furniture, but also the noises mentioned above. On a positive note. This is the best pub in the Orpington area. You guys have done an excellent refurbishment of the Cricketers, and we definitely be going to this fine pub on a regular basis, albeit when u have sorted the menu.

This pub is situated a short walk from Orpington High Street on a quite residential street and was established in the mid to late 1800's. It has character, the owner/staff are very friendly. A decent selection of Ales and live sporting events are shown on a decent sized screen. Sadly no food served.

Waiting for food was long for no obvious reason, took them around 30 mins. Not to mention I had to ask them for an update when we were 25 mins through, with a little kid! They also forgot about my cocktail which should've been brought to me with a glass of wine for my partner. I didn't ask at that moment and waited 10 min more until I had to remind them about the ordered drink... I remember very well repeating my order to the waitress at least twice! (she didn't even confidently bother to write it down). On top of that they didn't bring my well ordered starter until I had to request it when I had the long awaited main dish (30 mins as mentioned earlier). Eventually, only one waitress was helpful and it was her second day at this restaurant... She didn't know some menu details yet but she was always happy to help and was surprised why our wait was so long... The original waitress never came back to us. No one even bothered to ask if the food was ok, etc. Awful service.

1st time I’ve been to The Village Fish & Chips this evening. Ordered standard cod, chips & mushy peas and have to say I’m impressed! Absolutely delicious & generously portioned fillet of cod with large white flakey chunks in light crispy batter, chips golden brown & crisp with a light fluffy centre. Just the way they should be! All cooked fresh and piping hot! Ok it’s pricey, a whopping £17 for large cod chips & peas but these guys know how to do it right! Top marks to the village! Very happy customer and will return very soon!

Ordered god knows how many times on Deliveroo as the food is always yummy. The last few times the quality is very poor, chips seem to be fried to every inch of their life and stone cold, the chicken kebab was cold and very salty too and the salad was swimming in water! Won't order again!!!!
