Hired the “private” function room for an event at the weekend. Paid £299, for a buffet for 20 head, food was great but no where near enough for 20 people and poor selection, compared to when I used the venue 3 years old. I had people with dogs and prams walks through my private function, even the manager standing over the buffer food on his phone talking loudly. Girls behind the bar were great! Food not what I expected at all, I spend the week on the build to the event calling me the pub as I had no heard anything from there since my booking made 4 months ago, food was served by paper plates, and wasn’t provided a bin to clear these away when finished. From the photo attached I wouldn’t not recommend this amount of food for £299 for 20 people. Will not be booking again.

Too busy booked a table 2weeks in advance I think it was overbooked, we had our meal was about to order a drink only to be told we had to vacate our table and find somewhere else to sit, there wasn’t a single space for us anywhere. So we all left. Should have been told there was a time limit then we wouldn’t have gone there

A real shame. The food is horrifically bad, the curry which was a recommendation from the staff was not good at all - under seasoned, overcooked tasteless. The rice was horrible. I honestly ate some of it because after a long walk I was hungry - else it would have been sent back. The kids burger was shocking - a piece of cardboard would have tested nicer. It’s a real shame as the staff is lovely, the pub is beautiful and it could be a great lunch spot if only the chef could cook something decent. How much does it take to making it right really? Anyhow - we will go back for drinks but food - no thank you!

Have been using this pub on and off for many years but on a visit this week not sure that we will bother with it again. The hospitality industry needs all the help it can get right now but HOSPITALITY is a word which does not seem to appear in this landlord's vocabulary. This pub has a lot going for it, good location, good food at reasonable prices, the pub itself is well maintained and nicely presented so why oh why does Simon, the landlord have to be so miserable and inhospitable ? He walks around with a gloomy face, never smiles. We were the only four people in the bar it would not have hurt him to smile and say "good evening" but no he just slouched around with a very long face avoiding even eye contact. So very different from when his parents were in charge, they were the perfect hosts, always with a ready smile and a warm welcome. Simon has inherited none of their hospitable ways. The young man serving behind the bar was great, efficient with a very warm and friendly manner. Simon p!ease take note, buck your ideas up, the public provide you with a comfortable lifestyle about time you gave them something in return.

I held my husband's wake here. I really can't thank Bob and the staff enough. Bob went out of his way to make it the best it could be. They even poured a last pint of real ale for my husband and placed it next to his photo. A really thoughtful touch. I forgot to tell them that my sister had a fish allergy so they made her a separate meal which she said was amazing. Everyone said how lovely the food was. I really can't express my gratitude enough to these wonderful people. I know for certain if I need to hire a venue again foe any occasion this is where it will be.

We used to love this pub but unfortunately our afternoon stop was completely spoilt. The service and beer are great but when we sat down in a relatively quiet saloon bar there was a group of men whose every other word was f@*#&NG in very loud voices. The bar staff could obviously hear this but nothing was said. They are obviously regulars. Will certainly never visit again. If you are thinking of going with your wives or daughters Don't.

Had a lovely evening at the Sydney Arms. Mid week, and relatively quiet. Not many diners. We opted for a Nachos starter and we both had burgers for our main course. The nachos dish is huge! Definitely a sharer started or you could have it for your main meal. The burgers are tasty and the chips are To die for! Proper gourmet chips. The service was good. The staff are helpful and not over attentive (I personally don’t like a fuss). The food is plentiful and I came out quick - but again it wasn’t that busy. An overall enjoyable evening

Oh my goodness, what has happened to this fish bar?? Used to go there every Friday before I moved away from Biggin Hill, but what a shock I had last Friday getting fish & chips for my elderly mother. Slow service with miserable faces, very dirty uniforms being worn by the staff, hair not tied back fully on one of the girls serving. Also, a very young boy helping behind the counter, which surely must be a Health & Safety concern with all the boiling fat!!! Safe to say, I won't be returning to Salisbury's Fish Bar, Main Road, Biggin Hill again :0(

This place has the potential to be a nice pub but based on my personal experience, we will sadly not be returning. It was a sunny afternoon and we decided to come to Downe Village for a nice pub lunch. I noticed there were people eating inside and nobody was seated outside. With it being a sunny day, we thought nothing of it and decided to sit in the beer garden. Within minutes of our food arriving, a black fluffy cat jumped onto the table, stuck it's bum in my face and started eating my food! I tried to shoo it off but it wouldn't budge and I'm allergic to cats. When I went inside to tell a member of staff, her response was "it lives in the garden. Just shoo it away." But it never went away so I went back inside again to tell them and it took her forever to do anything about it. By the time she came out, the cat had eaten half of my food. I appreciate there's not a lot they can do but atleast come out and pick up the cat and take it elsewhere if a paying customer complains they're allergic! Not only that, when I got home, I checked my card statement and noticed they had taken 10% service charge which wasn't shown on the receipt (only food and drinks.) I think that's rather cheeky considering there was no table service - we brought our own food, drinks, cutlery and condiments to the garden table and afterwards I even took the dirty dishes back with the cat's leftovers. A very disappointing visit.
