The Sydney Arms in Bromley

Popped in here after a walk around Scadbury nature reserve. We sat outside in the garden and had a toastie sandwich and bowl of chips, all very delicious and served up very quick by friendly and welcoming staff. We will definatly be going back.

Never been here before. Book for Sunday lunch and I will be back. Great pub good food and welcoming atmosphere and staff. Well done Great job. 👍👍👍

Eaten many times in the restaurant, food always delicious. Good range of drinks and staff lovely. It’s a lovely pub and restaurant

Nice friendly local Only had desert but was lovely

Was there for a wake, so not a usual pub visit. Had buffet food

Wanted to book for 12 people for lunch on Monday 15th July at 2.15 and was told kitchen shut at 2.30, so we booked elsewhere, they obviously didn’t need the trade

Yet again another excellent visit! The bar staff are so polite and friendly. The food has always been exceptional . Can’t wait to go back soon.

Great place to eat and socialise

Love this pub.Only popped in for a quick beer.It is always a very nice place too have a meal tooo

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.

A lovely 2-course lunch after a dog walk around Scadbury.

Thank you for the lovely lunch 👍🍷

very impressive great food and service with a smile

Unfortunately it is frequented by too many obnoxious slaphead gammons together with their mouthy slags.

What a delightful place. The ambience was great, excellent food and lovely staff. Highly recommended

A great location, nice atmosphere and staff very welcoming and friendly. Very varied menu, huge portions and lovely food. All freshly cooked. Will definitely be back

We popped here for a few drinks with friends one Sunday. It’s a lonely local pub in chislehurst, we had a few beers in the garden which tasted great. The prices weren’t bad too

Lovely local pub. The first time I've been in here. Lovely food, great service, nice atmosphere 👌

Absolutely outstanding! We were celebrating a very big birthday and the food and service couldn’t have been better! So friendly and nothing was too much trouble! Thank you so much for a wonderful day 😍

Lovely food, friendly, smiley, happy service. The lamb was beautiful, and very happy to have a Yorkshire pud included with the roast lamb. Sticky toffee pudding was lovely as well, not too sweet, or OTT. Definitely recommend.

We had a wake for our mum here recently in the function room. The food was excellent and well presented, everyone was commenting how good it was. The bar staff were fantastic and very helpful. I would definitely use this venue again, hopefully on a more happier occasion. Thank you chef and staff.

Thankyou for a very nice lunch. Excellent food served with good humor by the lovely ladys.. Many thanks. We will definitely return.

So we couldn’t of had any better venue for our baby shower , from start to Finnish ! The manger and staff helped every step. The food was fantastic and the function room was beautiful and large . So clean everywhere . Thank you sydney arms , we hope to see for our next function ! The codali family

We ran a charity quiz night at the pub. We were so well looked after. We were given the large conservatory and so kind not charge for the space. I did not have any food, but it did look nice.

be a few time for a quite drink and a chat and was able to in a nice atmosphere a few tvs placed around with various sports on them and still a nice atmosphere you can speak and not be trying to speak over music, TVs or others just a nice volume

6 people in our group, all meals came out together. Always a pleasant lunch

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!

Been there twice now and what an amazing place to go to and amazing food. My chicken wrap and chips was amazing. The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. If I was not driving today i would of stayed there longer for a pint of fosters than a pint of coke lol

Great food. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

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.

Food good, beer and wine good, service good. It was a bit quiet but then again it was Monday afternoon.

Love this pub, absolutely lovely, great atmosphere food is wonderful and staff are extremely friendly.

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.

Great pub nice restaurant friendly staff Good atmosphere 🍷🍷👍

This venue for the wake of my brother in law was excellent. The staff were lovely and the catering was excellent. Thankyou for making a difficult day that much easier.

Had a 60 birthday party here on 2 December in the conservatory area The room was decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. The party food was fantastic and very tasty. The staff especially the bar staff were friendly and brilliant. Very reasonably priced. We had the best night ever and would highly recommend this pub for any function. Everybody who attended the party said they would definitely hire for any special occasion

Loved the pub, food and service. So close to the wood walks. Good array of food and drink options to choose from.

We had a party here, the pub provided decent food and plenty of it, including vegan options. The service at the bar was attentive and friendly and they had a vegan red wine too.

Great venue. Food and drink a little more expensive than some other pubs in the area but overall if the weather is good it's a lovely place to sit out in the beer garden

Great food and beer selection. Lovely beer garden at the back. Child friendly. Food was very good quality and well priced. Sports on several televisions. Bar area for those just having a drink.

Great place, with great people! Highly recommended.

Nice day, sat in the garden, a couple of beers, and a well presented burger and chips. Just good, simple food done well and served with a smile.

An enjoyable afternoon with family.

Lovely pub though very quiet for a Fri night but it was nice to be able to talk without having to shout which was a bonus. Great food and lovely staff. Will definitely go back.

Went today for a coffee with two friends and my children and the lady who serves us so unfriendly and rude. I asked for caramel latte and was telling us we don’t serve fancy coffee here and only have normal milk, she then turn around laughing with other colleagues. I felt so unwelcome. Im local to the area and first time visited this place and would not come back again.

Well what a nice find been living around this area many years and never come across this pub/ restaurant. What a lovely place. Really good food , I had ploughman’s best ever and two had the lamb shanks which were gorgeous, have to say to the staff were so friendly and helpful would definitely recommend this place. And will for sure be back 5 stars …..

Food good and generous portions. Friendly staff. Was very loud but it was a Saturday so fair enough.

Brilliant food great service surprisingly quiet on a Saturday night. Would recomend

Great pub but not very busy for a Saturday night

We went for Sunday Lunch on the off chance as we hadn't booked a table. But we were accomodated in the bar area and had a nice meal of roast beef and roast lamb. The portions were good and the food was served nice and hot. Not sure if the meat was freshly carved, but the Service was good and will book next time we visit.

Great pub.The Sunday dinners are fabulous.

What a fantastic place to eat & drink. We stopped there for lunch today. Very clean pub,excellent food great service & staff.

Wonderful pub hidden from view, a real gem of an establishment. I've been going here for 40 years, ever since I worked here as a potman, collecting glasses, filling the ice buckets and emptying the ashtrays. It has grown a lot since then. Now has a top notch chef delivering fantastic food. Well worth popping in.

Had a fathers day lunch with my daughters & granddaughter food was excellent service was good they done well as it was so busy will go again

Nice food and drink, good unpretentious but comfortable pub

Very friendly staff and really good food.

Great atmosphere - Very spacious. Staff are amazing, and very social (but still professional). We had a few bits to eat throughout an afternoon of drinks and laughs- good food.

Went there for a funeral 'wake'. I found it to be a really nice, welcoming pub in an attractive area. I was a driver on the day so I did not drink but the service and food was excellent

Amazing pub - you can tell the difference when the food is cooked with care and attention. The seafood board that we ordered was delicious and fresh. Definitely will revisit the pub when we are back to the area

Had a great early 70th birthday meal with 15 family and friends. Lovely food , plenty of it at reasonable prices.Many Thanks to all the staff. Will definitely be going back soon.

Went here for a wake and it was a great place the staff were awesome and the service fantastic 👍

Excellent large pub in Chislehurst. Good beer and great food (pub food). It has an interesting history as is named after Lord Sydney who founded Sydney in Australia. Or Sydney was named after him. His estate was there in Chislehurst .

The chilli con carne was fantastic, full of flavour! A nice place to go for a drink and a lovely meal.

Ok but wouldn't turn TV over to watch rugby

Lively pub, friendly staff and good service, however, the burger was a store-bought microwaved one. Similarly, the pie also looked store-bought. Disappointing.

Had a nice roast dinner with 5 friends would have preferred to have been seated in the conservatory and nit in middle of the bar but was nice...staff very helpful and pleasant

Held a family party in conservatory yesterday. Buffet was excellent , imaginative and with plenty for the numbers ordered. Staff were helpful and efficient from booking till the end.

Held private party in conservatory yesterday - excellent buffet and really good staff service. Couldn’t have been more pleased .

It's the best pub in the south east

Great atmosphere and service, lovely old building

Lovely lunch on satuarday afternoon. Quite bizy service was quite slow . Food was beautiful me and friend shared a plougmans we asked for extra bread and this was happily deliverd with no extra charge ,my mum had a chicken wrap witch she totally enjoyed . My friend had ham egg and chips she said it was the best eggs shes ever had perfectly cooked . Bottle of riojca wasnt the best but on the whole a lovely satuarday lunch in chistlehurst . Highly reccomend xx

Beautiful traditional pub in Chislehurst. Good range of beers and spirits, delicious food and friendly staff. Busy even at lunchtime Wednesday says it all

Nice local pub, always welcoming atmosphere. Good food, drink, plenty of parking and walks nearby.

Doombar and Pride. Ideal if you are going to The Beaverwood. Restaurant food side looks good.

Enjoyed a nice pub lunch of liver bacon mash & onions & a nice punt of doombar to wash it down after a nice walk through Scadbury nature reserve. Very friendly & helpful bar staff. There is also a nice beer garden here which we've used in warmer weather 👍

An excellent Sunday lunch.. Nice atmosphere relaxing.

If you are in Chelsea, this is the place to go for some drinks and some delicious food. Check out the boards for their daily specials. The staff is great and friendly.

Always reliable with pleasant manager and staff.

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.

Nice ambience especially after a good walk in the park

Excellent food. Excellent service. My brother has parkinsons and waitress was very friendly and helpful. Thankyou.

Efficient and friendly. Value for money. A wide choice of food and drink

Busy pub and restaurant, tucked away from the main road and away from Chistlehurst High Street. Lots of blokes having a lunchtime and afternoon pint, plus lots of friends and families having Sunday lunch. Nice spacious garden seating area. Sunday roast was delicious. Friendly staff.

Really nice pub, good food and service. The conservatory is lovely, lit with fairy lights giving a nice finishing touch. I felt very comfortable in the surroundings and would definitely go there again.

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

The food was by far the worst I have ever had and it was expensive! Service was also very poor. I would avoid at all costs!!

Food looked very good but not had it myself so can't commit. Beer ok price OK nice place &staff friendly.

Food always lovely and staff are very friendly. Lovely pub

Quirky pub impressive lunch menu your wraps very tasty and havent seen menu of drink on your wall before quite spaced out actually handy to know what I'm getting very cosy and most importantly definitely coming back even for a quicky pint .......

Lovely beer garden. Good food and service at a fair price.

We had a big family party and used the main function room. The staff were all lovely and very helpful. We ordered off the regular food menu - great quality and portion sizes. The venue was perfect. We all had a great day! Highly recommend 👍

Good food and drink prices, great service and nice outside area

Brilliant pub, friendly staff and reasonably priced

Just popped in for a drink. Very good. nice garden, good staff.

Great pub, friendly staff, two large bars and conservatory. Good food menu reasonably priced.

A really nice friendly old style local pub, with great choice of beers and wines. Great staff who like to have a laugh with the customers. The restaurant serves really good food

My Youngest Daughter has recently moved close to the pub and decided to book a Sunday lunch as a belated Fathers day celebration . The six of us were treated to a Service and welcome which was exceptional . The food and drink orders were taken promptly. The food was of good quality and generous portions. We will return and highly recommend . Thank you to all the Staff for their hard work and enthusiasm , see you again soon . Kindest regards Steve

Old style pub with great atmosphere and regulars

Lovely food , friendly people will defo be back
