I had a lovely full English breakfast (the chestnut breakfast on menu). A very good serving for a full English breakfast. All parts were cooked perfectly. The service was quick and very polite. A nice chilled atmosphere and very clean. Nice addition some tables have a nice view onto the pond.

This place is the Best place in and around Chislehurst, Trust Me! 100% The Breakfasts are absolutely spot on!! I have recently tried their roast dinners on various different days and Oh My God! It is out of this world, I am not joking please Try it and see for yourselves. Sev and Ali are really nice people and they know how to look after their customers. This is a good Old Fashioned Cafe! Nothing Posh here!! Thank you so much and hopefully see you again soon. X Best Hus

The £8.99 Sunday lunch is to die for. Fantastic BIG roast, a cuppa, and dessert all for under a tenner. The roast lamb is deliciously cooked and they’re generous with their gravy. I normally get the smoothie alongside my meal to treat myself to a fruit or two. Small cafe but there’s an upstairs too which is a little quieter. I’ve only ever eaten the roast but every other diner’s food looks amazing too.
