The Orchard in Lewisham

Whoever designed the internals of the Orchard knows how to design an indoor space and experience. The music is exactly the right volume and it doesn’t echo off the walls or anything. I know this is weirdly specific but I love being in spaces where I can simultaneously enjoy some background music and also actually hear what my friends are saying without them having to raise their voice. I always have great chats here :)Also the food is great and the selection of alcohol free (or very low alcohol) beers is great. And the selection of boozy ones too, of courseGet the aubergine samosa.

Beautiful Sunday roast and steak. The desserts are to die for. Will be back

We come here regularly and we've never been disappointed. Even when busy, the food and service is always exceptional! Highly recommend!

Not particularly busy but service was slow. Chuck steak burger not worth it. My friends enjoyed their food, so maybe unlucky.

Have been here for brunch a few times. Annoying that you can’t book online as they do get busy! Feels like a miss as they do get very busy. Otherwise the food has always been of high quality and the service good.

All very nice people, but clearly vegan food is an inconvenience to the chef. It's 2021, not the 90's. We don't play the substitution game anymore. Sorry.

This was my first time at this restaurant. I found it as I've waked pass many times and this evening I decided to have a meal there and treat myself. It was a real treat the meal was excellent in my opinion. I had steak which was very well seasoned and very tender. A glass of malbac helped to lubricant and enhanced the steak. Dessert was the ginger pudding with sauce. The ginger was strong just the way I like it and it was almost for me the best part of the meal. The other people in the restaurant seamed to be enjoying there time and meals to, some more than louder than others. A really mixed range of ages and the layout of the restaurant was very laid back with staff that seamed really efficient and not intrusive. Found out later when I got home its also a favorite place of my stepson and his fiancé. Will visit again maybe as a family.

Lovely Local Boozer. Family friendly, reasonable prices, fresh cooked food, great beer, awesome staff + WiFi for those wanting to do a bit of work.

Really friendly and helpful staff, who genuinely know their own restaurant and the food. What a relief that it.. And the food is truly exceptional. Our main courses (one vegetarian and one fish) we're some of the best we've eaten in a restaurant. None of the courses disappointed and the cocktails were excellent too. Highly recommended!

Just off the main road this bar has a quirky and somewhat homely feel with a variety of spaces and an open-air feel with full width french doors.Seating includes Moroccan style benches, sofas, pub tables and then more restaurant like table dining behind the library/aquarium divider.The kitchen is open and directly behind the bar in the back left corner. It can be a little unclear where to order but the staff are all really friendly and welcoming.Food is gastro-pub burger + fancy vegetarian with hand cut chips feeling like they were hewn from a baked potato.Overall a good place for meeting friends and perhaps a date.
