We have been here a few times and went again on Sunday for a roast. Every time we go the food and drinks are really good and the service is super friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. We will be going again soon, keen to try wings Wednesday!

We recently had a reservation for a group of 22 people, and I must say, everything went incredibly well, just as we had hoped. I want to give a special shoutout to Sam and Tom for taking care of all the arrangements, as well thank you to the lovely ladies who served the delicious food. And the guy at the bar who made some truly amazing cocktails/drinks for everyone! The food itself was exceptional, and the atmosphere was simply perfect – wonderfully beautiful and not too noisy, making it easy for us all to chat and thoroughly enjoy our evening.

Had a lovely time at Orpington GPO. Would highly recommend GPO cheeseburger with blue cheese. That was a treat to my taste buds. Cheesecake not sure of as the texture differed from what I'm used to. You will enjoy it if you like it sweet 😋 Drinks were great and customer service was outstanding.

It's a lovely venue, thoughtfully designed with nice industrial touches. Seats are comfy and it's conveniently located in the centre of Orpington high-street with plenty of parking nearby. Entrance is wheelchair accessible and everything is clean.
Staff were very pleasant and helpful - offering us some water as we sat down is a big plus (they didn't try to sell us bottled water).
The food is a bit over-priced (£15 for burger and chips for example) ...but everything is these days. My only criticism - the burger patty was very dry. The other ingredients (roll, bacon, cheese, chutney) were lovely but the burger probably needs a higher fat content to keep it juicy. Chips were brilliant.
My only other complaint (and happens all too often) is the difficulty in getting a bill and then paying. In the end I gave up and paid at the bar. The hospitality industry is really struggling at the moment with staffing post Brexit and I suspect this is the issue here.

Well appointed restaurant in the lovely surroundings of the old Orpington Post Office.
I was part of a large group when I visited and the experience may well be different in a smaller group.
The staff were lovely and the service attentive yet respectful.
The food was ok, but was a little under-seasoned, but I appreciate catering for a large group. Most of us had roasts, which came with plenty of veg and potatoes on the side.

Went on a Wednesday night, and it wasn't very busy, so no real atmosphere, but that was fine for us.
Staff were really nice and welcoming, quick to take our order. Everything arrived in good time, and the food was really good. Only thing we ordered which wasn't up to par was the cripsy squid, it was very chewy, but other than that, it was a fantastic meal.

Visited for a Sunday roast and had a great experience! Our waitress was lovely and made us feel really welcome. The food was delicious.
Sadly they had run out of roast beef so I'd probably get there a bit earlier next time but the pork belly was soooo yummy! The meal also came with a super generous portion of veggies and gravy (which I almost always have to ask for more of but didn't here!!!)

It was my birthday meal and everything was perfect.
The pork belly bites are like candy that is sticky and melts in your mouth at the same time. My friend has mushrooms on toast to start and they were yummy with the combo of shrooms and that sauce.
We then both had burgers - she beef and me chicken and they were excellent. They were very accommodating she didn’t want the bacon on hers but I did.
The fries were so good and stayed hot for a long time.
I also had an Islay old-fashioned - heavenly.
We didn’t have room for dessert but they brought us out a couple of brownie bites and the were divine.
I would definitely eat here again.

Lovey meal, I had the GPO burger. They had so many gluten-free options, which was lovely to see. The atmosphere was vibrant at the same time welcoming for children at appropriate times. Service was promt which kind welcoming staff and cocktails were amazing.

Met a good friend here for lunch. Last time I was in Orpington this was the old Post Office and it's really good to see the old building repurposed as a good space. We were there for brunch and the restaurant was quiet. I enjoyed a full English Breakfast and my friends had a BLT, and avocado toast. We all had a glass of red wine. Friendly service, confortable chairs and it feels pleasantly removed the High Street.
