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.

I regularly meet my friend at The Chestnut Cafe, we wouldn’t go anywhere else.The staff are always polite courteous and cannot do enough for you. It’s spotlessly clean.The food has always been excellent, tasty and always plentiful.I would 100% recommend this friendly cafe In Chislehurst.

We love this local cafe - from the food, service to lively buzzing atmosphere- everything is perfect. Added bonus: portions are generous and prices reasonable (we both ordered the yummyMediterranean breakfast). We'll be back very soon.

Lovely café, service and food is brilliant with plenty of vegetarian options. Veggie musakka, halloumi kebab and baklava are some of my favourites. Clean too. Will be coming back again and again whenever possible
