There's an Odeon in the complex, as well as a PureGym and lots of other shops. Orpington Train Station is also just under a mile walk away.

It was my first time visiting Nando’s, and as a total "newbie," I was thoroughly impressed! I stopped in for a late afternoon dinner and had the Chicken Butterfly with sides of Macho Peas and Long-Stem Broccoli. We also shared the Halloumi Sticks which came with a delicious honey and chilli dip—everything was delicious.

The food was lovely and well presented. The staff were polite and attentive. The people cooking the food were wearing full uniform and seemed happy in their job. Very good vibe in the store. Looking forward to going again!

Listen to me and listen to me good. This tall curly haired guy named George is the most otherworldly rude person I have ever come across. He keeps talking to my girl which isn’t my girl but they keep flirting and I really am not liking this because if you think I won’t actually buck this 7 foot donny you have got me dead wrong. If you think I won’t actually grab some scrap off the wall and leng it at this guy for flirting with Grace I will prove you so wrong.

We were seated and served by George, he was friendly and chatty and made us laugh and feel welcome. He checked to make sure everything was ok but didn’t bombard us. He is an asset to your restaurant. The food was lovely and served quickly. We will definitely go again.

Seated and greeted straight away by Georgia and she gave me the bright yellow booth in the front corner of the branch. From one seat you can see the whole restaurant but I didn't want that so sat in the one facing the window. It's a clean branch, bright, well lit and colourful. The centre piece hanging down.. not sure how to describe it but it's unique and eye catching.

Working in Kent gave me the chance to try two new Nando's - with the first of the evening being Orpington's second one located in the Walnuts Shopping Centre. There's an Odeon in the complex, as well as a PureGym and lots of other shops.
