Orpington GPO, Orpington

Gastropub

This gastropub opened its doors for the first time on 4th July 2020, at the end of the Covid-19 lockdown.

The building was previously the Orpington General Post Office, so the premises are large, airy and spacious with high ceilings, and extend a long way back from the street frontage. The décor is in a modern US style with large exposed steel ventilation ducts below the ceiling and a large neon sign behind the bar, along with white painted walls and dark grey ceilings for contrast. Large window panes bring in plenty of light, whilst industrial lighting hangs from the ceiling. Tables and flooring are predominantly wooden with tanned leather banquette seating. The exterior is in dark grey and overlooks an enclosed area out front on the pavement for outside drinking.

Keg beers include Meantime and Camden Town. Emphasis is on cocktails as well as gin, wine and spirits plus soft drinks and beverages. Happy Hours are 4 to 6 pm weekdays.

Cask ale now discontinued (as reported on 18th May 2024) with both handpumps removed. There are no plans to re-instate it for the foreseeable future.

The food offerings include Sunday roasts. Full menus are available on the pub's website with an emphasis on burgers. Sunday brunch is available 10 to 11.30 am.
