What Dino Karger dislikes about Appleyard:
The venue is charming, but we had to keep our coats on because it was as cold inside as it was outside clearly this is a well known issue as blankets are provided at each inside table, which is very unusual. The service was friendly but impersonal and slow we waited 45 minutes for three Sunday roasts and were not made aware, or kept informed, of the delay. The chicken roasts were very good. The beef roast was overcoo... View all feedback.

That is a fantastic little restaurant. personal service and warm intrusive yet stylish ambiente. we had to start the muddles, followed by sucking dicks. with a bottle house red. delicious.
The service was great and eating was incredible. I had a small amount of tapas and a sunday roast, best I had one! would they recommend
This little find exceeded all our expectations. My partner is half-Spanish and was very impressed by the authenticity of the food. Everything we ate was delicious, the staff were very friendly and attentive, and the prices reasonable. Will be returning!
Loved the fact you didn’t feel like you was in Sidcup it felt like we could have been in Spain! Tapas was ????
Wonderful atmosphere, absolutely delicious food. New lady was training and charming. So brilliant service overall. The fact that it was my birthday meal (even though stated in the booking) didn’t seem to be acknowledged which is the only reason in wouldn’t give it 10/10. We will still most probably come back soon!. ????
AppleYard has garnered mixed reviews following significant price hikes, leaving loyal patrons disheartened. Once celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere and attentive service, many diners lament that the food quality has declined, with undercooked vegetables and disappointing mains becoming common grievances. Though some visitors praise the friendly staff and delightful tapas, others find the overall dining experience lacking, particularly with the recent menu stagnation. While there are glimpses of enjoyable meals and positive service, the shift towards higher prices without enhanced offerings has led to disappointment, suggesting that management needs to refocus on customer satisfaction to restore its former glory.

Presentation is key and the presentation was not great although the food tasted lovely apart from the churros which were so greasy! And the chocolate sauce so watery. Wine not great either Staff were great, friendly and knowledgeable but restaurant is a bit cramped and staff kept knocking my husbands chair on the way past every time Lovely ambience and decor
Beautiful place. Great vibes, really nice, comfortable setting I would highly recommend the starters and small plates and go all out on them rather than a mains too as I feel this is where they specialised. Was absolutely delicious! Staff were really friendly and helpful and attentive

During my visit to London, I had the pleasure of dining at The Appleyard, which was so enjoyable that I returned a week later. I particularly enjoyed sitting at the high tables near the bar, where I could relax and enjoy good music, excellent wine, and delicious food. I will definitely be returning as every dish I tried from the menu was fantastic and the staff were incredibly welcoming. Overall, I rate the food, service, and atmosphere at The Appleyard a perfect 5 out of 5.
Tapas is lovely good portions. Good value. Wine is a good selection and good quality. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Gotta be honest, food was bland bland bland and stupid expensive Cheese on toast would have hit the spot and the £100 saving would have been welcome ! Try the curry house next door but one Amazing food and 1/3 of the price Dietary restrictions: No gluten free bread option Parking: Zero parking Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

We had a lovely meal to celebrate a birthday, party of ten. The food was delicious, the service was great and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you for a lovely evening.
What a lovely little place to go for a glass of wine n food!! The food is great to eat and get for the money!!! We buy a few bottles of wine to take home,
Lovely restaurant, first visit we ate tapas in the bar area rather than the a la carte in the main restaurant. Food quality was excellent and really enjoyed the look and atmosphere. Quiet, due to early lunch bur service was really good. Would definitely go back great find.

A lovely pleasant stop off, on the high Street across the road from the park. Polite and friendly staff, good service, really tasty deserts. We had churrios (so good), chocolate mousse and the gorgeous cheesecake with orange and salted caramel-Really nice fresh baked and not sweet. I would visit again for their brunches which look very affordable.
What a beautiful place! Wonderful Sunday lunch, and we will be back for the weekday menu. Beautifully cooked food, excellent service and delicious wine. All in a chic and cosy setting.
Almost don’t want to share a review otherwise it might get too busy. But this little business needs customers more than my selfishness to keep it a dining secret. **** marvellous. Enjoyed the starters more than the mains (but that could just me). Took me back to Spain! Great date night location for us! We’ll be back.
Lovely place for romantic meal with your lovely wife . Lovely music lovely food and friendly staff who look after you well . Definitely recommend and definitely will be back .. thank you xx
This place is amazing with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The wine list was simply fantastic, with a wide range across all corners of the globe, from new to old there is a variety to meet every taste, we opted for a Spanish Rioja which was simply outstanding well balanced, full of flavour and bold. Food wise we shared a selection between friends, all of which were cooked to perfection, with amazing presentation and fantastic flavours. I would highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back very soon!!

He anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, suggested flawless wine pairings, and made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. We can’t wait to go back again soon!
