Hooked Café & Grill in Orpington offers a cozy, approachable spot that blends the best of a traditional café with the heartiness of a grill kitchen. Situated on Tile Farm Road, it functions as a comfortable place for locals to settle in for a proper English breakfast or a casual lunch without the fuss.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, featuring clean, well-maintained interiors that reflect a no-nonsense approach to quality and service. It’s that kind of place where you might find families dropping in for a weekend brunch, a couple enjoying a laid-back weekday breakfast, or friends meeting up for coffee and a slice of carrot cake.

Hooked’s menu focuses on classic café staples served with consistent care. The English Breakfast is a clear highlight, known locally for balanced portions and fresh ingredients that feel thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed. For those who prefer lighter fare or plant-based options, the halloumi and veggie burgers offer satisfying meat-free alternatives, while the smoked salmon and avocado options show attention to variety beyond the norm.

Visitors often appreciate the genuine friendliness of the staff and how meals feel freshly made, which echoes in the way dishes like the prawn cocktail baguette or chicken shish wrap are described. Portion sizes tend to be generous but never overwhelming, which makes Hooked suitable for a substantial morning meal or a filling lunch without the risk of food fatigue.

Although it’s a café at its core, the grill element means there’s space for more substantial choices commonly associated with local diners or neighborhood grill rooms. Desserts like carrot cake, cheesecake, and chocolate fudge cake round off visits on a comforting note, appealing to those who may want to linger over a strong coffee or an iced latte.

Because of its location near Orpington’s residential areas, Hooked Café & Grill serves as a steady morning and midday stop for residents who appreciate reliable, straightforward food and a calm vibe. The best times to visit tend to be early mornings for breakfast or early afternoons for a casual catch-up, as the vibe stays friendly but unhurried.

In all, Hooked Café & Grill suits those who enjoy familiar café staples done well, with options that cater well to vegetarians and non-meat eaters without feeling like an afterthought. Its balanced menu and warm, efficient service make it an everyday kind of find rather than a place for special outings, contributing neatly to Orpington’s local dining scene.

I only ordered two rolls to go but from what I see of the food it looks really good. I see a large breakfast on a rectangle white plate. I will definitely be back for one of those soon. As for my food. I only had a prawn cocktail soft baguette. It was really fresh and full of flavour. No complaints from me. It was very good value too.

First visit to Hooked. Finally, somewhere I have a great choice of things to eat! I'm a fussy eater, and I won't eat meat; but here, vegetarians / non meat eaters can be very happy. I had the light breakfast with avocado, smoked salmon. 2 eggs, tomatoes, and beautifully cooked halloumi : ) Yummy. My daughter loved the carbonara pasta, too. Wish I lived nearer, I'm near Bromley Common, but I will be back ASAP! The young lady taking orders / payments was so friendly, efficient, and welcoming. A big thank you. Definitely recommend Hooked.

Genuinely the best cafe in the area and beyond. The staff are lovely, the place is immaculate and the food is immense. You will not leave this place hungry! We highly recommend the chicken shish wrap, the breakfasts and the insane lamb chops (which are pictured). Everything is cooked fresh with love and care. Definitely our new regular spot!

Fabulous breakfast - food is very good quality, and large but not excessive portions. Feels like the food has been made with care. Service is great too, and the place always looks in great condition. Great value for money, happily come again

I recently visited this charming cafe and was absolutely blown away by the experience! From the moment I stepped inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere enveloped me, with cozy decor and soft lighting that created the perfect ambiance for a relaxing meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, greeting me with genuine smiles and ensuring every detail was perfect. The menu was a delightful mix of classic and creative dishes, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I tried their signature avocado toast and a cappuccino, and both were exceptional—the toast was perfectly balanced with flavors, and the coffee was rich and expertly crafted. The presentation of the dishes was Instagram-worthy, yet the prices were surprisingly reasonable for such quality. What truly sets this cafe apart is the attention to detail. The music was just the right volume, the seating was comfortable, and the service was prompt without feeling rushed. They even offered a small complimentary pastry with my coffee, which was a lovely touch. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee stop or a leisurely brunch, this cafe is an absolute gem. I can’t wait to return!

Absolutely a hidden gem! From the food, to the service and everything in between what a great place. I had the Hooked Special and wow it did not disappoint! The food was full of flavour, and the service was incredible. Everyone was super welcoming and smiley :) Just overall a great experience here and will absolutely come back again.

Great cafe, great prices. I love the chicken curry and my husband loves the breakfasts. If it gets packed just get takeaway. Staff are friendly and accommodating and owners look after regulars.
