Friendly space in Beckenham

“We live just up the road and thought it was a greasy spoon. How wrong we were. Poached is a postage stamp size gourmet breakfast restaurant. The menu is innovative. The service is warm and friendly. That totally know their coffee (fresh roasted beans on sale here too). A delightful place for breakfast (and probably lunch too. As a bonus they have a live train times board and do takeaways. 5 stars all the way.”

“We came for a Sunday roast. The food was exceptional, huge portions and lots of options (including multiple veggie options). Decor is beautiful. Service was lovely, staff were very professional. The atmosphere was nice but died a little when the music went off around 8.30pm and it implied that it was time for everyone to leave. Also the 14.5% service charge seems steep for Beckenham.”

“I had had a busy day about in Bromley and arrived early from that to a reservation I'd made that day for early dinner (18:15). Prices were properly reasonable for such fine dining. The presentation of each course was spot on, I'd even say en place, buuuuut not my element at this time. The maître d' was professional and courteous. I felt a bit under-dressed but braved through and they brought no attention to this and treated me. At some spirit auguery advice, my royal self reluctantly avoided steak this evening, going instead from chef's suggestion menu, the seared scallops and then sea bass. The scallops were grilled, and tender rather than rubbery as I sometimes 'expect' of scallop. I'd had some grilled halloumi around lunch tiem, and joked that scallops would be right out to pair with halloumi. I think there is this. The sea bass were served seared with skin on, and a sweet tomato salsa, with a potato tower of some kind. Service were quiet and excellent. I did not once feel rushed and I NEEEEED to return for some côte de boeuf or rib-eye some day soon. This should be written. I'll be needing dress better suited. Until then, I recommend that you do visit Branded Bromley if you should. ~ Lord Amadea-El, 6 November 2025 35:35 gmt24”

“Only place that has 200 gram cadburys tiffin bar in a 6 mile radius. cadburys pull your finger out and make deliveries to the supermarkets again”

“Absolutely love this place. Food is so good and the staff are friendly, efficient and chatty. The cafe always feels clean and always has great atmosphere. Will continue to return and recommend! Best independently run cafe in the area.”

“Seven Dials Beckenham was recommended to me by a family friend, I needed help and advice regarding my hair colour which I had been struggling with for a while. Rosie & Shanel took care of my hair brilliantly, from the moment I walked in the door I felt completely confident and reassured they know their stuff and could help! Being a family owned & run business the atmosphere in the salon is very friendly and relaxed, which is perfect for me as I am very low maintenance! I left the salon feeling a thousand times better and full of helpful tips and advice on how to get the best out of my new hair colour, and really happy knowing I have found a great new local salon. They also have a beauty therapy room, run by Lauren the therapist, who does nails, waxing & massages etc, didn’t have a treatment this time, next time! Highly recommended this lovely team for all your beauty needs.”

“This is a really nice friendly Cafe, the coffee and flapjacks are delicious. Very friendly and good service, if you are passing by I highly recommend you pop in for a comfy chair and nice atmosphere.”

“Baylee was so friendly. The açai bowl was lovely too!”

“A proper 10/10 place here. I came with my friends and dog and the service was incredible - very kind - and may I say super homemade cakes! We highly recommend it!”

“Met antipodean friends for dinner. Lovely food - lots of it - great lively atmosphere and fantastic service. So lucky to have this pub so near to us. Thoroughly recommended.”

“We visited Yammas Greek Restaurant on Monday 15/12/2025 to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was excellent – fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was delicious and clearly made with care. The service was outstanding. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel very well looked after, which made the celebration even more special. A perfect place for birthdays and special occasions. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a lovely evening!”

“Wonderful and authentic family run Thai restaurant, the owner is very welcoming and charming with his service. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced, I'll definitely be going back! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”

“Lovely pub! Service was friendly and efficient. The pub was clean both inside and outside. There is a terrace at the back with some table and booths. The booths are equipped with heaters so you can enjoy them during all seasons. Food was nice and portions were sufficient for a group of 4. Toilets were clean. I would recommend this pub for any type of event. You can enjoy a pint with friends, or a party with colleagues. They also have live music sometimes so check the board at the entrance for information.”

“A pub and restaurant which is very good. Food is excellent and price is reasonable and it is located very close to our house.”

“After reading all the reviews I was really nervous about the poor delivery times. So i decided to mail them and ask how long it would take. I got a super fast response, they told me they have improved there logistics and confirmed it would take 2 weeks. I placed my order which was about £400 in value and everything came within 10 days and was great quality. I've just ordered more items from them, again there customer service replied to my e-mails in 2 hours. Seems like they may have had logistical issues previously but I felt compelled to leave a review as there products are great as was delivery. I almost didn't order after reading terrible delivery reviews but so glad i did.”
