Friendly staff in Beckenham

“I always ask for a specifc style for my son, but most barbers don’t deliver. Ibrahim nailed it and everyone there was so lovely.”

“I have been visiting Toolstation, Beckenham on a regular basis for nearly a year. It has become like a second home! Customer service is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Items can be easily ordered, if not in stock and can be returned if not suitable. Michael Tasker served me today and has done on many previous occasions. He is a charming young man, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help. I was not rushed or made to feel a nuisance, especially when others were waiting. I am always treated with the utmost respect. I would also like to mention Ed, who has served me on many occasions in the past too. He has always been patient and helpful, especially when deciding which handles to choose as I was replacing all my internal door handles. It was no trouble for Ed to open several boxes of handles so I could make a decision. He also carried two huge tubs of Wallrock paste to my car, without hesitation. These two young men are a huge asset to Toolstation and I hope they will be rewarded for their excellent service. I have also been served by many other members of staff and all have given the same high standard of service. Well done guys and ladies! Thanks to all of you.”

“Great company, customer service is great they're all very helpful they're very fast reliable and professional I would highly recommend”

“Great new place just opened. Italian bites & cocktails, cool decor. Pasta was home cooked & tasted great. Long Island ice tea was mixed the way it should be... About time we had a cocktail bar worth visiting.”

“Novi is the BEST espresso room / coffee shop in the ‘Nam without exception. It’s the warmth of the welcome as much as it is the delights within!”

“I’ve been a loyal Daisy Grey customer since 2023, and in that time it’s become far more than just a coffee stop for me — it’s been a constant companion through every stage of my academic and professional life. The team is consistently warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming; they remember faces, orders, and even the little details that make you feel like part of the community. During my undergraduate degree, the outdoor heaters kept me company through countless study sessions. As a teacher, I found myself back here on early mornings, planning lessons with a cup of something extra hot (which they never fail to get just right). And the outdoor plug sockets? They witnessed the highs and lows of my master’s degree — drafts, deadlines, and all. The coffee is always delicious, reliably smooth, and prepared with care. Their pastries are just as unforgettable: the croissants are always fresh, warm, and perfectly flaky, and the banana bread is genuinely the best in town. The fact that the staff remember my regular extra-hot order says everything about the personal touch that sets Daisy Grey apart. I regularly drive an extra ten minutes from work, even on my shortest breaks, just to get a Daisy Grey coffee — it’s genuinely that worth it. Daisy Grey isn’t just a café; it’s been a backdrop to my growth, a comforting constant, and the best local spot I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling “mine.” Highly recommended.”

“I’ve been here several times now since its recent opening. It’s a pretty looking place with a good selection of food both savoury and sweet. Staff are welcoming and you don’t feel pressured to leave. All in all a good local cafe to go to either with friends or alone”

“Been here many times and have always had a warm welcome from the owner/manager and the staff. Natasha is always so helpful and friendly. We normally have the set menu that is great value. We will be booking for Sunday Lunch next week.There are a lot of restaurants in Beckenham beginning with the letter P but none of them compare with the service and food at Papilios !”

“Ryan Spencer was very helpful and solved all the problems that we encountered very quickly, which made the service brilliant. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Top Award Staying Open Later than Tesco.”

“Took my son for his birthday on monday and had the best experience-from being greeted warmly at the door,to being seated and beyond. The food was fabulous. It was so good to experience good old fashioned hospitality- it was great and will definetely put this place back on my list. Thank you!”

“I came here with my partner and children. Delicious food and drinks. Friendly staff. Relaxing and gives out nice holiday vibes. Family friendly. I definitely want to go again. Thank you.”

“Come in here with family for Lunch and had Kaci and a gentleman serve us who was top notch this place from food to service has drastically improved best it has been in a very long time. Thank you to Kaci especially as her service was top tier and will make the best manager one day. Thank you for the chef as well as all the food has Improved drastically”

“Always fully stocked would appreciate if the house department was a little bit bigger but hey Ho at least it’s got a house department. The food is always fresh. The staff are very helpful in general just love shopping at Waitrose in Beckenham.”

“Very Good Restaurant and Hotel in London”

“Absolutely fantastic food at miso everytime. Always Fresh, and good sized portions. Staff always friendly. I also left my wallet there on a previous visit and the man drove to my house to return it! Can you ask for better service than that?! I would recommend miso time and time again, it's been my go-to for years you won't regret it. Thanks again guys!!”

“This is a no nonsense sports bar and the only one in Beckenham (the others are masquerading as sports bars - no sound on TVs and pushchairs everywhere). The bar staff are brilliant and work hard, plenty of big screens with different sport catered for. I’m delighted to be kept safe by management taking security seriously..”

“GOOD SELECTION OF RED WINE AND ALES AND LOCAL BREWERIES AND BEERS PRICE ARE REASONABLE”

“Nice gym & pool for affordable prices. Upon purchasing a membership, you receive a tour of the facilities and the membership card grants easy access. Opening hours are very flexible for all students & workers and personal trainers on-call for assistance.”

“The guys in this store are so welcoming, always say hello and ask how i am. Im disabled and these guys(all of them) offer to take my basket and help me shop. Ive never had this service in my life. Ive made friends with these guys,Billy,Ryan,Bev and its like nothing ive experienced before. These guys are absolutely brilliant. Coop should be so proud of all these guys. Many thanks ,Nige”

“Love coming here with my son after school. The coffee is good, there is not much noise, there's parking space and the staff are lovely”

“Very convenient and pleasant shop. Fresh vegetables, meat etc. Could pay with cash. Handy for bus routes 356, 358, & 194.”

“We have been ordering from Indian Ocean for years and unfortunately we have moved out of the area no but would still order when we go back to the area. Never dissapointed with the food here, I'm half Indian so always have high expectations. We have tried a lot off the menu, all good. Generally order the prawn puree (the stopped doing it with king prawns a long time ago but still good),lamb dish and Korma which I'm not a fan off but tastes good here. Good flavours, not too spicy and not bland. The prices have always been good and so has the service. You always get a random bonus dish for free- the bombay potatoes are great! I look forward to when I am back in the area.”

“Plenty plenty plenty of nik naks. YIPPEE”

“Wonderful service.. Fabulous wine... The best beer going... Top ratings..”

“Great room for the price. Just stayed there and the reception team was incredibly responsive. Will be staying here again definitely as you really can’t find something this good for the price point in London.”

“Absolutely the best charity shop in Beckenham. The staff are very nice and helpful. It’s always a pleasure to visit. Highly recommended!”

“The creamiest, most succulent pasta in the south east. Just don’t order the vegan dishes - as they are more flavourless than water I think it was just an unlucky experience, so I’ll be the bigger person and look beyond this unfortunate experience. 5* otherwise”
