“Really fresh and tasty sushi with plenty of options. The rolls are always well made and flavorful, and the staff are very friendly.”

“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.”

“Amazing service lady behind the counter is so lovely food is lovely quality, tasty and big portions! What more could you ask for!”

“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.”

“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 !”

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”

“The staff were very lovely, they worked with a smile on their face which was refreshing. The room was clean, bedding towels, bathroom etc. The heater was easy to work and warmed up the room relatively quickly. The only thing missing was a hairdryer which was disappointing.”

“Very Good Restaurant and Hotel in London”

“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”

“Fantastic place. Super helpful and very friendly chap. Highly recommended! Use it or lose it..”

“There was a young guy with curly hair who was working there last Saturday. He seemed really friendly and nice when spoken to. Which was something I really appreciated when coming into the shop not in the best mood. He is doing a great job.”

“From the moment you step inside, the aroma of freshly ground coffee and buttery croissants wraps around you like a cashmere scarf. The interior? Think sun-drenched nooks with velvet armchairs, vintage bookshelves, and fairy lights that twinkle like captured stars. It’s Instagram-worthy without trying too hard. I ordered the lavender honey latte and the avocado toast with poached eggs and truffle oil—and let me tell you, my taste buds threw a party. The latte was silky, floral, and perfectly balanced (not a hint of soapiness, which is a lavender crime I’ve suffered elsewhere). The toast? Crispy sourdough, creamy avocado, eggs cooked to runny perfection, and that truffle oil… chef’s kiss. Portions are generous but not overwhelming, and every ingredient screams quality. The staff? Absolute angels. My barista, Leo, noticed I was sketching and brought over a tiny complimentary matcha madeleine “for inspiration.” Service this thoughtful should be illegal. Even the playlist—lo-fi jazz with a sprinkle of French pop—feels”

“Staff friendly and helpful. Quality of food excellent. Large choice of menu. Premises always very clean and tidy. As soon as a table is vacated, the table is cleared and cleaned. Would recommend Hutch's highly.”

“Great pub, fantastic atmosphere PS they don't do food, but their sister pub The Chancery (next door) does an excellent menu!”

“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!”

“We used Branching out for funeral flowers. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. We had some unusual ideas and they listened and gave advice and the drinks while we deliberated were very welcome! On they day of the funeral were were absolutely delighted with the flowers. They were beautifully arranged, vibrant and just what we imagined. They really brightened a very sad day for us. Thank you so much.”

“Nice little spot in the park court yard brilliant for dog walkers and visitors. Nice menu serves stone baked pizzas with a few to choose from. Breakfast buns and a nice selection of drinks. Ice cream counter that also serves special dog ice creams. Very nice staff all the food is fresh and they have a selection of cakes and bakery goods. Well worth a stop”

“I cannot recommend Truepenny’s highly enough! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sam who was super communicative, calm and enthusiastic - the perfect combination for first time buyers! We’ve just picked up our keys and were given a lovely bottle of champagne and genuine excitement from the team. It makes all the difference. Thank you for making buying our first home so fuss free ♥️”

“Had ear wax removal and hearing test done at Akasi Pharmacy and it was an excellent service. Polite, gentle and thorough. Would recommend.”

“This is a busy park cafe. The coffee is very good and on our last visit my son had a huge almond Croissant which was exceptional. We have never had a meal but the menu is varied and what I have seen served looks very appetising. Finally the staff are friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit in my opinion.”

“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.”

“Gorgeous coffee and cake and friendly, helpful service. Only thing I’d change was the lack of choice for gluten free – though the mandarin and chocolate chip slice I had was top notch. Oh! Love the garden out the back, too! Wish I lived closer to visit again!”

“This pub has always been the best pub in Beckenham. Whenever I'm back in London I always make a point of visiting this charming boozer. A proper pub with an excellent atmosphere and good service, serving a lovely pint.”
