The 30 Best Quick meals in Beckenham

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

“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.”

“Always an excellent meal. I had chicken dupiaza and my wife had a vegetable curry main dish. We shared a special rice and a paratha. Delicious meal and excellent staff. I highly recommend, ten out of ten.”

“1st time ordering. Was tasty big portions, good prices delivered in quick time. Great mixed starter. Egg fried veg rice very nice and a good black bean tofu veg; no chillies which my partners happy with. The crispy chicken wings i found so delicious and beef chow mein lots meat! Yum! Will order again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The best restaurant for miles around. I love this place. The staff are wonderful, the food is outstanding. Its also very reasonable. The best.”

“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”

“Had a weekend brunch here and we absolutely loved it! this place is local to me and I couldn’t believe I’ve not been here before. It’s a cute café, decent food, very welcoming staff (they probably know half of the people who come in here as they seem to be regulars) ☺️ We enjoyed our food and the portions were generous! It’s the little things that I truly appreciate, the decor, the way the food was laid on the plate and the atmosphere in the cafe. Overall, would recommend!”

“Had superb vegetarian focaccia (mozzarella, sun-dried tomato, aubergine, olives). Cooked to perfection, crispy outside, melty inside. Generous portion and very reasonable prices. They also sell authentic Italian products - pasta, oils, pasta sauces. Also delicious looking cakes, which I didn't try, as focaccia was substantial! Friendly, helpful staff.”

“The BEST Chinese takeaway around - have been going here for years, the food is consistently delicious and it’s a wonderful family owned establishment. The chicken in Peking sauce is an absolute winner! Would absolutely recommend!”

“A lovely little gem on the High Street and a great place to get some quick food if you don't feel like visiting a chain restaurant. The two owners are lovely and friendly, and the sandwiches are delicious with a great variety to choose from on the menu. Would definitely recommend for a quicker and cheaper option on the High Street.”

“I have been many times to Wimpy Beckenham and every time is such a nice experience. I prefer their food to other chains and their staff are so lovely. The last time I went with my daughter and the lady that served us was so nice!!”

“This pizza shop is fantastic! I absolutely love their pizza, and the delivery was prompt and delicious. The pizza arrived warm and fresh, which made it even more enjoyable.”

“John’s Kitchen is amazing. I usually don’t like some Chinese takeaways because it can be so oily but here they don’t make it oily. Their ho fun and sweet and sour is the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend this place”
