The 30 Best Socializing in Beckenham

“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.”

“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!”

“Top Award Staying Open Later than Tesco.”

“The inside squash courts in my opinion are the best in the area. The bar also has a small club feel with plenty of character. The members are friendly and there are usually people at the bar to say hello to.”

“My Stay at Beckenham hotel was very pleasant. Clean rooms, great welcome and good breakfast. I will be back soon.”

“Had a lovely time here with my family. Food was very nice and plenty of tables to choose from. Would definitely go again.”

“I’m not one to leave reviews, but it would’ve been unfair not to in this case. Byron and his team were extremely welcoming and friendly. I struggle to find barbers to cut my long, curly hair exactly the way I like it, but Byron got it right on his first try! Great barber shop, will definitely be one of the regulars.”

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

“Lovely coffee shop really close to the station, not the place to be sitting on your laptop (my mistake) it’s hustle and bustle and friendly customer service is great if you’re just stopping by and having a good catchup. But wouldn’t stay for long as it’s a tiny space. Definitely recommend for good coffee and quality baked goods. Had the blackberry danish was so good I forgot to take a photo!”

“Back again to this gem of a boozer in Beckenham. Great pint, great selection of different products to suit all tastes. It was busy when we went, but we got a table. Table was clean and we had all the menus and everything that we needed. Food was delicious, very warm and cosy comfort food. Atmosphere was cracking. We were served by the lovely Rachel, who I believe manages the pub. She was attentive, friendly and courteous throughout our visit. Overall, a thoroughly pleasant experience. We’ll be back again!”

“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.”

“Absolutely a lovely experience to dine here! The restaurant is really beautiful and well thought out. The service is excellent, particularly the manager (Ayhan I believe)was so lovely. The food is so good too.”

“My partner and I came here for our 4 year anniversary and we can say that we will definitely be returning! The food was excellent, with a wide range of dishes to choose from, and the service was also brilliant. We were looked after by Birol, who was our host/waiter for the evening, and he was a very polite, friendly and funny gentlemen! Our night was closed off with a special ‘happy anniversary’ dessert, which was a really nice personal touch! I highly recommend this restaurant! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This is the only restaurant we use for a curry. The food is amazing with good portions, staff are very friendly and the restaurant is nicely decorated. We are having a takeaway this Saturday and I can’t wait. Highly recommended”

“We were returning from a hospital appointment in London and decided to stop at Ask Italian in Beckenham so that we could be joined by my sister who lives there and lunch together. The service was excellent. Our daughter is in a complex wheelchair and staff at the restaurant went above and beyond to find a table in a comfortable space. There was exceptional attention to our daughter's needs and to my choice of food as I have food allergies. The food, the drink, the kindness and care were notable and guaranteed we would return there again and again. Having a very accessible toilet for our daughter turned this visit to a restaurant into one of the best we have experienced. Thank you to all the staff in so many ways. Jill, Nick and Amy xx”

“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.”

“Great refit and staff are lovely as usual, could do with some background music.”

“Today, Monday a fantastic experience. I took advantage of my day off to enjoy dinner without the chaotic stress of a Friday or Saturday night at Moon Lounge in Beckenham. In addition to enjoying a romantic atmosphere inside this restaurant, I also took advantage of a generous discount. Excellent staff and service, tidy and clean room and bathroom. Different and very well furnished environments based on the type of evening organised, I chose the restaurant room with a Japanese theme, fantastic. I tried many dishes on the menu (see photo) and the food was excellent, varied and tasty beyond my expectations. The two of us paid 100 pounds but with the food we ordered, 4 or even 5 people would have eaten. For people who like to eat well and without stress, I recommend this restaurant in the first few days of the week, I would go at the weekend just to drink and have some appetizers with friends. I advise.”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the hire of this venue. Ashleigh was very helpful from the time we booked until the actual party. Everything we’d requested was done without any problems. We would also like to praise the great staff on the night, Saskia, and her team who were all very friendly, helpful and efficient. We wouldn’t hesitate to hold another function there.”

“Lovely boutique, great selection of clothes and gifts!”

“I am so happy with the bits I have ordered from BabyQ, the quality and designs are so sweet and have made the perfect gifts! Very well presented and packaged, easy to navigate around the website, I really recommend!!”

“This outstanding ranked school has been there for several decades and the teaching staffs are caring and responsible.”

“Great work from Peter and the team. Very professional, supportive and helped us out a lot in starting up. They take all the stress out of your accounts and always go above and beyond. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“I've worked with Nicole and ThreeBoxes for 5+ years and they've been absolutely phenomal with helping me organise and scale my business. ThreeBoxes has provided me with quick and accurate reporting for my business whilst taking care of all the admin work to ensure myself and my business are compliant. I regularly recommend working with Nicole to my clients and will continue to work Nicole for the forseeable future.”
