Food cravings in West Wickham

“Lovely food, nice big portions and great friendly service. Interior decor is nice and walls are lined with pop culture posters.”

“I’ve ordered delivery many, many, many times from Sakura for a couple of years now. I’ve eaten Sushi all over the world - really good, and really bad. Short of fine dining restaurants such as Nobu, Roka, and Zuma (which obviously don’t deliver to Bromley and Orpington lol) this is the best I’ve had in the UK. Constantly VERY reliable. Clearly it’s tough to nail presentation with delivery Sushi, but for a south-East London delivery provider (where we’re all sick of pizza, kebab, burgers, fried chicken, Chinese and Indian) Samira is a refreshing change I’ve also never had a single mistake in my order. FIVE STARS especially considering location. For simplicity, please get back on JustEat or UberEats.”

“If you want the ordinary poached egg on sourdough that is rolled out in every so called artisan bistro then this is not for you. Raifs serves up all the popular dishes and some more interesting ones with an extra level of flavour. weather its a breakfast or just a coffee I have never been disappointed. If you are lucky enough to get there on a sunny day when they have the tables out you can enjoy an al fresco meal and feel as though you are abroad.”

“Had a lovely late breakfast. I asked for lightly cooked mushrooms. Came out as I liked them.”

“SUMMARY: Lovely friendly cafe / restaurant. Consistently good. We've visited on different days at different times - always hard-working, polite, diligent, and serve great quality food and drinks. Today's pictures are on a Sunday and the place is very busy - but we don't mind. It can be a bit noisy - but it's a cheerful chatty noise. We have been here when it's super-quiet and peaceful, so it's up to you to choose a good time depending on your mood. THE MENUS: Great choices of breakfast, healthy options, Mediterranean, brunch, lunch and snacks. We're never bored with the choices. Today's photos are the grilled chicken salad after the gym. Substantial, fresh and delicious. See photos of the menus. PRICES: very fair and reasonable - generous portions. DECOR & COMFORT: Contemporary look, nice, comfortable and a choice of indoor and outdoor. At the rear there is more outdoor seating in a cute yard but is down some steps. THE SERVICE: Always good. Very attentive and well trained staff. Eye contact and a genuine concern to make your visit good. They will change things, fix things and want to do the right thing for you. TOILETS: Very clean, smell-free, large, adequate with baby-changing fold down table. Step-free level access for buggies and wheelchairs. See photos. BUT... no handrails for the disabled which really would be a bonus. There was a chap in a wheelchair in the café when we visited, and it would be so much better putting a few more facilities for the less able. (Additionally, the Café entrance step could be corrected to allow for step-free access. It's very small, but I know from experience that even these small steps can be stressful for the less-able.) Finally, regarding the toilets: it is a fashion these days to install really high-powered hand driers. The one in this toilet, like many, is DEAFENING. At some stage, the law will change and these will be removed. Illogically loud. (And you can't put your wet fingers in your ears whilst trying to dry your hands! ) THE LOCATION: Busy part of West Wickham near a cross roads and the local council gym-swimming pool. So, parking outside is on the meter - see photos. The street across the road is free is you can find space (except 1-2 pm, Mon-Fri... be careful, you will get a ticket!). Or, pay to use the gym car-park. OVERALL: You can see from the ratings that The Grind is well respected and loved amongst the locals, the elderly, the young, parents with children & babies, groups, alone, the lads from the gym, the girls on a chatty afternoon... well liked by all. Cheerful, lively, successful. Well done to The Grind. We'll be back!”

“Very reasonably priced. Food was very tasty and the customer service was excellent. We tired this place for a first time on Valentine’s Day and will be going back.”

“First time trying this place and will certainly go back again. Such a relaxed atmosphere. Good choice of food and not breaking the bank. Menu had variety for lunch and they serve an All day Breakfast too. I had the bubble and squeak with poached egg and the eggs were perfectly done with a nice runny yolk. You go up to the counter to place your order where you will see an array of yummy cakes. I met a group of friends and we were there for at least three hours but you are not made to feel rushed and we sat for a good 90 minutes after our food chatting away. Certainly going to spread the word with friends and family to try this place.”

“Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food the taste and the portion sizes... The guys were very friendly and wasn't extortionate. Defo will go back again.”

“The food was great, but what I liked the most was their bruschetta. Omg it was delicious!! I am going back there just because of that chopped tomato well seasoned!! The parmigiana di melanzane was very good too, very comforting for a cold evening.”

“Good food and love the quotes on the wall! Will be back :)”

“There is always a warm, friendly, cheerful welcome at Feel Good Cafe. The coffee is first class and the vegetarian Panini are excellent. It takes strong willpower to resist the wonderful cakes. An all-round excellent, independent venue; we recommend it highly. Martin & Hester.”

“This is one of the best kebabs around the flavoured kebabs and chicken fillet burgers are amazing”

“I visited here on Christmas Eve 2022 with my brothers and mother. We were served by a waiter called Ted who was beyond friendly, considerate and catered to us massively. Considering how busy it was being Christmas Eve, Ted made our experience a breeze and was the most accommodating waiter we could have asked for. Would 100% revisit and if you have Ted as a server/waiter you will be the luckiest!”

“Staff are always friendly and very helpful it always a friendly atmosphere”

“Excellent quality food. Staff friendly. Fresh always.”

“Second time I’m buying pizza from them. Extremely satisfied. Ordered food home due to covid. The pizzas were absolutely delicious and it was prepared and delivered very quickly! I also called the restaurant to ask if one side could be made spicy and they followed instructions perfectly. Definitely recommend!”
