Ultimate relaxation in West Wickham

“Excellent food. Always busy. From bacon baps and full breakfast to full roast dinner there's always something to suit your appetite.”

“Lovely place and friendly staff. Had my hair cut by Selma who was very polite and did a fantastic job of fixing my hair. Would be more than happy to keep going there to have my hair done in future.”

“Great barber, new guy Simon is very talented did my beard and hair exactly how I wanted. I haven’t had a cut like this in ages! Highly recommend.”

“What can i say.. I have been going to Brid’s since it opened 3 years ago and I can honestly say i’d never choose anywhere else. Brid has always done my lashes and is honestly AMAZING and does them perfect every time. Overall the salon is BEAUTIFUL, all the girls are so lovely, caring and friendly and its such a nice atmosphere from the start to the end of any treatments.”

“Lovely family run business, Dominic is fantastic his done just I ask for,using for further for sure.Mel thank you everything you guys are fantastic.”

“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!”

“Lovely play cafe for little ones, no big structures so it tends to be smaller kids and a nice small space so you can sit and have a cuppa or lunch or amazing cake and always have an eye on where little one is. Highly recommend x”

“Great service and really friendly staff. Always love my colour. I found I've felt uncomfortable in some salons, but not here. Very competitively priced!”

“Visited with the family after a number of years absent and we were so glad we went back here. The staff are attentive and friendly, made the kids feel comfortable and adjusted any menu items when we needed to. The veal escalope was cooked very well for my main course and tasted lovely. The family fed and the piano player and singer rounded off a nice evening. Will not be leaving it as long as we did till the next time.”

“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.”

“Lovely place to eat. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are always so attentive. Food is excellent too...highly recommended.”

“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.”

“Absolutely fantastic service! Attended this practice for an emergency appointment today as we have recently moved to the area, I was promptly seen and after X-rays were taken the dentist talked me through my options. I walked in with seriously high levels of pain and discomfort and walked out with no pain and my symptoms had been relieved. The dentist was very thorough and advised me of an after care and follow up plan with my registered dentist. Myself and my son are now on the waiting list to join this practice and we look forward to becoming members soon!”

“Lovely friendly staff, clean will maintained salon. Would recommend to anyone and would not go anywhere else.”

“Good guys, clean cuts they know their trade well and what I want too, no surprises just good cuts”

“As a Managing Agent we are always looking for and hoping to find 5 star contractors and we have been using Limetree Maintenance for many year and I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“I normally have acrylic nails and they last me 2 - 2 1/2 weeks. Since i have been going to this salon (3 years) they now last me 3 - 3 1/2 weeks and even then i have to have them removed. The staff could not be more happy, nice and helpful. I will always recommend this nail shop!!”

“Wouldn't go anywhere else. Amazing hairdresser. Cant recommended enough.”

“Booked a last minute appointment for my daughter for hair up for her prom.....All of the staff made us and especially her feel welcome and she came away feeling like a pampered princess......I would highly recommend Shellshock and a big Thank You to Laura who made her night more special”

“I have used this nail shop for years and love it. Always so helpful and do my nails so well. They now have a beauty department at the back so I can also have my treatments done in one place. Best nail shop in West Wickham x”

“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!”
