The Best Restaurants in Whickham, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

We went for my son’s 9th birthday and everything was great. My son loved the food and he is a fussy eater! He ate the tomato pasta with garlic bread. Six people came including three adults and three children. Two children ate adult meals and all rated 5*s. I loved the atmosphere and the chef and waitress were amazing and attentive. I ate the seafood spaghetti and I enjoyed it i would say 4 out of 5. The pizza looked amazing and the calamari are definitely the two that stood out and we all took a liking to. My seat did need a shake to remove a little mess and the table had minor crumbs. Otherwise the table was ready when we arrived as I called ahead. All was put right quickly and we all very much enjoyed the meal.

Lovely little place for amazing pizzas. The chef is such a gem and so is the staff. The chef came out to see us and personally checked that we were looked after. He came across as someone really passionate about cooking. The food was delicious. Absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend this place. The pizza even came cut into half on separate plates which is quite nice!

Lovely place, very nice staff and very delicious food. We ordered pizza and pasta carbonara,both were awesome.

Went here for a birthday lunch. I'm so glad we did. Food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were plentiful. Staff were polite and friendly from the minute we walked in to the minute we left. Very attentive as well. Everyone in the group left very satisfied and very full. If you haven't been here before, I would recommend you try it.

Once again a 10/10 experience at Helvadere, the cocktails are always amazing, nice and strong! The food always delicious! Twilight prawns are the best (Please don't ever remove these from the menu!) The grilled meats were perfectly made, fresh and tasty! Also the best service from the staff as usual, especially Kareem! Made sure everything was as we liked and was very attentive. Thank you Kareem x We'll be back soon to enjoy again soon! 🧡

This place is 10/10 Service: I don't know what it is recently but a lot of restaurants have a lack of customer service, but here is amazing. As soon as you walk in the staff are friendly and tentative. You are not waiting to be served there is always someone around if you need anything. Food: We had the Hummus Lamb Kavurma it is an absolute must. In my opinion the best I have had, second best is La Moda in New Malden. Then we had mix grill combo for two with bulgar and white rice. Another must have. There were so many star players in this dish, but the but the top 3 the grilled vegetables 🤤, the chicken wings and lamb pieces, and white rice ( okay that is 4). Also the garlic sauce is also *chef's kiss* Dessert: Sticky Toffee Pudding ❤️ that is all I have to say Shisha: The shisha was good Frozen Lychee and Blueberry was 7/10. The African Queen was 2/10 The service for the lounge 10/10 Parking is limited but there are spaces which are a 5 minutes walk away Overall: Highly recommend.

Great music, good vibes beautiful decor and ambiance. I would definitely recommend the hummus lamb kavurma. The amaretto sour was absolutely lovely!! Come and visit with your friends and family.

Lovely to be there with family and friends. Luckily found available table for 10 walk ins and everyone enjoyed every second spend there. We will return for sure. I haven't tried this time the shisha, but is a must for my next visit. We will come back for sure and most probably in a bigger group. The staff was amazing and very attentive, making us to feel welcomed.

The most authentic Greek restaurant in London! Was great to meet the chef Nikos and his mother Maria who are in the kitchen and put a lot of love and care to every single food on the menu.

I'm busy and YOU are also very busy! However, I am going to take some time to write and share this review with you... For the sake of clarity, I will also tell you that I work for a prestigious supplier to the hospitality industry here in London. I have worked in this industry long enough to know when a restaurant is worthy of a glowing review. This is one of those reviews! Geusi is one of my clients (I will not reveal who I work for as the purpose of this recommendation is NOT self promotion) and today I dropped by. Geusi Greek Authentic Cuisine is a family run restaurant specialised in Hellenic cuisine. Niko & his family run this newly founded lil' establishment with the aid of an insanely skilled Head Chef (Yorgos). What do I know about Greek food? Well, for the past 14 years I've been lucky enough to spend my summers in Crete. My partner's family built a lovely home overlooking Souda Bay in Chania. I do three things when I'm there: I scuba dive, I ride a motorcycle all over the island...and I eat. With all of that out of the way, I can safely tell you that everything I sampled today blew my mind. I literally closed my eyes as I was eating...I teleported to Greece! The marinated octopus starter was super tender, the prawns saganaki melted in my mouth, the Tzatziki was superbly balanced and the Kalamarakia (made with baby squid) was deliciously crispy. The last thing I was treated to was Feta with Meli (feta enveloped in a light parcel of filo pastry). It's a starter but I handled it like a dessert today! Delicious. I didn't have to write any of this and I hope, for your sake, that if you live in Bromley (West Wickham) you must try this place. I had to travel for about an hour today for a "courtesy visit"...I wish Geusi was closer to where I live, because my new favourite restaurant is in your neighborhood. Just go! Thank me later.

My first time in a Greek restaurant. The food had plenty of flavour, nice and tasty. It started off quiet, but got a lot busier, obviously a popular choice. Not a long wait for food. Service with a smile, we had a lovely server - Constanza. She was smiley, friendly, helpful, and informative. I would definitely go back here, and I think also quite reasonably priced.

Beautiful restaurant, fabulous service, awesome food! Sooooo pleased we have Gefsi Authentic Greek Restaurant in West Wickham. Awesome food, fab staff, fab wine! The staff and greeter was very nice. The place was clean and smelled good. Our waiter was awesome, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. The food was fresh and awesome. Then we also had dessert Portokalopita (orange pie) and that was really good as well. My congratulations to the Chef and the rest of the staff!Everything about this restaurant was great. Lovely atmosphere with really nice people. Definitely will be back.

I was recommended this place by a neighbour, it was definitely a good recommendation. 😋 Flavours were delicious, I think it was the best fried rice dish I’ve ever tasted! Octopus balls also very tasty. Presentation of food also notable and appreciated! nice to see care and love in prepping and serving our food. We will certainly order from here again.

10/10 on the food, ambience & service - we thoroughly enjoyed our visit! Leslie, who looked after us on our visit, was so welcoming, bubbly & friendly, not only to us but to everyone who walked through the door. We took advantage of the 2 courses @ £16.50 deal (available from Sun-Fri until 5pm), which worked well for our budget. Kato is such a fantastic addition to Whickham & the North East food scene!

1st time eating here and was not disappointed. The staff were so friendly, the atmosphere and decor was amazing and the food was even better than I imagined. We ordered the Dumpling and Spring Roll sharing platters and the spicy beef bao bun (See pics) for our starters, which were soooooooo good we could have easily ordered a whole load more. Our mains were a mix and again tasted sublimely good. I think we each tried each other's dishes. I will defo have to come back again and again just to work through the menu. Highly recommend.

From the moment we entered the restaurant, the staff were lovely and made a real effort with my friend and I as well as my friend’s 1 year old. The food was fantastic, everything we ordered was 10/10. 100% will be returning!

Amazing restaurant! Celebrated my 21st birthday here and this place did not disappoint! Food was great and staff were lovely! Definitely coming back… cocktails 10/10 + food ;)

We reserved a table here for 12 people and had a FANTASTIC experience. The staff are lovely are made us feel very welcome. The restaurant is lovely and upbeat with beautiful decor. The food is amazing!! I would definitely recommend the mix grill. The bulgar is very moist and well seasoned. Our family were gathered to celebrate our baby’s dedication and we are so happy we picked PERA as the place to eat after. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was. Thank you to everyone at Pera!

I recently visited Pera, and it was such an amazing experience! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. The food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the chicken wings and sweet potato fries, and they did not disappoint! The wings were perfectly seasoned and tender, while the sweet potato fries were crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. It was the ultimate comfort meal. Pera truly exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for delicious food, great service, and a welcoming vibe, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I’ll definitely be back soon!

My husband treated me to my birthday meal at pera. Our first time trying out this Turkish restaurant. Was beautiful the moment I stepped in. Amazing decor. The starters were delicious! I had the lamb Beyti which was absolutely juicy and delicious! Very attentive, friendly waiter & waitress. A great place to dine out. Would definitely be returning for more. Thank you for a lovely time 🙏🏼

It is such a beautiful place, the food was so delicious, great prices, different choises and they were so nice with us, I strongly recommend this restaurant. Thank you so much for the experience I will visit you next time for sure. 💜

I have had a wonderful experience at this place, lovely food and coffees, with a very good quality and authentic italian ingredients. The service was amazing as well, Letizia and her husband took care of me very well. Lovely people! Will come back for sure.

the staff and food was very good. Divine one might say. I ordered the seafood king linguine and to say that my soul left my body to ascend to the heavenly father would be an understatement. The pancakes were soft, sweet and warm like a hug given to an old friend. Would recommend coming here with other people

The linguine I inhaled from this fine establishment, made me contemplate my position in this small helpless world against something as supreme as the Devine sauce that honoured my tongue, making my tastebuds do the griddy in praise. I was left speechless breathless and ascended into the next life. if only my stomach wasn’t growling, not because I was hungry but because it was begging for more of the holy pasta only found at this restaurant. Truly 10/10

The BEST roast in Beckenham by a mile. Louise couldn’t do more for us, even created a little bowl of food for our baby and wouldn’t charge us anything for it. Huge portion, delish roast potatoes and homemade gravy and perfectly cooked meat. What more could you ask for! If you’ve not been here yet, go now.

Louise does an amazing job at Roast - first class customer service and amazing food! We have had roast dinners in there and take away and both are equally delicious and tasty. It is our favourite go to place in West Wickham - highly recommend!

Went to Roast Bistrow today as a group of 7 with two kids under 5. We forgot to pre order two vegan dishes and Louise was more than accommodating for us and whipped up two lots of freshly made pies. One other family member had the normal pie and mash and said it was beautiful. The rest of us had the all meat roast dinners with all the trimmings and it was delicious!! Two members had the snickers milkshakes and said they were one of the best they had before. We all left with full bellies. Everyone loved their meals and we had no complaints. Would defo recommend!

I went to Roast Bistro with four friends, the food was good, the service was great and the atmosphere was lovely. The best thing for me was the gf alternatives especially the amazing jam and coconut tray bake.It was as light as a feather not at all dry and so good nobody would ever guess its gf. I'm definitely going back for more!

A beautifully appointed restaurant and overall fine dining experience. On arrival we were warmly greeted by our hosts and escorted to our table by numerous friendly and courteous staff. Service was swift, polished professional. Our waitress was a lovely lady, very patient in answering our questions and engaging in conversation about the restaurant. Starter was a lobster raviolo and was really delicious, the delicate crepe pastry went really well with the lightness of the lobster filling. Main course was venison, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection although I think the portion size should have been just a bit larger. Dessert was a lovely warm apple tart tatin, rich with cinnamon and well balanced between the sweet and the tartness. The only issue is a minor one and is largely not the fault of the restaurant. There was a party of approximately seven people in the middle of the room who started loud and made more and more noise as the night wore on until my friend and I literally couldn't hear our own conversation. The staff totally failed to address this problem so I had to take it upon myself to quieten them down in my own inimicable style. It was frustrating that a Michelin star fine dining experience was marred by the failure of the staff to deal with people who had all the grace of a hen night in Blackpool. I'm not overreacting or being a snob about this. I have no problem with people having fun and being a bit boisterous but this was just ridiculous. Other than that minor blemish I think this is a really good restaurant and well worth a visit.

Have wanted to visit for many years as I live close by but have been slightly put off by the lack of variety for vegans and vegetarians (as is the case in most high end restaurants). Decided to put these reservations aside as the festive cocktails looked so appealing. From start to finish it was a polished, professional and delicious experience and does make you wonder why you’d ever bother going into London to find fine dining again when it’s right on your doorstep. Was welcomed into the bar first where the cocktails were wonderful (and potent!) then tried the vegetarian gnocchi with sides. Although the portions look small, the food is rich and filling, and a delight to the tastebuds. Another big win for me is food served on hot plates as I eat very slowly and hate cold food. Why doesn’t every restaurant do this? Perfect service and will definitely be back.

We visited Chapter One for a birthday celebration with my wife and son. There was no kids menu, but it wasn't a problem for us. The service was excellent—polite and attentive staff. We had a three-course set menu. While the monkfish starter wasn’t to my taste, the venison main was very good. I really liked the pie on the side. The dessert was delicious, and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the meal. It's a very good restaurant, but it doesn't have the London gloss and for £270 you can visit a very good restaurant in London.

So pleased I was able to get a last minute booking in the brasserie, as it was a really lovely meal. Attentive service, a great mojito, and really tasty food! The tuna tacos were my favourite and the sea bream was cooked perfectly. Planning to return for the a la carte 3 course menu soon.

Chose the Set Menu 3; food beautiful and very plenitful - had the lasagne and it was so rich and tasty I couldn't finish it! Restaurant ( and bathroom ) spotlessly clean. Staff were friendly and attentive. Parking was free on surrounding roads. Overall, this is a bit of a hidden gem and now we've found it, we will definitely be going again.

First time visiting and really liked this venue. Cocktails were reasonably priced and really delicious (and potent!) Really pretty and classy decor; friendly, helpful and attentive service. There was s 2-4-1 pizza offer on until 5pm and our server very kindly applied the discount even though we ordered after this time and the pizza was fab. I especially recommend the Strawberry Caipiroska. Will definitely return.

Lovely, welcoming and delicious food. Food wise my personal favourites are the King Prawn Linguine or the Mushroom Pizza (with added Chicken). Food is always served hot, just the way we like it and great service with a smile and a chat.

We bumped into this lovely restaurant and it was a very good surprise. The restaurant was modern and the service was very attentive and kind. The food was very delicious and the portions were quite big at a very reasonable price. Totally recommended.

Enjoyed an immensely delectable dinner here whilst visiting family who live nearby and are regular customers. The menu was full of so many delicious choices, it was hard to choose. All of our food was hot (temperature) and flavorsome. Everything was great value too. The thing that makes this restaurant special however are the staff. They are so welcoming, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend, just wish we had something as good near us.

Haven't been to Prima Donna's in years, I went recently and it did not disappoint! The waiters are very polite, we were shown to our table straight away and drinks came very quickly. There was a Jazz singer and pianist playing, they do jazz nights every Tuesday apparently. Our food was amazing I would definitely return.

Amazing place! I loved the food and the atmosphere! I totally recommend and will visit again! For seafood lovers- you have to taste the oysters!

Had an amazing Christmas Day dinner. The staff were wonderful service brilliant . The food was delicious . The atmosphere was very Christmassy friendly ,We will definitely be going back for Christmas Day , We always go through the year ,But it was our first Christmas dinner 5 star , well done to the management
