JOSEPHINE KITCHEN

Josephine Kitchen is one of those places that feels like a warm hug on a cold day. With a hygiene score of 5, they’ve clearly got cleanliness down to an art. Jacky Pettyfer found the sourdough and toasted banana bread to be downright lovely, making them feel like they were enjoying a homemade treat. The staff, described as lovely and kind, add to the cozy atmosphere that makes you want to linger longer than you should.

But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows; there are some mixed experiences, including a surly waitress that made Nina Parker feel a bit on edge. Though the vibe is generally good, it seems like the youthfulness of the staff might need a little more seasoning. Overall, it's a safe bet if you're in Beckenham and fancy a solid meal, just hope you don’t catch someone on an off day.
