What Jacob Davies doesn't like about Waitrose Cafe:
This restaurant is completely different from the previous cafe, which was open and bright. Unfortunately, the management has drained the life out of the restaurant. Additionally, the food and drinks are expensive and nothing special. I will not be returning. View all feedback. What Woofie D likes about Waitrose Cafe:
Considering how expensive it is now to enjoy a coffee and cake in one of the chain coffee houses, these days at around a fiver a pop to sit at often uncleared cluttered tables this is a refreshingly cheaper alternative. You can easily buy a pastry or cake and get a full size coffee for less than £1.50 using your Waitrose card (only once a day) or even less if you get a cut price cake at around 50p. Plus the parking i... View all feedback.

A disappointing transformation from the previous cafe, Progress Jim fails to live up to its previous reputation. The changes made are not what we were expecting...

You need to bear in mind that you only get one and a half hours in the car park. Otherwise you can receive a parking ticket.

The new Progress Jim restaurant has failed to live up to its previous reputation, with expensive and unimpressive food and drinks. However, the Waitrose supermarket in Beckenham offers a cheaper alternative, with free parking and friendly staff. Customers can use their Waitrose card to enjoy discounted coffee and pastries in a stress-free environment. While some issues with plant care have been reported, the store overall is clean, well-organized, and offers a variety of quality products. With helpful staff, convenient parking, and various amenities, the Beckenham Waitrose is a lovely place to do your weekly shopping.

Pretty good red wine selection, but a bit unimaginative in the malt whisky and real ale departments.
